For T.t: If you are referring to the same project. The answer is yes and no.
HW loop is a class in the program. water heater is an object in a class.
The radiators are branch objects connected to the HW loop and not to a water heater, but may be a water heater tank.
There are many water heater types, electric, gas, oil, etc. It is a boiler in the HW Plant Loop.
Water heater tank is a storage tank, (and need not have any volume, instantaneous tank.)
That is why I suggested that you need to learn the names from the EPlus manual and not from the Wiki link.
The DHW tank can be part of the same HW loop, to get the heat source from one boiler, but the water is not in the same HW loop, because the hot water loop for radiator does not want to be connected to the water main water.
HW is a closed loop. The water is circulated to the coils, radiators, and heating coils.
In DHW (domestic HW) the inlet to the tank is the water main cold water the outlet is to the tap and used and then to the drain (sewer). The EPlus objects are different for the shows, etc.
