HAHAHA......that water heater is going to move a bit when the big one hits, even with those straps lag bolted into the concrete, I want my tank type heaters to be able to move a little. I will have enough other things to do when the big one hits. This way nothing will get ripped out of the wall.

Those stands you buy from Barnett's.....they are not code. At least they wasn't years ago.

Barnett's was good about it; they reimbursed me and I kept the stand!

I get that one from Fergusons, and they are stamped with all the approvals needed to be approved. I also lag bolt the stand to the wall.

I have never been called on, and it is not a complete 90 degree, with a 90, yeah, I would be called, but this is still going to flue properly.

Remember, I am limited to what I put back, this is a changeout.

I do not a have a closed system, no regulators or check valves, an expansion tank is not required here unless you have a PRV or check, or a closed system in some way.

Here in AK, it is considered verticle if it is less that 45 degrees. If we can not get a 12 inch rise before a turn, we have to increase the flue one size up.

Nice job on the install. Thats exactly how it would look when i do them except the t/p has to be piped within 6 to 24" of the floor. Yours goes to a drain I suppose...

Is it B vent penetrating the ceiling?

WestCoastPlumber · 01-03-2009, 11:49 PM

Yes, B-Vent pass the bucket. you can only have vent connectors in exposed locations.
