I'm not really sure how good the pics are but I got called out on this one a while back. Someone made their own powervent waterheater.

You can buy that as a kit. I have installed 2 in 16 years. They do work well on long horizontal runs or sidewall exit. I just threw one away the other day I installed. It lasted around 15 years. I went back with a PVC vented Lochinvar unit.

That is normally were the fan is. It is immediately before the wall penetration. There shoulda been a thimble outside.

I think I mounted my fans with 1/4" all thread through holes in the bracket.

The hokey meter is pegged.:laughing:
