The 1st pic was not complete........The lines are straight and strapped and covered in the last pic i posted...however the gutter flexed alittle when it was strapped. The H.O. actually got more than they asked or expected. The "black pipe" is insulation wrapped with al tape and painted black so it doesn't look like ****!!!! shining aluminum....i insulated it because its in gravel...I brought the insulation all the way up because i dont want termite spray getting to it as the pipe follows the foundation.

Well its still not perfect...I tried to talk them into letting me cut the sheetrock and run the pipes down the wall and out under the unit. This would have cut down on the time it takes to get hot water and been a very neat job. I advised the best way.....but I'm not gonna walk away and not do it when they will just call sombody who will. I also told them if they change their minds later and want to run the pipes in the wall they can at anytime and it will be the best it can be but it works fine the way we did it.

ROCKSTARPLUMBER

I have no idea. I purchased it from the gas supplier here and the instructions said it can be installed in any position as well did the counter man. I checked my receipt but it has only their stock number and a price. The maxitrols can also be installed in any position. The vertical positon with the pressure adjustment screw upright may be a prefered method of install but any position is acceptable. Just like some of my ex girlfriends

Yes. Absolutely not allowed in B.C. We paint our outdoor pipes for corrosion protection here. Lovely Tremclad grey.

Not so. Regs can be installed in any orientation. What's causing you to think they need to be horizontal is our local inspectors' demand that the vent restrictor be oriented that way. I guess it's in the code somewhere - I don't know where - I don't do enough gas anymore to keep up with their constant changes. Guys who install the regs vertically just put a street elbow in the vent opening and screw the restrictor into that.

Anyway, an outdoor reg shouldn't need a vent restrictor anyway (or should it?...). Just aim that screen down so the reg doesn't fill up with rainwater.

I've never heard of any such rule.

Thats a nice install, but it makes me wonder...

I know that the AC unit is outside,
with a cage around most of it....

what keeps this tankless from being messed with
if some kid wanted to have some fun with a bb gun.. ??
softball, base ball bat>>



it seems that their ought to be some sort of cage that can be put over that whole unit and anchored to the wall to completely protect it from tampering...
just about anyone including kids could mess around with it...





she says she dont get along with her neighbors, right??

The 5,000.00 front door would be a better target. And thats prolly a lowball number.
