That means they have to be installed so they are close to the wall. Sometimes thats hard to do.

Yes very aggravating

All electric and we have to remove one gas wh and replace with electric wh and new circuit and conduit

So if you have to run an electrical wire do you have to have an electric license in the county
that you are working in or will you have to sub that out to an electrician?.... does it have
to have a hard electrical conduit ran to each heater??

Do you just have to capp off the gas line ??

it sounds really pretty easy but their always seems to be a snag or catch.....

do you still know or remember how to solder ??

Sometimes these kind of jobs are just too far away and when you take it on
all hell breaks loose in your own back yard

no propress, it all must be soldered

 

[Master Mark]

I bet that somewhere in the fine print, there is a stipulation about the kind of solder
and flux that you have to use-- like no self tinning flux allowed, and 95-5 solder only
and probably type L copper only .....

also -- do permits have to be pulled in that county for each unit when you switch out
different types of water heaters...?? We are supposed to do this here in indy when upgrading
from a 40 to a 50 but no one pays heed to this..

I have been screwed enough times over the years
to think of just about any possibility or way to get
myself pile-drived right up the old bung-hole.... 😆 😆

just looking out for you sparky

Was this some random email you were sent? Those are probably sent to hundreds of contractors and I always ignore them. I’d rather stay in town and take care of my regular customers.

 

[Pipe Rat]

Just say no to flex pipes.

Just say no to flex pipes.

And pvc waterlines, sharkbites, compression stops, pex stubouts, and toilet flanges without a stainless bolt flange.

No propress aloweed,Maintence hates it

Good, one more thing they have to call a professional for. But then again, if its male adapters, what is there to really hate?

In Ky, each separate Blding will have to be permitted with 50.00 base fee and each water heater under that roof will charged a 20.00 inspection fee,it be around a 1400.00 permit fee

Solder is regular lead free,I have the spec book,whatever flux you want to use,I like oaty #5 and nokorode if it's real cold,also has to be type L copper,I figured 300ft total

I Dont know much about propress,it's to expensive for me

 

[Master Mark]

Well, whatever happens I suggest that you stick it to them deep..to make it worthwhile.
if you dont get the job then it was not in the cards and you might be dodging a bullet..

I know for sure if I were to bid that job, the very day I start the project,
my phone would begin ringing off the wall......

this is true,I will lose customers and would probably make about the same money by staying home and doing service calls and new work than I would putting these heaters in,it's nice to get a big amount ever now and then tho

seems like that would require an electrician. Yeah, I would think so. 😬

What do you mean Terry????? You of all people know that an electrician is nothing more than a plumber with his brains beat out

All you need to do is change the lower thermostat of the water heater next door to an upper thermostat then run wires from that thermostat to the top of the new electric heater.

And there you have 2 water heaters on one 30 amp circuit. Work smarter not harder, come’own
