This thing has been leaking for about 6 months or so, according to the manager, 250 gallon gas. I know the tankless fans will be happy, cause we're gonna replace it with a pair of Rinnai's. It was way oversized to begin with, so it does'nt make a lot of sense to go back with the same. I'd like to take some guesses on the price of a direct replacement. My jaw is still on the floor from that quote. I will be posting the "after" pics, as soon as I can.
That 2" pvc going into the floor drain is required to have an air gap on it, minimum is same as the pipe size....i watch too many backflow videos. Nice color scheme i agree, should paint a unicorn on the side and sell it as art.
My handy man said that you could glue some T-1-11 base board around it, then screw sheet metal around it. Do you think that would hold for another 2 yrs?
Im guessing looking at another tank replacement, 15k out the door, installed?

Here's the finished product. The previous heater was oversized, so we went with this double setup. So far after a week there have'nt been any complaints.
Rinnai's use the Ubblink (sp?) vent system designed for it. It has a stainless steel inner vent pipe and a PVC outer piece. It vents out the inner pipe and draws air in through the outer section, making the pipe cool to the touch.

Oh jeez that's corect, I can't believe I forgot that. :whistling2: I remember it was sort of a pain to cut it to a particular length, doable but not my favorite thing to do. I just finished the Noritz N-0841MC, nice unit but pricey. Thanks for the refresher.
