Should be double wall flue passing through there I think.I'm really digging the "type b" vinyl dryer vent going into the ceiling and the high tech foil tape mechanical connection.
And the valves on both hot and cold water lines. One shut off valve on cold side down here.I'm really digging the "type b" vinyl dryer vent going into the ceiling and the high tech foil tape mechanical connection.
Ahh, my bad. Still looks like poo:laughing:the two front valves are for a heater coil in the air handler nextdoor. only one shut off.
You can never have too many that's for sure.I install full port ball valves on the hot and cold on a heater. This is to be able to swap the heater quickly, drain down or blow down for maintenance or to be able to remove the heater entirely and loop easily for test purposes.
In service plumbing, the concept of too many service shut offs is just a myth perpetuated by stingy people that hate service plumbers and want to make our life harder.
That would be a code violation here, you can't valve the outlet side of a water heater, only the branches.I install full port ball valves on the hot and cold on a heater.

I believe what you are looking at is an Ameri-flex vent connector which is snapped into a B-Vent. I'm not sure what the aluminum tape was for but the vent connector is the only vent connector I am familar with which has a 1" clearance to combustibles based on that design.I'm really digging the "type b" vinyl dryer vent going into the ceiling and the high tech foil tape mechanical connection.
Is there a reason for that?:001_huh: We can (and usually do when repiping) and install a relief valve. No quake strap. No pan required when not in habitable space on first floor. No plastic allowed anywhere near the flue(though you wouldn't know it from the pic)That would be a code violation here, you can't valve the outlet side of a water heater, only the branches.
