I know this picture comes

with a 1000 words but I have a few more. Forget about combustion air...I bet the door rattled when it fired off. The clearance to combustibles to all sides is on a chart on the front side. When I told them that the cabinet must go, they wanted to line the cabinet with sheet metal and drill it full of holes for combustion air.

The best part is that I was told that it was there when the house was purchased and since all they did was windows, drywall and paint, I couldn't say anything about the water heater. Well Flipper, you're talking out your blow-hole and you need another permit.

Let's face it, instant water heaters do not make design statements.

Shut off valve?

Yes. Shut off valve? Where does the TPRV discharge pipe go? Possible impact protection if in a garage. Also, many of the Noritz models allow zero clearance on the vent pipe....so what's with the HUGE collar?

What was the required side clearance?

Where do you find all of these buffoons?

Here's one I found last Friday during an inspection for window replacement.

I like the easy access flushing ports. (Left side facing the wall). That appliance connector is way to small also. Wish we required permits for window changes. That's where the fun is apparently!

Not sponge paint behind unit! Very poor design!

Nice vent connector. Also enjoyed the feces on the wall.

That's funny. They look like paw prints but I haven't been blamed yet.

I thought it was splattered blood from you beating the plumbers face!
