Let this be a gage of your inspecting skills. There is a problem here that you have never seen before and probably never will again. You might need to zoom in.

You mean besides a level working space?

What is next to the VTR? Air intake?

EDIT: is that mounted on an old skylight?

Could be, but I think some manufacturers require it in the instructions. Of course, the open tee after the trap would really defeat any other purpose.
 
Not yet. I would suggest zooming in for a closer look. Ya I never should have said that you might need to zoom. You definitely need to get closer. Well I didn't but then I was there. If you get close it's obvious that somebody forgot something. I suppose another hint is due. It has to do with an inappropriate use of a product. Oh Hell, I'll repeat a hint. The only new thing here is the appliance as it is a replacement. Now Shirley, you will figure it out.

Shucks, I reckon I aught'a give it up because some of you are going to be disappointed with me. Maybe after a few more misses. Maybe in six months. I bet brudgers can spot it in the first minute.

We may have more than one here. Is the install 210.63 compliant?

Not on this side. The problem is not electrical and there is definitely more than one problem. This is a problem you have never seen before. Nobody here but me has ever seen this problem and none of us will ever see it again. I have already named the problem.

The Gauge????????????????????????
Click to expand...
Yes! There is no need to pressure test the existing gas pipe. That gauge has been there since the first unit was installed 15 years ago. It's corroded and you can't see the dial. Just off hand, I would say that it's not listed to be a permanent part of a gas system.

OK I know, this was a dumb exercise but nobody has accused me of being a cerebral sort of guy. Now and then, I like to prove them right.

I still wonder what that is next to the VTR..

We don't have any units like this around me. Is the 30" level working space not required?
 
The gauge is the very first thing that jumped out at me. Too bad I didn't see this post earlier... I would have won the rubber sucker award!

Ditto here. I looked at the picture and said to myself, 'who forgot to remove the pressure gauge?'
