well it is a water heater

I wrote 32 corrections. I even noted that the connector is too small. I missed the valve. The kid doing the work pointed it out.

No strapping...

Not raised....

No clearances from combustibles...

Nice loop de loop in the fuel line....

plenty of combustion air....

It was during a followup inspection that the kid told me about the valve. It could be that the kid is wrong. The valve in the picture has been replaced but the valve in the picture could have been a WOG valve. I guess I need to see the offending valve.

Is that Teflon on the threads?

Is that Teflon on the threads?

Yes it is the wrong Teflon.

Treated wood?

 

[ICE]

That's wood treated badly.

 

[fireguy]

That's wood treated badly.

But is it a 2 x 4 or a 1 5/8 x 3 5/8 or 1 1/2 x 3 1/2 piece of wood?

I have inspected a few dozen of these for the same company. They haven't followed the engineered plan.....ever. That's never without the n. This time, they stuck six feet of 2x6 on one side of three rafters and called it good. There is a homemade truss that interrupts the path so even if they knew better they still couldn't follow the plans.



They broke a rafter tie and look at what the did with the vent.



I'm glad that they are getting better.

It's amazing the crap we have to inspect and the yahoo's doing the work. $200.00 dollars worth of stuff from "domicile station", and wallah, were saving energy!

Free hot water from the sun! Should figure in the roof repair with every sale!
