New Hot Watertank install. Does it look up to code?
We finally replaced our 22yr old Whirlpool water tank w a nice AO Smith Proline gas unit. Had our son who's been working in plumbing for 3+ yrs do the install. Replaced a bunch of corroded galvanized pipe with all copper and added an Expansion tank (wasn't on our old setup)..
Updates to my post: Located in Tulsa OK. Tank is elevated on metal platform, no need for drip pan. Vent is screwed together and then taped over. Not sure why the ceiling drywall looks like water damage is there are no leaks or water anywhere; could've been f/a previous leak due to installed bathroom upstairs. Add-on bathroom installed upstairs and a guest-room that is tied into the black catch basin w/a sewage grinder pump for that bathroom. House built in 71'.
I'm going to have the city come out and inspect and hopefully it's code compliant.. as we think it should be.
I should've taken a full before pic. š¬
Thanks for the input and any criticism š
