Ben,

At first I thought that plug was for a dryer, because the plug looks like a 30 or 40 amp dryer plug. Aside from having a universal receptacle on that (probably even more dangerous than the universal plug), it looks like that is pretty thin wiring (12 or 14 gauge), which wouldn't be suitable for a for a heavy duty dryer circuit.

Though the filename is disposer wiring, so it could just be the picked an odd plug for it.

[gear junkie]

This was what was left by a licensed plumber(no bs) who didn't know how to solder so he used this. There was a cone of melted solder where his solder just kept dripping out of the joint, so he used the next best thing-glue.

[Service Guy]

That is just sad.:shakehead:

This is what happens when you decide that 15% silfoss cost too much so you decide that solder works just as well without costing so much.

tyman, those copper flexes are abou all we can use in earthquake country. the stainless braided ones fail in a few years. i've gone back to copper flexes 6 years ago. we also have to strap the heater at the upper and lower 1/3 with a rated approved seismic restraint.

that water heater vent looks awful flat. hope there's not another 90 at the other end.

I still have the first lead bucket trap with bottom outlet that I replaced though.

I was looking for a new house and was looking in crawl space and found the supply line to dishwasher was 5/8'' auto heater hose and the drain line was 2 different colors of garden hose i wish i had taken my camera for the plastic bags and duct tape to stop the leaks in the waste lines

[Herk]

the supply line to dishwasher was 5/8'' auto heater hose and the drain line was 2 different colors of garden hose

Are you sure it wasn't the other way 'round? The heater hose isn't rated for that much pressure but the garden hoses would handle it.

Yes but that was the whole problem. When the santee was roughed in it was to high to install a branch tailpiece in finish. That is why the condensate was hooked up to the trap arm instead of the tailpiece. I can understand doing this once but this project was full of them.

T&P would act to vent it.
I'm waiting for CRACK (NOT Dunbar - edited) to 'splain it.

[Masterplumb]

If I'm correct that is a Weil Mclain indirect. There is no drain on the bottom of the indirect tank. That is supposed to be the draw off that "drains" the water from the tank. Although it is in the wrong location as it should not be in the auxillary tapping it should go in the cold tapping.

That's kind of what I don't like to do many times it won't reseat itself properly and start leaking.Leave them alone and they have a tendancy to last longer.At least that is my honest opinion.

Another thought...Be easy to pressure test off that nice bib Crack put on for me.

Those relief valves should be lifted now and then. Ever see what happens when they never get used, then don't work when you need them to? I'm sure a fair percentage of the plumbers on this forum have at one time or
other. I don't so much have a problem with using a tee if the probe is long enough, except there doesn't appear to have been a reason for it?
It's not even an outlet, the piping is going of the srv outlet. Seems like the tee should have been put in the domestic piping at least.

No I haven't.What are you telling me,you pressure test on the other side of the t+p to see if it kicks off when a tank fails.

What I have seen is four valves that I or others have fiddled with for one reason or another start leaking to where it had to be replaced.

[plumberscrack]

You're a smart one ;) One of the options in the piping diagram has it on the cold side but this heater comes with an extra full lenth dip tube for using the auxiliary tapping for a drain down.

T&P would act to vent it.
I'm waiting for Dunbar to 'splain it.

Dunbar didn't install the heater but he's free to 'splain it to you :rolleyes:


Sure looks like a Gold Plus to me too. I agree the tee should be on the cold water inlet.

Ultra Plus 60 comes with a Watts XL-100-8 T&P valve with 8" element.

Is that dielectric corrosion? I've never seen that on WH that are 10 years old.

No thats chemicals in our drinking water after they are evaporated.
Small leak on 90 just out of picture. She has been aware of this leak for 3 years but didn't bother to call about it.

If it makes everyone sleep better at night I will confirm thet the auxiliary tapping does indeed have a full lenth diptube and if so, I will move the relief valve and brass tee to the hot water outlet. My thinking is, the relief probe would not be as effective inside the dip tube...right?

Boilerman made my point...you're supposed to test them annually.
If they can't hold when you trip them, they won't hold when they trip on their own and nobodies there to see it happen & replace it.

No, but as a plumber, when you fiddle with a relief valve and it doesn't reseat, what's the big deal with replacing it? You just saved the homeowner a call down the road.

The 8" element means it reaches the tank, designed to be used with a tee on the hot water outlet. I still don't understand the purpose of the boiler drain, although I missed that it wasn't a valve too when I first looked at the pic.

This is an indirect fired water heater. 2 tanks. Domestic 60 gallon storage inside a stainless steel tank with maybe 10 gallon capacity?. Boiler water circulates through the outer tank to heat the inner domestic. Very effective design. The problem is there is no way to drain the inner domestic tank. So they give you an auxilliary tapping into the top of domestic with a long diptube to "siphon" water out if you need to drain it. Not likely you will ever need to. These things last forever.

I worked for a shop that specialized in multi-residential maintanance & renovation.
One of the younger guys snapped at me for using the T&P for draining water mains as we were working because he'd had trouble at other locations.

I explained it to him, he still went to the boss and the boss told him I was right...if we came across any that weren't functioning it was additional work to boot.

You'll be surprised at how few have trouble, but when they do, you can explain to the customer that it's best you found it first rather than it discharge without anyone around to notice.

Being Scandinavian, with strong influences of both Italian and Irish on either sides of my family, you can't imagine how confusing my childhood was.

Actually what you are thinking is W.A.S.P. and that has nothing to do with with immigrants. As their aren't many Italian protestants.

True! I think you had it then "With Out Papers"

[wrench spinner]

From Wikipedia:

"Wop is an English pejorative ethnic slur for a person of Italian descent. It is derived from the Neapolitan word "guappo", meaning a person who flaunts an overbearingly cocky and swaggering attitude."

Keep in mind it is from Wikipedia so it may not be true!

Funny in the 50s ,Back in the boston area. it was Italian and Irish [I'm a thick Mick,as You all found out ]. OHH The wonderful smells of cooking those sauses. Then "Manga manga",
feeding us all till we couldn"t move. Then We'd watch them play Bocci on the dirt road out front. Once in a while we'd square off and have henerdous rock fights " ouch".
Did any of You older Guys have rock fights when You we're Kids?

[toolaholic]

All clear, You said that sorry mess is a Wall Mart . That failure was done by a licensed plumber ! Signed off by an inspector! WHAT A HACK

I'm sure you recall the rivalry between "Eastie" and "Southie"..Irish vs Italian.
What sucked for me is I'm both, with a Scandinavian paternal namesake.

I grew up with my Italian gramma putting a heaping plate in front of me reciting "Mange, Mange...VITA!". I'd eat so much it hurt my stomache, pleading with her to let me stop along the way.

Then some sundays we'd go to my Irish "Nana's" for boiled dinner, which I preferred because it didn't hurt my stomache so much not being forced to eat ten lbs of pasta.

I used to joke that I was a "McWop".

[Masterplumb]

It's "mangia". It took a little while before I figured out what youse guys was trying to say.

[toolaholic]

" Mangia" ,Thanks. None of Us ever had any Money,But it never was a problem. We played pond Hockey,Baseball ,football, and explored the farms and woods,fishing,chasing small animals through the woods with home made spears.They always got away!. No x boxes. We did have THE RADIO. The lone Ranger, Sam spade,Amos and Andy. RED SOX VS. those Terrible Yankees ! My grandkids don't know what fun is!!

LOL he was a licensed plumber and the city did signoff on it. The inspector was in shock when he came in and looked it over after we cut the flooring up. I don't think he ever thought it was gonna be seen by anyone :killingme:
:scratchhead: I said "Did you inspect this water park ride?" :killingme:
