Venting has been a chronic problem with my NG water heaters.
This is the second one that displayed the same venting issue.
On startup, you can see by the melted plastic bits that venting spills until draft is established.
This is joining the 6" boiler venting (also atmospheric) before entering the chimney. Chimney goes from basement to the roof (2 story house).
Would upping the water heater venting to 4" solve this problem?
The current water heater is not long for this world, it's a 9 year warranty on year 10 of service.
