I was over at a customer of mine's house last week doing an electrical job. I have my plumbing license, but generally stick to electrical.
Ok, I was looking at her water heater, completely confused.
The gas line comes over to the hot water heater, and then 90s straight up along the water heater, 90s over horizontal to the T&P valve, out the other side of the T&P valve, and then 90s down to the gas inlet of the water heater.
In other words, the gas goes through the T&P valve before it goes to the inlet. From what I understand this is completely wrong, but someone told me they used to install them like this many years ago.
Anyone have any insight into this? I can draw something with MS Paint if this isn't decribed clear enough.
Thank you!
