As title says, is there any better way to line these up? I am lost on what my other options are. If this works going to send it. Just dry fit so far. Thanks in advance for your help

Depending on mfr's maximum elbow count and distance chart. I might try two long sweeps or even a street 90
my mistake, I thought you were talking about the pvc venting.

Are you saying street 90 coming off the ball valve? I have to move 2 directions aka 2 axis. up/down + left/right, so I would need 2 more 90s after the street. I would have come out further from the wall but then I block the exhaust. Easier to redirect the copper.

I tried a few different combinations using street 90s but it just looked funky with multiple 90s seemed less rough of a change with the 45s.

The copper configuration looks fine. If you have it connected without strain then you're good to go.

I think Breplum was thinking the OP was asking about lining up the venting because it was not hooked up in the photo..

Ah- that makes more sense given maximum distance allowed on venting. I just had that in there as a guide for how much clearance I needed to leave. Hooking up the PVC last so easier to solder without obstructions.

We only use corrugated stainless steel WH flex. So forgiving.
