I'm back again with another gas WH replacement question regarding the gas connection to my (potentially) new WH. I've seen several pictures, videos, etc of making the connection from incoming gas line to the WH gas valve and noticed variations in how they're piped. The attachment shows the most common I've seen, top image, and also what my current connection looks like, bottom photo.
My questions are basically;
1) what's the difference
2) is one preferred/recommended over the other
My potentially new WH will be 40,000 BTU and my current is 32,000 BTU so I'm sure I'll need to make some sort of change but was curious as to the piping differences first.
Thanks in advance.
