Hopefully someone can offer some guidance on a problem I have
with
my water heater.

It would seem that the boneheads that built my house 7 years ago
failed to put the hot water heater in a location where the T&P
relief valve can safely dump water to a drain.

About 98% of them are installed that way..


The one in my house has a copper tube going up along the vent (for
gas
fumes) and draining on the roof, near the chimney.


Which is against code, if you live in an area where the outdoor
temps
fall below freezing.
But, it's still not smart, unless there's a way for you to know
whether
it's dripping or not.


Freezing temps and seeing a drip really don't matter


Yeah, so run them damn things outside in freezing weather... Idiot!


My point stands whether you like it or not. Corrosion and valve failure
are
concerns whether or not there is a potential for freezing weather.
Remember
context.

Kjblow is so eager to fabricate faults and inaccuracies he often takes
the dialog out of context.


Looking for a treat tonight?
