Was wondering if anyone has an answer to this. When using the flexible

water lines made by fluidmaster. The ones with the rubber core &

steel cover. What is the minimum distance they can be from asingle wall
water heater vent line. I would think a minimum of 6" but I cannot
find
anywhere that documents that & you know how it is trying to contact
the
company. Does anyone have & answer & possibly written
proof/Specs?

Update: I talked to a local plumber & he stated that the local code says
these types of lines have to be 18" away from single wall vent lines.

If the vent line is in the center (naturally) that means the heater
inlet/outlets take a right angle for a few inches, then another right
angle if they go vertical as most do. This puts the connecting pipes
18" + 18" + 4" apart, some 40" in simple math. I have never seen any
installation like that. So there must be some other clever geometric
arrangement or the local code is wrong. Enlighten, please.
