I posted a few days ago on relocating my HW heater to make more

space in my basement. I purchased a Kenmore (AO Smith) HW heater on
Friday and today I started piping the gas. It was a lot easier for me
to come off the Tee for my furnace than to use the existing gas line,
which will eventually be capped off and enclosed in the wall. *You
can't see it in these pics, but the *old gas drop is actually more to
the right of the old HW heater. Plus this also let me keep the old HW
heater runnning while I work on the new one. Here are some pics:http://picasaweb.google.com/mikerock...eat=directlink

Is there anything wrong doing it like this?

Uniform Mechanical Code 805.1 An angle greater than 45 degrees from
the vertical is considered a horizontal run. The total horizontal run
of a vent plus the length of horizontal vent connector shall not
exceed 75 percent of the vertical height of the vent.
