If you smell it, it is there. Get out and get another opinion. 911.

This is on a newly installed gas water heater. This what? You revived a ten year old thread and don't explain what your problem is. If you're smelling a slight whiff of gas at a water heater, I would mix up some soapy water and apply it at all connections, look for bubbles. If it's more than a slight whiff and/or you don't know what you're doing, shut it off and call the installer. |

Remember: you will always smell the rotten egg smell with the igniter is first trying to kick on. That's the gas being deployed so the spark can cause a flame to heat your water. Only when you are not trying to heat your water should you never smell the rotten egg smell. When it's idling it should not smell. When it's active you will definitely smell it. -- for full context, visit https://www.homeownershub.com/mainte...er-127340-.htm |

I've had many water heaters and never had one where it was normal to smell gas. The igniter or pilot sets the first gas to come out on fire and if there was any odor it should be going out the exhaust, not into the building. C |
