Hi, I came across this forum while researching my current water heater installation. My water heater was recently replaced when the old one failed (still under warranty with only a couple of months left [:-slaphap). The first part of the 3" flue is a straight 12" run which then connects to an adjustable 90 degree connector (at 90 degrees) before joining a tee in the main line. It seems to me it would make more sense to have a slightly shorter (~9") straight section connecting to an angled connector that would be at about 135 degrees. This proposed setup would seem to create a much better flow out. Any thoughts/comments would be appreciated. Thanks much!
