Terence McCann Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Is there a flue on that WH Mike? I see the plastic water sprinkler there but it looks like it's sitting pretty far back. With regards to the bollard - it looks like the thought was to protect the gas line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Panels need 36" of clear space in front of each. When I see the missing barrier, I tend to 'throw the book' at them and add whatever else I can find. Is this a seismic zone? Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbinspect Posted January 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Yes, the flue went straight up and out through the garage ceiling. The photo creates a bit of an illusion, because the wall transitions from interior to exterior wall right behind the water heater. There is no setback in the wall, but the water heater is mostly protected (according to code) by the arrangement of the OH door. But one must turn hard left to enter the garage which makes hitting it with a car more likely than usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Not a siesmic zone, although we did experience a tremble a few yeasr ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Just curious-are there two, 40-space load centers pictured? Why? Thanks, Greg I was thinking the same thing. That's a lot of juice for a place that only has 40 gallons of hot water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mgbinspect Posted January 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2011 It's very common here in Richmond (2x200 and 2x150). Why? I don't know. Cause they got money in them there parts. Ezra Malernee Canton, Ohio Richmond is back on the top ten list of places to do business. When I moved here, it was due to a fellow sales rep that said, Mike, when Washington's got pneumonia, Richmond's only got a cold." That, has proved to be true. I won't leave here until I'm done trying to make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
