mlparham Posted March 5, 2015 Report Share Posted March 5, 2015 Nope Click to Enlarge 179.46 KB That picture was not in your original post. Unless you see a leak it looks like a rookie using to much flux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlparham Posted March 6, 2015 Report Share Posted March 6, 2015 I have never seen a water heater plumbed that way. The gas line needs a drip leg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esch19 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 That corrosion is why after the pipes cool off from plumbing it, you wipe them with a wet rag to clean off excess flux. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
