Re: Is this proper
As it is, it needs a support, but it also needs to face up, you don't want a head pressure of water to be against the thermal expansion tank all the time.

If that were installed directly off the top of the tee, and the supply had gone into the side of the tee, that would be fine.

Even if the supply went horizontal, if well supported, that could be straight up off a tee into the horizontal cold supply line.

But that one? That one is just trying to break the tee off, and it's only a matter of time before it succeeds.

The vent is a fan assisted vent. I've seen a few, but not many.
