Bob:

OK; you do an inspection and call out a water heater vent needs a straight section of pipe attached to the draft hood.

The seller then calls a licensed plumber who tells her, the inspector is wrong, It is not a code issue; manufactures RECOMMEND it be installed this way but it's not REQUIRED. She then calls her local AHJ who backs up the plumber.

Oh, by the way, here's my bill for a $175.00 service call.

Seller then calls you looking for $175.00 because you believe in the HI foke lore.

Hey; I'm all for calling ANYTHING out if it's wrong. However, I need back-up, (code requirements or manufactures REQUIREMENTS, not suggestions).
