Here's one for the defect photo album...
This was one issue among many at this water heater. There was still a gas company red tag hanging on the water heater form 2000 saying it should not be used until properly installed.

Re: Here's one for the defect photo album...
Yeah, I know... too picky.

I guess the lack of a water shut-off valve and equipment bond wasn't important enough for the DIY'er to install either.

Aside from the venting, I like the crushed copper flex coming off the hot. Nice touch.

Bob, that's not a crushed copper flex line. That's a pressure reducing valve.

Re: Here's one for the defect photo album...
Yeah, pressure reducer! I couldn't remeber the name for that kind of valve!

Not pictured:

No drain pipe at TPR vlave
No pan w/drain (heater sitting in dead center of house)
Combustible clearance issues in attic
Combustion air was limited
