water heater glop
4 year old 40 gallon Bradford White water heater.
What's with the yellow glop?

Re: water heater glop
I would think foam insulation used to insulate the tank.

It's a bradford white, it has issues by its very existence. Tell the client to throw it in the alley.

Re: water heater glop
I cant tell from my view of the pic, but is that fitting a T&P valve? If so, where is the "blow-off" pipe?
I dont think that that water heater has ever had exterior insulation.

Re: water heater glop
The injection of the foam insulative sleeve has leaked out when it was injected.
No big deal, just poor quality control before it was sent out to market.

Re: water heater glop
Sorry about that comment ref the insulation. I had another type of insulated W/H in mind, a type that has foam insulation on the exterior skin. Careless of me - due to rushing.
