I am suspect of the tee connection above the tank as I believe CO can spill out. I have never seen one installed like this. Am I correct or is this OK.
The dirt leg is missing, because if it was installed correctly you wouldnt be able to open the filter door. Thanks for any input on the vent. Dave |

I believe you are correct David. The exhaust vent should slope up.

Sizing is incorrect also.
The main flue must be the size of the largest plus half of the second. P/T valve pipe not w/in 6" of floor. |

The Tee or wye is from the furnace. I did document the PT extension. I just didnt look right and I recommended that it would be corrected so it wouldnt backdraft. Dave |
