Hello,
I was looking at a home for my wife and I to purchase and came upon this issue with the venting of the gas fueled water heater. The water heater has a draft hood connected to galvanized pipe that goes up 4" then bends at 45degs and is connected with a galvanized threaded fitting into a clean out in the cast iron main plumbing vent pipe. Can anyone help on this one? Thanks, |

You have got to be kidding, they actually connected the flue to the stack vent. I thought I had seen everything. That is a no no. Might as well use the drain lines for conduit.
