For newer inspectors

Interesting. I just looked at the install manual for my BW water heater (2 years old) and it has no such language. I guess I'll have to look into this a bit more to determine if I need to change my reporting.

To be continued. . .

Read ...it is in there BW has required them for years. When I run across BW and the manual is at the unit, as it should be, I always find it, underline it and put the page number in the report. I always like it when the installation manual says MUST be installed, kinda stops some people in their tracks (plumbers, handymen, contractors, sellers, builders, etc) Same with all the other manufacturers.

The city of Corona requires one be put on the main gas line to the house or building!

Here is a unit that falls into the category of recalled furnaces. . .

Oh, and there is no drip leg

Unless I missed someone else mentioning this...is that galvanized pipe being used for the gas supply line???

I still see the horizontals in service... I'm not running into as many of the recalled ones anymore, once in awhile.

Seems that when I find the recalled furnaces, the home usually has Polaris ABS or one of the affected brands. Kind of a double whammy.
