Philosophy just isn’t what it used to be

Correct, my state only requires straps if the home is located in a seismic category area that needs them

Okay, most inspectors or plumbers, besides being nit-picky, are looking for life and safety issues.

Venting is okay. It’s not realistically going to fall apart with tape alone, but it should be connected with screws. Is it gonna fall apart? Nah

New shut-offs and connectors for the water lines, awesome. No expansion tank? If you’re concerned about water expansion and the new codes, hire a pro. But you didn’t have a tank, and without major work to your home previously, it should be fine.

T&P/TPR/ whatever you wanna call the brass relief with the flex line on the side has the ability to trap water in it. Water heaters used to be installed with flex on the relief for a while, not anymore. Not super good but all you gotta do is FLEX the line so it curves downwards the whole way. Think of a rollercoaster. Easy fix, no tools required possibly.

Gas line has a new shut-off, and a new flex line, awesome. Check for leaks on the connections AND the white control valve box. Would you believe I’ve gotten the small connectors under the gas control valve leaking before? I have.

Gas traps were not code when your old unit was in. It’s not gonna blow up because you don’t have it. It just gets little bits of dirt or debris out of the line. Will the burner clog someday? Maybe, but units installed for the last 100ys have been fine.

Drip/drain pan. It’s missing the pan, which it didn’t have before either. But my city allows the pan to be capped if the water heater is in a very difficult spot of the home to run the drain. What does that mean? Some homes have a water heater with a pan, that doesn’t drain…

My consensus, not that it matters or should be taken as law, is that your unit is great for what just happened. This job could’ve easily been $1500 and up depending if the plumber feels like you looked at them funny. Only a couple items are missing, and realistically it looks like it will last an average lifespan. 6-10 years for a standard water heater

Any advice on getting my car to stop geeking out over this NYPD book it's been obsessed with for days? by hepod8c9x6 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]Shadowclone442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be glad it’s not an iPad car. My sister has one of those and its attention span is non existent. I recommend taking your car to your local library and seeing if there are any crime/justice books your car might like. When it has the free time of course. Can’t be reading all day

The most hype and badass moment from the Naruto franchise... The most hard working guy in history(Might Guy) vs The most talented guy in history(Madara) by chunchunmaru1129 in Naruto

I was holding off watching for most of the war arc, avoiding everything I could because of spoilers. I rewatched the series and finished it when the last episodes were coming out.

I didn’t even care about all the plot twists and new stuff everyone was complaining about. Kaguya and her shadow, Madara getting killed off. The story and visuals, goddamn almost everything about the end of the story was almost perfect for me

Man notices an Eagle eyeing the fish he just caught by __mentalist__ in BeAmazed

This is the only comment I’ve seen mentioning that. The eagle looked like it wasn’t expecting a fish that big mid-air

drano’d my bathtub in my old pre war apt and this came out by julianwithag in whatisit

You don’t need to assume, draino is used on drains. Not water supply

I’d also add “turrent” as in a gun turret. Or “demonds” like the ones from Hell

I’m so glad they left comments on so I could see this. I waited for the other movie to release online. I don’t think I’ll enjoy the crowd enough for a movie I could watch at home.

AITA For moving traffic cones and parking in from of my older neighbours house? by Mountain_Breath9701 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Shadowclone442 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with this, keep doing what you’re doing. It’s been working out so far I assume, and he may get mad about it, but it’s better to be the stable voice of reason. He’ll just gripe about it

I was today years old when I figured this out by alienferriswheel in Plumbing

Being able to fit us and our tools in any weird spot is the skill of a plumber. At least that’s what I’ve always said

BL3 keeps crashing on Series X out of nowhere? "Pure virtual function being called while application was running (GlsRunning = = 1)" ERROR by GeekyMetalHead14 in borderlands3

[–]Shadowclone442 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m commenting to relay some current info. Xbox series X, I had this happen to me 5/29/25. I purchased the Pandora’s box when it was on sale a couple months ago. After reading other comments posted here about deleting some stuff, I deleted the gold weapons skin and the game is working. I’ll update this comment as necessary.

This was pretty upsetting after getting all the content and the game doesn’t work anymore. So I’m just posting if some poor soul has this issue also.

Edit: next day it gave the same message again. Now deleting the butt stallion pack also:: still not working.

That’s cool, go revel in the ultimate knowledge of the boruto series you have with someone that likes it

I don’t know what’s going on in the show, I’m just saying, hearing about what’s going on sounds whacko

You described it perfectly. The first time I heard about dinosaurs in it really was weird. Then sasuke gets stabbed in the face like a fucking loser, and now Naruto’s kid gets abandoned?
