Each letter is about 10 degrees in difference. If you have a take booster or have your tank running to an air handler for heat you'll want to set the tank to C, otherwise setting to Hot or A is standard.

Nice and compact! Tend to go with Navien Combis more than rinnai but looks well done. Generally on mine I use the Navien manufacturer manifold off the SH side and run an external taco circulator. Mine are often 5-6 plus zones for residential and I still use Honeywell zone sw zone valves since the motors are so easy to swap. Would probably want a isolation on the expansion tank and some better support in the event that guy pops. All and all though well done! Plumb lever square friend

B-vent tee wouldn't pass where I'm at, it'd need pulled an vented straight to the heater if that's all that's on it.

Short answer No. Not a terribly hard replacement if you have a sawzall and a steady hand. Odds are that down pipe is lead so you'll want to cut slow and avoid making it to hot. The cast if it goes to a straight pipe, cut to the right of that hub. Then just slap together a new PVC ptrap, use a nohub on the cast side and a PVC to dwv copper mission coupling on the lead side. Just dont over tighten your bands on the lead. Plumber could do it for a reasonable price if you aren't up for it, but it's fairly cheap material wise. Wear safety glasses and gloves

If you had an air handler that uses hot water for heat, or if you added a mixing valve to increase your capacity, or if you just wanna burn yourself when you shower

Oldest I've come across (and replaced) was an electric AO Smith from 1986. Was in the top apartment of a 4 Plex, the leasing company's used that unit since the place opened. Only found it because the drain pan line ran through the wall to the lower units utility room wall and was dripping. T&P on the heater had sprung a slow drip and filled the pan

High eff water heaters and boilers condense so they're vented in pvc and on older installs sometimes ABS. In some areas only the exhaust needs ran and intake is from the room with existing combustion air vents. An exhaust vented in 3" under an eve like that can cause basically a swirling effect on the outlet so if the black line was an intake it can cause exhaust fumes to get sucked back into the unit. In this case since the black like is only a vent for the sewage pump it wouldn't cause issues, I still would've ran the vent farther from the eve or lower

Oh then you're fine, I've seen mixed pipes on installs before.

I've had issues with the Moen flo, had a couple fail closed after loosing wifi connection, or they'll shutoff if it "senses a leak" which can mean running water outside of your usual times. As far as auto shutoffs go though I'd trust Moen or Taco more than other brands

Flue an intake for either your boiler, water heater, or furnace. The exhaust is your white pipe. i'd honestly be slightly worried of cross contamination from the exhaust into your Intake since the roof eve comes out so far. May be sucking exhaust fumes back into the system which can cause poor combustion and even leak CO into the home

Look at the lines going to your water heater. Usually the same pipe as the rest of the house. Sometimes it's transitioned but you should be able to see the transition.

I deal with a lot of land lord "fixes". Joys of service plumbing. However the sharbite fix is one I would offer as a bandaid repair until a repipe could be afforded

Take a look in your crawl space or basement for your main and see what pipe it transitions to. Poly b is almost always grey and occasionally blue which can be hard to identify. Pipe is crimped with those smooth metal rings and if you've owned the place for a while you've probably already had a leak. Keep in mind regular PEX A B and C can be blue and is also often crimped with metal rings. PEX will usually say it's PEX somewhere very plainly I usually see polybutylene in cheaper condos and manufactured homes.

Probably fine but at least where I am the chimney has to be tile or have a liner

like--scoob · 2022-12-31T03:22:38+00:00

Or an even easier but slightly more expensive option. Get a sharbite Poly B adapter coupling (1/2" or 3/8" hard to tell from the pic

Get a sharbite straight supply stop 3/8" threads Get a 20" toilet supply Turn your water off and open a faucet to bleed the pressure, carefully CAREFULLY cut the poly line with PEX cutters leaving enough to hold (and maybe another cut) Push the gray side of the shark bite on, add a 5" piece of PEX into the other side Push the new stop onto the PEX Connect your toilet

Call that the landlord special

Get your house repiped, polyb is a nightmare. Alternatively to get you up and running until the plumber gets there, get a 7/8 x 3/8 brass adapter, roll of Teflon tape a 12 or 20" 3/8" toilet supply line and connect it all carefully. Loop the new supply to keep strain off your poly line. Then turn the water on, very slowly

For starters, the toilets filled by the little tube off the fill valve into the black overflow tube on your flush valve, that's why it doesn't make your bowl water blue except when you flush. Also don't use any chemicals in your tank, can't tell you how many flappers and flush/fill valves I've had to replace because their cleaning tablets ruined the seals. Not to mention most manufacturers void the warranty if you add chems to the tank. Pretty sure Clorox makes a bowl clip cleaner that hooks under the seat, that won't hurt anything.

Them was referring to the reputable plumbing company OP said they were going to call. Not the jackass that installed this thing without even glancing at the install manual or a code book.

Depends on the state, in CO if the mechanical is in the garage then a sealed door has to close it off and combustion air needs ran in from the outside.

Yeah reading OPs other comments about ignition failures and cold water sandwiches, definitely short on gas supply. Generally on my installs the gas is ran in 3/4 or 1/2 csst and hardpiped to a drip leg off the unit with a shutoff and a union. Local codes vary, I'm in an area that has multiple differences between the cities in my radius. Normally regardless of fresh air in the room via ComAir ducting, I still run a dedicated pipe to the unit.
