As a home owner/ DIYer I love these videos while there is so many KZfaq videos out there it's great to know what your local permit requirements are.

Great Information... QUESTION PLEASE: I just bought a new Rheem Short Tank Gas Water Heater (30 gallon, 30,000 BTU) and it has no legs like the the one we're replacing in the unfinished basement. Do non-leg water heaters need to be elevated slightly off the floor or can they directly go on a concrete floor? Thanks and well done video w/great information.... Thanks. Phil

I live in colorado springs and am replacing my 50 gallon water heater with another 50 gallon can I install a sediment trap on the gas line even tho its not required and do you need an expansion tank in elpaso county if so what are the requirements for installing one? Also where can I go to see all the requirements to make sure I bring everything up to code?

Hello Landon, thanks for reaching out. Yes an expansion tank is required if there is a PRV, Backflow preventer or check valve on the water service. See handout on our website for more information on water heater replacements. www.pprbd.org/File/Resources/Downloads/ResidentialHandout/Water%20heater%20installation%20ACCESS.pdf If you are going to modify the gas line to add a sediment trap then a mechanical permit will also be required. Hope this helps.

Great video... I was considering buying a 2 year old water heater that a homeowner replaced with a tankless. Problem is ... the removed heater he wants to sell me does not have a "Rating Plate" on the front. He does not know why. Would this be flagged during an inspection? Any idea why it would be missing? Thanks
@PPRBD Жыл бұрын
We do look for the rating plate, but if for some reason its missing there are other ways to verify the listing like the model number and the water heater manual. You might ask for the manual to be included.

Would a gas water heater on the floor without stilts pass inspection?
@PPRBD 3 ай бұрын
Hey Kameron, thanks for reaching out. Not sure what you mean by "Stilts" Your best bet is to email me at gregd@pprbd.org. I'll get you set up with one of our plumbing inspectors to help.

Is a drip leg on the gas line not required?
@PPRBD 11 ай бұрын
Hi Mark. No the drip leg is not required here in our jurisdiction. The drip leg requirement has been deleted by our local PPRBD amendments. Hope that helps.
