I haven't done a hybrid water heater. I know they're available in my area. Apparently, the advantage of a hybrid is getting the efficiency of a tankless water heater without the "sandwich" and...

I did a "hot water heater" job for someone.....they kept using the same terminology.....I tried not to twitch every time I heard it.

I had a no heat service call this Friday evening after a new customer of mine had described the same problem as what was discussed in this topic. Upon arrival, I said my hello's and took a look at a...

This is a fantastic shot....what prompted you to pull out your snake?:p

Great pic...thanks. It would be a hard sell on water marks and corrosion alone to a home owner. Do you have any additional information? Flame? Drainage? Rollouts? It would be great to get a pic...

You make it sound like you joined the mob....hehe

Thanks for the info

So how's the committee doing on my application.....:couch:

Am I a pro? Is there something I'm missing?

Hey mod....where's the love? Make me a pro member already:gah:

Altitude will make a difference on a hotspot. The code where I live [4.22.1] in Ontario references CSA/CGA 2.17 and states "...it shall be adjusted to the high-altitude rating shown on the nameplate...

Where is the failure on the heat exchanger? What's your altitude?

Hi....my name is Darren and am a Gas Fitter 1/OBT 1 in my location here in Barrie. It would be nice to be accepted as a pro member considering my experience. I have 17 years experience [to date]...

Here's one I was working on yesterday and thought about this thread.....

Excellent advice by everyone here. There is a wealth of knowledge to be gained at this forum.

Rather than tell you [Hace] what you should do, you will probably go ahead and follow your gut in...

...or ground to the fuel source in someone's hand....good times :)

Here's a chart that you might find to be useful :p

I haven't seen a manual that offers a horizontal tee as an option. Wind & snow might be some concern there but don't know for sure.

I've seen some Lennox models with a ventilation size reducing...

Good stuff. Did you retrieve the old restriction plate (orifice)?

I can only guess at the model# but they do have a 95% 100,000 BTUH unit that is approved for 2" which is a bit of a surprise. Boosting the size to 3" will reduce the air velocity in that section and...

The chimney issue needs to be straightened out for sure.....its good that you're on it.

Some burners are not approved for use with certain boilers. In this case, I don't see the Riello approved...

Your Welcome.



The temperature at the T&P is an important measurement so you can compare the tank setting at the [control] near the bottom to the actual temperature by the T&P near the top of...

I didn't realize it was hammering while ON...it makes a difference.

Someone mentioned it already but I don't recall an answer. Did you verify if the inlet/outlet was correct? What's the...

:oops: I'm still learning this site.

I read through all of it for a reason. I was thinking the same thing as everyone else.....things like: What kind of electrician doesn't ground properly or own a meter? A meter was the first thing...

I just finished reading all 19 pages of this thread and my head feels lighter.

The water hammer issue is expansion as you have described. When a faucet is open, the pressure goes down - close the faucet, the pressure goes up (sorry for sounding like Dr. Phil). Something has...
