About this detail

A water heater is mounted on a four-inch concrete housekeeping pad and anchored with two-inch by fourteen-gauge sheet metal straps secured by five-sixteenth-inch diameter lag screw anchors with one-and-one-quarter-inch embedment. Cold water supply, hot water supply, and hot water recirculation lines connect through unions, shut-off valves, and check valves, with a thermometer and expansion tank installed per manufacturer recommendations. A vacuum relief valve connects to the top, and natural gas is supplied through a shut-off cock. A condensate drain line routes to the nearest floor drain with a one-inch air gap per code, while concentric PVC venting handles intake and exhaust.
