Wow, there is actually a pan under the tank. And… holy crap, it’s wired to a disconnect and not just a dryer cord plug!


I guess Houston is a few steps ahead of SA. ![icon_cool.gif](upload://oPnLkqdJc33Dyf2uA3TQwRkfhwd.gif)

I don't know about Houston but here the TPR drain usually terminates on the exterior of the house. San Antonio allows CPVC to be used for TPR drain lines, even though the valve manufacturer doesn't.

Its a heat trap…


Looks much better to install preformed traps than to use all those elbows. Unusual to see them since a lot of electric water heaters come with heat trap nipples these days. However a heat trap loop does not restrict the water flow near as bad as the heat trap nipples.
