Afternoon fellow inspectors! I wanted to know if I’m correct about the WH exhaust pipe. In the photo is the pipe incorrectly sloped, and there shouldn’t be screws on the pipe connecting point… right?
Nothing wrong with the slope and screws are acceptable unless prohibited by the connector or chimney manufacturer.
For the screw issue you are maybe thinking the dryer vent as that is not allowed to have screws that can trap lint.

Tape.
Tape on a draft flue is wrong, and won’t last.
And give that thing a good shake if you’re there, sometimes they’re not really attached.
