[Shop-talk] Gas water heater vent: Is this correct?

[Carl Lindahl]

Yes that is normally how gas exhaust from water heaters are done. It is even
good to see insulation on what I would hope is the hot side. The local
plumbing code here states that for gas water heaters that insulation must be
6" away from the entrance to the water heater.
