    Water heater 18" above floor

    Thank you . I do see some electric water heaters in garages on an 18" stand. I guess there is no need for one as you all have stated for an electric water heater.

    Water heater to code?

    Without a trap prime would the methane gas be explosive if it contacted the gas furnace? What if that was an electric heater, would you still need a trap primer? Also where in the UPC is a trap primer required ?

    Dielectiric unions

    Aren't dielectric unions required by code to be installed on this water heater ? The cold water and hot water copper lines under the houses slab foundation have had 3 leaks in the last several months.

    Hose bib height

    Thank you. This is Texas so not much snow. I did look in the plumbing code and did not find anything. The city did want the vacuum breaker installed but did not say it was a problem as far as the height,

    Hose bib height

    Is there a minimum height requirement for a hose bib to be above the ground? This bib is almost flush with the ground.
