Denray Posted March 5, 2015 Author Report Posted March 5, 2015 Check out that discharge pipe lower down on the wh. Corroded big time. I figer it's from a steel clamp nearby doing the electrolysis thing. Thanks Erby for the reply.

Denray Posted March 6, 2015 Author Report Posted March 6, 2015 It's in the first pic. No leak at that time.
mlparham Posted March 6, 2015 Report Posted March 6, 2015 I have never seen a water heater plumbed that way. The gas line needs a drip leg.
esch19 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Posted May 7, 2015 That corrosion is why after the pipes cool off from plumbing it, you wipe them with a wet rag to clean off excess flux.
