Other than this being an uncommon way to plumb a washer, is this method of coming off the water heater to supply the washer noncompliant? I did note the reduced TPR pipe as a safety issue.

How is the water getting into the water heater???

The cold input to the water heater is "feeding" the washer. The hot output is "feeding" the washer. How is the water getting into the water heater to feed the washer?

The cold water feed is on the right side of the heater, it comes up from behind the heater. The picture will help explain it better. This plumbing is all retrofit, none of it is inside a wall. The picture also shows that the valve on the right leaks.

Yes, it's noncompliant with thoughtful and effective practice.

What a maroon......the guy worked harder making it a clusterxxxx than it would have been to do it correctly.

3/8 flexible copper to 3/4 galvanized steel to brass hose bib.

Probably some volumn problems with the 3/8 flexible copper supply. Probably some galvanization issues between the copper and the galvanized.
