    I've got some insulation done and a little more vent done. I need a 2 foot section then turn to go up and out. I used R19 because I will still need access to that part of the attic and the garage will only be heated when in use. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/09x82j

    Cause of corrosion in hot water heater pipes?

    looks like condensation or a leak coming in from the exhaust vent. Either way I would be looking into replacing it.

    Here is a crappy Google image of my house and here i was planning on having the vent come out. Does it look like there would be any problems with anything? I need to run the vent approx 8 feet on an angle up about 8 feet towards the ridge. [/IMG]

    I cant seem to find out how the fire stop is properly installed. Do you cut out the drywall the full size or just the diameter plus the 1 inch air space. And what is up and what is down. American Metal Products 3 in. Firestop Support...

    I installed the proper Utah sediment trap and installed my thermostat. I also pulled it out from the wall from 18 inches to 23 inches. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/X9586V

    After doing some reading, I will be adding the correct sediment trap up on top near the heater shut off valve. Parts are only 10 dollars.

    I believe, you only need it for vertical pipe. Which I do have, it's in the pic with the drywall and concrete. You can see its slightly wet from the leak detector stuff. You can see it in these pics. https://www.flickr.com/photos/42048178@N04/shares/od60WX
