I took Friday off because I had worked over 40 hours before lunch on Thursday and got some work done on the water heater. I got a lot of the plumbing done until I naturally ran out of clamps.
I also found out too late that this was all the CSST I had left. It wasn't enough.
I unfortunately slipped when I was putting one of the clamps on, and the tee leaked. This is the only leak in all the plumbing that I did so far.
Today, after yet another Home Depot run, I replaced the line going to the tee.
The water heater is now all plumbed up except for the emergency release. It looks like a clusterfuck because everything came out of the floor the opposite way it goes into the water heater, and I didn't have a lot of space. There was a minor leak on the cold inlet valve which just needed a little additional tightening.
The remote is installed. The directions didn't say how to wire it up, so hopefully I figured it out correctly.
Another design flaw in my tiny home: because I ended up using black iron to do the leg up to the top of the pressure tank, the valve is now blocking the bottom outlet. D'oh!
I ran another pressure test on the gas work done and it all checked out good. 45 minutes and 0 pressure drop.
The only thing missing is the vent work. I will need to borrow a ladder to do it, I can't really set the step ladder in the muck out side to do it.
