Hey this is obviously a do it yourself install, the bottom access door is upside down, no drip tee before gas control valve, flex line not to be used on this type of installation. Also where is the blow by tube from P& T valve? You cant see the vent but I'm guessing it is vented improperly. Who calls this Expert Village?

@andre68977 nahh depends where you live

[mancnproud09]

you should not use soapy water or washing up liquid as this corrodes the pipe. dont be an iddiot trying to do repairs yourself. if you smell gas turn the supply off and get your hand in your pocket and pay someone who is qualified to work on gas. what is better spending a few hundred £ or $ or blowing your house up? YOU DECIDE.

I wonder if every home is equipped with Gas Leak Technology which can detect any gas leak in the house not just the garage. Because sometimes you forget to turn off your oven in the kitchen leaving the gas to leak through-out the house.

i like to use a spray bottle with soapy water it saves time.. also check the main burner and pilot connections on the bottom of the water heater controls they leak out of the factory sometimes
