| Re: water heater installed right? I don't see the fact that the solder dripped down indicating the job was done in a sloppy or unworkmanlike manner. Now if the copper were kinked or they made a 3" hole through the ceiling for a 1/2" pipe it would be a different matter. Solder sometimes dribbles and even drips (the solder on the top of the tank should be easy enough to clean up).
I'm not a plumber but I don't think the aluminum tape would be a fire hazard. It certainly would help prevent minor vent leaks. Perhaps one of our plumbers will chime in on this issue. |
