Speaking of inspectors...has anyone ever heard of
an EPA regulation or guideline that relates to foam pipe insulation near
household water heaters? Specifically, how close to a blanket wrapped tank
gas water heater can a foam pipe insulation come to the top of the heater?
Are they thinking of fire danger? This is run of the mill hardware
store bought stuff, not particularly thick, for 1/2 in. pipe, not up
against the exhaust flue.
I've always thought that most of the standby loses
from a tank occur in the first few feet near the heater...so...
Thanks,
Steve
