Not much of anything. Drip legs were quite common in the past, and many cities and engineers still specifiy their use. They are intended to capture any condensed water that may have been transported in the gas. If you don't have a drip leg, I'd not worry about it. I was flagged for this in the Borough of Magnolia in NJ and had to install one to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy. You can call the township you live in to see if it is required.
What else can I help you with?
What makes your hot water smell?
A common cause of smelly hot water is a build-up of bacteria in the water heater. This can lead to a rotten egg or sulfur-like smell. Flushing the water heater and cleaning the tank can help address this issue.
Where is the water pressure regulator that is controlling head pressure be installed?
The water pressure regulator controlling the head pressure is typically installed near the main water supply line. It is usually placed after the main shut off valve and before branching off to different fixtures in the house. This ensures a consistent and regulated water pressure throughout the plumbing system.
What part of a plants root takes in water and nutrients?
The parts of roots that take up nutrients in a plant are known as fibrous roots. In a tree for example, these are found near the surface of the ground and extend to the 'drip line' of the tree (the area where water drips to from the leaves). You can see fibrous roots if you dig down around six inches, particularly towards the end of the drip line.
Why is your hot water pressure low but your cold water pressure is fine after installing new water hetar?
Your cold water comes directly from the main line without hitting resistance. Your hot water travels through your water heater which may decrease the pressure. Is this a new problem or has it always been like this? If it is a new problem you may be getting build-up in the lines near the water heater or even in the water heater. Hot water also tends to have more deposits in the piping. If you have galvanized piping, you could have a lot of corrosion in the pipes. Hot water heaters do get scaling build up. It might be worth having it checked out, a broken hot water heater can be pretty messy! The answer may differ according to where you live. In the UK the cold water comes from the main which is kept at a moderately high pressure, for example by a water tower. Any leaks are then "outwards" with less chance of inward contamination. The hot water in a house is generally provided from a tank in the house attic, which auto-refills when water is drawn off, stoppnig when full by a floating arm which cuts off the supply to it. This tank at relatively low height provides lower pressure water to the house boiler.
How do you calculate whether a half-inch gas line to a water heater will also support a 50000 BTU gas cooktop in a kitchen 12 feet away?
To calculate whether a half-inch gas line can support both the water heater and gas cooktop, you'll need to consider the total BTU load of both appliances. In this case, a 50,000 BTU cooktop and the BTU rating of the water heater. You may need to consult a professional to ensure the gas line can provide the necessary gas flow for both appliances while maintaining safe operating conditions.
Can you still use a water heater and furnace if there is no drip line?
If you mean drip leg, yes you can. Some local codes still want a drip leg installed.
Which item is installed on the hot water heater outlet pipe to allow a point for quick disconnect?
A braided 3/4" stainless steel hose can be installed on cold and hot water line for a quicker disconnect.
How can I effectively repair a drip line using a coupling?
To effectively repair a drip line using a coupling, follow these steps: Cut the damaged section of the drip line using scissors or a knife. Insert the coupling into both ends of the cut drip line. Secure the coupling by twisting it onto the drip line ends. Test the repair by turning on the water and checking for leaks.
Does the main water line go to the water heater first in a typical plumbing system?
No, in a typical plumbing system, the main water line does not go to the water heater first. The main water line usually goes directly to the faucets and fixtures in the house, and a separate line connects to the water heater to supply it with water.
How can I fix a hole in a drip line?
To fix a hole in a drip line, you can use a drip line repair kit or cut out the damaged section and splice in a new piece of drip line using connectors. Make sure to turn off the water supply before making the repair and test the system afterwards to ensure it is working properly.
Can a block heater be installed in a 2000 Mazda Protege?
I had one installed on the 99 model at a shop. this is the same run line, 99-03.

Is the water still leaking? If so was the original line disconnected?
Can you add holes to a drip line for better irrigation efficiency?
Yes, you can add holes to a drip line to improve irrigation efficiency by allowing water to directly reach the roots of plants.
What is the minimum should be on the drip leg installed on the gas supply line?
Drip cup should be 2 and 1/2 times the pipe being served. Check local Gas Code bylaws for proper information.
How do I shut off the water to the water heater?
To shut off the water to the water heater, locate the shut-off valve on the cold water supply line leading to the heater. Turn the valve clockwise to close it and stop the flow of water to the heater.
How do I turn off my water heater?
To turn off your water heater, locate the shut-off valve on the cold water supply line leading to the heater. Turn the valve clockwise to shut off the water flow to the heater.
How do you turn off your water heater?
