Tanner: Hello, everybody. Tanner champion plumbing here. Got Matt with us today. We’re doing a power vent replacement. We already got the tank out, but we have to bring some stuff to code. Manufacturer spec, can’t have ABS cellular core anymore.

Unfortunately, it runs straight through the wall, through finished ceiling, goes outside. So we were going to have to cut open the ceiling to get this new piping in.

All right, everybody. Back at it here with this new power rent install, 50 gallons. We’re in Shakopee, Minnesota today. And new heater, all new solid core PVC goes through the ceiling

I will walk you over there to show you what we did. So they did get kind of lucky. It runs through the closet here. So we’re able to do one hole right there and then one hole there, and it goes straight outside from there.
