Poor guy is looking for advice and this is how you treat him? Not cool at all.

I do love you guys!! I think I'm gonna change my user name to "hire a plumber"!!

Too damn funny! So I hope you all have been doing well and no major things have happened around here (anyone die???). As for me, I had about 2 weeks of no work so I remodled my house...well half of it...almost and now I have 15K in billing I don't even have the time or energy to send out. Booked through the next two months with no one particular job taking more than a week max.

I trust my good buddy Ron has been keeping you monsters in line and grumpy is still as sharply whitted as usual!!

Anyhow, glad to see the plumbing forum is alive and kicking, I've actually missed some of you guys!

Anyhow, proceed as filed!

He needs between 6-8 GPM for his two-story 4 bedroom home and to achieve that output we need a 3/4 inch gas supply. That wouldn’t be a problem I’d just run a new line but the existing HW heater is in his attic, it would take me a week just to run the line.

So, he and I thought why not put the new tankless heater in his crawl space, it’s about 5 feet in places. The gas meter is about 20 feet away so running a ¾ inch line is a breeze and just tie into the existing hot water line in at his kitchen sink. Then cap off his existing HW heater and gas supply in the attic. The hot water supply would essentially be reversing its flow. Anyone see any issues with this??

Thanks.
