Residential Instalation of Bradford White Water unit. Arrived on site, disconnected and drained existing 50 gallon tank, removed and disposed of unit. Installed new Bradford White 75 gallon, re-piped gas lien with full part valve. Installed new 1" hot/ cold water lines.
Both 3" valves to tank were already shut off. Began cutting on vertical line above 3'' x 3'' x 1" tee and also cut by in between the coupling and the flange. Removed both 3 x 3 x 1 tees and the 3" 90 degree. Installed 2 3 x 3 x 1 tees with 1 x 3/4 x 1/2 bushing and connected both lines along with 2-3" coupling and a 3" 90 degree.

Returned to the job site to televise the roof drain from inside the building to the outside manhole. Utilized a lift to cut out the existing leaking 6" roof drain connection and multiple fittings. Removed debris and prepared the area. Re-piped the main 6" PVC and fittings, installed a cleanout, and secured the pipe vertically with support hangers and bracing. Tested the system and cleaned the work area. It's now ready for use. Hydro jetted from the cleanout of the roof drain towards the side of the building's manhole. Flushed the fixture and conducted tests, which passed. It is ready for use.
