I’m replacing my water heater, but the new one has a larger footprint.
This necessitates moving supply lines around.
I’m curious how much affect adding two 90* elbows, and 2 feet of pipe would harm gas flow? I’ve been reading about gas pipe calculations, but it doesn’t specify how elbows affect flow (if at all).
This tank is also 50k Btu vs the 40k I replaced.
The main reason to add the elbows and nipples is to extend the supply over, while avoiding a drain pipe from a toilet above.
