I currently have a 40 gallon Richmond power vent water heater. I am planning on replacing it with a 50 gallon power vent water heater. The existing heater has a pvc transition that connects to water heater and then 4" galvanized duct up about 24" and connect to a B vent elbow and the runs about 15' to an elbow and turns out the wall to a vent termination outside.
My question is that the new water heater has a connection for a 2" pvc pipe. Do I just install in the same manner and put in a 4"x2" pvc reducer to connect the pvc to the galvanized duct up to the B vent?
I have attached a picture of the existing water heater vent connection.
