My 12 year old 40 gal powervent water heater is acting up so I feel it's time for a replacement. I was taking a look at it and noticed there is a gas regulator installed right before it goes into the water heater. I've never seen this before. Is there a reason for this? Will I need to install another regulator (or use this same one) when installing the new water heater?
I also noticed there is a separate regulator going into the furnace as well. I guess I've always seen just one regulator coming off the gas meter and that's it. Is there a reason to put an individual regular at each separate appliance?
Thanks.
