I recently moved into a 5 year old house. It has a water heater in the garage servicing the kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Another water heater is in the attic servicing
the other 2 bathrooms (I would guess for quick hot water in the showers). The pipes coming from the water heater in the
attic sometimes have a minor rattle noise. The pipes travel 5 feet down the side of the heater, 4 feet horizontally in the
attic and 10 feet down between the walls into the concrete foundation. I have noticed that there are no clamps securing
the piping in the attic. I cant tell in the walls. Is this normal not to secure the pipes? Is it to allow them freedom
to move for expansion (hot water flowing in clod pipe)? Can I put some copper clamps on to secure the pipe and keep it
from rattling? Looking for any ideas or options from you all. thanks..
