Question for plumbers/contractors about an install
I had our leaking 50 gallon water heater replaced by two 40 gallon heaters. Judging by these two pictures, is this installation acceptable?

While we're waiting, I have a question. Why did you replace a 50 gal with two 40 gals? Why not just replace it with another 50 gal? Were you needing more hot water capacity? If so, are you Catholic and have like 16 kids? Inquiring minds want to know.

How big is your house? 2 40 gal.? Why not just install a tankless system?

I have really hard water and didn't want to have to do the drain and flush all the time.

The piping is kind of a cluster****, if that's what you're asking.

Heh, you should see my GFs house. Copper pipe everywhere in the basement. She has radiant heat. She had the boiler replaced 7 yrs ago. New boiler and all the plumbing, $9000.

Good question. My GFs house has a boiler system and she has a hanging tank like that, but not near the water heater.

Looks like an expansion tank. It seems a little odd that it isn't supported, though. Then again, I'm not a plumber.

Yeah, that seems like a bad idea to have that just hanging there. I would think it probably should be supported somehow.

actually it is probably fine in this instance. If it was mounted horizontally it would need support. however the pipe to it should be supported.

That would make me nervous. I would work up something if it were me. Perhaps a little shelf hung from the rafter or something. Anything would be better. I mean, that thing fills with water, right? That tank would get pretty heavy and put a lot of stress on the pipe connections when full.
