Most homes in the Glenbrook area have a single water heater tucked away in a closet, quietly doing its job until the day it gives out. This property needed something different—a stacked dual-tank configuration delivering 75 gallons of hot water capacity to meet the demands of a larger household. The dual-unit setup demands precision in venting, gas delivery, and seismic safety since both tanks must function as a coordinated system. We removed the aging equipment and installed two new atmospheric vent tanks with proper earthquake strapping on each unit so they'd stay secure during any seismic activity. New stainless steel supply lines went in next, along with a thermal expansion tank to protect against pressure buildup. Both tanks connected to the existing pan drain with a new catch pan underneath. Fresh gas flex lines with sediment traps and shutoff valves completed the fuel delivery system. After testing both units for proper operation, the homeowner now enjoys reliable hot water backed by an 8-year tank warranty.
