Joe, Please explain "aggressive" code enforcement? Unreasonable interpretations and enforcement of rules that only exist in the mind of the inspector. Don

Besides the electrical issues, they haven't strapped the water heater to the structure.

Are we limited to electrical issues with this installation?
PEX water piping probably isn't allowed within the first 18" of water piping to/from the water heater. Lack of leak pan under the water heater. Is the TP relief valve piped outside the structure(or at least to a "safe" location)? The water heater doesn't appear to have flooring under the back edge of the base. Is there framing behind the heater to keep it from falling backwards?

My first thought was that the plumbing looks awful. I don't know much about the code for it but it wouldn't pass my inspection as a prospective homwowner. It took a second look to notice the 10 foot loop of romex powering the sucker. One of the things that really bothers me is its all stuff that could have EASILY been done much better. What do you think, another 1/2 hour on the whole job to have it the way it should be?

I am not a plumbing inspector but shouldn't there be a drip pan under the water heater? I think it is required when the water heater is on a second floor.

not to say that this installation is correct but, is it possible the wire was stapled up, and the plumbers took it down because it was "in the way"?
