This was an exact replacement for the old one that lasted about 10 years. kzitem.infoUgkx7yWIKcrbA9KMHkGSfcgxW2lsjHT6B8Sh The top of my mitigation tube by my roofline was just a 90 elbow which allowed too much debris to fall down into the fan, eventually ruining it. Without this issue, I bet it would have kept running another 10 years. When I replaced this fan, I added an extra elbow joint so the top tube now it does a 180, which should solve that problem. The radon guys around here wanted to charge me a $300 diagnostic fee, then parts/labor (probably close to $600 total). I installed this all by myself in about an hour for the cost of the fan; it would probably be even easier/faster with two people. FYI the manufacturer's warranty greatly differs depending on whether you install it yourself (1 yr warranty) or have a licensed installer do it (10 yrs).

How about the exhaust pipes? No mention on that.

The proper plumbing kit for flushing the scale build up out of the heat exchanger is not shown or even discussed in this video. It all seems professional except for that one major oversight.

All that beautiful work, love the safety gear, but what about escutcheons? They would clean up the bad drywall around the pipe through the wall.

2 gas shut off valves that close to each other are not needed. That check valve shown better be a spring loaded check valve, because if it's a typical swing check valve it's not installed correctly. Swing check valves can only be installed horizontally not vertically. Only problem I see so far is the lack of a shut off valve on the hot side. Reason being you won't have to shut down the whole building water supply if you have one shut off valve on each line. It also helps to do service or swap the unit out easier and quicker, no need to pull the TPR in order to drain the system or open up faucets and turn the whole building water supply off.

I have never seen a check valve on an installation like that. Also, it is a swing check and will always be open.

I thought a flexible gas line is not permissible. It must be hard piped, right?

Depends on the local utility. NFG code allows a properly sized flexible connector. Still need a sediment trap, however.

Plumbers charge way too much to install these or water heaters - on a $329 electric water heater they want to charge $1700 to replace it.
