Plumber's crack?

[greatbear]

Okay, I admit to some OCD kicking in. I needed to make up a pipe for the temp & pressure relief valve that was inconveniently on the opposite side of the water heater from where it needed to go. No biggie. I made up the pipes and put them in place, and figured I would zip-tie the little condensation tubing alongside the pipes to hold the tubing in position. Well, the zip ties weren't cutting it. Too loose, and the tubing would shift and curl up. Too tight, and the ties would kink the vinyl tubing. I had some leftover pipe, so I removed the drain line and soldered some little collars made from the 1/2" pipe to the drain assembly, then slid the tubing in place.



Not a bad use of scraps and 20 minutes of time if I do say so myself.

I added more pics to the Flickr Photo Set page.
