We don’t know who is right. Please help.
New furnace installed a year ago. Guys that did it were licensed. Permits. We made sure everything was done “right” as best we could.
We had some water hammering we couldn’t address. Same guys couldn’t narrow it down. House is old. Issue predated the new furnace as far as we know but it’s annoying.
We had another licensed plumber come out to give us a second opinion on the water hammering. He had some theories but nothing too different.
He did say our furnace was piped wrong for two reasons. The “T” should be an elbow joint, not straight up, and the copper pipes are wrong because they connect to black iron. Said it’s not to manufacturing specs. It’s a “no no”.
All the steam pipes are original and black iron. Says it’s not a safety risk but will cause the furnace to fail much faster.
We don’t know who’s right on this and if we should find a new plumber or what. We are new to all this. Any opinions are appreciated.
Photo of copper included. “T” circled.
