We were called out today due to clients 7 yr old nat gas water heater leaking out in the basement. So, we replaced the failed water heater with new Rheem pro series 50 gal SHORT nat gas water heater. Old unit was a tall model, and the venting was not acceptable with how tight it was, so a short model was the only option. New unit was installed in a pan with a cap in it per code, and a new ball valve shutoff, new coated gas flex and gas shutoff, new properly supported thermal expansion tank per code, and all new vent pipe to the tie in point. Water was done in copper pipe and propress fittings. Got air out and turned unit on. No issues. 6 yr manufacturer warranty on tank 2 yr labor warranty
