[QUOTE="Golden_Child, post: 2531547, member: 864272"] Ok, so my fiance and I installed a new water heater and now everytime it kicks on the venting system has a funny smell coming from it. It's not a gas smell, to me it smells like my hot glue gun when it is heating up. We did the test with a candle to make sure no gases were spilling out due to a hood not being installed correctly. What could it be? Thanks! WOW! Thank-you all so much for your help! I didn't think anyone would answer. The venting pipe gets real hot...is that not safe? We didn't replace the venting system...just the water heater. Is this ok? [/QUOTE]
