Oxnard, CA Water Heater Permits, Installation Codes and Regulations
Expansion Tank
An expansion tank helps dissipate pressure resulting from thermal expansion to prevent water heater and plumbing damage. The city of Oxnard requires water heater plumbers to install an expansion tank if a check valve, backflow preventer, or any other gadget obstructs pressure dissipation. Physical support is required for all expansion tanks.
Installation Location
You can install a direct vent gas/propane water heater in a bedroom or bathroom closet only if the closet has a gasket or self-closing door.
PTR Valve
Oxnard plumbing codes require a pressure/temperature relief(PTR) valve to be installed together with the expansion tank. The valve shuts off when water temperature surpasses 210 degrees Fahrenheit or when pressure exceeds 150 PSI. The installer should connect the PTR valve to the discharge valve to prevent accidental scalds.
Water Shut-Off Valve
Installing a shut-off valve to the heater’s cold pipe enables you to turn off the water supply to your heater. That means heater repair and maintenance will not interfere with the main water supply to your home.
Water Pressure Regulator
The city requires you to install a pressure regulator on the mainline if water pressure reaching your home exceeds 80 PSI.
Proper Venting
To prevent carbon monoxide leaks and accidents, Oxnard Plumbing Code stipulates proper ventilation for combustion water heaters. Have a technician install an approved venting system with the correct size and height. Learn more about water heater venting.
Earthquake Straps
California Plumbing Code requires homeowners and plumbing contractors to secure water heaters with heavy-duty straps to prevent falling and horizontal displacements during earthquakes.
DIY Plumbing and Water Heater Repair Tips for Oxnard, CA
You do not have to feel helpless when your water heater acts up. Below are ways to fix common Oxnard water heater issues:
No Hot Water
First, ensure your heater has power. The cause could be a blown a fuse or tripped circuit breaker. In this case, you only need to reset the breaker or replace the fuse.
Not Enough Hot Water
Have you noticed a sudden substantial loss in hot water? If so, check for a faulty thermostat or leaks around the unit. If adjusting the thermostat or fixing leaks does not resolve the problem, try flushing your water heater.
Rusty Brown Water
If your hot water is rusty brown, it could indicate the presence of sediments in your water heater tank. Flushing your tank should fix the discoloring.
Smelly Hot Water
If only the cold water smells or both hot and cold water smell, that’s nothing to do with the heater. Ensure only the hot water smells by running the respective faucet for about three minutes. If the smell persists, consider flushing your tank.
A less common culprit is a combination of magnesium rod and water softer in the water heater. The reaction between soft water and magnesium produces smelly sulfate gas. Replacing the magnesium rod with a zinc or aluminum node could eliminate the problem.
Water is Too Hot
If the water is too hot, set the thermostat to a lower temperature. Should the water feel boiling after a few hours, have an experienced Oxnard plumbing contractor check for faulty parts in your unit.
