Installed a new 40 gal Hot water heater today. The brand is Richmond (propane fired). My question is should the inlet (cold pipe) feel warm? I can wrap my hand on it and leave it there so it's not hot but definately warm. Never paid attn to the old one so I don't know if this is normal or not?
 
probably, there will be some expansion as the heater comes up to temp. wait a few days and check again. remember it ran a lot longer from cold to hot than it will likely ever run again. good luck.
 
Did you use the anti-siphon valves that came with it. My new GE has them and both pipes are cold after it sets awhile.
 
wait for it......every time someone posts about a hot water heater. similar post shows up....if you didn"t post it, I"d have to! LOL TU!
