I should also add that the different sized tank was about $150 more than the one I went to get (out of stock), and lengthening connections raised the $. If you get the same size you have, it will be less $$. I'm sure if you can't do it, a neighbor has a few times.
New codes require the expansion tanks when on city water supply. When on well water (probably more rare for the city folk) the exiting well bladder tank acts as the expansion tank and is not needed.
For anyone needing a new water heater on 04/16/15 the government is implementing changes. This will mean mainly the physical size will increase to meet the new insulation requirements. The new water heaters will be 2”-3” larger in height and diameter. And no more tanks larger than 55 gallons can be made. I would also expect the price to go up as well. Basically if you think you will need one soon now is the time.

When our 50 gallon water heater crapped out, I replaced it with an 80 gallon heater, and moved it to better location in our basement.
WHY are >55 gallon heaters being banned?????? That's bovine scatology.

More "code" and more stuff people won't do.
Right or wrong, the powers that be deem storing more than 50 gallons of hot water and maintaining it at temperature consumes too much energy. Just like a car must produce less emissions every few years.
What is strange is to my knowledge there is not a 55 gal in existence. Or at least not in common production. It goes 50, 65 then 80 gal. So they are basically banning anything above 50 gallons. I suspect the industry will make a 55 gallon in the future, but that, like all this will cost the manufactures money in retooling. Unfortunately, that will be passed on to the consumer.

So the federal government is allowed to tell you what kind of hot water heater you can have based on it's carbon emissions.

I wonder...
If we smothered all the liberals, how much CO2 could we prevent from getting into the atmosphere?

Yep, peeps will just do what they most likely already do, spend more money and run parallel water heaters.

55 gal? instead of saying 50 or below and 60 or above.
banned? no, discontinued. above 55gal will be heat pump technology. $xpensive
The energy factor for a 40gal gas I looked at was .59 and next up was .62
a couple years ago.
1" xtra insulation was $165 more.
I bought a water heater blanket at Lowes for $22.

Funny how all the rich liberal muckety mucks go to Davos to discuss global warming and pollution yet the Gulfstreams were parked as far as the eye could see. Shame there are no commercial flights to Davos. It's like Al Gore telling me to what to drive and turn down my heat while he cavorts around in a fleet of large SUV's.
