What do I do with a short water heater?
My water heater is just over an inch to short for me to connect my flue. I couldn't find a type B vent that was 2 inches in length, so I ended up propping it up on some 2x4's to make it reach. However, I'm guessing that's not the correct way to go about fixing this issue. What should I do instead?
Oh yeah, as a side note, since there aren't any member forums to ask this question, how do I go about changing my password?

As a matter of practice I always raise my water heaters on bricks. Just to give it a little bit of air flow underneaths and prevent rusting or problems if I get a little bit of flooding. It's also a great place for nuts and bolts and tools to roll under just as you need them.
