submit photos and a story for their "new old house" let me know. It's
kind of fun to learn about other people's "new old houses."

They used CPVC for the gas line to the water heater. IIRC, CPVC is not
rated for gas, and I'm pretty sure the valve is not. You really want
to check on that before you have a gas leak etc.. Normally black iron
pipe or yellow flex is used.
Also, the picture isn't that good to see detail but the galvanized
piece that comes out of the right side up toward the top, that should
be a T/P relief valve, is it?
If not that's as dangerous as the wrong gas line material. There is
supposed to be a water line from the T/P valve (I don't see one, just
the galvanized pipe with something black on the end?) with plumbing
down toward the floor or to the outside so that hot water can exit the
tank to relieve pressure/temperature build up in case of emergency
where the water is heated too hot or the pressure exceeds the limit.
Otherwise the water heater tank explodes.
You need to check both for code compilance and proper material and a T/
P valve.

The cpvc is actually a return line plumbed into the drain cock port. The
gas line hasn't been run yet.
here's a larger view.

I agree with Gary, there needs to be a T&P valve on the tank that
is piped to the floor. I'm not sure which room you are in or
which code your jurisdiction uses, but I suspect the hot water
tank needs to be on an pedestal that gets the flame over 18" off
the floor.
