We do not install or Service AO Smith water heaters. The tanks built in the early 80’s were probably the best tanks ever made. Today with manufacturing in Mexico there are a few things we don’t like. Lacking a solid pan underneath the tank makes uneven surfaces a challenge. By leveling the water heater you bypass the air intake filter.
A new PRV was installed, new 4" vent, new furnace vent, and expansion tank all installed.

This brings the water pressure in the house up to 130 when the tank is heating water. In this environment a thermal expansion tank is recommended.
Also installed new shutoff valves and replaced the saddle valve.

The Pressure Reducing Valve was replaced and the water pressure was set to 75 psi. An expansion tank is not technically required in Leawood, but this neighborhood had a water pressure of 100 psi. Meaning that without a thermal expansion tank your water pressure would rise to 100 psi when the tank heats up. The expansion tank is a buffer to absorb the additional pressure that is created from the increase in water temperature.
