The 50 gallon AO Smith GCR 50 400 was a bit of a downgrade from the 75 gallon tank but it made more sense to go with the 50. The 75 gallon would not have fit through the door.

New AO Smith water heater installed without thermal expansion tank, Lenexa does not require thermal expansion tanks on water heater replacements. Since the old tank lasted 18 years the owner opted not to install a thermal expansion tank on the new unit due to the maintenance that a thermal expansion tank requires.
