    The T&P vent doesn't look like it's 6" off the floor to me, more like 2".

    Well.........when there was a floor under it.

    LOL. We actually did that with my moms furnace when we had to pour a floor under it. Had it sitting on 2 x 4's which were sitting on five gallon buckets. Looked bad, but the furnace doesn't weigh much and we just had to pour a pad for a new base. We did take pictures, but not sure where they are.

    I think it's overkill. Surely the PVC venting would suspend it adequately. *eye roll*

    Oy.

    What they said. If the pvc vent failed the water and gas lines would pick up the slack.
