Bonding and grounding? I don't understand. That sounds like electrical work. Drip leg? Yes, but you should already have one. Expansion tank? Yes if you have a check valve on the cold water input. But then you should already have one if you have check valve. Local codes may require such upgrades upon replacement. Check with local authorities. |
