I read it as meaning req'd force draft, not natural.
The picture I looked at of the OP's surely looked to me as tho the draft hood was there; only that it wasn't yet hooked up.

Running gas line to HW heater

I know no other name for it that a draft hood. Where did the forced draft drift into the picture?
Yes, that's right.

I live fairly close to the OP and our Town allows a homeowner to do their own plumbing work if they take a Town test and pass it. We are not allowed to work on gas lines or electrical. Both of these are ignored on a daily basis, as is the requirement for getting a permit and having inspections.
ROk here is the finished product. Just got this bad boy hooked up today.

Yes, there was no draft hood on the existing HW heater. I don't know why they did it like that, but this is why I refuse to have anyone do work in my house. I replaced the flue going into the chimney as it was rusted and corroded. I even added an extra shut-off valve on the HW outlet just for convenience.
I took a nice hot shower, had my pasta dinner that my wife made with sausage and meatballs, and now I'm having a glass of wine and getting ready for the Jets/Pittsburgh game.

If everyone pulled a permit and got inspections, Home Depot would be out of business and there would not be enough inspectors to go around.
You make those sound like bad things.

If your wife can make pasta out of sausage and meatballs, she's a keeper. ;)

What tipped you off? The wine or the singular wife?
