What’s different in Coppell.
Expansion tank on every water heater
Coppell requires an expansion tank on all new and replacement water heaters, set to the home's water pressure, with a pressure certification form filed before inspection. If pressure is over 80 psi, you need a pressure reducing valve (PRV) on the main line.
Attic and garage rules
The old water heater must be taken out of the attic. In a garage, electric heaters and gas heaters that aren't sealed-combustion must sit at least 18 inches off the floor. If the pan drain can't reach an approved spot, the pan needs a hose bib and a leak alarm.
2026 electrical code
Coppell adopted the 2026 National Electrical Code, starting September 1, 2026.
