Why water is generally heated from the bottom?
Warm anything, air or water will rise. Cold water is put at the bottom of the tank through a tube inside the tank. The water is heated and rises and is taken out of the top. The inside of the heater is open, it is just a hollow tube. That is why the hot water gets slowly colder, more cold water is being mixed with the hot in the tank.

How do you hook -up a gas hot water heater?
residential? commercial? new ? replacement? if its a new water heater in a new home then the easiest way is to buy copper flex's and a gas flex and make sure you have low pressure gas at your gas stop like around 10 to 14" water column. Make sure you have a cold shut off on your cold water line before you hook up to the water heater and in some states they require a expansion tank. One good rule of thumb is if you have a check valve somewhere around your water meter or if on a well by your pressure tank then its a good idea to put a expansion tank.

Why is hot water coming out on cold side on an water heater?
This could be caused by a faulty mixing valve in the water heater, which is allowing hot water to mix with the cold water supply. It could also be due to a crossover in the plumbing system, where hot and cold water lines are connected. Both of these issues can be diagnosed and repaired by a plumber.

Do gas water heaters drip water after you lite the pilot light?
Yes, gas water heaters often drip after they are put into service after a prolonged shut-down, but it is not because of the pilot light. When the main burner ignites below a tank of cold water, the moisture contained in the gas flame will condense on the outside of the tank bottom and the flue that passes through the center of the tank. Once the water is hot, the water heater should stop dripping and the moisture below the water heater should evaporate. Continued dripping may indicate a leak and the water heater may need to be repaired or more likely replaced if it is older--more than five to seven years old.
