From the B149.1-15,

QuoteClause 6.11.6 - An appliance shall be adequately supported and connected to the piping so that there is no undue strain on the connection.

I've worked with people who'll angle it all stupid and under a lot of strain to get it to work. It will look terrible like a 2 year old was left alone with the piping.

I now work in a place where everything needs to be done to perfection. I will make sure I'm well stocked will all sizes of nipples and elbows. I do it the best way possible without putting force or strain on anything.

Just have some common sense and pride in the work you do.

Agreed. My brother-in-law wired my house for me when it was built. He is a licensed industrial electrician. I labored for him and learned that the wiring part is pretty mindless. What's important is, the inspector wants it not only correct but neat! The neater the install, the less chance of failure.
