So the water heater thread makes me ask this... I need to replace our water heater, as its leaking a bit under the tank. It was apparently made in '91, so hey, whatever. Its currently mounted 'fixed

It depends A LOT on where you live! In California, it is absolutely required, and the water heater has to be braced. In New Jersey, HD, etc. sell the flexible pipes, but every water heater I have see

This is exactly what I did when I replaced my hot water heater about 12 years ago. I cut the hard copper lines and installed threaded fittings on the "stubs". I then added a ball valve to each line,

Tim, I like the idea of the ball valves. I'll have to do that to my hot water heater next time I have it replaced. I had a solar hot water add on years ago. All it did was cost me money, and take up

Tim, True, but then you also have to go buy a new propane tourch, solid solder, and some acid flux. I still vote for the flex lines. John John T. Blair WA4OHZ email: jblair1948@cox.net Va. Beach, Va

When you have a valve that leaks a little so you keep getting water dribbling down into the joint you're trying to solder, take some white bread and smush it up into the line to plug it, then solder
