I’m just impressed someone finally knows which is the right way to apply pressure with channellocks. BTW - i love all the armchair critics that sit around looking for stupid things to pick apart - like “tearing up a fitting” (cause teeth marks were left on it) that will probably be turned twice over the course of 30 years. Not to mention the guy CLEARLY stated this was a video guide to make something that might seem intimidating for a homeowner, look easier by using the most simple tools around... Given the choice of paying somebody hundreds to hook up 3 lines, and getting ripped off on the water heater itself, ill go out on a limb and say the homeowner will be happy someone showed them how easy this can be.

Thank you !! My son and I watched your video several times, made notes, bought what we needed and had 100% success for a couple of newbies. We use the Teflon tape, we checked for. gas leaks with soap ( no bubbles!) I finally got my hot shower after 2 weeks of cold ones. Thank you!!

You can leave the plastic sleeve in the Sharkbite when using copper. From the Sharkbite Installation manual "The PEX Stiffener is not required for use with CPVC and copper tubing, however these two types of tubing fit over the PEX Stiffener easily and hold it against the tube stop". So you can leave them in. Should have deburred the inside of the copper pipes where they were cut.

You said the cold water pipe is connected to an anode rod. Actually, the cold water is connected to a pipe that delivers the incoming water to the bottom of the tank so you don't disrupt the thermal stratification in the tank. The hot water rises to the top, and the cold water should always be at the bottom. The house draws from the top of the tank where the hot water is due to stratification. The sacrificial anode is usually another fitting on the top of the tank.

This man knows what he is doing. He is using the correct materials for this job. I use this method all the time and I never had a problem.
shark bites are tested and approved. Soldering is time consuming and cost a lot of money in labor. That is why there are shark bits pex fittings and crimp on.
Thank you sir for the video.

Hey Army, thanks for the simple to follow, basic instructions for replacing a gas hot water heater. Do some of the commenters have valid points? Absolutely, but I for one never rely solely on any one youtube video or google searched set of instructions to attempt a project I've never done before. I would say, learn from their informed points, but ignore the juvenile, condescending remarks which aren't helpful to anyone.

[NorthlanderMN]

This is the best video explaining the details. Excellent video!

[ericengstrom]

Craig, you are fantastic! Your video is the best instructional video I've ever watched on YouTube.Our hot water tank is shot, and it quit on a Saturday. We used Angie'slist to help find a Plumber; their prices were ridiculous. Your video helped immensely. Also, Thank you for your service to our country!

[Dprintyou]

One of the best videos on Youtube for doing a hot water heater. I love how you present theings and are very thorough and clear in your directions. Thank you very much for getting me through the change!

[jameskelly]

You have a gift for teaching my brother very thorough

[barryspindler]

Thanks for the clear audio, good visuals and overall high quality in this video.

[dinokarakostas]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have the same Bradford white tank and you saved my life with this video.

[andydavis]

The best video I have ever watched on YouTube - very complete in his descriptions and easily understood because he doesn't talk "above" the average homeowner. Thanks.

Did you consider using compression fittings instead of sharkbite? The compression fittings would be just as easy to put together, cheaper, and generally more reliable than sharkbite fittings, over the long run..

[daveuofm]

I thought when using the Teflon tape with gas lines had to be the yellow tape. Great video very helpful.

[alimaleki]

Not sure if you did this but you have to remove burrs from the copper tube you cut before you insert the SharkBite connector or you could damage rubber seal.

[huongyn]

Awesome!!! The best video on YouTube for natural gas water heater installation!! Could you tell what part number at Home Depot for the fitting without soldering ? Much appreciated for your sharing!

[sprogbog]

Did you take out a permit? A few mistakes to boot I am a licensed gas fitter the B vent your on about is actually C vent and looks like hell after you connected it. Yellow tape is for gas white is water and air only the white tape is permeable to Natural gas and will leak. Always always soap up your fittings after turning on the gas not sure where your nose was trained but its just standard practice to soap the fitting up a fitting may be cracked due to over tightening. You are required 18 inches of copper pipe connected to the tank the heat will affect the plastic pex piping. And I hope to hell you didn't use the old draft hood off the old tank. I was called out to a house a women and baby where being poisoned by carbon monoxide the plumber had installed the old draft hood on the new tank and the gas was not combusting properly inside the new tank and spilling into the house causing a major Hazard could of killed the occupants. Also you should have piped the relief line over the drain hole if it goes off it will cause a major flood. And I would never use those shark bites expensive and not necessary soldering a couple of couplings is easy.

Awesome video. Thanks for helping us all out. Dig the reggae too.

The anode rod on a Bradford White is part of the hot water outlet not the cold inlet. All other manufacturers use a separate bung hole for the anode only.
