My Water Heater Burst, So I Replaced It

Here I’m working at my house for a change replacing our 25 year old water heater. It burst open and started to leak, enjoy!

I like the ball valve trick to drain the tank! Happy plumbing!

That was really good. You’re obviously a plumber. I didn’t know you could drill into the tank like that.

Try out the propress dielectric unions, it'll help prevent galvanic corrosion. Nice work! The knipex pliers are the best👌

What is that tool, like a crimper ? no soldering ?

How come you used white pipe in some places? You're the man

I though you can only transfer from copper to either pex or pvc after 18 inches for the pressure relief valve
