FWIW, tankless heaters are awesome. I can have all bathrooms being showered in at the same time and never run out of hot water. Saves energy too.The heater is leaking out of theView attachment 134747View attachment 134750 hot outlet from inside the tank. I will have to drain it and take it all apart and bring it back. Never even got the electric hooked up. Damn
I am old, simplest thing to do is replace, there are only two of us here, we don't use much hot water, I replaced an 80 gallon tank from 1984 rated at 557 dollars a year in 84 money with a new 40 gallon tank., it will outlast me. Shoulda, coulda, woulda, If I were younger and had longer to go I would have considered other options. Good advice for the younger folk though.FWIW, tankless heaters are awesome.

I had a talk with R2
This was his reply.
Yep -agree that PVC is never a good choice even for the cold inlet - and a downright no-no for hot outlet. CPVC - which is what it looks like he's got for the hot outlet - is ok in terms of its rating... but still not a great choice due to it's breakability. For me (and any city code anywhere around here) - copper only for cold-in and hot-out - and CPVC for pressure relief line. And pipe that pressure relief line to an approved drain.Whoever plumbed that in has no business plumbing.
NEVER thread metal male ends into female plastic threads. Always plastic female into male metal.
I'm pretty sure that's a design "feature".
Can anyone here explain to my how a row of Christmas lights can die just by sitting in a box in the basement for 11 months? They were working last January and now I have 2 strands that are half dead! ARGH!
