You are the first Content Creator that I have seen installing a water heater that did everything point on. I even got some tips I will use the next time I install a water heater. Most videos I've seen should be taken off TH-cam and the creator should be fined by the AHJ for code violations. I mostly watch these video for entertainment only. Every once in awhile I see one where I can use one little thing to help me install a heater faster or easier. But this video could be used as a training video for new plumbers to learn the correct way to install a water heater. Thank you for the very accurate and informative video. I am going to check out your channel for any other video I can learn from. Have a great day. P.S. I just subscribed to your channel.
Thank you for sharing your video on how to install a new water heater. Helped me out a lot!!! I was quoted for a new water heater installation and services for $2360. Other quotes almost the same amount. I bought a new water heater at home depot for $701 with discount and did it myself because of your video. Saved tons of money. God bless you!
Nice video. I have replaced a few water heaters in my day. However, I never realized that a salt water softener could have been the reason for these tanks failing.
Instead of using WD-40 to lubricate the fastener on the water lines, I use food-grade silicon grease. It serves the same purpose but won't contaminate the potable water system.
Why bring the tps pipe out onto floor instead of just discharging into drip pan, then to floor? Will an inspector make the customer extend the drain pan PVC pipe to the exterior of the garage, instead of discharging on garage floor?
No Teflon tape on supply line on either the copper to flex or the dielectric WH nipples to flex? I saw you add Teflon to the dielectric nipples before on another video, I thought? I know the rubber washer acts as the seal, but the Teflon and tft paste will last longer than the rubber washer as a back up, yes?

Well done! Very professional and detailed in your description!
Not just like but love this! No BS like stupid music and shenanigans. By far the best video on this install.
Thanks!
Covered the whole gambit plus some great tips. Saved for when I will need it!
Nice video. I have replaced a few water heaters in my day. However, I never realized that a salt water softener could have been the reason for these tanks failing.
Since installing a new water heater, I would also install an expansion tank as well.
Excellent. Thank you!
Great demonstration and good job, the only thing I recommend is to debarring any cut of copper pipe before sweating together.
Great video!! Nice and thorough job! Not sure if i missed it, but Is this in California?
Love the accent 😊
Instead of using WD-40 to lubricate the fastener on the water lines, I use food-grade silicon grease. It serves the same purpose but won't contaminate the potable water system.
Like olive oil?
Very good video thank you
Dennis, you ar truly a GREAT plumber. Where were you when I was living in Irvine?
Im confused.. disconnect pressure valve, turn on hot water in house and disconnect hot water out?
For replacement purposes is fine ,remember to add a expansion tank suck is very important,even was not installed previously,
Nice job
Job well done 👍👍
Nice video
Why bring the tps pipe out onto floor instead of just discharging into drip pan, then to floor?
Will an inspector make the customer extend the drain pan PVC pipe to the exterior of the garage, instead of discharging on garage floor?
Dennis where can we contact you for installation?
How water is getting cold& overflow
How much
No Teflon tape on supply line on either the copper to flex or the dielectric WH nipples to flex?
I saw you add Teflon to the dielectric nipples before on another video, I thought?
I know the rubber washer acts as the seal, but the Teflon and tft paste will last longer than the rubber washer as a back up, yes?
Water is getting cold and overflows how can I fix that?
Hello sir
