Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. It is 12:00 am and the water heater just blew, and I am a woman and don't want to pay someone big money after I pay big money for the water heater. Also, it gave me good insight as to what to take care of before I go to bed - gas off, etc. Thanks Felton
A great help. Thank you. You covered many if not all very important points and you explain very well. I am fixing on replacing a water heater that is date stamped 4/79.
Great vid! For all those ppl that complained, they are just sorry they didn't make it...It helped me to understand while READING THE MANUAL...thanks again.
If you close your eyes and just listen to certain points, you can actually hear Bill Murray shinning through. Nice job on the information, I'm just about to replace mine and wanted to see how tough it is. The good thing, it doesn't seem all that bad. Thanks for the vid.
almost everthing about this video is wrong sorry but that sh1t would not pass a plumbing inspection, and when u remove and replace a water heater u are always supposed to bring it up to current code no matter what , and yea replacing a water heater isnt hard work but can be very dangerous if not don properly like in this video
Nothing about this was done wrong. Did you actually watch the video? I was changing the stand, not the water heater. The water heater was changed by Sears two weeks before I got there to change the stand. The client decides what he wants to fix. In this case it was the stand. 7500 views cant be all that bad.
@Felton209 dont sweat it man. there will always be haters, and trolls. i found this to be useful. I am trying to replace my moms water heater for the first time...i will have help, but I would rather learn how to do it than pay someone else to do it. I want to be that handy type of husband, rather than the one that sits and cant do anything.
@Felton209 I dont know where you guys are from but in NY Code requires a drip leg to prevent any foreign particles like cutting oil, metal filings, etc. from entering the gas valve. It should be installed upstream of the valve, I know your not replacing it but if i was doing the job/taking it out and replacing the stand I wouldn't toutch it b/c its not to code, thats your license and buisness and when something happens there going to say,"well who was the last person to touch it" good luck
@plumber8484 Fuck off, dont act like you need a damn rocket degree to do some house work. Its simple tech certificate work. Seriously people can learn to be a basic plumber in 2-3 days. These videos offer good examples. Stop bitching because people arent giving you any work, go back to school and get a real degree you fag. Damn laborers think too much of themselves now. Your in the same category as the guy that cuts my hair. Actually he might have been in tech school longer than you.
The video is titled "Raplacing Gas Water Heater" but he did all of the hard work off camera. Any idiot can figure out how to light the pilot using the instructions provided. I wanted to see how he sweated the pipes back on, etc. and connected all the fittings. So for me, it was worthless. Oh well.
None of the work was completed off camera. What would be the point of that?You dont need to sweat pipes to replace a water heater. Its done with mechanical connections. FYI, their is no hard work involed in replacing the water heater.
This installation does not meet code requirements doe to the fact that the discharge pipe for the T&P valve is higher than the T&P valve. The discharge pipe must always slope down from the safety valve to keep water from sitting up against the valve spring and seat.
Watch the entire video. I didnt replace the water heater. I removed it and placed it back exactly as it was installed. I replaced the stand that was under it that was rotten. Sears replaced the water heater and never replaced the rotten stand. Yes, you are correct that the TP valve should should be higher and since we are going over it, its against code to use a flexible line on the relief side in the city where I live due to the fact that it can be kinked and rendered useless.
Thank you so much!!!! you are really a professional.

I think that code in my area requires that the pressure relief valve be soldered on. Mine is soldered on.
