yeah, you definitely want to use flexible lines. They make it much easier. Screw one end on, bend to fit and attach the other end. Easy.
Just take it easy, darn things are heavy. M----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Lindh" <chrislindh@xxxxxxxxx>

Mine was soldered directly with copper pipes, so I had to get creative with the flexible lines to make the 60 gallon fit where a 40 gallon was... and when a major appliance like the water heater fails it is DEFCON 5 at my house... -- Chris Lindh http://www.PartsForSpeed.com On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 8:33 PM, Ray Buck <rbuck@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
About the last thing I needed was the failure of my water heater. No sign of failure, just didn't have hot water one morning. It's a natural gas heater and has apparently rusted through. I did some web searching and I ended up buying one at Home Depot for just over $300. If I'd had it delivered and installed, it would have cost me almost $400 more. I picked it up in the Burb today and it's in the garage waiting to be installed. I had a real interesting bath today...I boiled some water on the stove, poured it into a tupperware container, added some cool water and washed up with that. Looks like I'm gonna get to do it again tomorrow cuz I'm takin it slow with the job. I just can't work as hard or long as I used to. Film at 11...somewhere.
