Thanks for the video man, I let mine run water through it a few days ago, like the yearly thing or whatever to make sure it works, well it didnt want to stop dripping water, tried to mess with it, then woke up this morning to water in my basement…hooray.
But thanks again man…just saved me having to calll a plumber and get reamed
Your right. Thanks for the input dmiller531. Cool
Check to make sure the burner is off. The release the valve. Have one person do this and turn on every hot water faucet you can think of…..this will make the water heater drain faster. Make sure the cold suply is all the way off.
@TexasHomeInspector ok thanks i’ll try that,
@deviousMonk Turn the water off to the water heater, turn the power off (gas or electric), open the valve on the t&p, then open a hot water faucet that is inside the house, maybe let the water heater cool down for a few minutes also.
Releasing pressure from the tank (?) Is that by turning turning temp all the way down, and shutting cold water feed?
water leaking from ‘over flow pipe’ at the bottom of the tank. Does that mean I need to replace my p&t valve? help!
That’s sounds like a cool job. I would love to see how the build water heaters.
Thanks for checking out my video. Have a great day.
imagine installing five of these a min. Where I work we build water heaters…………. I have done this soooooooooo many times.
“vavle”
Just replaced mine, easy as pie. Nothing a homeowner couldn’t do if they tried and knew what they were doing, (I have some experience in plumbing though)
Yes I check all that in this case that was not the problem. This is a close system.
t@ps dont leak for no reason did you check incoming water pressure and install exspansion tank per manufactor just lost extra money in your pocket ,you replaced thepart that was bad but didnt fix the reason it was leaking
Yes your right. We didn’t get that part of the video. This is just a sample, but we will work on that. It’s very important. Thanks!
You should make eveyone aware how important it is to release the pressure from the tank before removing the t&p valve. With pressure in the tank the valve will shoot out like a bullet after unscrewing from the tank.
Sorry couldn’t help you with this one. Sounds like it’s time to replace the hot water heater. Good luck with that and thanks for stoping by.
got the sob fixed. still should put on a die electric union but my pipe are so old what would be the point. the house I just bought built in 1906 scary. could be lots of head aches Now I need to get this old furnace running missing thermastat and maybe needs rewired
I have a valve thats all corroded and fused by rust I have tryed to get it off with a cresent wrence but it started caving in so I gave up and decided that when it goes it goes. I tryed heating the sides up with a propane torch but can’t get it to budge any tips or secrets how to unseize this Damn thing
how big is your cylinder feeding the shower, also is your hot feed to the shower feed through a tempering valve or is it direct feed from the cylinder?.
Very helpful. Thanks! I would not have undertaken this without the video but now I know it is pretty easy. In my case, it turned out that the pressure reduction valve was actually bad. I had 155 pounds of pressure coming in! I bought a new PRV at Home Depot for $31 and replaced that too. It’s fine now.
Glad I could help. Thanks for stoping by.
And have a great day.
Thank you for this video. Helped me to replace my licking valve. Gave me some “Girl Power”. )
And my son learned as well.
The dip tub inside the water heater has broken off. The dip tub is on the cold side of the hot water heater. it takes the cold water strait to the bottom of the water heater so that it does not mix with the hot water at the top of the tank. when the dip tub breaks off it alows the could to start mixing with the hot water right away giving you less hot water.
what about if my hot water runs out real fast like 5 min showers,what would that be?
nice job — another contractor
