Ok, I finally received one heater and installed it, still waiting for the second one.
I tried the BrassCraft black braided flex connectors but found their threads very flimsy as they strip with minimal force.
I ended up using corrugated copper connectors, a hex nipple, a threaded valve and a compression fitting.
Still need to connect the discharge tube and insulate the pipes.
My only regret is not having replaced the gas pipe valve and union.
No leaks in either water or gas pipes and the flue pulls well.
Should I keep an eye for the leaks from the numerous connections I made or will they hold since there were no leaks to begin with?
Any comments/feedback on the install?
Thanks to everyone for their input.
Here's before and after shots.
