What makes you think the booster pump will run if there is a fire? Alway figure the worst. Electricity is off or shorted out.

I use Bradford water heaters with the nipples already in the top of the tank. Mark, have you seen these?

Yeah but how do you know if there are any other "installation errors" farther away? You don't. Reroute above ground is the best answer.

So I pulled a permit for an electric water heater REPLACEMENT in a small southern NJ town... now he wants me to get an electrical permit too. Just to connect two wires. I told him no other town that I have pulled permits for ever wanted an electrical permit for a replacement electric water...

Yeah, I heard this same jargon in 7th grade about the metric system.

Ryan Do not use the gray paste on plastic. You can you Teflon paste on plastic though if you need to. Read the can for all the info.

That is the tool I use for PEX. Very easy to use and never had a leak because of a bad clamp.

I would like to know if any of you owners offer health benefits to your employees and or familes and if so, what percentage do you pay for? 50% 100%

You can order one from Lowes. It is called a 50 but really is 46.5 gallons. Lowes numbers: Item # 89263 Model # E2F50LD045V Look on their web site for more info.

No sense replacing it if you tested it by turning off the hot and cold. Somewhere there is mixing going on. Look for a mixing valve going to the toilets. Follow the lines as far as you can from the water heater output and make sure.

You might have an older Moen cartridge in lav sink somewhere that is bad and allowing it to mix hot with the cold. Find other Moen cartridge fixtures and turn the valves under it off. Then try the shower.

GRange insurance is a great insurance to look into I saved about 7 k per year a while back and it gave me the warm fuzzies......and tingely feelings all over my body Good info, but grange is not in NJ.
