Have a 50 gal water heater in the basement. Wanted to make some plumbing adjustments prior to the water heater but there is no shut off valve besides the main inlet.
Main inlet > water heater > rest of house
If I cut the cold water pipe just before the water heater will hot water flow out? Or will gravity keep the hot water down?
I am able to drain the upstairs water as there is a sink in the basement if that would relieve water pressure from pushing down.
