How To Replace Your Electric Hot Water Heater | Full Install DIY 

This is absolutely the Best Hot Water Heater Removal and installation Video I have watched... I'll be 66 Years old, and this Old Lady was scared to tackle this Dyi project until I watched this Video.... THANK YOU 👍👍👍❤️🦩✌️

installing a drip pan under the water heater would not be amiss.

Plastic drain valve is enough to leave it at the box store and buy one that has a brass valve.

You should have replaced that plastic drain valve on the new water heater with a brass one. YOUR OLD WATER HEATER HAD A BRASS ONE.

How old was it?

You have a valve on your cold water side you could shut off instead of killing your whole house. I would have added a valve to the hot side to just to be able to isolate water heater completely. You should also replace the expansion tank when you replace the water heater too. Just suggestions. Nice work.

You did great, my only suggestion would be not using cpvc for the water lines. Pex, copper, or even sharkbite stainless braided lines would work better long term, they withstand heat better

And your using the pipe wrench backward, flip it over & pull it towards you. That way, the teeth grip the fitting. My Dad was a pipe fitter

Thanks for the easy to follow DIY. The only thing I would have done was change that cheap drain valve before I installed the new water heater. Great tutorial.

You’re my kind of DIYer! Thorough and conscientious. This is one of the very best videos on installing an electric water heater on RU-vid; arguably the best. Thank you. The only comment I have to add is that it might be better to use a handsaw to cut the existing cpvc pipes. The cutter tool can create cracks in the older cpvc pipes. This is info from an older gentleman who is a Master Plumber who is very generous with sharing his expertise with me.

Most definitely the most detailed easy to understand video I have found on RU-vid.

Thank you for this video. I just replaced my water heater on my own for the first time today and your video was extremely paramount in assisting me with the process.
