Water heater removal

[Scott]

Hey Rob, seems like this is the year for replacing Hot water tanks.
(I know of 4 FC's doing this) Any way, you did not say if you had a
side bath or rear bath (I have a RB) In my situation the front of the
closet had to be removed and a new tank installed. I reoriented the
tank from facing the rear wall,(thanks BB..sheesh) so all the
controls could be accessed from the front. This req'd some flexible
hose. There was some coolant lost but not much. (less than a gallon
for sure) You will need to have some fittings/adapters before you
start. These are readily available at any hardware store. Crit Bliss
has a side bath and can give you some pointers regarding his install
at RIV.
Good Luck!
