RE: Flooded SOB
That’s a very strange break. Did you unscrew the nuts to the right (in the picture) of the star washers? It’s just a pass through fitting for the Aquahot.
If you haven’t already, turn off the breaker to your water heater! It may be too late already. I can’t remember if the element is in fresh water or coolant. If it’s in fresh, it’s probably now bad.
You should be able to unscrew the pipes from the fittings and just replace the fittings. You shouldn’t have to go to Aquahot for them. At least Roger Berke, Rudy Leggett or John Carillo (A-H service folks) should have them, but McMaster-Carr should also have them.
I’d take a really close look at tension on those fittings from the pipes to the left (in the picture). Those fittings should never have broken.
