1) Code? You think I'm going to call in to have it inspected? Are you serious?

Are you serious? I did not ask if you were going to have it inspected. I asked if it was up to code.

2) Yes, $40, instead of $500+ for a new water heater. A 10' stick of 3/4" copper pipe was $21, plus another $20 in brass and copper fittings. Brass and copper ain't cheap. In the end, if I can get another few years out of it, well worth the money and time.

That is surprising to me. I haven't bought copper in over a decade now (I love PEX!), but I don't remember it being anywhere near that expensive.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Water-Heater-Dip-Tube-27003098 Tue, 13 Mar 2012 22:15:10 EDT
