Does the tank have to be installed vertical? My water heater has the tank installed vertical is this wrong?

Will that tank help with water hammer too?

Im confused.. disconnect pressure valve, turn on hot water in house and disconnect hot water out?

Well done! Very professional and detailed in your description!

Thank you for the explanations. I see that is a Rheem water heater. What model? Shutting off the water to the house completely might not work. You might have to bleed the line by opening a faucet in a bathroom or kitchen as well. I will have to measure to see if I have space to add an expansion tank for my water heater. And I will have to see about getting something to tether the water heater to the wall so it can't fall over. Right now it just stays upright on its own. For people who have trouble threading the expansion tank on without crossthreading-- try turning it backwards first until it clicks in place. Then turn it the correct way to tighten.

Going to add an expansion tank to my water heater with my dad this weekend thanks

How do I know what psi my house is?

Great video. Have Navien fixed the leaking heat exchanger now or you still hear complains from customers about the leak again for units built recently?

Thank you so much dude. I like how you used rigid pipe so you don't have to mount it to anything.

On the bottom of your thermal expansion tank, I would add a ball valve just in case your thermal expansion tank goes out and the customer cannot get a plumber right away to replace it, and still have hot water.

Awesome! Thanks👏

What do you charge to do this????

Thank you very much, very helpful video.

Here's a technicality joke. Tell people "I don't have a hot water heater, I have a cold water heater".

82psi!!....gotta a little bomb there bud!

We have a Bradford White. It lasted 4 years and blew out. This sucks. Would never buy one again.

is he installing it upside down

Hahaha..my pressure is too LOW. ALWAYS. Although my municiple plumbers said back to me when I informed them of the chronic LOW pressure…..said, You MUST have a pressure regulator….

Dennis where can we contact you for installation?

Hmm, can I use a file instead of the customers drive to dull out the nipple instead?

thanks for the instructions! I just installed the rsc199in, but it's heating the water. Temp default to 120f. Power is fine, water flow is good, and gas flow is good. All looks good except the water is not heating. Any ideas?

The problem with this installation is it is against the code. The tank is not allowed to be supported by the pipe it is connected to. You must support the tank properly. (IPC 308.10)

Great explanation, thank you!

The plumber installed mine horizontal.

Thank you so much! You helped me more than you know!

how can someone order an heater exchanger??

Outstanding video. Everything was explained so well.

Can I repair my exchanger? Is there a sealant can be applied inside or is replacing the only option? Thanks

Great video! I learned a lot!

Thank you for making this video. Really appreciate the information.

how old was the unit? that you have to replace the heat exchanger

great video. Thanks

Is it safe to test the pressure and adjust the pressure while the expansion tank is already installed it already exists in the home I just bought. I just want to make sure it was done properly or do I need to shut down the entire system and uninstall it to check the pressure and adjust if needed?

Nice video. I might have missed this. Is this the correct orientation for the expansion tank; connect it on the bottom and the air intake on top? The reason I am confused, when looking at the picture for the link of the tank below, it looks like the right side up shows the tank is the opposite by the label on the tank. Common sense would give me the answer, but I guess I have none and was wondering if the label is wrong-side up.

Thank you for sharing your video on how to install a new water heater. Helped me out a lot!!! I was quoted for a new water heater installation and services for $2360. Other quotes almost the same amount. I bought a new water heater at home depot for $701 with discount and did it myself because of your video. Saved tons of money. God bless you!

Thanks much excellent video

Thanks!

pipe dope on teflon i dont get it

Good video. I especially like how you said you don't need to empty the entire tank as I was looking to avoid that.

Great commentary and the part about smoothing the pipe end. WOW. I would never have thought of that. Thanks Dennis!

tank is installed up side down

I bought and installed one expansion tank at home depot, the specifications indicated that the manufacturer recommended to strap the E.T. hanged, to the ceiling I guess, Is it really recommended to strap it to the ceiling?

thanks for the video, I was looking into installing an expansion tank mostly because when I close a faucet I hear the pipis banging. Sadly my water heater is installed directly soldered to copper pipes, no flexible. I will need to hire a plumber to put a T in there, or may be I can install it somewhere else.

For replacement purposes is fine ,remember to add a expansion tank suck is very important,even was not installed previously,

Thanks for your help,, 😊

Very good video thank you

🙏Thanks for sharing. Do you ever bleed the vessel side before tightening?

Awesome job, man. Thank you for the video

This is one of the very best videos (and clear explanation) of a job most plumbers would say you need a professional. If someone has basic to intermediate skills, this video should encourage a homeowner to DIY this project. Thanks!

" By law " 😮 there's no law to install or not install the expansion tank , it is the customer choice . You may have to edit what you said... We have a water heater thats been in the house for over 25 years ,nothing wrong with it , thanks God
