Because they are both in parallel with each other, and because the inlet and outlet aren't mirror copies of each other with the supply and hot outlets in the middle that one you replaced will get most of the run time on it, as water will take the path of least resistance, therefore it will use the unit on the right. I have fought many series or parallel water heater units. Some jurisdictions don't allow one way or the other. 🤠👍
Just wondering, why not take the piping up and across so that each heater doesn't interfere with the other, then you could eliminate all the unions for the most part? Great job by the way. 🤠👍
I'm betting that that old pipe wrench you are using at 19:28 belonged to your father or maybe grandfather. I am 74 years old and have one similar that belonged to my dad's dad😂
Hey as a plumbing company . All the replacement old parts you take out like this huge water heater , all the brass and copper etc .. do you scrap it as a company ?!? I can imagine easy you could get $10,000 in a year of saving up the stuff you remove
I had a service call to a restaurant that had a leak near the water heater. It turned out that the nipples and caps supplied with the heater developed a hole in the cap. At first I thought it was a leak in the heater itself. There was a shelf next to the heater and I had to move product off the shelves to see the leak. Not surprising since it was black iron. I replaced both nipples and caps with brass ones. Of course the pin hole had to be in the bottom tapping. Had to drain most of the 75 gallons. Neat installation
Good work but dude stop working like you're in the stone ages. Get an automatic pipe cutter (Milwaukee has one for $130) and a hand truck. Invest in efficiency like you did with that pro press!
I want to personally thank you for cutting off that pony tail. You look so much better dude, honestly. Just trying to keep it real.

The way they piped it that one had no choice, but to die first it was doing all the work

Did you only hand tighten the new yellow gas line? Seen you tighten the pipes, but not it to the wall
Nice haircut!
Yet not a single combustion analysis done .
Did the owner consider a heat pump unit as a replacement for the propane unit?
