What
Does It Do?
|
- It controls sediment buildup that can harm the tank bottom,
bury lower electric elements and burn them out, and that makes
noise.
- The dip tube and drain assembly control sediment buildup by
forcing water and sediment to swirl around the bottom of the tank
and out.
- The ball valve has a relatively large-diameter opening and
a straight path, which make it harder for big sediment chunks
to clog it, and easier to clear it if they do.
- The cap keeps the unwary from flooding the water heater space
by accidentally opening the ball valve.
- The sticker will help you remember when you installed the parts.

Important:
Before You Order
|
|
Measure
your water heater from the top to the drain valve and send the
measurement to us at mail@waterheaterrescue.com. There are
a few tanks that are shorter than average that require a shorter
curved dip tube.
If you're
getting a maximum-insulation tank, as we recommend, tell us so
that we can include a 4-inch drain valve nipple.
If you
have any doubts about what you're ordering, be sure and e-mail
your questions to us. We want you to order only what you need!
