Fits all
residential water heaters with 3/4-inch plumbing. Heaters of 75
gallons and greater usually have bigger plumbing.
This is
one of the places waterheaterrescue.com shines. We make curved
dip tubes ourselves, to fit your tank, and nobody else offers
them!

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!
