Plumbing question
OK so this isn't a plumbing forum, but i'm posting in the lounge. This site has a great diversity of knowledge so i feel confident that i can find my answer here.
When plumbing in a hot water heater with PVC / CPVC: every time i put plastic directly to the heater, i have a leak. Can't tighten the fitting without cutting the pipe. I spent an hour on line looking, but couldn't find an answer.
I'm thinking that this time i'll use a steel nipple on the heater, and a coupling to the plastic pipe. This way if I need to tighten a fitting, it's possible.

Education is expensive. Keep that in mind, and you'll never be terribly upset when a project goes awry.

Good to have her home finally, still need to go back and give her another polish after messing with the engine stuff. Made it up to Idaho. Also a local show.
