| old water heater in place | | | | | pb hot water line, I don't think its every been off | |
| cold water inlinet has PB check valve | | | white check valve still seems to work though I won't be reusing | | | |
| | finally I can see the thermostat | | | | 4 bolts hold tank support in place, just removed 2 on the left side | |
| the clamp thingies that hold the pipe to the supports were very annoying to dislodge | | | | tank still supported by the blue metal support on the back | | | gross, and you won't believe the gunk that came out when I rinsed the tank out | |
| | original robert shaw thermostat | | | cut a hole at the X to access the bolt on the bank of the water heater tank | | |
| | thank god that worked, what a huge time saver | | | |
| | | |
| I can't believe the drain allowed any water to flow out at all | | | | |

| | | | yeah, this will work. Just need to route line behind toilet | |
| | out the back wall of the bathroom and tied into pex line | | | | needed a way to hold pipe securely so I could attach outdoor shower head | |
| drilled hole too small, pressed in pipe. | | | | | Later I replaced the shorter pipe with a longer one to give me more space | |
| | | water line for outdoor shower head will be hard to get to once water heater installed | | |
| | | yay, now I have an outdoor shower head. Quarter turn valve will get installed inside by water heater | | | goes from sink to shower head | |
| | gray pb already coupled to pex (both 3/8"). Now temporary shark bite goes from 3/8" pex to 1/2" pex | | | this let me avoid replacing water lines to kitchet at this time | | |
| blue pex with 2 90's goes to outdoor shower head | | | | |
| | | | the cold water inlet (bottom) has ss check valve installed. Ultimately it was too loud so I removed | |
| | | | Brain fart, accidentally installed hot line to cold faucet and vice versa | |
| yeah, hot going to wrong side | | | this turd was way too loud. replaced with straight pipe | | | | rerouted lines so bathroom sink has hot and cold on correct side | |
| white handled quarter turn valve shuts off water to outside shower, good for winter | | | | outside shower also has button right on it for local control | | | all the old pb lines I removed | |
