Perhaps it's a water heater that explains what it's doing? What it is, is the spell checker. It doesn't know when a 'w' is really a 't'. People usually seem to figure those out, considering context. Software can't. [8~{} Uncle Monster Oh eye get it, a spiel chequer pogrom malefactor. Eye understate know. [8~{} Uncle Monster |

Do I need to take the trailer to HD to get a new water heater or can I lay the box on its side in the bed of my truck? I have a fiberglass topper and the heater is too tall to stand up. The boxes say "This side up" and whatnot, but it's a water heater... I'd like to save gas and just get the heater on the way home instead of making a special trip. OK, Im loving the replies here. Mark, will you be here all week? lol |

I think the preheated water has cooled by now so it has contracted leaving a vacuum to suck the glass away from the cast iron. That should protect the water.

That works okay, but it's best to freeze the water in the water heater so it doesn't jostle around when transported. You can take it to a wholesale meat market or a similar place and they'll freeze it for you. |

I'd like to save gas and just get the heater on the way home instead of making a special trip. I wouldn't try it. Most if not all of the preheated water that is installed at the factory will leak out. Water heaters are notoriously hard to prime if the factory installed water gets out. Thank you so much! Im, so glad I found your post, or I would have lost all my factory installed water! |

Seriously?
You're going to revive a decades old thread, and miss the mandatory standard argument? It's lined with window glass, if you tip it it might crack. No way, it;s fiberglas, that;s what glass lined means. No you;re a dummy. No you;re the dummy. Tec. |
