Default Water heater dip tube replacement


For mine, I just went to the plumbing supply store and bought a new plastic
one. Has a flared end, drops right in. The old one I took out was broken
off about 4" from the top.

i have a 50 gallon a0 smith tank that I think has a dip tube problem.
I have read somewhere about replacing the dip tube with 3/4 inch
copper pipe. Is this hard to do and how does the pipe attach to the
top of the tank?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

( By the way I missed that lawsuit so I cant get any help from that.)
I think my tank was manufactured in 96 or 97.)
