snipped instructions for heater replacement

If your pipes are galvanized you don't need di-electric fittings.


Don't use galvanized pipe; it rusts from the inside out after a few
decades. Use copper.

I agree, the OP is talking about a retrofit of a water heater in a house
that already has galv. water pipes. They probably ought to be replaced
with copper at some point, but one job at a time
