actually any home, its easier to work without water draining back on
you,

and nearly impossible to solder copper lines with water in them.

2 valves elminate all this.

and what difference does a frame home make?

mine is brick but the water system is the same.

the only time both valves are closed is during tank replacement.....



You are aware of "The Dumb Ass Effect"? You will
know better than to shut off both valves while
the heater is in operation but "some dumb ass"
will come along and turn the damn things off
when they're not supposed to.

TDD

yeah, but you won't be living there anymore, so you'll be able to laugh
about it
