I have a leak in my old Gas Water Heater.
I am confused because the heater is empty & was wondering why there
is no water constantly running into the Heater.
Is it safe to use a flex line instead of solid pipe to hook up the
gas line. ?
We don't have local authorities, local code, or needed permits, thus
I replaced one with flex on both the "in" and "out" sides about one
year ago and everything has been fine.

As far as the lack of water running in goes, is the valve turned on?
If so, open a faucet somewhere and see what happens.

Hi,
Where do you live?


Well, I'm in Houston. Permits are not needed for ANYTHING done within or to
the four walls (water heater installation, circuit breaker box replacement,
wall moving, roofing, re-arranging the knick-knacks on the mantle etc.). We
also don't have zoning. The politicians leave the folk mostly alone.

We have guns.


Hi,
And Hurricanes, LOL! I have one relative lives down there. He is prof.
at Texas U.
