The plastic dip tube in my heater was made with a 1/8" hole a few

direction should it face?

I seem to remember something about that. As I recall it makes
no difference where it points.

You got me confussed here. I just can't picture a Dip Tube 1/8"
Plastic , mounted on the side, and pointed in any direction. Can you
explain to me what it being talked about ?

TURTLE

I believe the OP was referring to a standard dip tube and was
talking about a 1/8" hole in the side of the dip tube near the top
of the dip tube. I think Don explained the reason it is there.

i sure never heard of that hole being there but now I don't install
hot water tanks for a living.

I don't recall where I had heard of it myself. I have never replaced a
dip tube myself. I did have one done for free after the big plastic dip
tube recall. I did not even bother to watch the guy.
