Folks,

May be an easy question for the pros..

I am installing a water heater which has 3/4 lines connected to it
(inlet).

House pipes are all 1/2 inches.

Can I just connect the house pipe to 3/4 using a reducer. One end goes
to house supply line and the other end goes to the water heater which
is ? I don't think there will be any water pressure problem. But,
still wanted to check out with pros..

will appreciate any help, suggestions..

thanks,
DJ

The pipe supplying water to your house is six to twelve inches!

Use whatever connectors are necessary.

The 3/4 to 1/2 reducer will be fine.
