Hey,
New poster here. Been lurking awhile.
Trying to set up thermosiphoning system returning to bottom of 50 gallon Whirlpool electic water heater. Thought cranking the plastic drain off may be an issue so I called manufacturer. “No problem…it’s durable, just crank it off,†tech rep said.
Right…big channel locks busted the hose bib part immediately. Cranked on the remaining stem which had the shut off valve but getting nowhere except mangling. Yep, counterclockwise.
Do I need to remove the cover…other tips? Without hot water in the meantime…any prompt advice would be greatly appreciated!
