Okay, the latest problem. I installed an expansion tank on my existing water heater. No problem, it works fine. The problem is that I switched from corrugated copper lines to corrugated stainless lines. The old copper lines were a little smaller inside diameter which meant that the rubber washers had a smaller inside diameter than the rubber washers on the corrugated stainless. Now the problem is that the nipples from the tank have blue plastic heat traps which the washer must seat against. Well the larger hole in the stainless line rubber washers doesn't really cover up a lot of the heat trap face so I am getting some weeping from there. Snugged a little and a little more but still barely weeping. Any suggestions on this one? Thanks.
