I posted this on the DIY website because it is not plumbing related but I figured I get pretty good help here so why not try here too. This is a long-ish explanation so I appreciate any help I can...

Thank you. I had to replace both the lower line (near ground) and the one on the top. So, I ended up draining it.

Your answers definitely made this easier! Thank you.

I have now supplied it with hot water and it no longer leaks. I have no idea why it is designed this way... it seems to not make any sense.

I got my hot water to it now and it is fine. If I shut...

I am 99% sure of this but just in case there is a way around it...

Can I replace the lines on a hwt without draining the entire tank?

I am assuming not because it's under pressure... but...

I pulled the cartridge and it looks fine (although I'm not certain of what to look for exactly). There was no debris on it and there was a little bit of grease.

I will wait until I can get hot...

This may seem like a ridiculous question... but I am wondering...

What is the proper way to angle horizontal ABS drainage pipes?

If you connect the pieces, they seem to want to stay straight....

Thanks for the clarification on these. Hopefully it will help others as well!

Now, for something a little simpler... I have a joist that is partially in the way of my flange. Assuming that I would...

Thanks! Found that out a bit after I posted.

So, as for this WC connection....

Thanks for the help.

If you search for "Fixture arm defined" in google, the first hit will have a diagram.

It states that figure B is correct while figure C is not because the vent opening...

Is there any reason not to consider an on demand hot water tank on the basis of having a homerun manifold system? I'm not sure if this system is affected differently to a conventional one.

Thanks...
