Need to replace a gas water heater and had a few questions?
1. Home Depot has Rheem and Lowes has Whirlpool, any preference?
2. Best way to tie into plumbing , right now the old is hard lined to the tank. Hard line, Copper Flex, Stainless flex, etc.?
3. I'm replacing the cold shutoff, there is no shutoff for the hot, Should I also install a hot shutoff?
4. System has no expansion tank, never had any issues as this unit I'm replacing is close to 20 years old. There is no check valve or press, reducing valve within the house. Expansion tank or not? was thinking a expansion tank requires a press. reducing valve?
