ABSTRACT:
A method of replacing an inlet valve for a hot water tank, comprising removing the existing valve and inserting a new valve particularly adapted for use in the present invention. The new valve is connected to the pipe end portion of the inlet pipe by means of a compression nut and a ferrule, with the compression nut attaching to exterior threads on a first connecting portion of the valve. Then the flex tube connecting member is interconnected with the exterior threads of a second pipe connecting portion. The valve itself is a gate valve with a full flow through passageway, and the two exteriorly threaded connecting portions are to be connected to the compression nut and the flex tube connecting nut, respectively.
