I bought this water heater kzfaq.infoUgkx8G49mV71sAzUl9shXyLW-r3XgHH9EVh1 for use in my bus conversion. I installed it under my kitchen sink and it is fed by a high efficiency on-demand LP water heater. It is both a backup hot water source as well as a water saving device since we have hot water on demand rather than having to wait for the gas on demand water heater to finish its ignition cycle. I decided on this water heater due to the fact that it only draws 1300watts when it's ON instead of the 1500 watts that most Water heaters this size draw. In an RV a couple hundred watts can be a big deal. With very low standby losses, I don't have to worry about excessive power consumption. When propane is not available for our gas water heater, in conjunction with our low flow shower head there is enough hot water available to shower, albeit we won't be taking "hotel showers." Also very happy with the recovery rate of this water heater. Granted, it is quite small, but it does exactly what we need it to do.

Water heater went out about two weeks ago. Attempted to relight but pilot light wouldn’t stay lit. Next thing I did was replace the thermocouple (as almost every video on KZfaq says that’s most likely the issue), still nothing, not even a flame at this point, just a spark from the ignitor and that was it. Next I replaced the thermostat and that fixed the issue. It took a few attempts to get it to ignite, but eventually it took and we’re good to go now. Once the pilot light was present and stayed lit, we had hot water again, but very low water pressure in a few of the faucets throughout the house going into the next day (about 12 hours had elapsed at this point since the water heater had been repaired). Basically, when I drained the tank and refilled it, sediment caked some of the faucets when the cold water inlet was opened to refill the tank (this is a common occurrence). Alls I had to do at that point was remove the aerator’s from the effected faucets, clean them with a toothbrush, reassemble them, and then we had full water pressure back as well as hot water. Note: I used an 18” Milwaukee pipe wrench to remove my old thermostat and it worked perfectly for leverage and strength. Thank you for this video, it was very beneficial.

That is called a pipe wrench (AKA monkey wrench). You can use a ratchet extension (or a length of 1/2" pipe) inserted into the gas inlet receptical and use it as a breaker bar to get stubborn thermostats out. Doesn't matter if you damage the threads, you are throwing the thing away.
@YosemiteJohn2 жыл бұрын
Well, not to nit pick but a Monkey wrench has flat jaws where a Pipe Wrench's Jaws have teeth to bite into a pipe to turn it, other than that the two wrenches look identical and for what he is doing here you could make do with either one, but to hold an old iron pipe you would need a pipe wrench. Monkey wrenches are harder to find these days as adjustable spanner wrenches sometimes called Crescent wrenches work better on most modern machinery. I was going to mention that as well but couldn't tell from the video if the jaws of the wrench were flat or had teeth. I thought they were the same thing for years as well until my Dad who was a WT 1st Class in the Navy near the end of WWII pointed out the difference one day. He also called the Monkey Wrench a Wagon Wrench, though that was a more specialized tool back in the day because one or more Monkey Wrenches were usually thrown in the tool box in a Wagon, Buggy, or the early cars as well. Okay I guess I did Nit Pick a bit.

You should be using a piece of pipe screwed in to where the main gas line was screwed in without the fitting. You use the pipe as the wrench to turn the thermostat.

I want to do away with the newer control valve that needs replacing regularly, and put an older and more reliable valve in, is this possible? Or have they put different threads on the control valves so it isn't? Honeywell has some good products, but their gas control valves go out with very annoying frequency.

NOPE! Get the model, serial number and run with it to a plumbing supply house, make sure your water heater is still under warranty, if you 're still covered by your warranty you should get parts for free or a whole new unit (warranty last 6/ 12 years)
@forteanthreat5 жыл бұрын
Im about to do that, the honeyhell digitals are getting a bad rep. I bought a new burner assembly with a thermocouple instead of thermopile off Amazon for 78.00 and got the same analog gas valve he has here from Lowe's for 86.00. Was trying to figure out if you are supposed to remove the plastic sleeve from the sensor. It looks like you should keep it on.

What one does first is take the model & a serial number of the water heater check make sure if it's still under warranty, if it so you should get parts for free, all you have to do is contact your water heater provider with the model and serial number. Otherwise you have to run to a plumbing supply house like Ferguson, Morrison, Moore and get the parts needed such as a kit pilot assembly.
