Electric hot water heater? | |
maha22 Small Fry Posts: 2 Kudos: 3 Votes: 0 Registered: 17-Jul-2010 | i am installing a new electric hot water tank. The tank is set up for 3/4 inch piping, I have 1/2 inch piping. 1/2 inch female adapters are too small to fit on the tank. 3/4 inch adapters are too big for the 1/2 inch PVC. If I put the 3/4 inch female adapters on the tank and glue in 3/4 inch PVC then glue 3/4 inch adapters at the other end of the PVC and screw in 1/2 inch adapters so the 1/2 inch PVC will fit, will everything work ok? ============================ |

You should be able to find "A" 3/4 to 1/2 inch adapter as a standard item in your local hardware store. I just cannot picture what kind of a "monster tank" you have that you have purchased a home style hot water tank to supply your aquarium. Even the lowest setting on any HW tank I've seen is too high for an aquarium. Frank BTW, "we" are not allowed to advertise for folks in our posts or as our signatures. You need to remove those URLs from your posts. -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |
