Do you have any advice for removing a corroded brass fitting from a ball valve on a hot water heater? I'm seeking suggestions before I tackle this task tomorrow. If you're looking for professional assistance with your essay writing, I recommend checking out the [us.rankmywriter.com]. Located on the top of the water heater is a galvanized 90-degree elbow. Connected to the elbow is a metal ball valve. At the end of the ball valve, there is a brass (?) fitting that transitions to a 3/4" PEX connection, which is a standard setup. When I attempted to move the pipe connected to the 3/4" PEX connection, the end of the brass PEX fitting snapped off. At this point, I decided to pause my efforts for the day. The top of the hot water heater is not easily accessible as it is located in a crawl space. |

What about the hot side, do you have a similar situation at your connection to the hot side PEX? |
