And what we like to do before we install any gas water heater
We like to preassemble the gas line and cut off on at the control valve
And what I just showed you was a few black Iron pipe nipples with different sizes
And with any gas line that has treaded pipe
You want to make sure you out pipe compound on each connection
And here were putting on the ½ black iron pipe tee
And when we turn the fitting here we put it in an angle so that we don't have to turn it back
Here we have little more turn
But before we make that last and final turn
Were going to install the drip leg some people call it a dirt leg
And the purpose of the drip leg is to catch any trash or condensation in the line
So that it does not get caught up into the gas control valve
With the drip leg it will pass up the opening to the gas control valve
And prevent it from getting caught up in the gas control valve
And the drip leg is just a 6" black iron pipe nipple with a cap on one end
And now we can make the full turn that's were we want it right there
And this is just a short nipple were going to put here
And with that nipple were gong to install the black iron pipe union
And the purpose of the union is in case you ever have to replace the water heater
You can just take it apart right here with out breaking down the hole system
And remember always put the union before the gas cut off valve
The water your hearing in the back ground is the old water heater draining out
And here you see were install our gas ball valve
See how the ball valve operates
This is the type if gas valve you want to use
And this here is what we call preassembling the gas line for the water heater
