    See the latter part of my post.

    IF you're going to use the flex lines, use the copper ones. If you look inside the steel-braided rubber ones, it greatly restricts the size. ...unless your water heater is already running 1/2" copper like I've seen before.

    I'm also actually surprised about the permit...wow. I like to read these threads because one day I know it will need to be done and I would rather not pay someone else to do it.

    A little off-topic, but the LITTER permit to have a litter of puppies or kittens is $231 in Aurora.

    Any way the city can get into your personal life and make a buck.

    Water lines are hard piped (no flex) into existing water heater 3/4 inch pipe, vent pipe is 4 inch and I had my chimney re lined last summer. Gas is also hard lined in with gas iron pipe (no flex pipe). House is 1942 built existing water heater is 1989, water heater is in basement on floor in furnace room with no floor drain available.

    Like others have said as long as you are going with one of approx the same size it is almost plug-n-play. The hardest part is getting the old one out especially if it dosent drain all the way.
    Don't be stupid!!!!!
