+1 to Jacks comments. The difficulty with flushing is that the cold water inlet and the drain line are shared. I replumbed my heater with a 3-way valve so that when I want to flush I shift the valve and now the cold water goes IN the hot water outlet and OUT the drain at the cold water inlet tap.
Since I was replumimg I also fit a thermal mixing valve so that the hot water (170°) wouldn't burn anyone. https://drive.google.com/folder/d/0B8pEh5lnvP1ydEpoMU1MWmx6Qms/edit Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD On Jul 8, 2014 4:46 PM, "Joel Aronson via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > All, > > I've got a Raritan heater.
