copper

water

pipes

can be

cut

with

a hacksaw

 

approximately

 

four

inches

from

where

they connect

 

to the water heater. This will avoid cutting off the pipes

 

too short. Additional cuts can be made later if necessary.

drain line. When the water heater is drained, disconnect

 

the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve.
