valve and put the other end in a floor drain or outdoors. Open the water heater

drain valve. Open a nearby hot water faucet which will relieve pressure in the water heater and speed draining.

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. Disconnect the tempera-

ture-pressure relief valve drain line. When the water heater is drained, disconnect the

hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The water heater is now completely disconnected and ready to be removed.
