You need two wrenches for unions.
Control valve stays with water heater, old or new, no need to remove.
You can use teflon tape and pipe dope.
You can use teflon tape only.
You can use pipe dope only.
I recommended pipe dope because with the flex connector has flare joint (pipe dope only).
Did you drain your water heater from the previous thread? That's the first step. Unless you're stronger than me and can move 350lb full water heater. The only way is the hose bib at the bottom. Run the hose to anywhere. And I hope you have a helper do remove and replace the heaters form the attic.
Oh never mind you'r stronger than me. :wink:
Good Luck
I have to go coach volleyball right now. Be back in a couple of hours to check on you.
