I have a Rheem Hot water heater that has a broken valve release. The part that turns on the valve. How can I drain it if I can not get this part to turn?
Turn off the main water to the house , turn off gas to heater open lowest hot tap to take pressure off .Undo union on hotwater tap outlet on heater more water will come out , open cold tap at sink that will take pressure out of main . you should be able to change valve with out getting too much wet .
