As this forum dispenses advice on everything from rectal surgery to trimming shrubs I thought I would give this a try. I purchased a new 50 gallon water heater and the factory drain valve is now made from a white plastic. I need to remove it to install fittings for a thermal siphon system but am a bit nervous. I reefed on it with a wrench and it refused to move. I can give it hell and bust it off, then remove the remains, but would like to get it out in one piece.
Has anyone successfully removed a plastic drain valve, intact?
I guess the right answer is pull on it until it either comes loose or busts...!
