On time delivery. Use correct size wrenches, check fittings for leaks with soap bubble solution

After the basement flooded I had to remove and clean the water heater burner assembly. I rounded the nut when pulling it off and accidentally pinched the aluminum ignition gas line. This Reliance Water Heater Gas Thermopile Assembly 9007876 was used to replace a Kenmore water heater model #153331651 9007876 Pilot Assembly w/Tubing and Fittings. Bending the test tube tube to match the old one you're replacing with before installing is a helpful tip I got on YouTube. The hardest part of the work was lowering my former self to the floor and getting up again several times to complete the work. Very happy to have hot water again! You saved a ton of money by choosing the DIY route. Notes to self: Don't forget to turn off the gas in the water heater before starting. Be sure to use the correct size open-end wrenches to avoid stripping the bolts. And, most importantly, after everything is assembled, turn the gas valve back on and check both gas lines for leaks by flushing out the baby soap solution (liquid dish soap and water). ) on the threaded connections of the gas lines, if a bubble appears or smells of gas, this indicates a leak and you must immediately close the gas valve until it is properly repaired.
