I posted a possible remedy on a separate thread which you had started. I feel bad you are having these problems, but to quote someone famous, "Been there, done that!" Once you finally get this up and running, please follow up with a reply on this forum so that others may learn ideas if and when they have the same bad luck!
Good news everyone,
I found out why the pilot would not light. It actually was lighting but I could not see it through the port window. That problem is now solved. Thanks for the great help with my problem. I would have not been able to solve these problems without this forum.
What made you decide to replace rather than repair the leaks in the pipe? ALso, thanks for the update!
I decided to put in a new water heater because the threads in the female nipples were extremely deteriorated probably due to two dissimilar metals coming into contact with each other, copper and iron.
