Just had to give these guys some credit. Fellow Plumbers that came up with it.
I seen them available at some parts stores but figured they were a bit pricey. Then the very next call I dumped a 40gal water heater. Caught it before it hit the ground but still quite a bit embarassing in front of the home owner. After that I went and grabbed a set. Now I won't do a heater without em. You can even lift a still full heater off a stand, let it continue draining while you put the new heater on the stand and install it.
