I am used to soldered pipe connections for water heaters, but what are your
thoughts on using the flexible stainless steel FIP to make the connections?
Up side of the flexible piping:
Easier to make the connection
Easier change out of the water heater in the future
Down side of flexible piping:
Can you teach an old dog a new trick?
Upside of soldered piping:
Locks the water heater in place
The way it has always been done
Down side of soldered piping:
Better plumbing skills to make the connections
