  Good video. But you never ever use pipe dope on a gas union. Just FYI for anyone else working with gas lines. That union's flare is meant to dry compress and seal against the other half of the union, and any dope or tephlon tape will not allow the union's flare to seat properly. 12 year repair tech here. Thousands of heater repairs and installs under my belt. Anytime you come across a gas union, no matter what and unless otherwise stated in the union manufacturer's manual, it is always a dry fit. Then, just take a water bottle with a tiny bit of soap ( I use dawn or any dish soap) and poke a hole in the cap and spray the fittings to check for leaks. You can also use a screw to seal the hole in the water bottle cap and keep it on your truck for next time.

  Thanks. One other tip when transferring stuff, as you needed to do for the manifold, is to move pieces from old to new one at a time. It's harder to forget orientations and other details. Also take pictures before disassembling anything.

  Looks like that leak was caused by the installation of the relief valve in the drain hole. That galvanized pipe fitted to the plastic manifold not a good choice. All heaters come from manufacturer with just a drain fitting there.

  Dude! &nbsp;Wow, thanks for this video. &nbsp;Couldn&apos;t have come at a better time. &nbsp;My manifold froze and cracked during the deep freeze we had in Colorado a couple weeks ago. &nbsp;Just ordered a new one.
