Was in the basement and noticed drips on the side of the HW tank. Surprise. It’s leaking up by the copper fitting. Well, at least it wasn’t the tank. Grabbed parts today and took it apart. Seems the installer didn’t use Teflon tape and we had some galvanic corrosion going on. Replaced the nipple and was able to reuse the copper connection. A few bucks and a few trips to the Hardware store which Pirate approved and leaks are gone. If you can’t do it right, why are you doing it? Too lazy to walk up and grab the Teflon tape I guess. Store was out of solder fittings in this size so I did a Shark Bite. Added bonus, I can now remove the pipe without additional cutting
