6 months old, could not unscrew fitting due to corrosion. Cut the pipes and they 'POPPED" out of position LOL
Had to take the power vent off and use a 24" pipe wrench! Replaced the unions, cleaned off corrosion, added a drip leg and got the system going. All because the homeowner couldn't wait till the next morning for us to do it right the first time.

They called the builder who sent out their licensed plumber. <G>
Yes, I changed out the valves and put some nice full port ball valves in. When rotating the picture to post here I lost the good view of all the corrosion on top of the tank,

I hate using those dielectrics. I stick to 3/4 female adapters and they never leak.

Dielectrics are junk.
