Old water heater

[tommyboy_iceman]

Hello All,

I just had to replace my 50gal water heater since it decided to split down the back and flood my basement while I was away. Before I haul it off to the dump, does anyone think there might be some use for any of the parts. Heating element, valves or some other awesome parts that I don't even know about?

Thanks,
Tom

I harvested a couple of 4500 watt high watt density elements out of a defunct unit. One heats my HLT and the other may be used at 120 V in a RIMS someday.
