Caution rant ahead.
I hate these threads.
Everytime I go to pick up a connector, the threads are wonky.
Learned the hard way about but, or bps, or whatever the heck it is.
Went to pick up a standard shutoff valve. You think I could find one with fpt to match my npt nipples... grrr there all ips. Maybe that would work, but why take a chance.
And getting a brand that's a good one, and not from China (but they all probably come from there anyway)
I just want to put it togeather and not have to worry about leaking / rust,whatever.
Ok, rant over.
Now... corrugated stainless vs braided for water heater. I'm thinking just stick with corrugated.
