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.
 
I’m reporting you to the WWTC. World Wide Thread Commission

We can’t be having people like you advocating for simplicity and maintain the level of fuckery that keeps everyone confused so cut it out.
