    Thought I would post the weights from the old water heater I just replaced. Took about less than a hour to remove, about a hour to scrap it and much longer installing the new one. The old one was 21 years old and a 30 gallon tank, these are the scrap metals and their weights: Light Steel 118.5 Lbs., Aluminum (cast & MLC) 2 1/2 Lbs., Yell. Brass 14 1/4 Oz., Copper (1 & 2) 2 1/2 Oz., SS 1/4 Oz.



    With the price of scrap metal right now I defiantly wouldn't go out of my way to get a water heater. If someone brings to me, or it was included with big load of other scrap metal, or like me had a old one that I had to deal with well by all
