    I got some of those power vents along with a bunch of fireplace accessories from a auction a while back. Here's another use for it...When running pipe you are allowed so many feet in the run with deductions being taken for bends, angles and size etc. If your HWH is buried in the basement and you have to go thru 2 stories and a tall roof, a power vent will give you more footage to work with.

    Good break down techniques. I just tossed one whole with my tin because I couldn't get any brass or valve off. I never think to use my vise grips enough.
