I need to replace my instant hot water heater. It's an old insinkerator or is it "in sink erator" or "in sinkerator".
A few years ago, my plumber disconnected my instant hot water heater because the connection was leaking. The original connection was opne of those self-tapping connections. I think they call it a saddle connection or a saddle tap.
Anyway, he put some sort of connection with a valve with a half-moon type of handle on it. The handle is round, and it curves over and down like the top of a mushroom. I don't know what kind of connection is on the valve... any idea?
Oh wait, I just checked and it's an "Emerson". Maybe my garbage disposal is an insinkerator. | |
| Sounds like it's the same type as on the faucet shut off valves under the sink. You could use a stainless steel braided supply hose with screw on ends. This would be the easiest type of connection. So when you purchase a new Instant hot water fixture, see what type connection it uses then get that to a 3/8 (probably).
Measure the length you will need before you go to the store as they come from about 12" to 48" long |
