Replace a water heater

[akpolaris]

I need to replace an electric water heater. I will come out the top with dielectric fittings and sweat some 90's to head toward the supply lines. Can I sue pex for the outgoing hot and supply cold lines. It would be an easy connection with some pex to the present copper utilizing sharkbite fittings. I may be a little tight for an 18" flexible copper connection. thanks

Yes you can. It is commonly done.

I dont think you need a dielelectric connection if you use pex.

In America anyone can sue anybody for anything.

Simple spell check accident. OP no doubt meant to type in “use” and the letters got switched around.
