Turn off water supply source
Remove 'anode rod' from drain hole
*1 1/16" socket and extension
Pop open T&P Relief Valve via Lever....let it SNAP closed when done draining
After draining ......
Turn water supply ON and let it BLAST out drain hole to clear scale/crud out of bottom of tank
Then clean threads on anode rod...couple wraps of sealant tape'
Insert rod and start threads using fingers. Then tighten using socket
Just SNUG. Threads are tapered and should seal w/o having to really tighten rod.
Replace OLD rod when it has been used up by 75%
