Waterlock Removal

[BareProductions]

Good morning all,

I need to disconnect exhaust hose and pull the waterlock out to replace a waterheater (for access).

Any tips or tricks to complete this with out getting water everywhere?

Thanks!

Just remove the hoses and pull the water lock out. There shouldn't be more than an inch or two of water in it.

Most of them have a drain plug near the bottom, in case they need to be winterized.

Thanks guys!

I didn't even think to look for a drain. It's one of those plastic Vetus looking ones, according to google image looks like it probably has a drain. I'll take a look.

They always have a drain, also if it's one with swiveling inlet and outlet, it may be easier to remove the inlet and outlet from the water-lock and leave the hoses attached to them (hoses are often stuck).

Cheers,
JM.
