Actually for that vintage and model the gas valve is installed with solenoids DOWN
As for how long tank with last....until it leaks :B
Seriously.......no time table
Pin hole leaks or cracks in welds are types of leaks on tanks
LOL, that is a totally reasonable answer :D It's good to know that the old one is correctly installed right now. I'll do the same with the replacement solenoid, or at least try to. I should have the parts either today or tomorrow.
Thanks again for the information and the background on the upside-down orientation of the valve.
I can access the hot water heater under one of the twin-beds in the back. I'll take some time to inspect for leaks while I'm installing the new valve.
