Hot water heater drain leaking into TT
So I have a suburban water heater, electric ignition, no electric coil, propane, 6 gallons. The model number is worn away. Every time I drain the tank water gets into the kitchen area directly adjacent to the heater. I have sealed the seam with eternabond but somehow water is still getting in. My question: Is there a gasket that goes around the drain plug that wears out or something? That is the only area where I feel the water could still be getting in. I want to nip this in the bud before it eats my kitchen floor away. Thanks.
