By brass fitting I assume you mean the check valve on the hot water side?
There were two brass fittings on the old water heater. One on top for the hot and one on the bottom. The one that is currently is in the top (hot) just appears to be a brass fitting that is hollow on the inside.
On the cold water side (bottom) the brass fitting has some type of white plastic little nipple thing on the inside.
Did you in fact fill the tank with water prior to lighting it off? Did you verify that water is flowing from the tank? Turn off the water, disconnect the hot side, connect a hose to it, turn on the water and check to be sure you have water flow. Once that is proved reconnect the hot line and verify the valve is in the correct position. With hot water in the tank by changing valve position you should also verify hot water flow.
Yep. Last night as a matter of fact, I took the hose off the connector to the hot water side and verified that I do have flow. (I just turned it on for like a few seconds and water starting gushing out.) BTW, based on the picture I submitted, is that the position I should have the valve in for normal operation?
