Indeed, after only a few more minutes of failure to start, it kicked on and now I have hot water YAY! DougRe: Bleeding(?)

I started doing that but got worried that the igniter would somehow become damaged.Bleeding(?) Propane LinesThis topic has been moved to another forum. You can read it here: 30116469Bleeding(?) Propane LinesMy propane tanks are at the front of my trailer. My electronic ignition propane water heater (Airxcel) is at the rear. The line connecting them is 30' of 1/2 inch iron pipe and a few feet of copper. It is a new install and the line is filled with air. Because it is electronic ignition, there is no pilot light button to depress to get air out. How do I bleed the line? Thanks!!Re: Holding tank fittingsThank you all so much!! And BTW, it won't be a stationary installation. Tiny House on Wheels, which NM considers an RV. Although I will not abuse it like I do my offroad teardrop camper, I still will tow it.Re: Holding tank fittings Chris Bryant wrote: It depends on the tank material, most waste holding tanks are abs, and fittings are solvent welded. Polyethylene tank fittings are spin welded or use grommets. Wanting it to be leak free, I would be tempted to use metal. Thank you. My tanks are ikon and alpha, ready made, and are, I believe, abs. There are no holes for drain fittings, and I will have to drill. My concern was that if I solvent weld, and things wiggle even slightly (pot holes anyone?) that there might be lateral/twisting forces on the joints and the weld would break. I've never worked with abs before (total amateur, but with no money hire pros, and no pros within 50 miles or more) and don't know how strong welded abs joins are. I intend to waterproof (red guard) the compartment containing the tanks, but still don't want things to leak!Holding tank fittingsHi. I'm Doug, live in a very cold climate (high in the mountains), and am building a tiny house intended for year round living. I intend to install holding tanks in the heated space and can tolerate no leaks. What is the best way to attach incoming drain lines to the tanks to best insure that they do not leak? If I use grommets, can I glue fittings to them? Should I direct glue fittings to the tanks? BTW, I have a composting toilet, so only sinks and shower go into tanks. Thank you.
