re: OT Plumbers : question of soldering a water line

As another poster mentioned you can just use a sharkbite. If you have zero tools then you can still do this for around $50-$60. Need a adjustable wrench, pipe cutter and the sharkbite hose. I helped installed two water heaters this year and even though I can solder I just find it easier to do a shark bite

Shark bites and pex are the two best things to happen for DIYers (regarding plumbing)

You shouldn't put a sharkbite or pex with in 6'-0" of the water heater
