Hello,
I used a borescope and found the propane line that goes back to my water heater has what looks like a corrosion spot. I can't get my sniffer back there easily but I only can smell propane after the water heater is operating and then shut off, so I am assuming it is that line.
Is there specific tubing to use for replacement? Or is the flexible 3/8" stuff from Home Depot sufficient? For example: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-3-8-OD-in-x-10-ft-Copper-Soft-Refrigeration-Coil-Pipe-D-06010PS/100343482
It seems like the copper tube used on the propane lines in the 2003 Hawk I have are more robust...?
Nothing special about the fittings either, just a "standard" flare end? I have a flare tool around here somewhere...
Thanks for any info.
