A:  This fitting will adapt to the galvanized nipples on the hot water tank. However, you must have 18" of metal between the hot water tank outlets and your CPVC pipe (any plastic based pipe...PEX too) in case of a fire. Use a stainless steel connector to attach to the hot water tank and then begin your CPVC run. An item that would be ideal for your application is Apollo Model # FSBBS34F18BV, Internet #301492142, Store SKU #1002439745, Store SO SKU #1002377323. The connector will screw onto the hot water tank and then you can push your CPVC pipe into the Tectite push ball valve.
