Any suguestions on replacing/upgrading the stock plastic T-'s that go between the exaust and the shower, The stock ones are plastic and after time and heat they start to stretch and water leek's around the hose clamp. Im sure they make these in brass just wondering where I could get some???

Grant- Have you tried Orchard Supply Hardware, they have a whole selection of brass fittings in the plumbing section. You might have to piece it together to get your desired diameters. You should be able to get the tee and then bush down for the 90 coming out the top.

OSH has a much better supply of these things compared to Home Depot. Plus, Home Depot is often out of stuff these days (I think HD is loosing it). I bet Lowes has a good supply too.

last resort is McMaster-carr or Grainger. I prefer McMaster-carr they are super fast and have a huge selection of stuff.

Grant,

Another completely different approach is to pull the hot water from the block like I did in my 1995? There should be a removable plug in the block similar to the water temp but on the other side. Just put a brass feed line in that instead?

You could also try the poly fittings from these guys, they should hold up better than the PVC to the heat: http://stores.ebay.com/TANKS-MORE they have almost everything
