    Replacement of hot water outlet question

    My plastic hot water outlet cracked and I broke it trying to back it out. I saw the the threads about ways to back out the plastic part. It also has a spring in it that I assume is a check valve to prevent water coming back in. If I replace the plastic part with brass how does the check...

The new BC came in with Freestar tires so the $1500 upgrade still has crappy tires on it. Could have done nothing and upgraded...
