• Prevents leaks by maintaining a secure, routed path for water flow
• Helps avoid poor heating performance caused by blockages or cracks in the tube
• Commonly replaced for visible cracks, splits, or when water sprays or leaks near the heater area

What's included:

• One heater fill tube

Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off water supply before beginning any repair
• Inspect surrounding hoses, clamps, and fittings; replace any damaged hardware for a reliable seal
• Use basic hand tools; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly and routing details
