I have a 40 Gallon Natural GAZ "GIANT" hot water tank. The Cold water in valve was leaking so I changed the piece. I made sure that the everything was clear and clean and that the valve was a BI-Directional flow. The tubes are PEC and I crimped the O-rings into place and they are a GO.

However with the water turned back on the Hotwater flow in the house on all faucets is down to a Trickle. Cold water flow is normal.

HELP!

Any ideas?

The inlet nipples on some water heaters have a rubber diaphram and may have debris blocking them.
