    If they tell you this, then they should be able to explain how they have done this on previous jobs. And if they have done this with successful results, then please let me know how they do it. Sure would be a lot easier than replacing the clogged fittings.

    Who is the "they" I am pretty sure they aren't plumbers. How long since you flushed the heater? Do not pressurize your plumbing with air pressure.
