It will fill, but you should run water thru it. Turn the galley faucet on for a few minutes. That will bleed the lines and clear out any remaining air. If its not toast, you're lucky!
Good habit to get into is to run the water first before you turn the hot water tank on. Little extra insurance.
It's is not easy to replace, that's for sure! Did mine 2 years ago. Take yoga and stretch beforehand.
Hey I finally completed my water heater replacement. I also had to recreate the wood deck with the drop in lids that sits above it. Mine was soft in the back right corner. Curious if you saw evidence of water infiltration when you replaced yours. I can’t figure out where it may have come from.It will fill, but you should run water thru it.
