The two internally lined nipples are dielectric nipples. Do not confuse electrical continuity with dielectric continuity.

Thanks Richard,

It is very confusing since the word "dielectric" means non conductor of electricity and the check valves are made of metal which would conduct electricity from the pipes to the tank.

I think I'll go look in our junk pile and see if I can get a few pictures of water heater connections that have been in for a few years.
