WAGS Valve?
Does anyone onboard have one of these on your personal water heater and have any comments about them?

I have (2) 75 gal. gas water heaters just sitting in the attic which I know one day will leak and cause problems. Only 2 yrs. old now, but we know that doesn't mean nothing.

Myself I see way too many of them leaking and am considering the installation of the WAGS valve to maybe have a bit more piece of mind.

Any idea on cost of them?

Below is a couple pictures I took a few weeks ago. If you notice in one picture, they have placed some foam type strips in front of the emergency drain pan openings. I assume this is to allow the water to back up somewhat in the pan for the WAGS valve to be able to be activated.

Any thoughts? Thanks as always.
