Think that will work?
What is wrong with nylon fitting? See my attachment, this is what I would like to use
Any other suggestions are welcome
Thanks

Nylon seems it would work.
I have a 1/2" close CPVC nipple threaded into my heater, the other end into a SS flexible water line. On the open end I threaded a brass pipe-to-garden hose adapter, attached a brass garden hose cutoff, and threaded a short brass spout, actually a femaie replacement garden hose end, to the end. It works very well and tucks in right along the bottom of the water heater cutout. I used teflon tape on metal-to-metal thread connections.
Previously I had a plastic cutoff valve, but after a year it couldn't take the heat so I'm trying brass now.
Sometime I need to figure out how to download photos. I hear they are worth a thousand words and this probably poves that point.
Best wishes for a sucessful project and some great camping ahead!
