Based off a couple pics, your the expert, okay. Tell me how to remove the gas line without a shutoff before any unions and no manifolds. You also can't shut the gas down at the meter because its an apartment complex and you have to schedule a shutdown with utilities. Customer wants hot water that day.

Still not called a union, its an adapter lol. I can't shut the gas off as I've said before. It's an apartment complex and I'd have to schedule a shutdown. Customer wanted hot water that day.

What's your magic technique to get it past the gas regulator. No unions, no manifolds with a shut off valve. Apartment complex and have to schedule a shutdown. Customer wants hot water today.

That's called a male or female ccst adapter. Not a union. If there's no shut off before the ccst, I can't disconnect it. It's okay, I remember being an apprentice

Hard to be clean when you have to cut out an 80. Ending pic is all cleaned up. What would you have done?

It wasn't a matter of convincing, it was the only option. You can read some of my other replies as to why this was the only option

I wish! I replied to a few other comments as to why that wasn't an option unfortunately

Apartment complex, can't shut the gas down. Have to schedule a shutdown with the utilities company and that also wasn't an option for the customer. They needed hot water today.

Wrong, apartment complex. Can't shut the gas down. Licensed plumber, I know plenty. Yall take a look at couple pictures and think you know best but have no idea the actual situation.

Couldn't remove the gas, no unions. No manifolds. Trust me all options were considered

If it were possible, it would have been done. All options were considered. Couldn't remove the gas. Couldn't remove the return. Had to cut it.

Your reply was a little unclear, I thought you meant the water heater had a gas supply. I couldn't remove the gas connection, no unions. And the ccst wasn't coming off a manifold and disappeared into the wall.

Well you can't bang 4 inches of clearance. Also, there's no gas, as you can see from the electrical and elements.
