Re: SER1 Installing Heater Control Valve

I don't have a heater to look at, but if memory serves isn't the garden
spigot usually in plane with the water pump or thereabouts?  At that
location I shouldn't think that water could get to the spark leads.
Perhaps some relocation is warranted, in addition to tape or whatever.
