My water heater is leaking from the hot water pipe. I looked it up online it says to tighten the fittings but it’s welded on one side. So what do I do to fix this. I will add pics to help u see what I’m talking about.

Hire a lic’ed plumber

Use a piece of rubber hose and a gear clamp trick

Flexseal or hire a licensed plumber. Whichever you trust more.

Just put a big pipe wrench on the fitting and tighten it up. The pipe will twist with it enough to stop the leak.

That’s usually what I do.

Have you tried to turn it off and on again?

Coat the entire top of the heater with hydraulic cement.

Turn it off, jiggle the cable and turn it off again. That will fix it.

Encapsulate the entire water heater rectally, your's of course. Grip firmly with the appropriate muscles and that should seal the leak.
