The original outlet fitting is soldered to the tank. It does have two  
flats on it for a wrench but it is not obvious since it doesn't  
protrude very far beyond the foam gasket. I would guess you broke the  
solder joint. You must use two wrenches to re-install. I won't repeat  
all of the previous posts but it can be re-soldered successfully. I  
too would take this as an opportunity to install a shut-off in the  
line. (been there, done that, etc.)
