How do you hook -up a gas hot water heater?

residential? commercial? new ? replacement? if its a new water heater in a new home then the easiest way is to buy copper flex's and a gas flex and make sure you have low pressure gas at your gas stop like around 10 to 14" water column. Make sure you have a cold shut off on your cold water line before you hook up to the water heater and in some states they require a expansion tank. One good rule of thumb is if you have a check valve somewhere around your water meter or if on a well by your pressure tank then its a good idea to put a expansion tank.

Can you connect PEX to a water heater?

No. Not directly. It needs to be 18 inches away... in length, not distance according to the UPC. An 18 inch water heater flex would work or 18 inches of copper tube with a pex adapter on the end will work.
