severe burns instantly or death from scalding.

er, bathtub or sink.

faucet or draw their own bath.

• If anyone using hot water in the building fits

the above description or if local codes or state

laws require specific water temperatures at hot

water faucet, it is recommended:

- to install a thermostatic mixing valve at this

appliance or at each water faucet.

temperature which satisfies your hot water

needs.

– Direct water flow away from any person.

Protection must be taken against excessive

temperature and pressure!

• Installation  of  a Temperature  &  Pressure

(T&P) relief valve is required.

To prevent damage to the inner tank, the

Installer must:

• Always fill inner tank prior to outer tank

and always drain outer tank prior to inner

tank.

• Relieve primary system pressure below 15

psig prior to draining inner tank.
