utilizes a ball valve; when closing the valve, the stem
will spin indefinitely. Confirm it is closed by ensuring
the slot on the stem is perpendicular to the valve body.
If alternative water connections are provided but not
used, make certain they are plugged (i.e. space
heating & alternate top connections).
2. Open the cold water supply shut-off valve.
3. Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the system.
4. When a steady stream of water flows from the faucets, the water
heater is filled. Close the faucets and check for water leaks at the
water heater drain valve, combination temperature and pressure relief
valve and the hot and cold water connections.
