Utility Models (See Figure 2)
All utility models are supplied with inlet and outlet nipples located in a plastic bag
attached to the water heater. The hot and cold water locations are identified on
the side of the water heater. Apply appropriate amount of thread sealant to the
provided nipples and install nipples into the side of the tank. For 20 gallon utility
models, install the supplied anode/nipple combination at the HOT outlet location.
Connect the hot and cold water lines to the nipples using unions. Install a listed
temperature-pressure relief valve in the opening on the side of the water heater.
Install a vacuum relief anti-siphon device in the cold water inlet line when using
side cold water connection.
The 6 and 12 gallon models are equipped for installation with either side or top
water connections. They are shipped from the factory with the alternate top
connections plugged. The alternate top inlet is supplied with a dip tube. If the top
water connections are needed, remove pipe plugs from the alternate top
connections, apply appropriate amount of thread sealant to the provided nipples
and install nipples in desired top location. Apply appropriate amount of thread
sealant to the pipe plugs and install pipe plugs in the side locations. Install a
vacuum relief anti-siphon device in the cold water inlet line when using side cold
water connection.

Table Top Models (See Figure 3)
The hot water outlet and cold water
inlet are identified on the back panel of the water heater. Referring to figure
3, remove the two screws that are holding the service access panel in place.
Remove front panel for access. Wedge a flat bladed screwdriver into the
front joint between the top and side panels and force the top panel upward.
This will separate the top panel from the water heater and allow further
access to the water heater.
Check drain valve to make sure that it is closed. Part the top fiberglass
insulation to allow access to the plumbing and electrical connections.
Connect the cold water supply line and hot water outlet lines using elbows,
nipples and unions as shown in the diagrams. Install a shutoff valve in the
cold water inlet. A listed temperature-pressure relief valve has been factory
installed. Plumb the discharge as shown.
