To conserve energy and to prevent freezing, insulate both cold and hot water
supply lines. DO NOT cover the drain valves. Install a shut off valve near the inlet
of the water heater for service and draining purposes. Before connecting the
water supply pipe to the water heater, open the shut off valve and clean out sand,
debris, air, caulking material, etc inside the pipe. Connect to the water inlet, then
check water flow. Close the shut off valve and clean the water filter.
If a water heater is installed in a close water supply system, such as one having a
backflow preventer in the cold water supply line, means shall be provided to
control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector
on how to control this situation.
To ensure proper operation of the water heater, the following water pressure
guidelines should be followed:
●
Operation of the water heater requires the minimum water pressure of 14 PSI
and a minimum water flow rate of 0.75 GPM.
●
Additional water pressure is required for long pipe runs and outlet fitting(s)
water pressure drops.
●
To maintain proper performance, ensure sufficient water supply pressure. The
Required Water Pressure= Min. Operating Water Pressure (14 PSI)+Pipe
Pressure Loss +Faucet and Shower Pressure Loss + Safety Margin (more than
5 PSI)
●
To supply hot water to upper floors, additional water pressure (0.44 PSI / FT)
must be ensure.
● The measurement should be calculated by the distance between the water inlet
of the water heater (ground level) to the hot water faucet (upper floor level).
● Well water systems should be set at a range of 50-60 PSI.
● When the water is supplied from a water supply tank, the height of the tank
and the diameter of the pipes and their relation to water pressure, should be
taken into consideration. Gravity water pressure is not recom mended.
IMPORTANT:
Do not apply heat to the HOT or COLD water connections. Any
heat applied to the water supply fittings will permanently damage the internal
components of the water heater.
