TABLE OF CONTENTS

CAUTION:

• Do not subject tank to any vacuum.  If there is a possibility that a vacuum could occur, a vacuum breaker must be installed.

• Do not locate unit where the tank or any lines (including drain lines) will be subject to temperatures below freezing.

• If there is not at least 10’ of line between the water heater inlet and the outlet of the closest softener/filter, an expansion tank  
  should be installed.

• Do not use Vaseline or any petroleum-based lubricants on O-rings or rubber seals.  Only use food-grade silicone lubricant.  

• O-rings are lubricated before leaving the factory and do not require additional lubrication before installation in most cases.

• Do not use pipe dope or any sealant other than Teflon tape on threaded connections.  Threads on the control valve and on the    
  bypass nut connections do not require any tape because they use an O-ring seal.  Tape is only required on the inlet/outlet 
  adapter fittings and on the drain line fitting (if applicable).
