WARNING: Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks, as property damage, personal 

injury, or death could result.

The tankless water heater and its gas connections must be leak tested at normal operating 

pressures before it is placed in operation.

• 

Turn on the gas to the tankless water heater from the recommended gas cylinder.

• 

Use a commercial leak detector or soapy water solution to test for leaks at all connections 

and fittings.

• 

Bubbles indicate a gas leak that must be corrected.

The factory connections should also be leak tested after the tankless water heater is placed in 

operation cause water damage which may or may not be reparable.  Please check the warranty 

information found on our website at www.eccotemp.com for more information on freezing issues.

Leak Testing

Pressure Relief Valve

A new pressure relief valve, complying with the standard for pressure relief valves and automatic 

gas shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, must be installed at the hot water 

outlet connection of the tankless water heater at the time of installation. Local codes shall govern the 

installation of pressure relief valves.

The diagram below illustrates a pressure only relief valve. If local codes require a combination 

and pressure relief valve be installed, an extension piece may be required.

For safe operation of the water heater, be sure that:

• 

The pressure rating of the pressure relief valve must not 

exceed 150 psi, the maximum working pressure of the 

tankless water heater as marked on the rating plate.

• 

The BTUH rating of the pressure relief valve must equal 

or exceed the BTUH input of the tankless water heater as 

marked on its rating plate.

• 

No valve of any type should be installed between the 

pressure relief valve and the water heater.

• 

The discharge line must be NO SMALLER than the 

outlet of the valve and must pitch downward to allow 

complete drainage (by gravity) of the pressure relief 

valve and discharge line.

• 

The end of the discharge line should not be threaded or 

concealed. No valve of any type, restriction or reducer 

coupling should be installed in discharge line.

This water heater is for OUTDOOR installation ONLY. It must 

NOT be installed indoors or in a confined space.
An air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons may 

be safe to breathe, but when it passes through a gas flame 

corrosive elements are released that will shorten the life of 

any gas burning appliance. 
Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from 

A/C and refrigeration equipment are highly corrosive after 

passing through a flame and therefore should never be 

used around the water heater. 
The tankless water heater warranty is voided when failure of 

the heater is due to operation in a corrosive atmosphere.

Combustion and Ventilation Air

Warning!

Gasoline, as well as other flammable 

materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, 

paint thinners etc.), and the vapors 

they produce are extremely dangerous. 

DO NOT handle, use or store gasoline 

or other flammable or combustible 

materials anywhere near or in the vicinity 

of a water heater or any other appliance. 

Be sure to read and follow the labels on 

the water heater, as well as the warnings 

printed in this manual. Failure to do so 

can result in property damage, bodily 

injury or death.
