PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Connect the cold-water inlet pipe to the inlet nipple (marked with a blue
ring) and the hot water outlet pipe to the outlet nipple (marked with a
red ring).
IMPORTANT:
If Water pipes are copper or bronze, use dielectric
connections to prevent corrosion. Failure to provide dielectric insulation
may result in premature tank or nipple failure and may void your
warranty. Ensure that the water heater is installed in a level position.
Install a shut off valve on the cold water side of the water heater. The
valve is for servicing and the valve should be in the open position when
the water heater is in operation. In order to protect the water heater
from heat damage due to soldering, solder a piece of tubing to a
threaded UNION fitting before screwing the UNION to the tank.
DO NOT APPLY HEAT DIRECTLY TO INLET OR OUTLET CONNECTIONS.
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE:
CAUTION!: Install the Temperature/Pressure Relief Valve
supplied with the water heater!
Install a discharge pipe from the temperature/pressure relief
valve terminating at a sink or drain. DO NOT CAP OR PLUG THE
END OF THE DISCHARGE PIPE. THE DISCHARGE PIPE MUST BE
UNOBSTRUCTED AND FULLY SIZED.
A nationally recognized test lab that maintains periodic inspections of the
listed equipment and meets the requirements for relief valves certifies the
T/P valve and automatic shut off devices for hot water supply systems
ANSI 121.22-1979.
The T/P valve is marked with a maximum pressure, which does not
exceed the maximum working pressure of the water heater (150 PSI).
Install the T /P valve into the threaded opening at the top of the
water heater and orient the discharge tubing so that any discharge
from the valve will exit within 6 inches above, or at any
distance below the structural floor, and cannot contact any live
electrical part.
