Water Supply Connections Continued....

In regards to the HOT WATER OUTLET:

• 

Connections between the water heater and point(s) of use should 

be as short and direct as possible.

•  DO NOT use lead or non-approved plastic pipe.
•  To conserve energy and minimize heat loss, insulation of hot 

water piping is recommended.

NOTICE: The flow rate of hot water may vary when more than two 

faucets (appliances, fixtures, etc.) are being used simultaneously.

NOTICE: The pipes MUST be completely drainable. If the hot water 

faucets are located at a point higher than the water heater, place a 

drain valve at the lowest point (see diagram to the left).

A new pressure relief valve, complying with the Standard for 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 water 

heater at the time of installation. Local codes shall govern the installation of relief valves.

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

•   The pressure rating of the relief valve must not exceed 150 psi, the maximum working pressure of the water 

heater as marked on the rating plate.

•   The BTUH rating of the relief valve must equal or exceed the BTUH input of the water heater as marked on its 

rating plate.

•   No valve of any type should be installed between the relief valve and the water heater.

•   Discharge from the relief valve should be piped to a suitable drain to eliminate potential water damage. Piping 

used should be of a type approved for the distribution of hot water.

•   Hot and cold water lines should be insulated up to 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 relief valve and discharge line.

•   The end of the discharge line should not be threaded or concealed and should be protected from freezing. No 

valve of any type, restriction or reducer coupling should be installed in discharge line.

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

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

Relief Valve

NOTICE:

 

Local codes govern the installation of relief 

valves. If local codes require that a temperature 

and pressure relief valve should be installed the 

manufacturer recommends a type 40XL Watts T&P 

relief valve or an equivalent model be used.

NOTICE: 

Manual operation of relief valves should be 

performed at least once a year. Turn off the electrical 

power and gas shutoff valve. Lift and release lever 

on the relief valve and check the manual operation of 

the relief valve. You should take precaution to avoid 

contact with the hot water coming out of the relief 

valve and to prevent water damage.

NOTICE:

 

If the relief valve on the system discharges 

periodically, this may be due to thermal expansion 

in a closed water supply system. Contact the water 

supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to 

correct this situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
