Pre-Mounting Steps
1. SHUT OFF ELECTRICITY ON YOUR CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE PROCEEDING TO ANY FURTHER
INSTALLATION STEPS.
2. Make sure there is at least 14 inches of straight pipe clearance above the tank heater. This is the
required room in order for the unit to effectively connect in series with the tank and outlet pipe.
3. Close the supply water valve to the tank heater. In most cases, this is located above the tank heater
on the cold water inlet side. You must do this to drain your system.
4. Open the drain valve of the water tank to let the tank completely deplete of water. The drain valve
is usually located near the bottom of the tank.
5. Drain the water from all existing hot water pipes by first opening all hot water faucets of any kind
in the house. Leave the faucets open until plumbing installation is complete. If water does not stop
flowing, check to make sure the inlet water to the tank heater has been completely shut off.
6. Assess your plumbing system before you cut the pipe – possible plumbing layouts on the following
