Cutting the Copper Hot Water Pipe – Layout C
Please follow all pre-installation instructions carefully. We recommend that this product be installed by a
qualified homeowner. If further assistance is needed, a licensed and qualified plumber in accordance with
all applicable national, state, provincial, and local plumbing codes should be hired.
This set-up addresses the issue of not having free space to vertically move the hot water pipe up in order to
make a secure connection. This typically occurs if there is very low ceiling height or the copper pipe is
braced or restricted.
In order to install your unit, you will need to purchase an intermediate hose.
We recommend using a
¾” Repair Hose Push Fitting
. This type
of hose has Push-to-Connect fittings on either side, and can be
used efficiently for this application.
Hoses such as the one
shown can be purchased at a low cost at most home center
stores.
An alternative recommendation is to purchase
a water heater
installation kit
. This could also help with the installation process such as
Layout C.
A kit such as the one shown can be purchased at a low cost
at most home center stores.
This method of installation requires more experience and judgment from the homeowner, because each
household may have a moderately different layout in this situation.
For further installation assistance, please call or email our customer service and technical support team for
any help you may need.
