Supply
• Turn off the water supply.
• Cut a hole approximately 1-1/2" dia. within
the shaded area to admit the water line.
Access holes must be round and smooth.
• Install a hand shut-off valve in the hot water
supply line in an accessible location, such as
under the sink. (The shut-off valve is op-
tional, but recommended and may be
required in some local codes.)
• Install the hot water inlet line, using no less
than 3/8" O.D. copper tubing or 1/2" O.D.
plastic tubing.
• The water line must be long enough to form
a smooth natural loop with no sharp bends
or kinks between the cutout entry and fill
valve location. For a left side entry, allow
approximately 30" length. For a right side
entry, allow approximately 40" length.
• Extend the water line forward to approxi-
mate fill valve location.
• Adjust the water heater to deliver 120
