(828 kPa).
Minimum Flow Rate Required

electrical codes.
Minimum Inlet Pipe Size

Well water recommended minimum inlet pipe
size 3/4" I.D. (19 mm). Municipal water recommended minimum inlet pipe
size is 1/2" I.D. (12.7 mm).
Installation Cautions
Do not install if the above items are not satisfactory.
Do not install if incoming or outlet piping water temperature exceeds
120°F (49°C).
