G. Pressure Relief Valve
An external pressure relief valve must be installed on this water heater. When installing, observe the following guidelines. Failure to comply
with these guidelines can result in substantial property damage, personal injury, or death.
This water heater must be provided with an approved 150 psi, ¾” ASME HV Valve that must be installed on the DHW outlet line. The 150 psi
Pressure Relief Valve must be installed on the DHW outlet line to ensure a compliant installation and safe operation.
This water heater has a high-temperature shut-off switch built in as a standard safety feature. Therefore, a “pressure only” relief valve is
