inlet

NOTICE!  Failure to install proper filtration may 

result in a flow switch malfunction.

NOTICE!  To avoid water damage, install a drain 

pipe from the pressure relief valve to 
an unrestricted drain.

If end use fixture is not at the highest point in 
the plumbing loop, then an automatic air vent 
valve must be added at the highest point in the 
system or at any drop to eliminate trapped air.

Components Needed:

•  (2) Union 3/4"
•  Shutoff Valve
•  Pressure and Temperature Relief Valve (150 psi/10 bar)
•  Y-Strainer (100 mesh) or Inline Filter (150 microns)
•  (2) Gate or Ball Type Valves
•  Drain pipe
•  Water hammer arrestor (recommended)
•  Elbows, nipples and fittings as needed

Install one union on the water inlet side of the 
heater . Install one 100 Mesh (150 micron) Y-strainer 
above (upstream of) union .
Install one union on the water outlet side of the heater . 
Install one P & T Relief Valve above (downstream of)
union .
Install the pressure relief valve (150 psi/10 bar) and 
outlet plumbing of heater per code requirements and 
route relief valve discharge to drain . Make sure no 
shutoff valve is between the water heater outlet and 
the relief valve, as well as no shutoff valve between 
the relief valve discharge and drain . Install hammer 
arrestor . Ensure plumbing is secure and not subject 
to vibrations .

CAUTION  To avoid damage to the electronics 

or internal wiring, do not perform any 
brazing or sweat soldering inside the 
enclosure.
