Plumbing Installation

2

CAUTION!  To avoid water damage, install a drain 

pipe from the pressure relief valve to 
an unrestricted drain.

B

Install one union on the water inlet side of the 
heater and another union upstream of the 100 
Mesh (150 micron) y-strainer .
Install one union on the water outlet side of the 
heater and another after the P & T Relief Valve .
Install one union on the TepidGuard

 discharge outlet .

Install the pressure relief valve (150 psi) and outlet 
plumbing of heater per code requirements and 
route relief valve discharge to drain . Make sure no 
shutoff valve is between the relief valve discharge 
and the drain .

C

Use 1-1/4" hard copper tubing or pipe as needed . 

A

Install shutoff valve above (upstream of) the heater .

Failure to install proper filtration may result 
in a flow sensor malfunction.

See Figure 2 for reference and suggested 
installation configuration.

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:

•  (5) Union 1-1/4"
•  Shutoff Valve
•  Pressure and Temperature Relief Valve (150 psi)
•  Y-Strainer (100 mesh) or Inline Filter (150 microns)
•  (2) Gate or Ball Type Valves
•  Drain pipe
•  Elbows, nipples and fittings as needed
