PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

THIS VALVE IS A SAFETY COMPONENT AND 

MUST NOT BE REMOVED FOR ANY REASON 

OTHER THAN REPLACEMENT. 

This water heater is 

equipped with a pressure relief valve that complies with the 

standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff 

Devices for Hot Water Systems, ANSI Z21.22 / CSA 4.4.

This valve protects against excessive water expansion only. 

This water heater has separate and dedicated protection for 

excessive heat.

If you use a discharge line, do not use a reducing coupling or 

other restriction smaller than the outlet of the relief valve. 

Allow complete drainage of both valve and line.

FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS:

DO NOT install anything less than a pressure relief 

valve certified by a nationally recognized testing 

laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of 

product of listed equipment or materials, as meeting 

requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas 

Shutoff Devices of Hot Water Supply Systems, 

ANSI Z21.22 / CSA 4.4. Valve must have 

maximum set pressure

 not to exceed 100 psi.

Install replacement valve into opening provided and 

designated for this purpose on water heater.

Installation must conform with local codes or in the 

absence of local codes, Standard on Recreational 

Vehicles, ANSI A119.2 or CAN/CSA-Z240RV.

dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after servicing.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The appliance, when installed, must be 
electrically grounded in accordance with local 
codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the 
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and/or 
the CSA C22.1, Canadian Electrical Code.

It is required that the unit be connected through a switch that 

is connected directly to a 12V DC battery or to the filtered 

side of an AC/DC converter. Avoid unfiltered “linear” 

voltage sources. Use a minimum of 18 gauge wire, UL and 

CSA Listed.

Refer to the 

Wiring Diagram

. Install a remote switch in a 

convenient location. Position the wall plate with the letters 

up. Before making the connections, turn the switch to the 

OFF position.
