MATERIALS AND BASIC TOOLS NEEDED 

DECIDING ON THE TYPE OF INSTALLATION

 

There are typically two different types of installation. The installation section of this manual has been broken into these two methods. 
Look at your old water heater installation to determine which type of installation you have. After finding out what type of installation 
you have, look at these options: 

Section A

Galvanized Pipe or Copper (Sweat) Piping

The original piping is galvanized pipe or sweat copper

and you are going to use a "Water Heater Installation

Kit".

Section B

Copper (Sweat) Piping

The original piping is copper sweat and you are going

to reconnect with sweat joints.
