A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO LIFE AND
PROPERTY MAY EXIST IN ANY WATER HEATER IF AN
APPROVED TEMPERATURE-AND-PRESSURE RELIEF
VALVE IS NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED.
CAUTION:
For protection against excessive pressures and
temperatures in this water heater, install temperature-and-
pressure protective equipment required by local codes, but not
less than a combination temperature-and-pressure relief valve
certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that
maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment of
materials, as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and
Automatic Gas Shutoff for Hot Water Supply Systems. ANSI
Z21.22.1971. This valve must be marked with a maximum set
pressure not to exceed the marked maximum allowable working
pressure of the water heater (150psi). Install the valve into an
opening provided and marked for this purpose in the water heater,
and orient it or provide tubing so that any discharge from the
valve will exit only within 6 inches above, or at any distance below
the structural floor and cannot contact any live electrical part. The
discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under
any circumstances.
