INSTALLATION

Completely read all instruc-

ons before beginning. If you

are not sure you can safely

complete the installa on, seek assis-
tance from any of the following sources:

• Lowe’s® Professional Installa

is available for this product and

the work is guaranteed. Call your
Lowe’s® store to have this water

heater installed.

• Schedule an appointment with

a quali

ed person to install your

water heater.

• Call our Technical Assistance Hotline

at 1-877-817-6750.
.

Install a metal drain pan that
is piped to an adequate drain.

Figure 23 -

Metal drain pan piped to drain.

Set the water heater in place

taking care not to damage the
drain pan. When installing

directly on carpet, the water heater
must be installed on a wood or metal
base that extends beyond the dimen-
sions of the water heater (width and

depth) by at least 3 inches (76.2 mm)

in any direc on. If the water heater is
installed on carpet in an alcove or
closet, the en re

oor must be covered

by a wood or metal panel.

NOTICE:

Most codes require se ng

the water heater in a metal drain pan

piped to an adequate drain. The drain

pan helps avoid property damage

which may occur from condensa on
or leaks in the piping connec ons or

tank. The drain pan must be at least

two inches wider than the diameter
of the water heater. Install the drain
pan so the water level is limited to a

maximum depth of 1-3/4”.

Verify that the water heater is

set in place properly. Check

that:

•

There is adequate space to install
the T&P Relief Valve discharge

pipe and that it can be piped to a
separate drain (and not into the
drain pan).

•

There is adequate access and

space around the water heater
for future maintenance.

The water heater is installed ver

cally.

Step 5:

Air Filter Installa on

Once you’ve posi oned the water
heater in the installa on area, install
the wrap-around air

lter (supplied with

the water heater). The wrap-around air

lter

ts around the base of the unit. Do

not operate the water heater without a
clean air

lter in place.

Before installing the Air Filter

Assembly, remove any dust,
lint or debris (including any

packaging materials or tape) from
under the water heater.

Installation: Wrap the filter
around the base of the water

heater. Cut to fit around a

sensor if present. Trim excess filter

material with scissors but allow filter
material to overlap a few inches (see

Figure 2).

The filter should fit snugly

against base of the water

heater with no gaps. The filter

must fit flush against the bottom of the

drain pan and/or floor. Hold the filter in

place, then stretch the filter clip over
the overlapped joint and hook in place
(see

Figure 24).

FLUSH FIT AGAINST BOTTOM
OF DRAIN PAN

AND/OR

FLOOR.

ATTACH FILTER CLIP AS
SHOWN HOLDING THE
AIR FILTER ASSEMBLY
IN PLACE.

NOTE: DRAIN PAN SHOWN
REMOVED FOR CLARITY.

OVERLAP

4”

(100 mm)

WRAP THE AIR FILTER ASSEMBLY
AROUND THE BOTTOM OF THE WATER
HEATER (NOTE: CLIP ON TOP EDGE).
