OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before  proceeding  with  the  operation  of  the  heater  make
sure that the system is filled with water.
Open the cold water inlet supply to the heater fully.
Open a hot water faucet to permit the water to fill the heater
and the piping and to eliminate the air trapped in the system
Close the hot water faucet after the water flows freely and
all the air has escaped from the system. The water heater is
now ready to operate.

FOR  YOU R  SAF ET Y  R EAD  B E FOR E
OPERATING YOUR HOT WATER HEATER

Warning: If you do not follow these instructions exactly,
a fire or explosion may result causing property damage,
personal injury or loss of life.

A.

This  appliance  is  equipped  with  electronic  ignition  for

lighting the pilot and main burners. When turning the heater
on, follow these instructions exactly.

B.

Before operating the unit, set the On/Off switch to the

On (

) position. The On/Off switch is located behind

the flip-down coverplate on the front panel strip. Smell all
around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to
the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle
on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Do not try to light any appliance.
- Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone

in your building

- Immediately  call  your  gas  supplier  from  a  neighbor’s

phone. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

- If  you  cannot  reach  your  gas  supplier,  call  the  fire

department.

C.

Use only your hand to push in the on/off control button.

Never use tools. Follow these instructions exactly. If control
button is jammed, close the gas supply and call a qualified
service technician. Attempted forceful repair may result in a
fire or explosion.

D.

Do  not  use  this  appliance  if  any  part  has  been  under

water.  Immediately  call  a  qualified  service  technician  to
inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control which has been under water.

WATER CONNECTIONS

Install  the  heater  centrally  in  the  building  if  possible  and
make hot water piping runs as short as possible When facing
the heater, the cold water inlet will be on the right and the
hot water outlet on the left.
Although water piping throughout the building may be other
than copper, copper or galvanized piping should be used
when connecting to the heaters ½” male NPT flex connectors
(follow local codes if more stringent). Plastics or other PEX
type plumbing line materials are not suitable for connecting
directly to the water heater. Keep water inlet pipe to no less
than ½” (19.05mm) diameter to allow the full flow capacity.
If the cold and hot connections to the heater are reversed,
the heater will not function.
The  425  HN  is  provided  with  one  flexible  type  connector
that must be connected to the cold inlet fitting of the water
valve  as  shown  in  Fig.  6.  The  union  end  of  the  flexible
connector should be attached to the rear inlet port of the
water valve with the supplied washer gasket. No pipe dope
or thread tape is to be used at this joint. The ½” flexible hot
water outlet line is supplied attached to the heater.
Be certain there are no loose particles or dirt in the piping.
Blow out or flush the lines before connecting to the water
heater. Full port valves should be installed on both the cold
water supply and hot water outlet lines to facilitate servicing
the  heater  (see  Fig.  7).  For  installation  on  a  private  well
system with the use of a pressure tank, the lowest pressure
range setting recommended is 30-50 psi (2.07-3.45 bar).

Fig. 6 - Water valve - top view

Connecting the pressure relief valve (PRV)

A listed pressure relief valve supplied with the heater must
be  installed  at  the  time  of  installation.  No  valve  is  to  be
placed  between  the  PRV  and  the  heater.  No  reducing
coupling or other restriction may be installed in the discharge
line.
The  discharge  line  must  be  installed  such  that  it  allows
complete drainage of both the PRV and the line.
The  location  of  the  PRV  must  be  readily  accessible  for
servicing or replacement, and be mounted as close to the
water  heater  as  possible.  See  Fig  7.  To  install  the  PRV,  a
suitable  fitting  connected  to  an  extension  on  a  “T”  fitting
can be sweated to the hot water line.
Support all piping.
