SACRIFICIAL ANODES —
Two sacrificial anode rods have been
installed in the tank head to extend tank life. The removal of any anodes,
except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. The
anode rods should be inspected annually to determine the amount of
sacrificial decay and replaced when necessary to prolong tank life. Water
conditions in your area will influence the time interval for inspection and
replacement of the anode rod. The use of a water softener may increase
the speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of the anode
is needed when using softened (or phosphate treated) water. Contact the
plumbing professional who installed the water heater or the
manufacturer, listed on the rating plate, for anode replacement
information.
WARNING
Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the
temperature and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches
above, or any distance below, the structural floor and cannot
contact any live electrical part. The discharge line is to be installed
to allow for complete drainage of both the temperature and pressure
relief valve and the discharge line. The discharge opening must not
be subjected to blockage or freezing.
DO NOT
thread, plug, or cap
the discharge line. It is recommended that a minimum clearance of
four (4) inches be provided on the side of the water heater for
servicing and maintenance of the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve
Do not place a valve between the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve and the tank!
