Shut-off Valves –

 Allows isolation of water heater from domestic water system and/or solar heating 

system during service. 

2.

 

Unions –

 Allows water heater movement during service if adequate clearance cannot be provided. 

3.

 

Thermal Expansion Tank –

 If the water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as 

one having a back-flow preventer in the cold water line, provide thermal expansion control.  Contact 
the water supplier or local plumbing inspector for additional information.   

 
MOVE THE WATER HEATER TO A PERMANENT POSITION

 

BY SLIDING OR WALKING. 

 

 
 

 

CAUTION

 

This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank, water line connections, or the temperature 
and pressure relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater/storage unit or to lower 
floors of the structure.  When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the 
water heater/storage unit.  The drain pan depth must be suitable for draining and collecting water.  The drain pan 
can be purchased from your plumbing professional.  The drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain.  The piping 
must be at least ¾ inch in diameter and pitched for proper drainage. 

 

 

CAUTION

 

Do not drop water heater.  Do not bump water heater jacket against floor.
