WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS
Plumbing should be carried out by a qualified plumber in accordance with local codes. Use approveplumbing
materials and tools only.
Install a check valve between the water heater and the water shutoff valve. (See illustration below).
To conserve energy and to prevent freezing, insulate both cold and hot water supply lines. DO NOT cover the
drain valves.
Install a shutoff valve near the inlet of the water heater for service and draining purposes. Before connecting
the water supply pipe to the water heater, open the shutoff valve ·and clean out sand, debris, air, caulking
material, etc. inside the pipe. Connect to the water inlet, then check water flow. Close the shutoff valve and
clean the water filter.
If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backflow preventer in the
cold water supply line, means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or
local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.
CAUTION
This water heater must only be used with the following water supply system conditions:
• With clean, potable water free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, or other contaminates.
• With inlet water temperatures above 32°F, but not to exceed 90°F.
• Free of lime and scale deposits.
• DO NOT reverse the hot and cold water connections. The water heater will not operate.
To ensure proper operation of the water heater, the following water pressure guidelines should be followed:
• Operation of the water heater requires the minimum water pressure of 14 PSI and a minimum water flow rate
of 0.8 GPM.
• Additional water pressure is required for long pipe runs and outlet fitting(s) water pressure drops.
• To maintain proper performance, ensure sufficient water supply pressure. The Required Water Pressure=Min.
Operating Water Pressure (14 PSI) + Pipe Pressure Loss + Faucet and Shower Pressure Loss + Safety Margin
(more than 5 PSI).
• To supply hot water to upper floors, additional water pressure (0.44 PSI/ft) must be ensured. The
measurement should be calculated by the distance between the water inlet of the water heater (ground level)
to the hot water faucet (upper floor level).
• Well water systems should be set at a range of 50-60 PSI.
• When the water is supplied from a water supply tank, the height of the tank and the diameter of the pipes
and their relation to water pressure, should be taken into consideration. Gravity water pressure is not recom
mended.
