INSTALLATION GUIDE
NOTE : THIS WATER HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED TO MEET THE CURRENT NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE,
AND ANY APPLICABLE LOCAL PLUMBING, ELECTRICAL, HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING CODES AS
WELL AS THE FOLLOWING MANUFACTURER’S REQUIREMENTS:
WARNING : YOUR ECCOTEMP MUST BE INSTALLED AND SERVICED BY QUALIFIED PERSONNEL. DAMAGE
TO YOUR UNIT, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH MAY OCCUR IF INSTALLED OR HANDLED
IMPROPERLY. CARE MUST ALWAYS BE USED TO AVOID ELECTRICAL ACCIDENTS WHEN INSTALLING
OR SERVICING. NEVER USE PARTS THAT ARE NOT ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT OR APPROVED ALTERNATE

GENERAL
Unpack the water heater from the shipping carton carefully. DO NOT CUT THE SHIPPING CARTON
WITH A SHARP INSTRUMENT . Stand the unit upright and remove the plastic wrap. Locate the four (4)
mounting holes in the metal back plate. Position the unit against the wall with the two inlet and outlet
fitting tubes pointed up toward the ceiling. Refer to Mounting Clearances in this section of the manual.
Make sure the unit is level and attach to the wall with inch or larger lag bolts that are at least 1 ½
inches long. If attaching to sheet-rock or paneling, anchors or molly bolts should be used to prevent
the screws from pulling through the wall. If the water heater is to be installed on a cinder block or
concrete wall, attach a ½ or ¾ inch section of plywood (20 x 20 inches square) to the wall first, then
use wood screws to attach the water heater to the plywood.
PROPERTY DAMAGE PROTECTION
WHEN INSTALLING THE Eccotemp IN ANY AREA THAT IS NOT READILY VISIBLE OR ROUTINELY
MONITORED INCLUDING CLOSETS, CABINETS, ATTICS OR ANY OTHER AREAS WHERE LEAKS OF ANY
NATURE COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, A 150-PSI MAXIMUM PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WITH
DRAIN LINE AND A DRAIN PAN AND DRAIN LINE SUITABLE FOR CONTAINING THE FLOW OF WATER
PROVIDED BY THE SUPPLY LINE MUST BE INSTALLED. WHEN LEAVING YOUR HOME FOR MORE THAN
TWO DAYS, TURN OFF THE SUPPLY WATER OR ALTERNATIVELY THE POWER TO THE HEATER.
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
ATTACHING THE WATER SUPPLY
WARNING #1: Always use two wrenches when making any attachments of the water supply. Hold
the water heater’s inlet and outlet fittings secure while attaching the cold water and hot water lines.
Never attempt to attach water lines to the heater’s fittings without using a second wrench to hold the
fittings secure. The heater’s inlet and outlet fittings are designed to turn freely.
WARNING #2: Never solder water supply lines to the water heater’s fittings. Heat from the soldering
may damage the heat exchanger.
WARNING #3: Do not use Plumber’s Putty or PVC/CPVC primer and glue on the threads of the water
heater’s inlet and outlet fittings. Some of the putty compounds on the market are very aggressive
and could potentially dissolve the threads on the heater’s fittings. PVC/CPVC primer and glue will also
dissolve the threads on the heater’s fittings. Teflon Tape is the only sealer that should be used on the
threads of the inlet and outlet fittings.
