PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
To fill the water heater with water;
Be certain there are no loose particles or dirt in the
piping. Keep a copper pipe diameter at NPT 3/4 inch
diameters to allow the full flow. If the hot and cold
connections are reversed, the heater will not work
properly and could damage the unit. Be sure to con-
nect them correctly.
CAUTION
! !
The temperature-pressure relief valve should be
manually opened once a year.
CAUTION
! !
No one is in front of or around the outlet of the
temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line
when in use.
If after manually opening the valve and it fails to
completely reset and continues to release water,
immediately close the cold water inlet to the
water heater, follow the draining instructions,
and replace the temperature-pressure relief valve
with a new one. The discharge capacity must
be at least 236,000 BTU/HR for GU32DV (199,
000 BTU/HR for GU28DV, 180,000BTU/HR for
GU26DV and 145,000 BTU/HR for GU20DV).
FILLING THE WATER
Never use this hot water heater unless it
is completely filled with water.
To prevent damage to the tank, the tank must be
filled with water. Water must flow from the hot
water faucet before turning "ON" gas to the water
heater.

Water Supply Connection
Water pipe line joint:
Pipe joint sealing compound or dope should be used
sparingly for sealing threaded joints on metal piping
having NPT tapered thread.
Care should be taken to ensure that:

For Installations in the State of California:
Close the water heater drain valve by turning the
knob to the right. The drain valve is on the lower
front of the water heater.
Open the cold water supply valve to the water
heater.
To ensure complete filling of the tank, allow air to
purge by opening the nearest hot water faucet. Al-
low water to run until a constant flow is obtained.
This will let air out of the water heater and piping.
Check all new water piping for leaks. Repair as
needed.
CAUTION
! !
California Law requires that residential water
heaters must be braced, anchored or strapped to
resist falling or horizontal displacement due to
earthquake motions. A brochure with generic
earthquake bracing information can be obtained
from: Office of the State Architect, 400P Street,
Sacramento, CA 95814 or you may call 916-445-
8100.

DRAINING THE WATER
Do not open the draining valve without connecting
a hose so that water can be diverted to an area
where water damage is not a problem. Do not
remove the draining valve from the unit without
first draining the tank.
! !
CAUTION
Connect garden hose to the draining valve located on
the bottom right of the unit.
Open the valve by using a flat head screw driver to
drain water with the hose.
After draining the tank, turn the valve body to remove
the draining valve from the unit and clean the filter.
If local codes require the water heater to be raised
18 ” above the floor, please install GU20DV/GU26DV
on at least 6.5 ” platform. GU28DV/GU32DV does
not need to be raised as its igniters and burner are
at least 18" above floor. Eternal is FVIR compliant.
