The plumbing installation should consider the following:
•
All fittings on The WaterHeater™ by ITR require two wrenches
when tightening. One wrench must be placed on the tank
fitting and held in place to prevent this fitting from being
overstressed. The other wrench can be used to tighten the
matching half of the fitting onto it. Failure to follow this
procedure will damage The WaterHeater™ by ITR and the
fittings.
•
For connecting the hot water heater to the Space Heating
Module, if installed, see Section 9 – Installing the Space
Heating Module.
•
All fittings, hose and/or tubing involving the domestic water
must be approved for use with domestic water and rated for
the domestic water system pressure. The working pressure
limit of The WaterHeater™ by ITR tank is 150 psi.

Do not operate The
WaterHeater™ by
ITR until water is in
the WaterHeater™
and heating system,
and all trapped air
has been bled.
