System piping

System water piping methods

Observe a minimum of 1/4 inch clearance around all 
un-insulated hot water pipes when openings around the pipes 
are not protected by non-combustible materials.  

General piping information

Basic steps are listed below along with illustrations on the 
following pages (FIG.’s 3-6 thru 3-10), which will guide you 
through the installation of the outdoor water heater.

1.  Connect the cold water supply to the inlet side of the water 

heater.  

2.  Connect the hot water supply to the outlet side of the water 

heater.  

3.   Install a backflow preventer on the cold feed make-up water 

line.

4.  Install the factory supplied pump as shown in FIG.’s 3-6 

thru 3-10.   If pump is installed outdoors use pump cover, 
reference the 

Pump Cover Installation

 section on this page. 

5.  Install an expansion tank on the system supply.  Consult the 

tank manufacturer’s instruction for specific information 
relating to tank installation.  Size the expansion tank for the 
required system volume and capacity.

6.   Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system.      

7.  This appliance is supplied with a relief valve sized in 

accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 
Section IV (“Heating Boilers”).  Pipe the discharge of the 
safety relief valve to a suitable drain to prevent injury in 
the event of pressure relief.  Pipe the discharge to a drain.  
Provide piping that is the same size as the safety relief valve 
outlet.  Never block the outlet of the safety relief valve.

See the *piping illustrations included in this section, FIG.’s 3-6 
thru 3-10 for suggested guidelines in piping the outdoor water 
heater.

*Please note that these illustrations are meant 
to show system piping concept only, the 
installer is responsible for all equipment and 
detailing required by local codes.

 NOTICE

Flow switch and relief valve installation

Basic steps are listed below to guide you through the installation 
of the flow switch and relief valve provided with the unit.

1.  Install the tee with the 3/4 inch fitting positioned vertically 
 

and on the top as shown in FIG. 3-3.

2.  Install the relief valve into the 3/4 inch fitting of the tee 
 

installed in Step 1 (FIG. 3-3).

3.  Install the close nipple on the downstream side of the 
 

temperature and pressure relief valve tee  (FIG. 3-3).  

4.  Install the tee with the 1 inch fitting positioned vertically 
 

and on the top (FIG. 3-3).

 WARNING

The relief valve, tee and other necessary 
fittings are shipped in the install kit with the 
water heater and are to be field installed.

Pump cover installation 

reference FIG.’s 3-1  and 3-2 for 

pump cover installation)

If the water heater was purchased with a pump, please follow 
the instructions below to install the pump and outdoor cover 
assembly.  If a field supplied pump is used, ensure that it 
is installed per the manufacturer’s specification in regard 
to indoor or outdoor location.  An outdoor rated pump is 
recommended.

1.  Locate the pump, pump cover assembly, flange kit and 
 

additional mounting nuts.

2.  Before installing the pump, ensure the intended piping 
 

location allows room for the sheet metal cover assembly 

 without 

interference.

3.  Install the pump with the provided flanges and hardware.

4.  Mount the pump cover base sheet metal aligning the holes 
 

for the piping and the bolts.

5.  Using additional nuts, secure the sheet metal to the pump 
 bolts.

6.  Install the sheet metal top on the base with the provided 
 screws 

(10x).
