INSTALLATION

3

For water heaters that are fed 
by a solar water hea  ng 
system (or any other pre-

hea  ng system), always install a 
Thermosta  c Mixing Valve or other 
temperature limi  ng device in the 
inlet water supply line to limit water 
supply inlet temperature to 120°F. 
Solar water hea  ng systems can 
supply water with temperatures 
exceeding 180°F and may result in 
water heater malfunc  on.

WARNING! Hot water provided by 

solar hea  ng systems can cause 
severe burns instantly, resul  ng in 
severe injury or death.

Step 8:

Connect the Water
Supply

Note that all piping and components 
connected to the water heater must 
be suitable for use with potable water.

1

Determine the type of water 
pipes in your home. Most 
homes use copper water 

pipes, but some use CPVC or cross-
linked polyethylene (PEX). Use fi    ngs 
appropriate for the type of pipe in 
your home. Do not use iron or PVC 
pipe.

2

Connect the cold water 
supply using 3/4 inch 

Na  onal Pipe Thread “NPT” to the 
fi    ng marked “C” (COLD). 

For ease of removing the water heater 
for service or replacement, con-
nect the water pipes with a coupling 
called a union. We recommend using 
a dielectric-type union (available at 
your local plumbing supplier). Dielec-
tric unions can help prevent corro-
sion caused by   ny electric currents 
common in copper water pipes and 
can help extend the life of the water 
heater.

IF YOU HAVE COPPER PIPES:

If your home has copper water pipes, 
you can solder the water pipe connec-

 ons or use compression fi    ngs which 

don’t require soldering. Compression 
fi    ngs are easier to install than solder-
ing pipe. Check with local plumbing 
offi

  cials to determine what types of 

pipe materials are suitable for your 
loca  on. Do not use lead-based solder. 

NOTICE:

 Do not solder pipes while 

they are a  ached to the water heater. 
The water heater’s inlet and outlet 

connec  ons contain non-metallic parts 
which could be damaged. The proper 
way to connect the water heater to 
copper water pipes is as follows: 

•  Solder a short length of pipe (about 

a foot or so) to a threaded adapter 
using only 95/5   n-an  mony or 
equivalent solder. A  ach the thread-
ed adapters to the water heater’s 
connec  ons (using thread sealant 
tape or pipe joint compound). Con-
nect the home’s water pipes by sol-
dering, keeping the connec  ons at 
the water heater cool with wet rags. 

Compression fi    ngs don’t require soldering.
