NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold
water fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-electric
unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when
connected to copper pipe.
Figure 16 shows the typical attachment of the water piping to
the water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4” NPT
water connections for 30, 40 and 50 gallon models.
FIGURE 16.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet
connection. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly
to the cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage
the tank.
• Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is
marked “HOT”. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around
the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and
around both ends of the 3/4” NPT threaded nipple. Using
standard pipe fittings, connect the hot water pipe to the hot
water outlet on the water heater.
• Look at the top of the water heater. The cold water inlet is
marked “COLD”. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around
the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and
around both ends of the 3/4” NPT threaded nipple. Using
standard pipe fittings, connect the cold water pipe to the
cold water inlet of the water heater.
NOTE: This water heater is super insulated to minimize
heat loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat loss
can be accomplished by insulating the hot water lines
from the water heater.
T & P Valve and Pipe Insulation
Remove insulation for T & P valve and pipe connections from
carton.
FIGURE 16A.
Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot
water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top
cover of the heater.
Fit T & P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation
does not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve.
Secure all insulation using tape.
Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve
This heater is provided with a properly certified combination
temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.
The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing
laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of
listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for
Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water
Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirements of
ASME.
If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local
codes, but not less than a combination temperature and
pressure relief valve certified as indicated in the above
paragraph.
