INSTALLATION
6
Check inlet and outlet
connec ons and water pipes
for leaks. Dry pipes connec-
ons so that any drips or leaks will be
apparent. Repair any leaks. Almost all
leaks occur at connec ons and are not
a tank leak.
Step 10:
Install Dra Hood
1
Install the new dra hood by
aligning the legs and inser ng
them into the slots provided
on top of the water heater. Do not reuse
the dra hood from the old water
heater, but rather use the new one that
came with your new water heater.
2
Secure the dra hood using
the four screws provided.
A ach the home’s exis ng
vent pipe to the dra hood outlet
using an approved vent adapter (not
supplied).
Figure 30 - Install the new draft hood and secure
with screws.
3
Secure the vent adapter to the
dra hood with sheet metal
screws. Read the Ven ng
sec on on page 11. Make sure your
home’s ven ng system complies with
the instruc ons in this manual and is in
good condi on.
Step 11:
Make Gas Connec ons
The Gas Water Heater Hook-Up Kit
(available at your local plumbing sup-
plier) includes a
fl exible gas connector
with compression fi ngs to connect
the home’s gas line to the water
heater’s gas control valve. Follow the
kit’s installa on instruc ons to a ach
the
fl exible gas connector.
Figure 31 - Flexible gas line connector.
Once you’ve made the gas connec-
ons, use a small, so -bristled brush
to apply a hand dishwashing soap
and water mixture or children’s soap
bubbles (1 part soap to 15 parts water)
to all connec on points of the gas line
and
fl exible gas connector (if used).
Make sure to generously coat all the
connec ons and check for gas leaks
(which will appear as small bubbles).
If any leaks are detected, turn the gas
supply o
ff , ghten the leaking connec-
on and re-check.
