Water Supply Connections

Refer to the illustration on right for 

suggested typical installation. The 

installation of unions or flexible 

copper connectors is recommended 

on the hot and cold water connections 

so that the water heater may be 

easily disconnected for servicing if 

necessary. The HOT and COLD water 

connections are clearly marked and 

are 3/4

 NPT on all models. Install a 

shut-off valve in the cold water line 

near the water heater.
The cold water connection, hot water 

connection, and the temperature 

and pressure relief valve may be 

temporarily disconnected from the unit 

to ease installation by loosening the 

union hex nuts connecting the fittings 

to the water heater.  The connection of 

these parts to the unit use seal rings to 

form a water tight connection.  Re-use 

the rubber seal rings that are provided 

with the heater when re-installing 

the components.  Do NOT use pipe 

sealant on this joint.  Do NOT torque 

the union hex nuts to over 35 ft-lbs 

when reinstalling the components.  

Failure to properly reconnect the 

fittings provided with the water heater 

will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

SOLDER WITH CARE!!!  

If 

sweat connections are used, do NOT 

apply heat directly to any component 

directly connected to the water 

heater.  This includes the cold water 

connection, hot water connection, 

temperature and pressure relief valve 

and the drain valve.  Assemblies 

should be built to a minimum length 

of 12” before attaching to the water 

heater to avoid damaging the unit.

!

WARNING:

 

Failure to follow the 

instructions provided in this manual 

may permanently damage the unit and 

void the manufacturer’s warranty.

NOTICE:  Do not 

attempt to turn any 

fitting connected to the 

water heater union hex 

nuts that are tightened.  

Doing so will damage 

the water heater and 

void the manufacturer’s 

warranty.

NOTICE:  Auxiliary 

catch pan MUST 

conform to local codes.

The water heater should not be 

located in an area where leakage of 

the tank or connections will result in 

damage to the area adjacent to it or to 

lower floors of the structure. Where 

such areas cannot be avoided, it is 

recommended that a suitable catch 

pan, adequately drained, be installed 

under the water heater.

Under no circumstance will the 

manufacturer be held liable for any 

water damage in connection with 

this water heater.

Catch pan kits are available from 

the store where the water heater 

was purchased, or any water heater 

distributor.

Drain Pan

To Fill the Water Heater

Make certain the drain valve is completely 

closed. 
Open the shut-off valve in the cold water 

supply line.

Open each hot water faucet slowly to 

allow the air to vent from the water  

heater and piping. 
A steady flow of water from the hot water 

faucet(s) indicates a full water heater.

!

WARNING: The tank must 

be full of water before heater 

is turned on. The water heater 

warranty does not cover 

damage or failure resulting 

from operation with an empty 

or partially empty tank.

NOTICE:  Water heater 

must be centered in 

drain pan.
