When connecting the hot water outlet and cold water inlet to building piping, first make sure the
mating surfaces are thoroughly clean. AERCO recommends using Loctite ® 7649 to prime the
mating surfaces and then Loctite 567 as pipe dope.
Do NOT use Teflon tape.
See Sections 2.12 and 2.13 for information on the flue vent and air intake.
