PLEASE NOTE: THIS MANUAL IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AT ANYTIME, TO ENSURE THIS MANUAL IS UP TO DATE PLEASE VISIT OUR HELPDESK AT WWW.ECCOTEMP.COM
FOR ALL OF OUR PRODUCT MANUALS.
PLEASE NOTE: THIS MODEL IS FOR INDOOR PERMANENT INSTALLATIONS ONLY.
The supplied Manual Gas
Appliance Shutoff Valve
must be installed at the
gas connection of the
water heater at the time of
installation (see diagram to
the left).
The branch gas supply line to
the water heater should be
clean black steel pipe or other
approved gas piping material.
A ground joint union or ANSI
design certied semi-rigid
or exible gas appliance
connector should be installed
in the gas line close to the
water heater.
The National Fuel Gas
Code (NFGC) mandates a
manual gas shut-off valve:
See (NFGC) for complete
instructions.
A sediment trap should be installed at the
bottom of the gas line.
The inlet gas pressure to the water heater
must not exceed 10.5“ w.c. for natural
or 14” w.c. for LP gas. For purposes of
input adjustment, the minimum inlet gas
pressure (with main burner on) is shown on
the water heater rating plate. If high or low
gas pressures are present, contact your
gas supplier for correction
The appliance and its individual shutoff
valve must be disconnected from the gas
supply piping system during any pressure
testing of that system at test pressures
in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The appliance
must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual
shutoff valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5
kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the
gas supply piping system by closing its
individual manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping
system at test pressures equal to or less
than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
WARNING:
Never use an open
ame to test
for gas leaks, as
property damage,
personal injury, or
death could result.
Gas Supply
WARNING: Do not attempt to convert this water heater for use with a different type of gas other than the
type shown on the rating plate. Such conversion could result in hazardous operating conditions. Please have a
professional connect the gas pipe.
The water heater and its gas connections must be leak tested at normal
operating pressures before it is placed in operation.
• Turn on the gas shut-off valve(s) to the water heater.
• Use a commercial leak detector or soapy water solution to test for leaks
at all connections and ttings. Bubbles indicate a gas leak that must be
corrected.
All connections should also be leak tested after the water heater is placed
in operation.
DO NOT use excessive force (over 31.5 ft lbs.) in
tightening the pipe, particularly if pipe compound is
used, as the unit may be damaged.
Compound used on the threaded joints of the gas
piping must be of the type resistant to the action of
LP gas. Use compound sparingly and use on male
threads only.
Pressure Testing the Gas Supply System
WARNING: Install a gas pressure regulator, in the gas supply line, which does not
exceed the maximum supply pressure. DO NOT use an industrial type gas regulator.
The water heater must be isolated from the gas piping system by closing the manual gas
shut-off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping at pressures equal to or
less than 1/2 psi (14’w.c.) .
High Altitude
Ratings of gas appliances are based on sea level operation and need not be changed for installations
at elevations up to 2,000 feet. Unit not recommended for elevations in excess of 2,000 feet
