• To supply hot water to upper oors,

additional water pressure (0.44 psi/ft)

must be ensured.The measurement should

be calculated by the distance between the

water inlet of the water heater (ground

level) to the hot water faucet (upper oor level).

• Well water systems should be set at a

range of 50-60 psi.

• When the water is supplied from a water

supply tank, the height of the tank and the

diameter of the pipes and their relation to

water pressure, should be taken into

consideration. Gravity water pressure is

not recommended.

NOTICE: If the water ow resistance of a shower

head is too high, the burner in the water heater

will fail to ignite. Keep the shower head clean from

debris that could cause additional pressure drop.

NOTICE: If using mixing valves on the outlet,

choose one which prevents cold water pressure

from overcoming hot water line pressure.

IMPORTANT: Do not apply heat to the HOT or

COLD water connections. Any heat applied to the

water supply ttings will permanently damage the

internal components of the water heater.

Water Supply Connections

Plumbing should be carried out by a qualied

plumber in accordance with local codes.

Use approved plumbing materials and tools only.

To conserve energy and to prevent freezing,

insulate both cold and hot water supply lines. DO

NOT cover the drain valves.

To ensure proper operation of the water heater,

the following water pressure guidelines should be

followed:

• Operation of the water heater requires the

minimum water pressure of 14 psi and a

minimum water ow rate of 0.75 gpm.

• Additional water pressure is required for

long pipe runs and outlet tting(s) water

pressure drops.

• To maintain proper performance, ensure

sucient water supply pressure. The

Required Water Pressure = Min. Operating

Water Pressure (14 psi) + Pipe Pressure

Loss + Faucet and Shower Pressure Loss +

Safety Margin (more than 5 psi).

Mounting the EL22 Water Heater

Make sure the location of the water heater allows for easy access

and operation. The water heater should be located in an area where leakage of the

tank or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater

or to lower oors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is

recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the

appliance. The pan must not restrict combustion air ow.

In case of dry wall or concrete wall use dry wall anchors or lag bolts.

The water heater requires 120VAC/ 60Hz. Have a receptacle with

ground terminal near the water heater. The length of the power

supply cord is 5 feet.

Drill the holes as per the sizes in the gure to the left, put 2 expansion screws into the

top holes, and 2 rubber screws into the bottom holes.

Hang up the water heater unit, tighten the expansion screws, and put 2 wood thread

screws into the bottom holes.

When being installed directly on carpeting, the water heater shall be installed on a

metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth of the water heater

by at least 3 in (76.2 mm) in any direction or, if the water heater is installed in an

alcove or closet, the entire oor shall be covered by the panel. The panel must be

strong enough to carry the weight of the heater when full of water.

CAUTION: Reinforcement of the wall is required in case the wall is not strong enough to hold the water heater.

CAUTION: This water heater must only be used with the following water supply system conditions:

• With clean, potable water free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, or other contaminates.

• With inlet water temperatures above 32°F, but not exceeding 120°F.

• Free of lime and scale deposits.

• DO NOT reverse the hot and cold water connections. The water heater will not operate.
