This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems
or component(s) used with a non-potable water heating
appliance.
If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system;
such as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water
meter with a check valve, etc.., in the cold water supply; means
shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the
local utility or local Sears Service Center on how to control this
situation.
NOTE: To_protect against untimely corrosion of hot and
cold water ttttings, it is strongly recommended that di-elec-
tric unions or couplings be installed on this water heater
when connected to copper pipe.
The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the
water heater. The water heater is equipped with ¾" water con-
nections.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adaptor to the cold water inlet connec-
tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line direcdy to the
cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the
tank.
Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is
marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the
threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around
both ends of the _" threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-
tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet on
the water heater.
• Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water
inlet is marked cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape
around the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling
and around both ends of the _" threaded nipple. Using flexi-
ble connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the coldwater
inlet of the water heater.
NOTE: This water heater is super insulated to minimize
heat loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat loss
can be accomplished by insulating the hot water lines
from the water heater.
