WATER SUPPLY AND DRAINAGE
Refer to the illustration below for recommended installation. The HOT and COLD water connections are 3/4”
NPT (National Pipe Thread) and are clearly marked on all models. Use 3/4” female NPT fittings with sealant
suitable for potable water when connecting to the inlet/outlet ports. The installation of unions is recommended
on the HOT and COLD water
connections so that the water heater
may be easily disconnected for
service. Piping should be routed to
allow for anode rod inspection and
service.
NOTE: Install a shut-off valve in the
cold water line near the water heater.
This will allow for easier service and
maintenance of the unit.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply heat
to the HOT or COLD water
connections. If sweat connections
are used, sweat tubing to adapter
before fitting the adapter to the
COLD water connections on the
water heater. Any heat applied
to the HOT or COLD water
connections will permanently
damage the internal plastic lining
in these ports.
Install a vacuum relief valve and/or
anti-siphon device when required by
local jurisdictions.
