A. Water Heater Location
❑
Close to area of heated water demand.
❑
Indoors and protected from freezing temperatures.
❑
Area free of flammable vapors.
❑
Provisions made to protect area from water damage.
❑
Sufficient room to service water heater.
B. Water Supply
❑
Water heater completely filled with water.
❑
Water heater and piping air vented.
❑
Water connections tight and free of leaks
C. Relief Valve
❑
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve properly installed
and discharge line run to open drain
❑
Discharge line protected from freezing.
D. Wiring
❑
Power supply voltage agrees with water heater rating plate.
❑
Branch circuit wire and fusing or circuit breaker of proper size.
❑
Electrical connections tight and unit properly grounded.
grounded receptacle on a branch circuit with copper conductors, an over
current protection device and a suitable disconnect means. If desired,
straight field wiring connections can be made to these models by removing
the access cover on front of the heater and disconnecting the cord set from
the thermostat and the grounding lug. Remove the cord set and strain relief
bushing from the junction bracket. The hole in the junction bracket will
accommodate
1
/2” or
3
/4” electrical fittings. Refer to wiring diagrams on back
cover of this manual for wiring connections.
Some models are completely wired to the junction bracket inside the jacket at
the front of the water heater. An opening for
1
/2” or
3
/4” electrical fitting is
provided for field wiring connections. A separate branch circuit with copper
conductors, overcurrent protective device and suitable disconnecting
means must be provided by a qualified electrician. Refer to wiring diagrams
on back cover of this manual for wiring connections.
The presence of water in the piping and water heater does not provide
sufficient conduction for a ground. Non-metallic piping, dielectric unions,
flexible connectors etc. can cause the water heater to be electrically
isolated.
The branch circuit wiring should include either:
A. Metallic conduit or metallic sheathed cable approved for use as a
grounding conductor and installed with fittings approved for the purpose.
B. Non-metallic sheathed cable or metallic conduit or metallic sheathed
cable not approved for use as a ground conductor shall include a
separate conductor for grounding. It should be attached to the ground
terminals of the water heater and the electrical distribution box.
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage or defect
caused by installation, attachment or use of any type of energy saving or
other unapproved devices (other than those authorized by the
manufacturer) into, onto or in conjunction with the water heater. The use
of unauthorized energy saving devices may shorten the life of the water
heater and may endanger life and property. The manufacturer disclaims
any responsibility for such loss or injury resulting from the use of such
unauthorized devices.
If local codes require external application of insulation blanket kits the
manufacturer’s instructions included with the kit must be carefully followed.
Application of any external insulation to this water heater will require
careful attention to the following:
• Do not cover the temperature and pressure relief valve.
• Do not cover jacket access panels to thermostats and heating elements.
• Do not cover electrical junction box of water heater.
• Do not cover operating or warning labels attached to the water heater
nor attempt to relocate them on exterior of insulation blanket.
