PLUMBING CONNECTIONS
Connect the cold water inlet pipe to the inlet nipple (marked with a blue
ring) and the hot water outlet pipe to the outlet nipple (marked with a red
ring).
IMPORTANT: If Water pipes are copper or bronze, use dielectric connections
to prevent corrosion. Failure to provide dielectric insulation may result in
premature tank or nipple failure and may void your warranty. Insure that
the water heater is installed in a level position. Install a shut off valve on the
cold water side of the water heater. The valve is for servicing and the valve
should be in the open position when the water heater is in operation. In
order to protect the water heater from heat damage due to soldering, solder
a piece of tubing to a threaded UNION fitting before screwing the UNION to
the tank. DO NOT APPLY HEAT DIRECTLY TO INLET OR OUTLET
CONNECTIONS.
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE:
CAUTION!: To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and temperatures in this
water heater, install temperature and pressure protective equipment required by
local codes, but no less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve
certified as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas
Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, by a nationally
recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of
listed equipment or materials. The valve must be oriented, provided with tubing,
or otherwise installed so that discharge can exit only within 6 inches above, or at
any distance below, the structural floor, and cannot contact any live electrical
part.
Install a discharge pipe from the temperature/pressure relief valve terminating at
a sink or drain. DO NOT CAP OR PLUG THE END OF THE DISCHARGE PIPE. THE
DISCHARGE PIPE MUST BE UNOBSTRUCTED AND FULL SIZED.
The T/P valve is certified by a nationally recognized test lab that maintains
periodic inspections of the listed equipment and meets the requirements for
relief valves and automatic shut off devices for hot water supply systems
ANSI Z21.22.
The T/P valve is marked with a maximum pressure, which does not exceed
the maximum working pressure of the water heater (150 PSI).
