Installation Checklist

BEFORE LIGHTING THE PILOT:

1. Check the gas lines for leaks.

a. Use a soapy water solution. DO NOT test for

gas leaks using a match or open flame.

b. Brush the soapy water solution on all gas pipes,

joints and fittings.

c. Check for bubbling soap. This means you have

a leak. Turn “OFF” gas and make the necessary

repairs.

d. Recheck for leaks.

e. Rinse off soapy solution and wipe dry.

2. Is the new temperature-pressure relief valve prop-

erly installed and piped to an adequate drain? See

“Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve” section.

3. Are the cold and hot water lines connected to the

water heater correctly? See “Water Piping” instruc-

tions in the “Installing the New Water Heater”

section.

4. Is the water heater completely filled with water?

See “Filling the Water Heater” instructions in the

“Installing the New Water Heater” section.

5. Will a water leak damage anything? See the

“Locating the New Water Heater” section.
