5.6 litres (1.5 US gallons) for every 190 litres (50 US gallons)
of stored water and be rated at the working pressure of the
water heater. Contact the local water supplier or plumbing
inspector for information on other methods to control this
situation.
Important: Do not plug or remove the temperature and
pressure relief valve.
Temperature and Pressure (T&P) Relief
Valve
For protection against excessive pressures and tempera-
tures, a temperature and pressure relief valve must be
installed in the opening marked “T&P RELIEF VALVE” (see
Figure 14). This valve must be design certified by a nation-
ally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic
inspection of the production of listed equipment or materials
as meeting the requirements of the “Standard For Relief
Valves For Hot Water Supply Systems”, ANSI Z21.22/
CSA 4.4. The function of the temperature and pressure relief
valve is to discharge water in large quantities in the event
of excessive temperature or pressure developing in the
water heater. The valve’s relief pressure must not exceed
the working pressure of the water heater as stated on the
data plate.
Important: Only a new temperature and pressure relief
valve should be used with your water heater. Do not use an
old or existing valve as it may be damaged or not adequate
for the working pressure of the new water heater. Do not
place any valve between the relief valve and the tank.
The Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve:
•
Must not be in contact with any electrical part.
•
Must be connected to an adequate discharge line.
•
Must not be rated higher than the working pressure
shown on the data plate of the water heater.
The Discharge Line:
•
Must not be smaller than the pipe size of the relief valve
or have any reducing coupling installed in the discharge
line.
•
Must not be capped, blocked, plugged or contain any
valve between the relief valve and the end of the dis-
charge line.
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
• If the temperature and pressure relief valve
is dripping or leaking, have a licensed
plumber repair it.
• Do not plug valve.
• Do not remove valve.
• Failure to follow these instructions can
result in death or an explosion.
•
Must terminate a maximum of 300mm (12 in.) (Canada)
or 150mm (6 in.) (U.S.A.) above the floor.
•
Must be capable of withstanding 121°C (250°F) without
distortion.
•
Must be installed to allow complete drainage of both the
valve and discharge line.

Electrical Supply
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Disconnect power before ser-
vicing.
• Replace all parts and panels
before operating.
• Failure to do so can result in
death or electrical shock.
Important: The electrical controls used inside the gas con-
trol/thermostat mounted on this water heater are polarity
sensitive. Ensure the electrical supply is connected cor-
rectly in the receptacle box. Failure to connect correctly will
prevent the unit from functioning properly (see Figure 15 &
Figure 17). Before performing any electrical service work,
label all wires to avoid connection errors. If wiring has to
be replaced, use only TYPE TEW 105C wire, except igniter
wires. If there is a problem with igniter wires, replace igniter
assembly in its entirety. In locations where a sump pump
failure, flooding or exposure to water may be present, a
ground fault receptacle is recommended.
Important: Do not use an extension cord to connect the
water heater to an electrical outlet.
•
Ensure that the water heater and the outlet are properly
grounded.
•
Ensure that the water heater is installed in accor-
dance with prevailing provisions of local codes, or, in
the absence of such, the latest edition of “Canadian
Electrical Code (CAN/CSA C22.1), Part I” (Canada) or
“National Electrical Code” (NFPA 70) (U.S.A.).
