NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and coid
water fittings, it
is strongly
recommended that di-electric
unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when
connected to copper pipe.

&
P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation
does not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve.
Secure all insulation using tape.
1. Look at the top cover of the water heater. The hot water outlet
is marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around
the
threaded
end
of
the
threaded-to-sweat
coupling
and
around both ends of the 3/4” threaded nipple. Using flexible
connectors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet
of the water heater.
2.
Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water inlet
is marked cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around
the
threaded
end
of
the
threaded-to-sweat
coupling
and
around both ends of the 3/4” threaded nipple. Using flexible
connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold water
inlet of the water heater.
NOTE:
Your water
heater
is insulated
to minimize
heat ioss
from the tank. Further reduction in heat ioss can be
accompiished by insulating the hot water lines from the
water heater.

T & P Valve and Pipe Insulation
Remove insulation for T & P valve and pipe connections from
carton.
Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot
water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top
cover of the heater.

Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve
A
warning
Explosion Hazard
Temperature-pressure relief valve
must comply with ANSI A21.22
andASMEcode.
Properly sized temperature-relief
valve must be installed in opening
provided.
Can result in overheating and
excessive tank pressure.
Can cause serious injury or death.
This
heater
is
provided
with
a
properly certified
combination
temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.
The
valve
is
certified
by
a
nationally
recognized
testing
laboratory
that
maintains
periodic
inspection
of
production
of
listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for
Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 • CSA
4.4, and the code requirements of ASME.
If
replaced,
the
valve
must
meet
the
requirements
of
local
codes,
but
not
less
than
a
combination
temperature
and
pressure
relief
valve
certified
as
indicated
in
the
above
paragraph.
The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to
exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water
heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less
than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating
plate. (For electric heaters, watts x 3.412 equals Btu/hr input
rate)
For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not
be removed from its designated opening nor plugged.
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly
into the fitting of the water heater designed for the relief valve.
