before attempting to operate the water heater. All olive compression fittings must
use brass or copper olives. Use thread sealing tape or approved thread sealant
on all fittings.
An isolation valve and non-return
valve must be installed on the cold
water line to the water heater. An

the diagram.

“Hot Water Delivery”

page 24 and to
“Mains Water

A disconnection union must always be provided at the cold water inlet and hot

This water heater has either a plastic dip tube or
fitting liner in the inlet and outlet fittings (see

heater to function properly. Do not remove or
damage them by using heat nearby. They will be
pushed into the correct position as the fitting is
screwed in.
