WATER SUPPLY

Piping Installation

Piping, fittings, and valves should be installed according to
the installation drawing (Figure 7). If the indoor installation

area is subject to freezing temperatures, the water piping
must be protected by insulation. Water supply pressure
should not exceed 80% of the working pressure of the water
heater. The working pressure is stated on the water heater’s
data plate. If this occurs, a pressure reducing valve with a
bypass should be installed in the cold water inlet line to the
entire system. This should be placed on the supply to the
entire structure in order to maintain equal hot and cold water
pressures.
Note: Water supplied to the unit that exceeds 12 grains
(205 mg/l) total hardness may reduce the life and perform-
ance of the water heater. Depending on the degree of hard-
ness, it is recommended that either a water pre-treatment
system or a water softener be installed and properly main-
tained.
Important: Heat cannot be applied to the water fittings on
the water heater as they may contain nonmetallic parts. If
solder connections are used, solder the pipe to the adapter
before attaching the adapter to the hot and cold water fit-
tings.
1. The water heater may have three water piping connec-

tion points. The top and front are 1-1/2” NPT and the
connections on the back of some heaters are 2” NPT.
When using front or back connections a combination
nipple inlet tube is required (top entry uses a dip tube).
Any one of the options listed in Table 5 may be used.

For availability contact 1-888-479-8324.
Note: Inlet and outlet piping connections cannot be mixed.
