B. Plumbing
It is mandatory that all plumbing be done in accordance with federal, local, and
state plumbing codes and practices. Failure to properly install the water heater WILL
VOID the warranty. It is also necessary to use both thread tape and pipe dope on all
mechanical plumbing connections.
Install unions on the hot and cold water connections to easily disconnect the water
heater for servicing. See Figure 6.
• Connect the water inlet line to the entry point of the heater (right side inlet),
and connect the outlet line to the water outlet. Use a line that can withstand
a minimum pressure of 116 psi (8 bar). Using any other type of line will cause
damage. All water pipes within three (3) feet of the unit’s water inlet and outlet
must be rated for high temperature applications of 150
o
F (66
o
C) minimum.
Figure 5 - DO NOT
SOLDER TO THE UNIT
Do not solder any piping
to the unit’s connection
points.
• It is recommended to use exible water lines. See Figure 4.
• The maximum operating water pressure of this water heater is 150 psi / 10 bar. Residential plumbing
systems with unstable pressure or pressure above 73 psi require the application of a pressure stabilizer
valve, set to 58 - 73 psi.
• Do not install the appliance with water inlets and outlets at the top. See Figure 3.
• Before connecting pipes to the water heater, it is highly important to ush the lines to eliminate all residue
and debris from the inlet and outlet lines.
Do not apply heat to the Hot or Cold water heater connections. See Figure 5. If sweat connections are used,
sweat tubing to the adapter before tting adapter to the water connections on the heater. Any heat applied to
the water heater connections will permanently damage the water heater. Use two wrenches when tightening
water piping at heater. Use one wrench to prevent the heater inlet or outlet line from turning. Take care not to
over tighten. Damages due to improper installation practices ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Failure of the water heater due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH, or other imbalance IS NOT
covered by the warranty.
