Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

General Information continued-

WARNING

Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the temperature

and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches above, or any

distance below, the structural floor and cannot contact any live electrical

part. The discharge line is to be installed to allow for complete drainage

of both the temperature and pressure relief valve and the discharge line.

The discharge opening must not be subjected to blockage or freezing.

Do NOT thread, plug, or cap the discharge line. It is recommended that

a minimum clearance of four (4) inches be provided on the side of the

water heater for servicing and maintenance of the combination

temperature and pressure relief valve.

Do NOT place a valve between the combination temperature and

pressure relief valve and the tank!

SACRIFICIAL ANODES – Three sacrificial anode rods have been

installed in the tank head to extend tank life. The removal of any anodes,

except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. The

anode rods should be inspected annually to determine the amount of

sacrificial decay and replaced when necessary to prolong tank life. Water

conditions in your area will influence the time interval for inspection and

replacement of the anode rod. The use of a water softener may increase the

speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of the anode is

needed when using softened (or phosphate treated) water. Contact the

plumbing professional who installed the water heater or the manufacturer,

listed on the rating plate, for anode replacement information.
