In areas prone to seismic activity, it is recommended that the unit be mounted to the floor,
according to recommended procedures for the site, to make the units less susceptible to
seismic damage.
Familiarization with the Unit and Components
CEMLINE Electric Water Heaters and Boilers are designed to make installation a
relatively simple procedure. Because the unit is "Packaged," after placing and mounting
the unit, installation involves:
1. connecting the cold water source to the cold water inlet;
2. connecting the hot water or boiler water outlet to the hot water system;
3. connecting the electric power source to the unit;
4. piping the pressure / temperature relief valve to an acceptable vent or drain
system;
Each unit is supplied with a Submittal Sheet, C.A.D. Drawings, and Wiring Diagrams that
indicate the location and specifications for each connection that must be made. In
addition, the drawings will enable the installer(s) to determine the flow direction of the
water.
Connecting the Cold Water Source and
Hot / Boiler Water Outlet
Note: Before making any connections of cold water inlet or hot / boiler water outlet to
the unit, assure that all piping is clean and free of foreign material or scale.
This can usually be accomplished by "blowing out" the pipe. Any foreign
material or scale entering the unit can adversely affect operation and
performance.
Cold Water Source
The first step in the installation process is to connect the cold water source to the
cold water inlet port. The exact location of this port for the specific unit, as well
as inlet pipe diameter and thread size, can be determined from the C.A.D.
Drawings supplied with the Submittal Sheet.
A manual shutoff valve should be installed upstream on the cold water source as an
isolation device.
