C. Heating Element Replacement Procedure
STEP #1 - Turn o power to the water heater. Use a Phillips
Head screwdriver to remove the wires from the element.
If heating elements need replacement, it is very important
to use the same voltage, wattage, and construction. The
element sheath must be incoloy and the hex plug must be
made of stainless steel.
Failure to disconnect the power from the water heater
before attempting heating element replacement will result
in property damage, severe personal injury, or death due to
electric shock.
STEP #2 - Run hot water at a faucet in the system. When it
runs cold, shut o the faucet. Then shut o water at the main
cold water inlet or, if possible, valve o the water heater from
the system. Drain the water from the system, or just the water
heater if it can be isolated from the system.
Completely drain the water heater before removing and
replacing a heating element or elements. Failure to do so will
result in a leakage of water and property damage, and could
possibly result in moderate to severe personal injury or death.
Water drained from the water heater may be scalding hot.
Take care to avoid scalding. Wear gloves and safety glasses,
and direct water to a safe drainage location. Failure to comply
with this warning could result in property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
DO NOT replace heating element with a generic heating
element. Only HTP heating elements are approved for use
with this water heater. Failure to follow this warning will
result in premature product failure and VOID the warranty.
Step #3 - Remove the element with a 1 1/2” socket wrench or
element tool.
Step #4 - Ensure thread and opening are completely free of
debris. Use a nylon brush to clear away any debris.
Step #5 - Put a small amount of NSF approved lubricant and
sealant on the O-Ring.
Step #6 - Screw the element clockwise into the tank, and
tighten with the 1 1/2” socket wrench or element tool. Be sure
O-ring seats properly.
