Water Supply
Connect the cold water inlet supply
Note: Use white Teflon tape at all threaded water connections
- The cold water inlet joint is ½” NPT threaded pipe.
- The water inlet should be connected by using flexible heavy duty tubing or rigid
PVC pipe. If you choose flexible tubing, you will need a ½” threaded male to ½” hose
barb adapter. Tubing should be secured with properly sized hose clamps. Rigid pipe
should be ½” male threads. Teflon tape should be employed with any threaded
fittings.
- The inner diameter of the inlet pipe (including the valve) should not be less than
3/8”. Larger diameter pipe is acceptable with the appropriate adapters to reduce to
½” at the inlet joint.
- The cold water valve must be installed inline with the water inlet pipe.
- Always flush a new unit with water to clear out any collected deposits or debrisprior
to installation. The supplied screen filter must be correctly installed in the cold water
inlet to prevent mineral deposits from your water supply from building up in the unit's
water valve assembly. After flushing with cold water and confirming that there is no
residue in the pipe, install the rubber gasket and tighten the water inlet joint.
2. Don´t expose the water heater to the strong wind or rain.
3. Use only the type of gas that is specified on the name plate.
4. All gas connections should be made by a professional.
5. Don't use pipes, tubing or other connections that are aging or cracked.
6. Do not use with water pressures lower than 8 PSI. Do not use with lower GPM's
than indicated on the flow chart for your unit.
7. The water heater shouldn't be installed above cooking appliances, such as ovens
or stoves.
8. The water heater should be installed a minimum of 15 feet from any stairs or
emergency exits.
9. The water heater must be installed vertically, according to the mounting
instructions.
10. The water heater must not be installed near flammable or volatile substances.
Mounting Your Water Heater
a) When possible, your water heater should be mounted directly to studs. There
should be a screw in every available mounting location on the heater. If studs are not
available, do NOT hang unit directly from sheetrock without utilizing expansion
screws.
b) When utilizing expansion screws for sheetrock mounting, hold the unit on the wall
where you want it mounted. Mark with a pencil the (4) mounting holes. Remove the
unit from the wall, and drill 3/8” holes on each mark. (See drawings below).
