Connect the cold-water inlet pipe to the inlet nipple (marked with a blue ring) and the hot
water outlet pipe to the outlet nipple (marked with a red ring).
Install a discharge pipe from the temperature/pressure relief valve terminating at a
sink or drain. Do not cap or plug the end of the discharge pipe. The discharge pipe
must be unobstructed and full sized. The T/P valve is certied by a nationally recognized
test lab that maintains periodic inspections of the listed equipment and meets the require-
ments for relief valves and automatic shut off devices for hot water supply systems ANSI
121.22.
The T/P valve is marked with a maximum pressure, which does not exceed the maximum
working pressure of the water heater (150 PSI).
Install the T/P valve into the threaded opening at the top of the water heater and orient
the discharge tubing so that any discharge from the valve will exit within 6" above, or
at any distance below the structural oor, and cannot contact any live electrical part.
If water pipes are copper or bronze, use dielectric connections to prevent corrosion. Failure
to provide dielectric insulation may result in premature tank or nipple failure and may void
your warranty. Ensure that the water heater is installed in a level position. Install a shut off
valve on the cold-water side of the water heater. The valve is for servicing and the valve
should be in the open position when the water heater is in operation. In order to protect the
water heater from heat damage due to soldering, solder a piece of tubing to a threaded
union tting before screwing the union to the tank. Do not apply heat directly to inlet or
outlet connections.
