5. INTELLI-VENT
®
COMBINATION GAS CONTROL
INSTALLATION:
Ensure the replacement combination gas control is correct
for the gas usage of the water heater. Hand start threading
the control into the water heater. Install the suitable length
of 1/2 inch NPT pipe previously used to the gas inlet of new
control. Rotate the control by turning clockwise 3 until the
control is tight and in the upright position.
6. CONNECTION OF BURNER SUPPLY TUBE, MOLEX
CONNECTORS AND GROUND WIRES:
Install the inverted flare end of the burner supply tube into
the combination gas control. Hand thread the hex nut fitting
on the burner supply tube into the control. Ensure that the
fitting is properly aligned with the control, otherwise cross
threading of the connection will occur. Tighten the fitting
using a ¾” open-end wrench. Thread the Molex connectors
through the wire funnel. Connect the four (4) wire Molex
connector to the four (4) pin connector on the bottom of the
control. Connect the six (6) wire Molex connector to the six
(6) pin connector on the bottom of the control. Connect the
wire funnel to the control valve. Connect the green ground
wire to the electricial connector on the side of the control.
See Figure 2.
7. CONNECTION OF THE MAIN GAS SUPPLY TO THE
COMBINATION GAS CONTROL:
Reconnect the main gas supply piping to the combination
gas control. Use pipe thread sealant certified for use with
Natural and LP Gas/Liquefied Petroleum Gases.
NOTICE: Compounds used on threaded joints of gas pip-
ing shall be resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum
gases.
8. REFILLING THE WATER HEATER:
Disconnect the garden hose from the water heater’s drain
valve. Close the drain valve and turn on the inlet water
supply to the water heater. Open all hot water faucets to
allow all trapped air to escape. Let the water heater fill until
a steady stream of water is observed coming from all hot
water faucets then close all faucets.
9. TURN ON ELECTRIC POWER AND GAS SUPPLY
TO THE WATER HEATER:
Reconnect the electrical power to the water heater. Turn on
the main electrical power and gas supply to the water heater.
Check for leaks on the inlet supply piping using a soap and
water solution.
NOTICE: If the soap and water solution bubbles up, there
is a leak and the inlet gas supply piping must be tightened
and checked again.
10. LIGHTING AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Follow the “FOR YOUR SAFETY READ BEFORE
OPERATING” and “LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS” on the
label(s) affixed above the combination gas control.
With the main burner in operation, use a soap and water
solution to check for gas leaks at the burner supply tube
connections.
NOTICE: If the soap and water solution bubbles up, there
is a leak and the fittings must be tightened and checked
again.
IMPORTANT: If the leak(s) cannot be eliminated, turn off
the electrical power and gas supply to the water heater, and
contact the water heater manufacturer at 1-800-432-8373.
11. TEMPERATURE SETTING:
!
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for Hot
Water SCALDS.
A temperature setting of 120° F (49°C) or less is recom-
mended as a useable water temperature.
Set the combination gas control to its lowest setting by
pressing the COOLER or HOTTER buttons at the same
time for one second allowing a temperature light indicator
to activate. Depress the COOLER or HOTTER button until
the 120°F ternperature indicator light is displayed.
The illustration in Figure 4 shows the recommended tem-
perature setting.
