Instructions for Installation

Removing the Old Water Heater

1Turn “OFF” electrical supply to the water heater.

2Turn “OFF” the water supply to the water heater at the water shutoff valve or water meter.

3Attach a hose to the water heater drain valve and put the other end in a floor drain or outdoors. Open the water heater drain valve. Open a nearby hot water faucet which will relieve pressure in the water heater and speed draining.

WARNING

The water passing out of the drain valve may be extremely hot. To avoid being scalded, make sure all connections are tight and that the water flow is directed away from any person.

4Check again to make sure the electrical supply is turned “OFF” to the water heater. Then disconnect the electri- cal supply connection from the water heater junction box.

5a. If you have copper piping to the water heater, the two copper water pipes can be cut with a hacksaw approxi- mately four inches away from where they connect to the water heater. This will avoid cutting off the pipes too short. Additional cuts can be made later if neces- sary. Disconnect the temperature-pressure relief valve drain line. When the water heater is drained, discon- nect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The water heater is now completely disconnect- ed and ready to be removed.

5b. If you have galvanized pipe to the water heater, loosen the two galvanized pipes with a pipe wrench at the union in each line. Also disconnect the piping remain- ing to the water heater. These pieces should be saved since they may be needed when reconnecting the new water heater. Disconnect the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge pipe. When the water heater is drained, disconnect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The water heater is now completely disconnected and ready to be removed.

CAUTION

Mineral buildup or sediment may have accumulated in the old water heater. This causes the water heater to be much heavier than normal and this residue, if spilled out, could cause staining.
