comp ere y fu of water.

heater.

OWater at the draft hood is water vapor which has con-

densed out of the combustion products. This is caused by a problem in the vent. Contact the Sears Service Center.

O*Condensation may be seen on pipes in humid weather or pipe connections may be leaking.

*The primary anode rod fitting may he leaking.

*The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.

 

Combustion

products

contain

water vapor which can con-

 

dense on the cooler surfaces of the tank. Droplets form and

 

drip into the fire or run on the floor. This is common at

 

the time of startup after installation and when incoming

 

water

is cold.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

O Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve.

DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible water sources is made and necessary correc÷ tive steps taken. Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage should also be checked.

NOTE= To check where threaded portion enters tank, insert cotton swab between jacket opening and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow "Draining" instructions in the "Periodic Maintenance" section and then remove fitting. Put pipe dope or teflon tape on the threads and replace. Then follow "Filling the Water Heater" instructions in the "Installing the New Water Heater" section.
