This waterheater shall not be connected to any heating systems or component(s) used with a non-potable water heating appliance.

If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system; such as one having a back-flowpreventer, check valve, water meter with a check valve, etc.., in the cold water supply; means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the

local utility or local Sears Service Center on how to control this situation.

NOTE: Toprotect against untimely corrosion of hot and

cold water fitthags, it is steon_iy recommended that all-elec- tric unions or couplings be mstelled on this water heater

when connected to copperpipe.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the

water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3Ainch water connections.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before auaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connec- tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the

cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.

•Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water oudet is markedhot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling a-,xdaround both ends of the _A"threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-

tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet on the waterheater.

•Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water inlet is markedcold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape

around the threaded end of _e threaded-to-sweat coupling and around both ends of the ¾ threaded nipple. Using flexi-

ble connectors, connect the cold waterpipe to the coldwater inlet of the waterheater.

NOTE: This water heater is super insulated to minimize heat loss from the tank. Further reduction in heat loss

can be accomplished by insulating the hot water lines from the water heater.
