to the water heater. In most installations the vent pipe can

 

be lifted off after any screw or other attached devices are

 

removed. Dispose of the draft hood. The new water heater

 

has a draft hood which must be used for proper operation.

6.

If you have copper piping to the water heater, the two copper

 

water pipes can be cut with a hacksaw approximately four

 

inches away from where they connect to the water heater.

 

See Figure 6. This will avoid cutting off pipes too short.

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

If the main gas line shutoff valve serving all gas appliances is used, also shut “OFF” the gas at each appliance. Leave all gas appliances

shut “OFF” until the water heater

installation is completed. See FIGURE 3. Figures 2 and 3.

Open a nearby hot water faucet

 

 

 

until the water is no longer hot.

and 4.

 

3.Check again to make sure the gas supply is “OFF” to the water heater. Then disconnect the gas supply connection from the gas control valve.

Additional cuts can be made later if necessary. Disconnect the

temperature-pressure relief valve drain line. 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.

FIGURE 6.

If you have galvanized pipes to the water heater, loosen the two galvanized pipes with a pipe wrench at the union in each line. Also disconnect the piping remaining to the water heater. See Figure 7. These pieces should be saved since they may be needed when reconnecting the new water heater. Disconnect the temperature-pressure relief valve drain line. 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. 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.
