Water Piping
*A WARNING
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intend-
ed to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature vhich will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish wash- ing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be _ermanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/men. tally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addi- tion to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at the hot water taps used by these peo- ple or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing
the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with _" water connections.
•Look at the top of the water heater. The hot water outlet is marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the threaded end of the compression coupling and around the _" threads of the 5_"x ½" reducer bushing. Put two or three turns of
teflon..... tape around both ends, of a Vd' threaded,,_nip le (not. sup- plied in the mstallauon kit). Attach the Z threa_ed topple to
the _" x }_"reducer bushing and screw into the hot water outlet of the water heater. Using flexible connectors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet of the water heater.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the water connec- tions. Do not solder the water supply lines directly to the
connections of the water heater. It will harm the fittings on the water heater.
Look at the top of the water heater. The cold water inlet is marked cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the threaded end of the compression coupling and around the _" threads of the 5_"x ½" reducer bushing. Put two or three turns of
teflon..... tape around both ends, of a Vd' threaded,,_nip_jple(not. sup-
plied m the mstallauon kzt). Attach the Z threaded topple to the _" x Vd'reducer bushing and screw into the cold water inlet of the water heater. Using flexible connectors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet of tile water heater.
NOTE: Your water heater is 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.
