Water Piping

*AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are

intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem- perature which will satisfy space heating, clothes wash- ing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the

infirm, or physically/mentally 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 addition 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 people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at

plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufactur- ers instructions for installation of the valves. Before

changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.

Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around both ends of the _" threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-

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

Look at the top cover 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 threaded-to-sweat coupling and around both ends of the _" threaded nipple. Using flexi-

ble connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the coldwater inlet of the water heater.

NOTE: Your 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.

nections.
If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system;
such as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water
meter with a check valve, etc...in the cold water supply; means

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adaptor 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.

•_I_keoff the cabinet top to make all the water and electrical connections. Pull the cabinet top forward, all the way until it is free. xY./henreplacing the top, put it on the clips, almost to the back, push down and then push back.
