Installation Checklist

BEFORE OPERATING THE WATER HEATER:

1.Check the gas line for leaks.

a.Use a soapy water solution. DO NOT test for gas leaks using a match or open flame.

b.Brush the soapy water solution on all gas pipes, joints and fittings.

c.Check for bubbling soap. This means you have a leak. Turn “OFF” gas and make the necessary repairs.

d.Recheck for leaks.

e.Rinse off soapy solution and wipe dry.

2.Is the new temperature-pressure relief valve properly installed and piped to an adequate drain? See “Temperature- Pressure Relief Valve” section.

3.Are the cold and hot water lines connected to the water heater correctly? See “Water Piping” instructions in the “Installing the New Water Heater” section.

4.Is the water heater completely filled with water? See “Filling the Water Heater” instructions in the “Installing the New Water Heater” section.

5.Will a water leak damage anything? See the “Locating the New Water Heater” section.

6.Is there proper clearance between the water heater and any- thing that might catch fire? See the “Locating the New Water Heater” section.

7.Do you have adequate ventilation so that the water heater will operate properly? See “Combustion Air and Ventilation” in the “Locating the New Water Heater” section.

8.Is the vent piping properly secured? See “Venting” instruc- tions in the “Installing the New Water Heater” section.

9.Is there proper clearance between the vent pipe and any- thing that might catch fire? See “Venting” instructions in the “Installing the New Water Heater” section.
