Leakage Checkpoints

Read this manual first. Then before checking the water heater make sure the electrical power supply has been turned “OFF” before checking the tank for leakage.

*A. Condensation and dripping may be seen on pipes if the water temperature is low in humid weather or pipe connections may be

	leaking.
	B. Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief valve
	may be due to thermal expansion or high water pressure in your
	area. If the valve is not piped to an open drain the released water
	could be mistaken for a leaking heater.
	*C. The temperature-pressure relief valve may be leaking at the tank
	fitting.
	E. The element may be leaking at the tank fitting. Turn electrical power
	“OFF”, remove outer door, insulation block and pad. If leaking
	around the element, follow proper draining instructions and remove
	element. Reposition or replace gasket on element. Place element
	into opening and tighten securely. Then follow “Filling the Water
	Heater” instructions in the “Installing the New Water Heater”
	section.
FIGURE 24.	E. Water from a drain valve may be due to the valve being slightly
	opened.
	*F. The drain valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.
	*G. Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from
	condensation, loose connections, or the relief valve. DO NOT
	replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible
	water sources is made and necessary corrective steps taken.
	Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage
	should also be checked.
	* To check where threaded portion enters tank, insert cotton swab
	between jacket opening and fitting. If cotton is wet, follow
	“Draining” instructions in the “Periodic Maintenance” section and
	then remove fitting. Put pipe dope or teflon tape on the threads
	and replace. Then follow “Filling the Water Heater” instructions in
	the “Installing the New Water Heater” section.
