PLAN HOW YOU WILL INSTALL YOUR WATER HEATER

TOOLS AND MATERIALS NEEDED

•Copper or galvanized pipe and fittings (3/4" minimum size) as needed to make the plumbing connections (see FIG. 1, Page 5 and FIG. 2, Page 6). GPVC plastic pipe and fittings are permitted in some areas.

•	You can buy water heater installation kits	I I
	from Sears. The kits include flexible con-	m
	nectors with 3/4" fittings to help make
	installing the water heater easier.
•	Pipe thread seal compound.	t=!
•	Electrical wiring materials as needed	ki
	(see Step 8 and Page 7).	I

•Pipe wrenches (2), hacksaw or pipe cutter, wire stripper or knife, a wire cutter, and a Phillips screwdriver. If installing copper pipe and solder fittings, you will need a propane torch, lead free solidcore solder (see following Note (_), paste flux, emery cloth, sand paper or steel wool. If installing CPVC plastic, solvent cement is needed.

O NOTE; For copper pipe installations, to help guard against the adding of lead to water supplies, Federal law prohibits the use of solder containing more than 0.2 percent of lead.

WHERE TO LOCATE THE WATER HEATER

If you are replacingan old water heater, you willprobably want to use the same location. If you want to change the location, or if this is a new installation,considerthe following:

•Locate closeto where you will use the most hot water. Less heat islost when the hot water has a shortdistanceto flow.

•Locate close to a floor drain, laundrytub or sink. A proper (check local codes) drain is needed for the temperature

and pressurerelief drain pipe (see Page 6), and for monthly drainingof the water heater (see Page 10).

•Do not install where water could freeze in the water heater. Freezedamage voids your warranty from Seats (seePage12).

•Do not install next to a wood-burning stove or other appliance where high temperature could warp or otherwise

damage the water heater outer jacket. ~ .

•Put the water heater in a place water damage is least likely if it should start to leak. If needed (see following note ® ), make or buy a suitable drain pan and place it under the water heater. The drain pan must have a free flowing drain line to carry away water that may leak into it.

@ NOTE" Recommended by American National Standards

Institute (ANSI) Z21-10.1- (latest issue) under instruction section, if water heater is located in or above an area that

could be damaged by water leaks.

•For ease of service, be sure you are able to get to the drain valve, temperature and pressure relief valve, and access panels to the controls.

•Be sure the floor is level so the water heater will stand straight.

REMOVE THE OLD WATER HEATER (if it applies)

1.TURN OFF ELECTRIC POWER TO THE WATER HEATERat the fuse or circuit breaker panel.

If removing a gas water heater,TURN OFFTHE GASSUPPLY TO THE HOUSE, disconnect and cap, or remove,the gas line to the water heater (check local codes) andthe vent pipe.
