Installation Checklist

BEFORE LIGHTING THE PILOT:

•Check the gas lines for leaks.

a.Use a soapy water solution. DO NOT test for gas leaks usinga 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 andmake the necessary repairs.

d.Recheck for leaks.

e.Rinse off soapy solution and wipe dry.

Is the new temperature-pressure relief valve properly installed

and piped to an adequate drain? See "Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve" section.

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.

•Is the water heater completely filled with water? See "Filling"

instructions in the "Installing the New Water Heater" sec- tion.

•Will a water leak damage anything? See the "Locating the New Water Heater sectmn.

Is there proper clearance between the water heater and any-

thing that might catch fire? See the "Locating the New water Heater section.

Do you have adequate ventilation so that the water heater will operate properly? See ' Combust'on A'r and Vent'lation" in the 'Locating the New Water Heater" sect'on.

Is the draft hood vent piping properly secured? See "Venting"

instructions in the "Installing the New Water Heater" sec- tion.

Is there proper clearance between the vent pipe and anything

that might catch on fire? See 'Venting instructions in the "Installing the New Water Heater" section.

Is the vent pipe properly sloped and does the vent terminate

outdoors? See "Venting" instructions in the "Installing the New Water Heater" section.

Do you need to call your gas company to check the gas pipe and its hookup?

CHECK FOR LEAKS

Be sure to check all your gas pipes for leaks before lighting your water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open

flame. Check the factory gas,,fittings after pilot is lit and gas con-

trol knob is still in PILOT position. Then, check the fittings when the main burner is turned "ON". Use a soapy water solu- tion for this, too.
