LOCATING THE NEW WATER HEATER

FACTS TO CONSIDER ABOUT THE LOCATION

Carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because the placement is a very important consideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed:

1.Select a location indoors as close as practical or centralized to the water piping system as possible. The water heater should be located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures.

2.Selected location must provide adequate clearances (4”) for servicing parts such as the thermostats, drain valve and relief valve. Adequate clearance for servicing this appliance should be considered before installation, such as changing the anodes, etc.

Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow will not cause

damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available from your local plumbing contractor. Such a drain pan must have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches (51 mm) greater that the water heater dimensions and must be piped to an adequate drain.

Also, the water heater must be located and/or protected so it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

INSULATION BLANKETS

Insulation blankets are available to the general public for external use on electric water heaters but are not necessary with this product. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank heaters. Your water heater meets or exceeds the National Appliance Energy Conversation Act standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements, making an insulation blanket unnecessary.

Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you should follow these instructions below. Failure to follow these instructions can result in fire, serious personal injury, or death.

Do not cover the temperature and pressure relief (T & P) valve with an insulation blanket.

Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side of the water heater or nearby for future reference.

Do obtain new warning and instruction labels for placement on the blanket directly over the existing labels.

INSTALLING THE NEW WATER HEATER

OPTIONAL WALL MOUNTING

WALL CONSTRUCTION AT THE POINT OF THE WATER HEATER

 

INSTALLATION MUST BE CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING AT LEAST 200

 

 

POUNDS.

 

As an example: if the water heater is to be installed on a wall of

 

gypsum board (dry wall) or other material not capable of supporting

 

the water heater filled with water, additional bracing will be necessary.

 

Two possibilities are shown, see Figure 3.

 

1. Using two sheet metal screws supplied, secure the top mounting

 

 

bracket to the top of the water heater.
