Typical top connection arrangement

For increased energy efficiency, some water heaters have been supplied with a 2-3/8” section of pipe insulation.

Please install the insulation, according to the illustrations above, that best meets your requirements.

Typical side connection arrangement

Slip the insulation cover over the T&P Valve through the center hole and align the hole in the side with the opening of the T&P Valve.

Heat Trap

For increased energy efficiency, some water heaters have been supplied with factory installed internal or external heat traps in the hot outlet and cold water inlet openings.

NOTICE: Do not apply heat to the HOT or COLD water connections. If sweat connections are used, sweat tubing to adapter before fitting adapter to the water connections on heater. Any heat applied to the water supply fittings will permanently damage the dip tube and/or heat traps.
