steps in this procedure. Take necessary precaution to prevent personal injury.

Step 1. Position on/off switch of gas control valve to the “OFF” position and unplug water heater from wall outlet.

Step 2. Turn off cold water supply to water heater. Connect hose to drain valve of water heater and route to an open drain. Open a nearby hot water faucet to vent water heater for draining. Open drain valve of water heater and allow water heater to drain to a point below the outlet connection nipple.

Step 3. Disconnect outlet nipple from plumbing system.

Step 4 With an appropriate tool such as a pipe wrench, remove outlet nipple/anode from the water heater. Use caution not to damage pipe threads.

Step 5. Visually inspect outlet nipple/anode. Outlet nipple/anode should show signs of depletion, this is normal. If depletion is ½ of the original anode diameter (approximately ¾” diameter), replacement is recommended. If any of the steel core of the anode is exposed, replacement is recommended.

Step 6. Upon completion of inspection or subsequent replacement, reinstall outlet nipple/anode into water

heater. Connect nipple to plumbing system, resume water supply and refill with water.
