Installation Diagrams - Top Inlet/Outlet Usage

Use of the top inlet water connection requires installation of an inlet dip tube (refer to figure 19). The tube is supplied in the heater. Follow caution labels if applying heat to this fitting. Do not allow pipe dope to contact the plastic tube during installation.

Tube Inlet Installation

Code Restrictions

Use of the top inlet water connection is not permitted on installations in the state of North Carolina, due to the material of the tube (Polypropylene). Where such code restrictions exist, use only lower inlet tank connection. This may also require a heat trap - check local codes. The “Top Outlet” connection may still be used on these applications. Plug or cap all unused openings in the tank before filling with water.

TEMPERATURE SETTING SHOULD NOT EXCEED SAFE USE TEMPERATURE AT FIXTURES. SEE WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL AND MIXING VALVE WARNING ON PAGE 12. IF HIGHER PREHEAT TEMPERATURES ARE NECESSARY TO OBTAIN ADEQUATE BOOSTER OUTPUT, ADD AN ANTI-SCALD VALVE FOR HOT WATER SUPPLIED TO FIXTURES.
