Please note the following:
DO NOT install this water heater with iron piping. The system should be installed only with piping that is suitable for potable (drinkable) water such as copper, CPVC, or polybutylene. DO NOT use PVC water piping.
DO NOT use any pumps, valves, or fittings that are not compatible with potable water.
DO NOT use valves that may cause excessive restriction to water flow. Use full flow ball or gate valves only.
DO NOT use 50/50
DO NOT tamper with the gas valve/thermostat, igniter, thermocouple, or temperature and pressure relief valve. Tampering voids all warranties. Only qualified technicians should service these components.
DO NOT use with piping that has been treated with chromates, boiler seal, or other chemicals.
DO NOT add any chemicals to the system piping which will contaminate the potable water supply.
Closed System/Thermal Expansion
Periodic discharge of the temperature and pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. The water utility supply meter may contain a check valve, backflow preventer or water pressure reducing valve. This will create a closed water system. During the heating cycle of the water heater, the water expands causing pressure inside the water heater to increase. This may cause the temperature and pressure relief valve to discharge small quantities of hot water. To prevent this, it is recommended that a
Important: Do not plug or remove the temperature and pressure relief valve.
