There are also two black unions located on each end of the stainless steel heater barrel. The unions can come lose during shipping, and may need to be tightened. Do not over tighten the unions. If a union leaks after being hand tightened close the knife valves to stop the flow of water. Loosen the union that is leaking and inspect the O-ring for a possible crimp. Reinstall the O-ring and retighten the union.

WARNING

Only turn union one turn

counter clockwise.
