connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold water inlet of the water heater.

NOTE: Your water heater is insulated to minimize heat loss

from the tank. Further reduction in heat Boss can be

accomplished by insu[ating the hot water lines from the water heater.

,Temperature-pressure relief valve

must comply with ANSI A21.22 and ASME code.

T & P Valve and Pipe insulation

Remove insulation for T & P valve and pipe connections from carton.

Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot

water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top cover of the heater.

The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing

laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of

listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water

Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 • CSA 4.4, and the code

requirements of ASME.

If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local

codes, but not less than a combination temperature and

pressure relief valve certified as indicated in the above paragraph.

The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate.

For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be removed from its designated opening nor plugged.

The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designed for the relief valve.
