•Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water inlet is marked-cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around both ends of the 3A"threaded nipple. Using flexi-

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

NOTE: This water heater is super insulated to minimize heat loss from the tank. Further reductmn in heat loss

can be accomplished by insulating the hot water lines from the water heater.

This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems or component(s) used with a non-potable water beating appliance.

If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system; such as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water meter with a check valve, etc.., in the cold water supply; means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the

local utility or local Sears Service Center on how to control this situation,

NOTE: To _protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold water fittings, it is strongly recommended that dl-elec-

tric unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when connected to copper pipe.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the

water heater. The water heater is equipped with ¾" water con- nections.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connec- tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the

cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.

•Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the

threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around

both ends of the _A" threaded nipple. Using flexible connec- tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet on the water heater.
