Look at the top cover of the water heater. The cold water inlet is markedcold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape

around the threaded end of _e 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 reduction 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 heating 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 fitdngs_ it is strongly recommended that all-elec- tric unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when connected to copper pipe.

The iUustration shows the attachment of the water _iping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3A water con- nections.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter m 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 tanL

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 3A threaded nipple. Using fexible connec-

tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet on the water heater.
