Water Piping

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to

produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfyclothes washing, dish washing,and other sanitizing needs can scaldand permanently injure you upon contact. Some peo-

ple are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than other_ These include the elderly, children,the infirm, or physical-

ly/mentally handicapped. If anyone usinghot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a localcode or state law roquiHng a certain temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to usingthe lowest possibletemperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs,

ameans suchas a mixing valve, should be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are availableat plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow man- ufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.

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 _" 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.

_IIE--

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: Toprotect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold water fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-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 + " 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 _+' threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-

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