Figure 15 shows the typical attachment of the water piping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4” NPT water connections.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connection. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.
