Water Piping

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCAI._. Water heaters are intended to

produce hot water. Water _ to a temperature which will satisfyclothes washing, dishwathm_ 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 includethe elderly, child_n, the infirm, or physical- ly/mentaily handicapped.If anyone usinghot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a localcede or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water _ then you must take speciaiprecautions In addition to usingthe lowest possil_etemperature setting that satisfiesyour hot water needs, a means suchas a mixing valve, should be usedat the hot water taps used by these people or at she water heater. Mixing valves are availableat plumbing supplyor hardware store_ Followman- ufacturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual.

heating	systems or component(s)		used with a	non-[
potable	water	heating appliance.

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 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 reduction in heat loss

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

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								PRESSURE
situation.

NOTE: To ,protect against untimely corrosion of hot and
cold	water lattings, it is		strongly	recommended	that all-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 3A" water connections.

PIPE (Do not cap or plug)

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 ¾" threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-

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