QAttach a hose to the water heater drain valve and put the other end

in a floor drain or outdoors. Open the water heater drain valve. Open a nearby hot water faucet which will relieve pressure in the water heater

and speed draining. The water passing out of the drain valve may be extremely hot. To avoid being scalded, make sure all connections are tight and that the water flow is

directed

(_. Disconnect the vent pipe from the draft hood where it connects to the water heater. In most installations the vent pipe can be lifted off after any screw or other attached devices are

removed. Dispose of the draft hood. The new water heater has a draft hood which must be used for proper operation.

QIf you have copper piping to the water heater, the two copper

water pipes can be cut with a hacksaw approximately four inches away from where they connect to the water heater, see Figure 6. This will avoid cutting off pipes too short.

Additional cuts can be made later if necessary. Disconnect

the temperature-pressure relief valve drain line. When the water heater is drained, disconnect the hose from the drain valve. Close the drain valve. The water heater is now

completely disconnected and ready to be removed.

QTurn "OFF" the gas supply to the water heater.

If the main gas line shut-off valve serving all gas appliances is used, also shut "OFF" the gas at each

appliance. Leave all gas

appliances shut "OFF" until the

water heater installation is completed, see Figures 2 and 3.

QTurn "OFF" the water supply to the water heater at the water shut-off

valve or water meter. Some

installations require that the water be turned off to the entire house, see Figures 2 and 4.

now completely disconnected and ready to be removed.

Mineral buildup or sediment may have accumulated in the old water heater. This causes the water heater to be much

heavier than normal and this residue, if spilled out, could cause staining.
