ance.

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 fittings, it is strongly recommended that dielec-

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 / inch water connections.

NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connec-
