Water Piping

AWARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a tem- )erature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and )ermanently injure you upon contact_ Some people are

more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or

physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a certain tem- )erature water at the hot water tap_ then you must tal(e special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possi-

ble temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, shall be used at the hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the valves_ Before changing the factory set-

ting on the thermostat, read the "Temperature

Regulation" section in this manual.

The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the

water heater. The water heater is equipped with ¾" water

conNectlons_

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: 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 taul_

•Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water oudet 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 of the water heater

•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 ¾" threaded nipple, Using flexible

connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold water inlet of the water heater.

NOTE: Your water heater is super insulated to minimize heat loss from the tanl¢_ Further reduction in heat loss can be

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