Instructions for Installation (cont’d)

Locating The New Water Heater

You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water heater, because the placement is a very important con- sideration for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most economical use of the appliance. This water heater is not intended for outdoor installation.

Whether replacing an old water heater or putting the water heater in a new location, the following critical points must be observed.

1.The location selected should be indoors as close to and as centralized with the water piping system as possible. This water heater, as well as all water heaters, will eventually leak. Do not install without adequate drainage provisions where water flow will cause damage.

CAUTION

WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow of water will not cause damage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install the water heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater. Drain pans are available at your local hardware store. Such a drain pan must have a minimum diam- eter of at least 13⁄4 inches greater than the water heater diameter and must be piped to an adequate drain.

CAUTION

INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES: The water heater must be located and/or protected so it is not subject to physical damage by a moving vehicle.

2.The location selection must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater.

Typical Installation

CHECK ALL CONNECTIONS FOR LEAKS.

CONSULT THE LOCAL UTILITY COMPANY TO EXAM- INE INSTALLATION FOR PROPRIETY AND SAFETY.

* WARNING

HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently 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 handi- capped. 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 temperature water at the hot water tap, then you must take special pre- cautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, should 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 manu- facturers instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermo- stat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section in this manual.
