This water heater shall not be connected to any heating
systems or component(s) used with a non-potable water
heating appliance.
If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply sys-
tem; 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 wate_fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-
electric unions or couplings I_e installed on this water
heater when connectedto copper pipe.
The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping
to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4
inch water connections.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an
adapter before attac]_ing the adaptor to the cola water
inlet connection. Do not solder the cold water supply
line directly to the cold water inlet. It will harm the iJip
tube and damage the tank.
1. 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 andaround both ends of the 3/4"threaded nip-
ple. Using flexible connectors, connect the hot water
pipe to the hot water outlet on the water heater.
2. 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 3/4"
threaded nipple. Using flexible connectors, connect
the cold water pipe to .the cold water inlet ofthe water
heater.
NOTE: This water heater is super insulated to mini-
mize heat loss from the tank. Further reduction in
heat loss can be accomplished by insulating the hot
water lines from the water heater.
