A gas line of sufficient size must be run to the water heater. Consult the latest edition of National Fuel Gas Code ANSI

Z223.1, also referred to as NFPA54 and the gas company con-

cerning pipe size.

There must be:

•A readily accessible manual shut off valve in the gas supply line serving the water heater, and

•A drip leg (sediment trap) ahead of the gas control valve to help prevent dirt and foreign materials from entering the gas control

ValVe.

•A flexible gas connector or a ground joint union between the shutoffvalve and control valve to permit servicing of the unit.

Be sure to check all the gas piping for leaks before li_hting the water heater. Use a soapy water solution, not a match or open

flame. Rinse offsoapy solution and wipe dry.

Standard Models are for installation up to 3,300 feet above sea level.

High Altitude Models are for installation from 3,300 to 5,500 feet above sea level.

Ifa standard model is installed above 3,300 feet or a high altitude model is installed above 5,500 feet, the input rating must be reduced at the rate of 4 percent for each 1,000 feet above sea level. Contact your local Sears Service Center or gas utility for further information.

SEDIMENT TRAP

A sediment trap shall be installed as close to the inlet of the water heater as practical at the time of water heater installation. The sediment trap shall be either a tee fitting with a capped nip- ple in the bottom outlet or other device recognized as an effec-

tive sediment trap. If a tee fitting is used, it shall be installed in conformance with one of the methods of installation shown

below.

Connecting the gas piping to the gas control valve of the water heater can be accomplished by either of the two methods shown.

Sears has long been a household name in American retail history, with its roots dating back to the late 19th century. The brand has transformed over the years, adapting to changing consumer needs and market trends, and its products have evolved with advancements in technologies and consumer preferences.

At the core of Sears' appeal has traditionally been its diverse range of offerings, from appliances and tools to clothing and home goods. In particular, Sears has been known for its line of Kenmore appliances, which are celebrated for their reliability and efficiency. The Kenmore brand has continually introduced innovative technologies that enhance user experience, such as energy-efficient washing machines and smart refrigerators that can be monitored from smartphones.

Sears has also been at the forefront of implementing retail technologies. The use of barcode scanning and point of sale systems streamlined the shopping experience, allowing for quicker checkouts and more accurate inventory management. Additionally, Sears embraced e-commerce early in the internet revolution, providing customers with online shopping options that catered to the growing demand for convenience.

Another distinguishing feature of Sears is its commitment to private label brands, such as Craftsman and DieHard, known for their quality and performance. Craftsman tools have been a staple for DIY enthusiasts and professionals alike, offering a wide range of products from hand tools to power equipment. Similarly, DieHard batteries are synonymous with reliability, making them a top choice for consumers when it comes to automotive needs.

In recent years, Sears has faced significant challenges due to shifts in retail shopping behavior, with many consumers moving to online platforms and discount retailers. Despite this, the company is working to modernize its approach, focusing on the integration of an omnichannel strategy that marries in-store and online shopping experiences.

With the ongoing evolution of retail, Sears continues to adapt, leveraging its history and brand recognition while exploring new technologies and methods to capture the attention of a modern consumer base. Whether through enhancing its product offerings or embracing the latest retail technologies, Sears remains a significant player in the retail landscape, aiming to navigate the changing tides of consumer preferences and market conditions.
