PART IDENTIFICATION

THIS PRODUCT IS DESIGNED TO BE INSTALLED INDOORS ONLY.

THE FOLLOWING SHOULD BE CONSIDERED WHEN SELECTING A LOCATION IN WHICH TO INSTALL THE HEATER:

●The existing plumbing configuration. It is preferable to mount the unit in a location which will not

require major plumbing alterations.

●The location of the main electrical panel. Mounting the unit in close proximity to the main electrical panel

will reduce the quantity of wire needed for installation.

●Locations of the kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry area. Ideally the water heater should be installed near

the hot water applications (such as faucets or showers) which are used the most frequently. This will

allow for the most rapid delivery of hot water on demand.

●Ease of access to the unit for service. Do not install the water heater in a location which is difficult to

access for maintenance or to adjust the thermostat setting. Typically, the tankless hot water heater will

be mounted near the location of the previous tank hot water heater. This product does not require

venting.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR SELECTING AN INSTALLATION SITE:

●DO NOT install the unit where it may come into contact with combustible materials. A minimum of 24

inches clearance must be maintained between combustible materials and the hot water heater and the

outlet hot water pipe.

●DO install the unit out of the reach of children to avoid injury or tampering with the water temperature

setting. The hot water outlet pipe can become very hot and should not be touched.

●DO NOT install the unit in a location where it might come into contact with water, excess dust, high

humidity, or any other form of moisture. Do not install the unit under water pipes or air conditioning

lines, as they may leak or drip condensation onto the water heater.

●DO NOT install the water heater above electrical boxes or junctions.

4 / 25

SELECTING A LOCATION FOR INSTALLATION

YOU MAY BE ABLE TO INSTALL THE WATER HEATER IN AN OUTDOOR LOCATION ONLY IF THE FOLLOWING

CONDITIONS ARE MET:

●The heater is mounted in a suitable enclosure that protects it from rain, splashed water, direct sunlight,

debris, and insects.

●DO NOT install the unit in a location where it may be subjected to freezing temperatures. If water inside

the unit freezes, it can cause permanent damage to the heater which is not covered under warranty. If

you ever suspect that water may have frozen inside your water heater, allow it to thaw and check the

system for leaks before turning it on. Contact Ecosmart technical support for instructions.

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLATION ON A SECOND FLOOR OR IN A HEATED ATTIC:

●Always follow all local codes in your area for installing a water heater in these locations.

●Install a drip pan connected to a safe drain below the water heater to avoid property damage in the

unlikely event of a leak.

●Alternatively, an active water leak detector and shut off valve may be installed which will automatically

turn off the water supply in the unlikely event that a leak is detected. Ecosmart recommends the

FloodStopper by First Smart Sensor Corp. - www.a-leak-detector.com.

5 / 25

●Select a mounting location which is solid and secure.

●Install the water heater in an upright position with the inlet and outlet water connections at bottom of the

unit. Ensure unit is level prior to securing the screws.

●The water heater should be mounted using a total of 4 screws through the built-in mounting brackets on

each side of the unit. Minimum screw length is 1 inch long.

●Recommended clearances: 12” above and below the unit, 6” on each side, and 6” to front panel.

A MINIMUM OF 24 INCHES CLEARANCE MUST BE MAINTAINED BETWEEN COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS AND THE HOT WATER HEATER AND THE OUTLET HOT WATER PIPE.

6 / 25

MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

THE WATER HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED PLUMBER IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL

NATIONAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND/OR PROVINCIAL PLUMBING CODES.

GENERAL PLUMBING GUIDELINES:

●The Ecosmart electric tankless water heater is supplied with 1/2” compression fittings.Do not

weld, use paste, or Teflon on fittings. Use of solder on the water inlet or outlet connections

can damage the flow sensor and will void the warranty.

●When connecting the inlet water hose to the unit, use one wrench to hold the unit's connection

and a second wrench to tighten the hose. This will avoid potentially loosening or damaging the

flow sensor. Over-tightening inlet connections can cause serious damage to the water heater

which is not covered under warranty.

●Use of water heater flex hoses is recommended for ease of installation. It is recommended that

copper pipe be used within 3 feet of the inlet and outlet hoses. Other forms of plastic tubing

may also be acceptable as long as it is rated for high temperature applications.

●Use of a temperature pressure relief valve (T&P) is not required for most installations because

this water heater is tankless and does not store water. However, the valve is recommended

when connecting to flex or high temperature CPVC pipes for added safety. If a T&P valve is

used, it should be connected to a drain. Before installing the water heater, ensure that the

valve is operating correctly and that the air has been purged from the valve. Local code may

also require the use of a T&P valve – check your local requirements and follow them

accordingly. All installations in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the State of Kentucky

require the use of a pressure relief valve.

●The maximum recommended water pressure for this product is 100 PSI. In homes where water

pressure is higher, it is recommended that a pressure reduction valve be installed on the main

incoming water supply line prior to installing the water heater.

PLUMBING

PLUMBING INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Connect the cold water supply line to the right side of the unit (cold water inlet). It is

recommended that a manual shut off valve (ball valve) be installed at the cold water inlet so

that a convenient water shut off point is available for future maintenance.

2. Connect the hot water supply line to the left side of the unit (hot water inlet).

3. Before connecting pipes to the water hoses, it is extremely important to FLUSH the lines to

eliminate any plumbing paste or residue in the lines. Flex water heater hoses are

recommended for ease of installation.

4. After both water lines are fastened securely, run water through the unit for at least 2 to 3

minutes to flush out any air pockets in the lines (PURGING). It is recommended that all faucets,

showers, etc. be run during this process. Failure to purge the lines of air can cause permanent

damage to the unit. This procedure MUST be performed before the electrical power is turned

on. Repeat the procedure after any maintenance to the water heater or home's plumbing

system is performed that may introduce air into the pipes.

5. Carefully inspect all connections, unions, and the pressure relief valve (if used) for leaks.

6. Install the water pan if needed (see special instructions for installation on a second floor or in

a heated attic on page 5)

●The Ecosmart electric tankless water heater unit must be installed to independent

double pole breakers as per model specifications below.

●Each Ecosmart model comes supplied with the required wires for installation.

●Breaker size and wire gauge must meet all applicable local, state, provincial, and

national electrical codes for your area – these are only guidelines that will apply to

most installations. In the United States, wires and circuit protection (breakers) must

comply with the U.S. National Electric Code (NEC) and in Canada with the Canadian

National Electric Code (CEC). Please note that the CEC generally requires that all

supply wires and breakers used for domestic hot water heating and hydronic

heating applications be sized to a minimum of 125% of the maximum current rating

of the water heater (see model specifications below for details).

9 / 25

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

●Some codes require use of electrical sub-panel for installation, especially when

heater is not mounted within line-of-sight of the main electrical panel. Wiring

should be sized to maintain a voltage drop of less than 3% under load.

●If your home is already equipped with a large number of electrical appliances, you

may require a larger electrical service than the one recommended. Before

installation, ensure that the home has sufficient electrical power available to handle

the maximum amperage load of the model.
