FOR INSTALLATIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

California Law requires that residential water heaters must be braced, anchored or

strapped to resist falling or horizontal displacement due to earthquake motions. For

residential water heaters up to 52 gallon capacity, a brochure with generic earthquake

bracing instructions can be obtained from: Office of the State Architect, 400 P Street,

Sacramento, CA 95814 or you may call 916-324-5315 or ask a water heater dealer.

However, applicable local codes shall govern installation. For residential water heaters

of a capacity greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable

bracing procedures.

READ AND FOLLOW THIS SAFETY INFORMATION

CAREFULLY.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Have the installer show you the location of the circuit breaker and how to shut it off if

necessary. Turn off the circuit breaker if the water heater has been subjected to overheating,

fire, flood, physical damage or if the ECO fails to shut off.

●Read this manual entirely before installing

or operating the water heater.

●Use this appliance only for its intended

purpose as described in this Use and Care

Manual.

●Be sure your appliance is properly installed

in accordance with local codes and the

provided installation instructions.

●Do not attempt to repair or replace any part

of your water heater unless it is specifically

recommended in this manual. All other

servicing should be referred to a qualified

technician.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Installing the water heater.

The location chosen for the water heater must take into consideration the following:

Local Installation Regulations

This water heater must be installed in

accordance with these instructions, local

codes, utility codes, utility company

requirements or, in the absence of local

codes, the latest edition of the National

Electrical Code. It is available from some

local libraries or can be purchased from

the National Fire Protection Association,

Batterymarch park, Quincy, MA 02269 as

booklet ANSI/NFPA 70.

Location

Locate the water heater in a clean dry area

as near as practical to the area of greatest

heated water demand. Long uninsulated hot

water lines can waste energy and water.

Place the water heater in such a manner

that the thermostat and element access

panels can be removed to permit

inspection and servicing such as removal

of elements or checking controls.

The water heater and water lines should be

protected from freezing temperatures. Do

not install the water heater in outdoor,

unprotected areas.

Make certain the floor underneath the

water heater is strong enough to

sufficiently support the weight of the

water heater once it is filled with water.

CAUTION: The water heater should not

be located in an area where leakage of the

tank or connections will result in damage to

the area adjacent to it or to lower floors of

the structure. Where such areas cannot be

avoided, it is recommended that a suitable

catch pan, adequately drained, be installed

under the water heater.

A—Diameter of water

heater plus 2″min.

B—Maximum 2″

NOTICE: Auxiliary catch pan MUST conform to local codes.

Catch Pan Kits are available from the store where the water heater was

purchased, or any water heater distributor.

ATo open drain, line should

be at least 3/4″ID and

pitched for proper

drainage.

Inspect Shipment

Inspect the water heater for possible damage. Check the markings on the rating plate of

the water heater to be certain the power supply corresponds to the water heater

requirements.

Installing the water heater.

Thermal Expansion

Typical Installation

Determine if a check valve exists in the inlet water line. Check with your local water

utility. It may have been installed in the cold water line as a separate back flow preventer, or it

may be part of a pressure reducing valve, water meter or water softener. A check valve located

in the cold water inlet line can cause what is referred to as a “closed water system”. A cold

water inlet line with no check valve or back flow prevention device is referred to as an “open”

water system.

As water is heated, it expands in volume and creates an increase in the pressure within the

water system. This action is referred to as “thermal expansion”. In an “open” water system,

expanding water which exceeds the capacity of the water heater flows back into the city main

where the pressure is easily dissipated.

A“closed water system”, however, prevents the expanding water from flowing back into the

main supply line, and the result of “thermal expansion” can create a rapid and dangerous

pressure increase in the water heater and system piping. This rapid pressure increase can

quickly reach the safety setting of the relief valve, causing it to operate during each heating

cycle. Thermal expansion, and the resulting rapid and repeated expansion and contraction of

components in the water heater and piping system can cause premature failure of the relief

valve, and possibly the heater itself. Replacing the relief valve will not correct the problem!

The suggested method of controlling thermal expansion is to install an expansion tank in the

cold water line between the water heater and the check valve (refer to the illustration below).

The expansion tank is designed with an air cushion built in that compresses as the system

pressure increases, thereby relieving the over pressure condition and eliminating the repeated

operation of the relief valve. Other methods of controlling thermal expansion are also available.

Contact your installing contractor, water supplier or plumbing inspector for additional

information regarding this subject.

NOTICE: Do not apply heat to

the HOT or COLD water

connections. If sweat

connections are used, sweat

tubing to adapter before fitting

adapter to the water

connections on heater. Any

heat applied to the water

supply fittings will

permanently damage the dip

tube and/or heat traps.

Water Supply Connections

Refer to the illustration below for suggested typical installation. The installation of unions or

flexible copper connectors is recommended on the hot and cold water connections so that the

water heater may be easily disconnected for servicing if necessary. The HOT and COLD

water connections are clearly marked and are 3/4″NPT on all models. Install a shut-off valve

in the cold water line near the water heater.

WARNING: The pressure

rating of the relief valve must

not exceed 150 PSI, the

maximum working pressure of

the water heater as marked on

the rating plate.

A new combination temperature and pressure relief valve, complying with the Standard for Relief

Valves and Automatic Gas Shut-Off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, is supplied

and must be installed in the opening provided and marked for the purpose on the water heater. No

valve of any type should be installed between the relief valve and the tank. Local codes shall govern the

installation of relief valves.

Relief Valve

The BTUH rating of the relief valve must

not be less than the input rating of the

water heater as indicated on the rating

label located on the front of the heater

(1 watt=3.412 BTUH).

Connect the outlet of the relief valve

to a suitable open drain so that the

discharge water cannot contact live

electrical parts or persons and to eliminate

potential water damage.

Piping used should be of a type approved

for hot water distribution. The discharge

line must be no smaller than the outlet of

the valve and must pitch downward from

the valve to allow complete drainage (by

gravity) of the relief valve and discharge

line. The end of the discharge line should

not be threaded or concealed and should

be protected from freezing. No valve of

any type, restriction or reducer coupling

should be installed in the discharge line.

To Fill the Water Heater

Make certain the drain valve is completely

closed.

Open the shut-off valve in the cold water

supply line.

Open each hot water faucet slowly to

allow the air to vent from the water

heater and piping.

A steady flow of water from the hot water

faucet(s) indicates a full water heater.

WARNING: The tank must

be full of water before heater

is turned on. The water heater

warranty does not cover

damage or failure resulting

from operation with an empty

or partially empty tank.

Condensation

Condensation can form on the tank when

it is first filled with water. Condensation

might also occur with a heavy water draw

and very cold inlet water temperature.

This condition is not unusual, and will

disappear after the water becomes heated.

If, however, the condensation continues,

examine the piping and fittings for

possible leaks.
