General Information continued- A sacrificial anode is used to extend tank life. Removal of this anode, for any reason, will nullify the warranty. In areas where water is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet due to a reaction between the sacrificial anode and impurities in the water. If this should happen, an alternative anode may be purchased from the supplier that installed this water heater. This will minimize the odor while protecting the tank. Additionall

Locating The Water Heater continued- DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be subjected to freezing temperatures. Locate the water heater so that access panels and drain valves are accessible. Some models are not equipped with a drain valve. For those models, install a drain tee in the cold water inlet as close as practical to the water heater. Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the heating and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Exampl

Water Connections NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting the main water supply valve, open a faucet to relieve the water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes while making the water connections to the water heater. After the pressure has been relieved, close the faucet. The COLD water inlet and HOT water outlet are identified on top of the water heater. The fittings at the cold water inlet and ho

Water Connections continued- WARNING Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by this water heater that has not been used for a long period of time (generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will

Water Connections continued- Utility Models (See Figure 2) The hot and cold water connections are identified on the side of the water heater. Connect the hot and cold water lines to the installed nipples using unions. Install a listed temperature-pressure relief valve in the opening on the side of the water heater. Install a vacuum relief anti-siphon device in the cold water inlet line when using the side cold water connection. The 6 and 12 gallon models are equipped for installat

Water Connections continued- Table Top Models (See Figure 3) The hot water outlet and cold water inlet are identified on the back panel of the water heater. Referring to figure 3, remove the two screws that are holding the service access panel in place. Remove front panel for access. Wedge a flat bladed screwdriver into the front joint between the top and side panels and force the top panel upward. This will separate the top panel from the water heater and allow further access to t
