General Info continued-
Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the
temperature and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches
above, or any distance below, the structural floor and cannot
contact any live electrical part. The discharge line is to be installed
to allow for complete drainage of both the temperature and pressure
relief valve and the discharge line. The discharge opening must not
be subjected to blockage or freezing. DO NOT thread, plug, or cap
the discharge line. It is recommended that a minimum clearance of
four (4) inches be provided on the side of the water heater for
servicing and maintenance of the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve
Do not place a valve between the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve and the tank!
SACRIFICIAL ANODES — Two sacrificial anode rods have been
installed in the tank head to extend tank life. The anode rods should be
inspected annually to determine the amount of sacrificial decay and
replaced when necessary to prolong tank life. Water conditions in your
area will influence the time interval for inspection and replacement of the
anode rod. The use of a water softener may increase the speed of anode
consumption. More frequent inspection of the anode is needed when
using softened (or phosphate treated) water. Contact the plumbing
professional who installed the water heater or the manufacturer, listed on
the rating plate, for anode replacement information.
