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 removal of any anodes,
except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. 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.
