To conserve water and energy, insulate all water

piping—especially the hot and recirculation
water lines. Never cover the drain or pressure
relief valve. If the water heater is installed in a
closed water supply system, such as one having
a backflow preventer in the cold water supply
line, means shall be provided to control thermal
expansion. Contact the water supplier or local
plumbing inspector for information about how to
control this situation.
After installing the water heater, clean the inlet
●
water filter that is located inside the cold water
inlet, and then test the water heater for proper
flow and inspect for leaks. Instruct the water
heater owner that the filter must be cleaned
periodically to maintain proper water flow.
