Failure to install and maintain a new, listed pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from
any claim, which might result from excessive temperature and pressures.
Keep clear of the pressure relief valve discharge line outlet. The discharge may be hot enough to
cause scald injury. The water is under pressure and may splash.
DO NOT reverse the inlet and outlet (cold and hot water) connections on the water heater. This may
cause a hazardous operating condition or the water heater may be inoperable
