    Figure 7 shows the typical attachment of the water piping to the water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4 inch NPT water connections. NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet connection. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the cold water inlet, it will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.

    The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be taken to ensure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water may be extremely hot.

  • Page 12: Temperature Regulation

    TEMPERATURE REGULATION Due to the nature of the typical water heater, the water temperature in certain situations may vary up to 30°F (16.7 °C) higher or lower at the point of use such as, bathtubs, showers, sink, etc. Any water heater’s intended purpose is to heat water. Hot water is needed for cleansing, cleaning, and sanitizing (bodies, dishes, clothing).

  • Page 13: For Your Information

    FOR YOUR INFORMATION THERMAL EXPANSION Water supply systems may, because of such events as high line pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back flow preventers, etc. to control these types of problems. When these devices are not equipped with an internal by-pass, and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be closed.

  • Page 14: Periodic Maintenance

    TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OPERATION The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. When checking the temperature-pressure relief valve operation, make sure that (1) no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature- pressure relief valve discharge line, and (2) that the water discharge will not cause any property damage, as the water may be extremely hot, see Figure 9.
