Installation (Combustion Air Supply) continued-
The water heater and individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at
test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The water heater must be
isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa). The supply line must be
capped when not connected to the water heater.
3. While checking for leaks care must be taken to prevent solution from
contacting the electrical connections at the control. If electrical
connections at the control become wet, they must be thoroughly dried
before attempting to operate the water heater.
The gas inlet pressure to the gas control must never exceed 14
inches of water column (1/2 psi). The gas supply system and any
pressure regulating device in the gas line must be specified,
inspected and adjusted to assure a gas supply pressure of 1/2 psi or
less. Failure to do so may result in severe injury or death.
GENERAL OPERATION
Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or injury
there must be no materials stored against the water heater or vent-air
intake system, and proper care must be taken to avoid unnecessary
contact (especially by children) with the water heater and vent-air intake
system. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL FLAMMABLE
MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER TO BE
USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER,
VENT-AIR INTAKE SYSTEM OR IN ANY LOCATION FROM WHICH
FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER OR VENT-AIR
INTAKE SYSTEM.
TO FILL THE WATER HEATER
1. Close the water heater drain valve by turning the knob clockwise
2. Open the cold-water supply shut-off valve.
3. Open several hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the system.
4. When a steady stream of water flows from the faucets, the water heater is
filled. Close the faucets and check for water leaks at the water heater
drain valve, combination temperature and pressure relief valve and the hot
and cold-water connections.
