Water Connections - Bradford White SW-2-40R-L Installation And Operating Manual

FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL
RELEASE THE MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM WHICH
MIGHT RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE AND
PRESSURES.
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that
has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time.
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To prevent the
possibility of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot
water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink
before you use any electrical appliance that is connected to the hot
water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be an unusual sound
such as air escaping through the pipes as hot water begins to flow.
DO NOT smoke or have open flame near the faucet at the time it is
open.
Keep clear of the temperature and pressure relief valve discharge
line outlet. The discharge may be hot enough to cause scald injury.
The water is under pressure and may splash.
If sweat fittings are to be used, DO NOT apply heat to the nipples
on top of the water heater. Sweat the tubing to the adapter before
fitting the adapter to the water connections. It is imperative that
heat is not applied to the nipples containing a plastic liner.
INSTALL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
(if not factory installed)
Temperature and pressure relief valve discharge piping must be
piped near the floor to eliminate potential of severe burns. DO NOT
pipe in any area where freezing could occur. DO NOT install any
shut-off valves, plugs or caps to the temperature and pressure relief
valve or piping.
