2. Mounting the Water Heater
WARNING: The water heater is heavy, lift with assistance.
CAUTION: Reinforce the wall if it is incapable of supporting
the weight of the water heater and water within it.
Instructions to mount the water heater to the wall:
1. Tape the wall template to the
desired location of the water
heater.
2. Hold the wall-mount bracket in
place and use a torpedo level to
ensure the bracket is level.
3. Affix the level bracket to the wall.
4. Lift the water heater up and align
the openings (A) on the back of
the water heater with the tongues
(B) on the wall-mount bracket.
3. Removing the Front Panel
1. Loosen the case
screws (top and

the top by two
hooks.
4. Connecting the Gas Supply
NOTE: Use two wrenches when tightening gas connections
to the water heater to avoid damage to the water heaters
gas connection.
1. Purge the gas line of any debris before connecting to the water heater.
2. Determine the proper gas line size.
3. Ensure the supplied appliance adapter (25 mm BSP to 1/2" NPT
reducer), already attached to the water heater, is tight before
connecting any piping to it.
CAUTION: Do not remove the supplied adapter and attach
3/4" NPT gas piping directly to the gas valve the gas valve
uses BSP threading not commonly used in North America.
4. Install all other shut-off valves, unions and components per your local
codes and the authorities having jurisdiction.
5. Perform a pressure test and check for leaks using a soap and bubble test.
NOTE: Rigid and flexible 1/2" gas piping can be used on the
water heater. Ensure the internal diameter of the flexible gas
pipe and it's connectors are large enough to handle the required
input btu's of the water heater.
Do not use corrugated appliance connectors with the water
heater as they may have large pressure drops across them
that may affect the performance of the water heater and result
in nuisance noises.
