Property Damage Hazard
, Avoid water heater damage
• Install thermal expansion tank if necessary.
Do not apply heat to cold water inlet
Contact qualified installer or Sears Service CenteL
Figure 15 shows the typical attachment of the water piping to
the water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4" NPT
water connections.

water inlet of the water heater.
NOTE: This water heater is super insulated to minimize
heat moss from the tank. Further reduction in heat loss
can be accomplished by insulating the hot water lines
from the water heater.

NOTE: mfusing copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet
connection. Do not somder the cold water suppmy mine directly
to the cored water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage
the tank.
Look at the top cover of the water heater. The water outlet is
marked "HOT". Put two or three turns of teflon tape around
the threaded end of the threadedoto-sweat coupling and
around both ends of the 3/4" NPT threaded nipple. Using
flexible connectors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot
water outlet on the water heater.
Look at the top of the water heater. The cold water inlet is
marked "COLD". Put two or three turns of teflon tape around
the threaded end of the threadedoto-sweat coupling and
around both ends of the 3/4" NPT threaded nipple. Using
FIGURE 15A.
Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold ,water line and the hot
water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top
cover of the heater.
Fit T & P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation
does not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve.
Secure al! insulation using tape.
Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve
13
Expmosion Hazard
• Temperature-pressure relief valve
must comply with ANSi Z21.22
and ASME code.
• Properly sized temperature-
pressure relief valve must be
installed in opening provided.
• Can result in overheating and
excessive tank pressure•
• Can cause serious injury or death•
This heater is provided with a properly certified combination
temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.
The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing
laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of
listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for
Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water
Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 and the code requirements of
ASME.
