Installation Instructions (cont'd)
Water Piping (cont'd)
• 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 threaded-to-sweat coupling and around
both ends of the ¾ threaded nipple. Using flexible connec-
tors, connect the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet of the
water heater.
• Look at the lower right side of the water heater. The cold
water inlet is markedcold. Put two or three turns of teflon
tape around the threaded end of the, threaded-to-sweat cou-
plingand around both ends ofthe_ threaded nipple. Using
flexible connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold
water inlet of the water heater.
WATER PIPING PRESSURE TEST
This _ection is only for the mobile home manufacturer installing
the water heater when the installation is to comply with H.U.D.
Standards.
When testing the water ways, H.U.D. Standards state:
"Water distribution system. All water piping in the water dis-
tribution system shall be subjected to a pressure test. The test
shall be made by subjecting the system to air or water at 100
psi for 15 minutes without loss of pressure. When air pres-
sure is used, the water heater shall not be connected dur-
ing the test."
NOTE: This water heater is insulated to minimize heat loss
from the tank. Further reductipn in heat loss can be accom-
[lished by insulating the hot water lines from the water
eate_

AWARNING
If the water piping system is to be air pressure test-
ed, the water heater must be disconnected from
the water piping system. Failure to disconnect the
water heater during air pressure testing of the
water piping system could result IN DEATH, SERI-
