Securing Water Heater to
Floor and Wall
The water heater must be secured to the floor and to the wall
of the enclosure with the three mounting brackets and screws
packaged in the carton with the water heater. The two small
brackets stamped #0110064 are used to attach the water heater
to the floor and the one large #0110063 bracket is used to
secure the top of the water heater to the wall.
Because of installation variances these brackets can be located
at any points around the circumference of the jacket. When
the bracket locations are determined using the % drill bit for
a pattern,
drill only through the outer jacket of the water
heater. Then using the screws provided, secure the bracket to
the water heater, floor and wall.

If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system;
such as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water
meter with a check valve, etc.., in the cold water supply; means
shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the
local utility or local Sears Service Center on how to control this
situation.
NOTE:
To protect
against
untimely
corrosion of hot
and
cold water fittings, it is strongly recommended that di-elec-
trlc unions or couplings be installed
on this water heater
when connected to copper pipe.
The illustration shows the attachment of the water piping to the
water heater. The water heater is equipped with 3A"water con-
nections.
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adaptor to the cold water inlet connec-
tion. Do not solder the cold water supply line directly to the
cold water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the
tank.
