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 fight side 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 threaded-to-sweat cou-
pling and around both ends of the _A" threaded nipple. Using
flexible connectors, connect the cold water pipe to the cold
water inlet of the water heater.

TEST
This section is only for the mobile home manufacturerinstalling
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
shaft be made by subjecting the system to air or water at 100
psi for 15 minutes without loss of ptessure. When air pres-
sure is used, the water heater shall not be connected dur-
hag the test."
NOTE: This water heater
is insulated
to minimize
heat loss
ficom the tank. Further reduction
in heat loss can be accom-
plished
by insulating the hot water lines from the water
