Water Piping; Temperature And Pressure-Relief Valve - Giant PV1 Owner's Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
5) Apply a thin coat of cement to the fitting, avoiding
puddling inside.
6) Apply a liberal coat of cement to the vent pipe, leav-
ing no voids.
7) QUICKLY assemble parts while cement is fluid! If
you wait too long, re-coat pipe/fitting.
8) Push the vent pipe completely into the PVC coupling,
turning as it goes until it bottoms out.
9) Hold pipe and fitting together for 30 seconds. Then care-
fully clean off any excess material with a cloth. Allow
connections a sufficient time to cure before disturbing.
10) Loosen the upper hose clamp on the rubber transition
fitting and fully insert the CPVC pipe of the vent sys-
tem adaptor (1" [2.5 cm] deep). Do not apply cement
to the rubber transition fitting.
11) Tighten the upper hose clamp to ensure the vent
pipe is firmly secured and gas tight.
12) Make sure that the lower hose clamp is firmly seated,
secured and gas tight. Gently move the vent pipe
side to side and vertically to ensure that it is securely
in place and that there is no slippage.
Note: If you are using CPVC pipes for the venting sys-
tem, the use of the vent system adaptor is not necessary.
WARNING
When the installation is complete, visually inspect the

venting system to make sure that all joints are prop-
erly connected and all instructions have been followed.
Failure to properly install the venting system could
result in property damage, personal injury or death.

The blower assembly must always have the two (2) inch rubber transition fitting. A reducing coupling
2" X 3" is necessary for a three (3) inch venting system. This coupling must be installed as close as
possible after the rubber transition fitting and in every case, before the first elbow.

Water Piping

Refer to Figure 11 for a typical installation. Use of this
layout should provide a trouble-free installation for the life
of the water heater. Before making the plumbing connec-
tions, locate the COLD water inlet and the HOT water
outlet. These fittings are both
Make sure that the dip-tube is installed in the cold water
inlet. Install a shut-off valve close to the water heater in
the cold water line. It is recommended that unions be
installed in the cold and hot water lines so that the water
heater can be easily disconnected, if servicing is required.
When assembling the hot and cold piping, use a good
food grade of pipe joint compound and ensure all fit-
tings are tight. It is imperative that open flame is not
applied to the inlet and outlet fittings, as heat will
damage or destroy the plastic-lined fittings. This will
result in premature failure of the fittings, which
is not covered by the warranty.

Temperature and Pressure-Relief Valve

DO NOT plug the temperature and pressure-
relief valve or its discharge line. DO NOT remove
the relief valve. Make sure the relief valve is
properly sized for the water heater. If the relief valve
continuously discharges water, call a qualified
service technician to correct the problem. Failure
to follow these instructions can result in property
damage, personal injury or death.
