Page 7: Electrical Connections
Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing supplier. 4. If installing the water heater in a closed water system, install an expansion tank in the cold water line as speci- fied under “Closed System/Thermal Expansion”. -
Page 8: Installation Check List
If the heater is located a long distance away from the electrical supply, the wire size of the branch circuit should be increased. The voltage measured at the heater should not be less than 3% lower than what is meas- ured at the supply. -
Page 9: Temperature Control
All electric water heaters feature fully automatic controls to regulate the water temperature. The thermostat supplied with the water heater may be either an immersion or a sur- face mounted type. Both types of thermostats use contact relays to energize the electric heating elements. The ther- mostats are located in the bottom control panel. -
