FOR CALIFORNIA INSTALLATION THIS WATER HEATER MUST BE
BRACED, ANCHORED, OR STRAPPED TO AVOID FALLING OR
MOVING DURING AN EARTHQUAKE. SEE INSTRUCTIONS FOR
CORRECT INSTALLATION PROCEDURES. INSTRUCTIONS MAY BE
OBTAINED FROM YOUR LOCAL DEALER, WHOLESALER, PUBLIC
UTILITIES OR CALIFORNIA'S OFFICE OF THE STATE ARCHITECT,
400 P STREET, SACRAMENTO, CA 95814.
REQUIRED ABILITY
INSTALLATION OR SERVICE OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES
ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED TRADESMAN IN
THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING AND ELECTRICAL WORK ARE
REQUIRED.
GENERAL
The installation must conform to these instructions, the local code authority
having jurisdiction, and the requirements of the power company. In the
absence of code requirements follow NFPA-70 (latest edition), The National
Electrical Code which may be ordered from: National Fire Protection
Association, 1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269.
WATER HEATER LOCATION
A minimum clearance of 4" must be allowed for access to replaceable
parts such as the thermostats, drain valve and relief valve.
Adequate clearance for servicing this appliance should be considered
before installation, such as changing the anodes, etc.
The water heater should be located as close to or centralized to the water
piping system as possible. The water heater should be located in an area
not subject to freezing temperatures.
THE HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE LEAKAGE
OF THE TANK OR CONNECTIONS WILL NOT RESULT IN DAMAGE
TO THE AREA ADJACENT TO THE HEATER OR TO LOWER FLOORS
OF THE STRUCTURE.
When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable
drain pan piped to an adequate drain should be installed under the heater.
Such pans should have a minimum length and width of at least 2 inches
greater than the diameter of the heater and should be piped to an adequate
drain. Drain pans suitable for these heaters are available from your
distributor or Water Products Company, 5621 W. 115th Street, Alsip, IL
60803.
Under no circumstances is the manufacturer to be held liable for any
water damage in connection with this water heater.
HEATERS WITHOUT DRAIN VALVES:
For convenience of service, it is recommended that a drain valve be
installed in the inlet piping, as close to the heater as possible, see page 2.
AN ELECTRICAL GROUND IS REQUIRED TO REDUCE RISK OF
ELECTRIC SHOCK OR POSSIBLE ELECTROCUTION. THE GROUND
SCREW AT THE JUNCTION BOX IS FOR BONDING THE HEATER TO
A GROUNDED SERVICE ENTRANCE CONDUCTOR, A GROUNDED
SERVICE ENTRANCE RACEWAY, OR AN EARTH GROUNDING
ELECTRODE CONDUCTOR.
WATER CONNECTIONS
See page 2 for typical installation. Make sure a suitable pipe thread sealant
is used to prevent leakage.

WARNING
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
A NEW TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE COMPLYING
WITH THE STANDARD FOR RELIEF VALVES FOR HOT WATER
SUPPLY SYSTEMS, ANSI Z21.22 MUST BE INSTALLED IN THE
HEATER IN THE MARKED OPENING PROVIDED. THE VALVE MUST
BE OF A SIZE (INPUT RATING) THAT WILL BE ADEQUATE FOR YOUR
SIZE HEATER.
Check the metal tag on the relief valve and compare it to the heater's
rating plate. The pressure rating of the relief valve must not exceed the
working pressure shown on the rating plate of the heater and the hourly
Btu rated temperature steam discharge capacity of the relief valve shall
not be less than the input rating of the heater. (Watts x 3.415 = Btu/hr.
rate)
NO VALVE IS TO BE PLACED BETWEEN THE RELIEF VALVE
AND TANK. DO NOT PLUG THE RELIEF VALVE.
The drain line connected to this valve must not contain a reducing coupling
or other restriction and should terminate near a suitable drain to prevent
water damage during valve operation. Discharge line shall be installed to
allow complete drainage of both the valve and line. DO NOT THREAD,
PLUG OR CAP THE END OF THE DRAIN LINE.
CLOSED WATER SYSTEM
A closed system will exist if a back-flow preventer (check valve), pressure
reducing valve, or other similar device is installed in the cold water line
between the water heater and the street main (or well). Excessive pressure
may develop due to the thermal expansion of heated water causing
premature tank failure or intermittent relief valve operation. This type of
failure is not covered by the limited warranty. An expansion tank may be
necessary in the cold water supply to alleviate this situation, see page 2.
Contact the local plumbing authority.
PIPE INSULATION - (SELECTED MODELS)
1. Remove pipe insulation from carton.
2. Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot water
line. Make sure that the insulation is against top cover of the heater.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The heater internal wiring conforms with one of the diagrams on page 4.
The heater data plate identifies this wiring by designation in the space
marked CIRCUIT. The voltage and wattage ratings are also shown on the
plate.
REMOVING PANELS FROM TABLE TOP MODELS
The drain valve, electrical components and wiring leads are situated behind
the front panel. To remove:
1. Turn off the heater electrical supply.
2. Remove screw at bottom of front panel and using the finger catch at
the bottom, pull panel outward.
3. Lower front panel to clear top panel and remove.
4. Fold aside the insulation to uncover the components behind their
electrical barriers.
5. Remove top panel by removing screw and hook under front edge.
Slide panel toward front of heater.
