Product Damage - Girard Products GSWH-1 Owner's Manual

Partially insert the water heater into the opening and connect both Hot and Cold water lines to the
appropriate ½"NPT fittings. Connections can be made using PEX swivel nut adaptors with NPS
straight threads and a cone seal or with a standard ½"FPT nut. The PEX swivel nuts require only
hand tightening. When using a standard ½"FPT nut use Teflon tape and/or PTFE pipe paste and
do not over-tighten (Figure 2, page 6).
• Excessive torque will damage the Cold Water and Hot Water Inlets.
DO NOT over tighten.
Connect the gas using a 3/8" LP Gas line. Place the grommet on the line ahead of the
compression nut before flaring the tube (Figure 2). Use additional caulking as needed to
complete a permanent seal with the housing around the rubber grommet.

• DO NOT cut any wires.
• The length of the external wires, those wires extending beyond the strain relief
from the rear of the housing (Figure 2), must NOT be shortened for any reason.
Shortening these wires will prevent the removal of the Control Housing during
servicing and/or testing.
