Page 10: Installing The Water Heater
INSTALLING THE NEW WATER HEATER WATER PIPING As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water. The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and increases the pressure of the water system.

Figure 9 shows the typical attachment of the water piping to the water The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed heater. The water heater is equipped with 3/4 inch NPT water the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water connections.
Page 12: Filling The Water Heater
FIGURE 10. FILLING THE WATER HEATER To insure proper venting of this gas-fired water heater, the correct vent pipe diameter must be utilized. Any additions or deletions of other gas appliances on a common vent with this water heater may adversely affect the operation of the water heater.

TEMPERATURE REGULATION NOTE: A water temperature range of 120°F-140°F (49°C-60°C) is Due to the nature of the typical gas water heater, the water recommended by most dishwasher manufacturers. temperature in certain situations may vary up to 30F° (16.7 C°) higher or lower at the point of use such as, bathtubs, showers, The thermostat of this water heater has been factory set at its lowest sink, etc.
Page 17: Smoke/Odor
OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS Because of the suddenness and amount of water, condensation water may be diagnosed as a “tank leak”. After the water in the tank warms up (about 1-2 hours), the condition should disappear. SMELLY WATER Do not assume the water heater is leaking until there has been enough In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod (see time for the water in the tank to warm up.
Page 18: Periodic Maintenance
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE VENTING SYSTEM INSPECTION You should check for sooting. Soot is not normal and will impair proper combustion. Soot build-up indicates a problem that requires correction before further use. Turn “OFF” gas to water heater and leave off until repairs are made, because failure to correct the cause of the sooting can result in a fire causing death, serious injury, or property damage.
