DECIDING ON THE TYPE OF INSTALLATION
There are typically two different types of installations. The installation
section of this manual has been broken into these two methods:

installation you have. After finding out what type of installation you
have, look at the options:
Section A
Galvanized Pipe or Copper (Sweat) Piping
The original piping is galvanized pipe or sweat copper and you are
going to use a "Water Heater Installation Kit".
