Proper location for installing your
heater
Carefully select the location of the water heater.
Follow the guidelines below:
B 1. Locate the heater where an adequate gas line size
and
plumbing
connections
convenient.
B 2. The hot water lines should be kept short to save
energy. Centrally locating the water heater is best. It
is always best to have hot water lines insulated to
prevent the possibility of any freeze damage.
B 3. The water in this heater is cold and always remains
cold except for the times that hot water is being used.
The heater is equipped with freeze prevention
equipment that will operate and prevent freezing of
the water in the heater to 5°F with no wind chill.
Electrical power must be maintained to the heater to
allow this to function.
WARNING: Proper insulation of the
water lines below the heater is required
if below freezing temperatures, below
32°F, are ever anticipated!
Danger: If the temperature drops
below 32°F, freeze damage to the water
heater itself must be prevented by
turning off the power to the heater, then
disconnecting the plumbing conne-
ctions, as well as removing the drain
plug and introducing short bursts of
compressed air (20-40 psi) through the
heater's connections. This will remove
the residual water in the horizontal
pipes and water valve.
Danger: Keep children away as the top
of the water heater vent cap will get very
hot during operation. Install in a place
that prevents the top of the heater being
reached by small children.
