Product Information
The GG40T10BXR is a water heater that requires installation in accordance with
the provided instructions, local codes, utility company requirements, or the
latest edition of the National Electrical Code. It is recommended to refer to
the installation instruction packed with the water heater for complete
information.
The water heater has a dimension of 58-1/2 inches and is listed by
Underwriters Laboratories. It is also certified to NSF/ANSI 372 for lead
content. For power requirements, it is important to check the markings on the
rating plate of the water heater to
ensure that the power supply corresponds to the water heater requirements.
The location of the water heater should be in a clean dry area near the area
with the highest demand for heated water. Long uninsulated hot water lines can
result in energy and water waste. It is necessary to maintain sufficient
clearances around the water heater for service access. Additionally,
earthquake straps may require minimal clearance on the sides or rear of the
unit.
