NOTE: In the State of California, the water heater must be braced,
anchored, or strapped to avoid moving during an earthquake. Contact local
utilities for code requirements in your area. Visit http://www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov
or call 1-916-445-8100 and request
instructions.
However, applicable local codes shall govern installation. For residential
water heaters of a capacity of greater than 52 gallons, consult the local
building jurisdiction for acceptable bracing procedures.
- Check area around water heater. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable liquids.
DANGER
This water heater must not be located near flammable liquids such as gasoline,
butane, liquefied propane, adhesives, solvents, paint thinners, etc., as the
controls of this water heater could ignite these vapors and cause an explosion
resulting in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
- If the water heater is to replace an existing water heater, check for and correct any existing system problems such as:
- System leaks
- Location that could cause the system and water heater to freeze and leak
- Incorrectly-sized expansion tank
- This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.
C. Water Chemistry Requirements
CAUTION
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe
damage to the water heater and associated equipment. Westinghouse recommends
having water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is
necessary to install a water softener. It is important that the water
chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked
before installing the water heater, as water quality will affect the
reliability of the system. In addition, operating temperatures above 135oF
will further accelerate the build-up of lime scale and may shorten the service
life of the water heater. Failure of a water heater due to lime scale build-
up, low pH, or other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.
Outlined below are water quality parameters that need to be met in order for
the system to operate efficiently for many years. Water Hardness Water
hardness is mainly due to the presence of calcium and magnesium salts
dissolved in water. The concentration of these salts is expressed in mg/L,
ppm, or grains per gallon as a measure of relative water hardness. Grains per
gallon is the common reference used in the US water heater industry. Hardness
expressed as mg/L or ppm may be divided by 17.1 to convert to grains per
gallon. Water may be classified as very soft, slightly hard, moderately hard,
or hard based on its hardness number. The minerals in the water precipitate
out as the water is heated and cause accelerated lime scale accumulation on a
heat transfer surface. This lime scale build-up may result in premature
failure of the water heater.
Water that is classified as hard and very hard must be softened whl-026 Rev.
4.28.1 to avoid water heater failure.
CLASSIFICATION | MG/L OR PPM | GRAINS/GAL |
---|---|---|
Soft | 0 – 17.1 | 0 – 1 |
Slightly Hard | 17.1 – 60 | 1 – 3.5 |
Moderately Hard | 60 – 120 | 3.5 – 7 |
Hard | 120 – 180 | 7 – 10.5 |
Very Hard | 180 and over | 10.5 and over |
If the hardness of the water exceeds the maximum level of 12 grains per gallon, the water should be softened to a hardness level no lower than 5 grains per gallon. Water softened as low as 0 to 1 grain per gallon may be under-saturated with respect to calcium carbonate, resulting in water that is aggressive and corrosive.
pH of Water
pH is a measure of relative acidity, neutrality, or alkalinity. Dissolved
minerals and gases affect water pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Water
with a pH of 7 is considered neutral. Water with pH lower than 7 is considered
acidic. Water with a pH higher than 7 is considered alkaline. A neutral pH
(around 7) is desirable for most potable water applications. Corrosion damage
and tank failures resulting from water pH levels of lower than 6 or higher
than 8 ARE NOT covered by warranty. The ideal pH range for water used in a
water heater is 7.2 to 7.8.
Total Dissolved Solids
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a measurement of all minerals and solids
dissolved in a water sample. The concentration of TDS is usually expressed in
parts per million (ppm).
Water with a high TDS concentration will greatly accelerate lime and scale
formation in the hot water system. Most high TDS concentrations precipitate
out of the water when heated. This can generate a scale accumulation that will
greatly reduce the service life of the water heater.
The manufacturer of the water heater has no control over water quality,
especially TDS levels in your system. TDS in excess of 2000 ppm will
accelerate lime and scale formation on the element or the heat exchanger.
Water heater failure due to TDS in excess of 2000 ppm IS NOT covered by
warranty.
Failure of a water heater due to lime scale build-up IS NOT covered by warranty.
- Hardness: Less than 12 grains
- Chloride levels: Less than 100 ppm
- pH levels: 6 – 8
- TDS: Less than 2000 ppm
- Sodium: Less than 20 mG/L
CAUTION
Failure of electric elements due to lime scale build-up on the heating
surface, low pH, or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.
Part 3 – Piping
A. Plumbing
It is mandatory that all plumbing be done in accordance with federal, local,
and state plumbing codes and practices. Failure to properly install the water
heater WILL VOID the warranty. It is also necessary to use both thread tape
and pipe sealing compound on all mechanical plumbing connections.
It is recommended to use unions on the hot and cold water connections to
easily disconnect the water heater for servicing.
CAUTION
Dielectric unions or galvanized steel fittings must not be used in a system
with this water heater. Doing so WILL VOID the warranty. It is recommended to
use only copper, brass, or stainless steel fittings. Teflon thread sealant
must be used on all connections.
- Install a shut-off or check valve or both on the inlet connection on the top of the heater. Connect the cold water supply line to the shut-off valve or check valve. Refer to piping Applications, this manual.
CAUTION
Do not apply heat to the Hot or Cold water heater connections. If sweat
connections are used, sweat tubing to the adapter before fitting adapter to
the water connections on the heater. Any heat applied to the water heater
connections will permanently damage the dip tube and/or heat traps. Damages
due to improper installation practices ARE NOT covered by warranty.
- Connect the hot water line to the connection marked “HOT” on the top of the water heater.
- Install the T&P Valve in the opening provided near the top of the heater.
- Install drain valve in the opening provided near the bottom of the heater.
B. Thermal Expansion
- A check valve may be installed in the cold water inlet line as a separate backflow preventer, or may be part of a pressure reducing valve, water meter, or water softener. An “open water system” refers to a system without a check valve. A “closed water system” refers to a system with a check valve installed in the cold water inlet line.
- As water is heated, it expands in volume and increases pressure within the water system. This action is referred to as “thermal expansion”. In an open water system, expanding water which exceeds the capacity of the system flows back into the city main where pressure is easily dissipated.
- A closed water system prevents expanding water from flowing back to the city main. The resulting thermal expansion can rapidly increase pressure in the water heater and system piping. This rapid pressure increase can exceed the setting of the pressure relief valve, causing it to operate during each heating cycle, resulting in discharge from the T&P. This rapid and repeated expansion and contraction of components in the system can cause premature failure of system components, including the relief valve and possibly the water heater.
- Replacing the relief valve will not correct thermal expansion. A potable hot water expansion tank is required to offset thermal expansion. Expansion tanks are designed with an air cushion built in that compresses as system pressure increases, thereby relieving the overpressure condition and eliminating repeated operation of the relief valve. This expansion tank should be installed in the cold water line between the water heater and check valve, and must be sized for the entire water volume of the hot water system. See piping Applications.
- Other methods of controlling thermal expansion are available. Check with the local water utility to determine if a check valve exists in the cold water inlet line. Contact your installing contractor, water supplier, or plumbing inspector for additional information regarding thermal expansion.
C. Condensation
Condensation can form on the water heater when it is first filled with water,
and may also occur with a heavy water draw and very cold inlet water
temperature. This condition is not unusual and will disappear as the water
becomes heated. However, if the condensation should continue, examine the
piping and fittings for possible leaks.
D. Insulation Blankets
WARNING
If local codes require external application of insulation blanket kits, the
manufacturer’s instructions included with the kit must be carefully followed.
In addition, pay careful attention to the following so as not to restrict the
proper function and operation of the water heater:
- Do not cover the operating or warning labels attached to the water heater or attempt to locate them on the exterior of the insulation blanket.
- Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater. This could interfere with the safe operation of the electrical junction box.
- Do not cover the jacket access panel(s) to the thermostat(s) and heating element(s) or T&P valve.
- Inspect the insulation blanket frequently.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
E. Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures in this water heater, install temperature and pressure protective equipment as required by local codes, but not less than a combination T&P valve meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22B / CSA 4.4-M99 by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production listed equipment and materials. This valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked maximum working pressure of the water heater. Install the T&P valve into the opening provided and marked for this purpose on the water heater. The T&P valve must be plumbed down so discharge can exit at least 6” above the structural floor. The relief line cannot be in contact with any live electrical parts.
WARNING
To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:
- Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief valve discharge.
- Discharge line must be as short as possible and the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.
- Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6” above the floor drain, making discharge clearly visible.
- The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375oF or greater.
- Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing could occur.
- No valve may be installed between the relief valve and heater or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any obstruction in the discharge line.
- Test the operation of the relief valve after filling and pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, immediately replace with a new properly rated relief valve.
- Test T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the heater “off” and call a plumber immediately.
- Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid scalding injury or property damage.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION, RESULTING IN POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
RE-INSPECTION OF T &P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, and replaced if necessary, by a licensed plumbing contractor or qualified service technician to ensure that the product has not been affected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occuring conditions may corrode the valve and its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected. Do not attempt to conduct an inspection on your own. Contact your plumbing contractor for a re-inspection to assure continued safety.
FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T&P VALVE AS DIRECTED COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/OR PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or block relief valve outlet line under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death may result.
F. Scalding
WARNING
An ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 temperature limiting or mixing valve is recommended
in installations servicing disabled or elderly persons, or children. Mixing
valves can reduce but do not eliminate the risk of scalding.
To avoid scalding:
- Set the water heater set point temperature as low as possible.
- Feel water before bathing or showering.
- If thermostatic valves are required, use devices specifically designed for such purpose. Install these devices in accordance with instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Failure to install a temperature limiting or mixing valve and follow these instructions could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death due to scalds.
This water heater can deliver scalding water. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require increased water temperatures. By setting the thermostat on this heater to obtain the increased water temperature required by these appliances you may create the potential for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the water system. This
valve will reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold and hot
water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from your local
plumbing supplier.
Table 1 details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to
scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water
temperature for your applications.
G. Filling the Heater
- Make certain that the drain valve is completely closed.
- Open the shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.
- Open the hot water faucets to allow air to vent from the heater and piping.
- Allow sufficient time for the heater to completely fill with water.
- Verify elements are installed correctly. Check for leaks.
CAUTION
When filling the water heater, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping. The tank must be full of water before the heater is turned on. Failure to ensure the water heater is full before turning it on could result in damage to the water heater and other property damages. Such damages ARE NOT covered by water heater warranty.
H. Applications
The following notes are applicable to all of the piping applications demonstrated on this page.
- Minimum pipe size should match connection size. Upsize pipe accordingly if greater flow is required.
- A thermal expansion tank suitable for potable water must be sized and installed within this piping system between the backflow preventer and the cold water inlet.
- All circulators should have an integral flow check.
- Drains and check valve between unit and storage tank will assist in purging air from system.
- These drawings are meant to demonstrate system piping only. The installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by local codes. In Massachusetts, you must install a vacuum relief valve per 248 CMR.
- Mixing valve application is optional, but recommended to help prevent scalding. See Part 3 for more information.
Part 4 – Wiring
CAUTION
Tank must be full of water before the power is turned on. Heating elements
will be damaged if energized for even a short time while tank is dry. Failures
due to “dry-firing” ARE NOT covered by warranty.
-
This unit is factory wired to a junction box on top of the water heater for field wiring connection. These heaters are equipped and wired for the maximum possible input allowable (see Table 3 for listing of inputs and amperage requirements). The voltage requirement and dedicated wattage load for the heater is specified on the rating label of the water heater. Consult your local power company to determine if your electrical service is adequate for the additional load of the heater.
Refer to the wiring diagrams for field connections. All wiring must conform to local code and the National Electric Code, and should be done by a qualified licensed electrician or the local electric utility. Grounding can be accomplished -
by using approved conduit and fittings or other approved conductive material. A grounding wire is provided on the junction bracket. This grounding wire must be used in the installation.
WARNING
Be sure to ground the water heater. The preferred way to ground is with rigid
metal conduit between the main panel and the water heater junction box with
approved end fittings (check codes on the use of flexible conduit). If making
a separate ground, a green ground wire is provided in the water heater
junction box. Replace the junction box cover and insulation after you have
made the wiring connections. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

Part 6 – Operation
CAUTION
Tank must be full of water before the power is turned on. Heating elements
will be damaged if energized for even a short time while tank is dry. Failures
due to “dry-firing” ARE NOT covered by warranty.
After water and electrical connections have been made and tank is filled with water, turn on power to the heater. The heater is now in operation.
A. Combination Thermostat and High Limit Control (ECO)
Each water heater is equipped with a combination Thermostat – High Limit
Control (ECO). Thermostats are located above the heating elements. If for any
reason the water temperature becomes excessively high, the ECO breaks the
circuit to the heating element. Once the switch opens it must be reset
manually. However, THE CAUSE OF THE OVER TEMPERATURE CONDITION MUST BE
CORRECTED FIRST.
WARNING
The cause of the high temperature condition must be investigated by a
qualified service technician and corrective action must be taken BEFORE
placing the water heater back in service. Failure to do so could result in
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
B. Thermostat Adjustment and ECO Reset
There are two thermostats on dual element heaters. If temperature adjustment

C. Heating Element Replacement Procedure
WARNING
If heating elements need replacement, it is very important to use the same
voltage, wattage, and construction. The element sheath must be incoloy and the
hex plug must be made of stainless steel.
-
STEP #1 – Turn off power to the water heater. Use a phillips head screwdriver to remove wires connecting the element to the thermostat.
DANGER
Failure to disconnect the power from the water heater before attempting heating element replacement will result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death due to electric shock. -
STEP #2 – Run hot water at a faucet in the system. When it runs cold, shut off the faucet. Then shut off water at the main cold water inlet or, if possible, valve off the water heater from the system. Drain the water from the system, or just the water heater if it can be isolated from the system.
WARNING
Completely drain the water heater before removing and replacing a heating element or elements. Failure to do so will result in a leakage of water and property damage, and could possibly result in moderate to severe personal injury or death.
Water drained from the water heater may be scalding hot. Take care to avoid scalding. Wear gloves and safety glasses, and direct water to a safe drainage location. Failure to comply with this warning could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
CAUTION
DO NOT replace heating element with a generic heating element. Only Westinghouse heating elements are approved for use with this water heater. Failure to follow this warning will result in premature product failure and VOID the warranty. -
Step #3 – Remove the element with a 1 1/2” socket wrench or element tool.
-
Step #4 – Ensure thread and opening are completely free of debris. Use a nylon brush to clear away any debris.
-
Step #5 – Put a small amount of NSF approved lubricant and sealant on the O-Ring.
-
Step #6 – Screw the element clockwise into the tank, and tighten with the 1 1/2” socket wrench or element tool. Be sure O-ring seats properly.
NOTE: Repeat Steps 3 – 6 as Necessary for Multiple Elements Step #7 –
Open the main cold water inlet. If the water heater has been isolated from the
system, open the valves. Refill the tank with cold water. Open a hot water
faucet high in the system to bleed any air pressure from the system. Water
will flow freely when air is completely bled.
WARNING
When filling the water heater, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank
and piping. The tank must be full of water before the heater is turned on.
Failure to ensure the water heater is full before turning it on will result in
damage to the water heater, and could result in property damage, serious
personal injury, or death. Such damages ARE NOT covered by water heater
warranty.
- Step #8 – Pressure check the tank for leaks around element. If no leaks are found, connect wires from the element to the thermostat.
- Step #9 – Turn power back on to the water heater.
CAUTION
Failure to refill the tank before restoring power to the water heater will result in damage to the heating elements and property damage. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Part 7 – Maintenance
Considerations
- To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.
- To avoid severe burns, allow heater to cool before performing maintenance.
NOTE: In addition to the routine maintenance detailed in this manual,
this water heater should be inspected annually by a qualified service
technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and
efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified
heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the heater. Installer must also
inform the owner that lack of proper care and maintenance may result in a
hazardous condition, premature heater failure, and void the warranty.
Routine preventative maintenance ensure the water heater operates safely and
efficiently over its service life. The Owner / User may perform the
maintenance activities described below. Monthly (Every two weeks in hard water
locations)
It is recommended that a few quarts of water be drained from the heater. This
will flush sediment deposits from the bottom of the heater and lengthen the
heater’s service life. Turn off power to the heater during flushing operation,
so the elements will not be damaged.
CAUTION
Failure to shut off the heater when draining may damage the heating elements.
Operating a partially filled / empty water heater could lead to damage from
“dry-firing”. Failures due to such damage ARE NOT covered by warranty.
WARNING
Water drained from the water heater may be scalding hot. Take care to avoid
scalding. Wear gloves and safety glasses, and direct water to a safe drainage
location. It is recommended to turn power off to the water heater and run
water at a hot water faucet until it cools BEFORE draining water from the
heater. Failure to comply with this warning could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
- To flush the tank, attach a hose to the field installed drain valve. Close the cold water supply line shut-off valve. Open the drain valve and hot water faucet(s) to vent heater while draining. Direct the flow of water to a drain or bucket where it will not cause damage.
- Flush until water runs clear to complete this operation. Close drain valve and reopen the supply line shut-off valve. Close the hot water faucet(s) once all air has been bled from the system (when water runs freely). Make certain that the heater is completely full of water before restoring power. Periodically (At least twice a year)
- Check around the water heater and related plumbing for leaks. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve discharges periodically, or water is leaking from around the heating elements, there may be a problem with your water system. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR LEAKS YOURSELF! Contact a qualified service contractor for assistance.
- Check the area around the water heater for flammable liquids or combustible materials. If any are found, remove from the area.
Vacation (Extended shut-off periods)
During extended mild or warm weather periods when hot water will not be in
use, shut off the electric power to the tank. When hot water is needed again,
restore power to the water heater.
During extended cold weather periods when hot water will not be in use and
prone to freezing conditions, shut off electric power to the tank, close the
supply line shut-off valve, open the drain valve and drain the water heater to
a safe drainage location (as detailed previously). Once drained, close the
drain valve. When hot water is needed again, restore the water supply to the
tank. Once the tank is full, restore power.
WARNING
Water drained from the water heater may be scalding hot. Take care to avoid
scalding. Wear gloves and safety glasses, and direct water to a safe drainage
location. It is recommended to turn power off to the water heater and run
water at a hot water faucet until it cools BEFORE draining water from the
heater. Failure to comply with this warning could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
The maintenance activities described below are only to be performed by the Installer / Qualified Service Provider. These maintenance items should be performed during recommended annual service and any service calls.
- Ask the owner / user if there have been any issues with the water heater. Diagnose any heater issues and repair / replace parts as necessary.
- Check the water heater and related plumbing for leaks. Repair any that are found.
- Check the area around the water heater for flammable liquids or combustible materials. If any are found, remove from the area.
- Check the heating elements while the heater is in operation. If the elements are hissing / singing excessively, they may need to be cleaned. Inspect the elements and clean if necessary.
- Inspect the Temperature and Pressure (T&P) Relief Valve. See instructions below.
- Turn power supply off to the water heater. Open the drain valve and drain a few gallons of water from the tank to clear any hard water deposits. Once complete, close the drain valve and restore power to the water heater.
WARNING
T&P Relief Valve Maintenance Instructions:
- Annually: Certain naturally occuring mineral deposits may adhere to the valve, blocking waterways and rendering the valve inoperative. The T&P Relief Valve lever must be operated to ensure the waterways are clear. If waterways are clear, hot water will discharge from the valve. Take precautions to avoid personal injury and property damage from contact with hot water. Before operating lever, check to see that a discharge line is connected to the valve, directing the flow of hot water from the valve to a proper place of disposal.
- Replacement of the valve is required if no water flows when the lever is operated. Turn the water heater off until the valve is replaced.
- If water flows from the valve, drain a few gallons from the tank to ensure the water flows freely.
- At least once every three years: To ensure that the T&P valve has not been affected by corrosive water conditions and that the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered with illegally, relief valves should be inspected, and replaced, if necessary, by a licensed plumbing contractor or qualified service technician.
Failure to comply with these guidelines could result in failure of relief valve operation, and possibly result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
