Part 2 – Prepare the Water Heater
Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the heater to be moved into
its installation location.
COLD WEATHER HANDLING – If the water heater has been stored in a very cold
location (BELOW 0oF) before installation, handle with care until the
components come to room temperature. Failure to do so could result in damage
to the water heater.
A. What’s in the Box Components included with the water heater:
· Drain Valve · Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve · Insulation · Hot Water
Outlet · Dip Tube · Tank Booster Assembly with Mixing Valve · Use and Care
Manual and Warranty NOTE: Some components may ship factory installed.
B. Locating the Water Heater
All water heaters eventually leak. Locate the water heater where any leakage
from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in
damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. Any water heater
should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak the resulting flow
of water will not cause damage to the area in which it is installed. National
Plumbing codes require a drain pan for any water heater installation. This
drain pan should be sized with a maximum depth of 2″, and a minimum diameter
2″ greater than the diameter of the water heater. The drain pan should empty
into an open drain line. This drain line should be 3/4″ ID minimum, piped to
an open drain. Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. Failure to install
a drain pan is the sole responsibility of the owner and/or installer.
Reference UPC 2000 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section 510 – Protection from
Damage or IPC 200 (International Plumbing code) Section 504 – Safety Devices.
Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. In addition, water leak detection
devices and automatic water shutoff valves are readily available at plumbing
supply houses. IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO INSTALL WATER
LEAK DETECTION DEVICES AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVES IN ANY WATER HEATER
INSTALLATION WHERE A LEAKAGE OF WATER COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGES.
The service life of the water heater’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the
junction box, is directly influenced by proximity to damp and salty marine
environments. In such areas higher concentration levels of chlorides from sea
spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to degradation of water heater
components.
Incorrect operating conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and
put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the installation location adheres to
the information included in this manual. Failure to do so could result in
property damage, serious personal injury, or death. Failure of the water
heater or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by
product warranty.
This water heater must be installed upright in the vertical position as
described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to install this water heater in any
other orientation. Doing so will result in improper water heater operation and
property damage, and could result in serious personal injury or death.
2. Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping and
electrical system as possible. Also, locate the water heater and domestic
water piping where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All piping
should be insulated. Additionally, place the water heater so that the drain,
controls, and inlets/outlets are easily accessible.
NOTE: To save on heating costs and improve energy efficiency keep the distance
between the water heater and fixtures to a minimum to reduce heat loss from
excess piping and keep friction loss at a minimum. Ensure all water heater
piping is properly insulated to minimize heat loss.
NOTE: If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in Figure 1, it might
not be possible to service the water heater without removing it from the
space.
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.
3. Check area around water heater. Remove any combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable liquids.

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.
4. 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
5. This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.
C. Water Chemistry Requirements
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe
damage to the appliance and associated equipment. Water quality must be
professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to treat the
water. Various solutions are available to adjust water quality. Adverse water
quality will affect the reliability of the system. In addition, operating
temperatures above 135oF will accelerate the build-up of lime scale and
possibly shorten appliance service life. Failure of an appliance due to lime
scale build-up, low pH, or other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the
warranty.
The water must be potable, free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, and other
contaminates. It is up to the installer to ensure the water does not contain
corrosive chemicals or elements that can damage the heat exchanger. Potable
water is defined as drinkable water supplied from utility or well water in
compliance with EPA secondary maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR Part 143.3).
If the water contains contaminants higher than outlined by the EPA, water
treatment is recommended and additional, more frequent maintenance may be
required.
If you suspect that your water is contaminated in any way, discontinue use of
the appliance and contact an authorized technician or licensed professional.
· Water pH between 6.5 and 8.5 · pH levels below 6.5 can cause an increase in
the rate of corrosion. pH of 8.5 or higher can potentially cause lime scale
build-up
· Maintain water pH between 6.5 and 8.5. Check with litmus paper or have it
chemically analyzed by a local water treatment company.
· If the pH is not between 6.5 and 8.5, consult a local water treatment
company for solutions.
· Hardness less than 12 grains (200 mg/L) · Hardness levels above the required
amounts can lead to lime scale build-up throughout the system. Water below 5
grains/ gallon (85 mg/L) may be over softened.
· Consult local water treatment companies for unusually hard water areas
(above the required amounts) or for other treatment solutions if water is
being over softened (below 5 grains/gallon [85 mg/L]).
· Chloride concentration less than 100 ppm (mg/L) · Do not fill appliance or
operate with water containing chlorides in excess of 100 ppm (mg/L).
· Using chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable as levels are typically
less than 5 ppm (mg/L).
· Do not connect the appliance to directly heat swimming pool or spa water.
· Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) less than 500 ppm (mg/L) · Total dissolved
solids are minerals, salts, metals, and charged particles that are dissolved
in water.
· The greater the amounts of TDS present, the higher the corrosion potential
due to increased conductivity in the water.
· If using softened water to fill the appliance, it is still possible to have
high TDS. This water can be corrosive. Consult local water treatment companies
for other treatment solutions to reduce this affect.
*NOTE:To promote appliance service life, it is strongly recommended to follow the maintenance procedures in this manual.
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.

D. Anode Rod
This water heater is equipped with an anode rod. Anode rods are sacrificial
components that counteract water chemistry to minimize or eliminate tank
corrosion. The anode rod should be inspected at least annually and replaced as
necessary to prolong tank life. Have the supply water quality professionally
analyzed, as local water conditions will influence the duration for inspection
and replacement of the anode rod. The use of a water softener may increase the
speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of the anode is needed
when using softened or treated water. Water with high sulfate and/or mineral
content can produce a rotten egg odor in heated water. Consult a water
treatment specialist for potential remedies. NOTE: Do not remove the anode rod
from an operating water heater. Operating the water heater without the anode
rod will shorten the life of the tank and VOID the warranty. NOTE: If anode
rods are rapidly consumed water chemistry should be tested by a qualified
technician. Corrective action should be taken to prevent the premature failure
of the water heating system. Operating the water heater with fully consumed
anode rods will shorten the life of the tank and VOID 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.
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.
1. 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 shutoff valve or
check valve. Refer to piping Applications, this manual.
Hydrogen gas is produced in a hot water system served by this heater that has not been used for a long period of time (two [2] weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. When hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
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.
2. Connect the hot water line to the connection marked “HOT” on the top of
the water heater. 3. Ensure the T&P Valve is installed in the opening provided
near the top of the heater. 4. Ensure the drain valve is installed 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.
lp-790 Revision Date 1.3.22
8
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
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, ensure temperature and
pressure protective equipment is installed 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.
The water heater ships with an installed T&P valve. DO NOT OPERATE THE WATER
HEATER WITH THE T&P VALVE BLOCKED OR REMOVED! 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.
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 THESE 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 BUILDUP 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.
lp-790 Revision Date 1.3.22

F. Scalding
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 to meet
installation requirements.
· Feel water before bathing or showering. · Use the mixing valve in accordance
with the instructions
provided by the manufacturer. Failure to 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, a mixing valve has been installed in the water heater. This valve will reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines.
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.
After installation, water heater outlet temperature MUST BE checked with a
thermometer at a hot water outlet fixture.
· Finish installing the water heater. Ensure it is properly piped, powered,
and full of water (purged of air).
· Power the water heater. Wait for the water heater to satisfy the thermostat
set point and has finished heating.
· Choose the hot water outlet fixture nearest to the water heater.
· Open the outlet. Check the outlet temperature with a thermometer. NOTE: DO
NOT check the outlet temperature with your hand.
· Make a note of the temperature measured by the thermometer when it stops
rising. NOTE: It may take some time for cooler water to clear the system.
· Follow the instructions in this manual if thermostat or mixing valve need
adjustment.
Failure follow these instructions could result in property damage, severe
personal injury, or death due to scalds.
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.
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.

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.
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.

After resetting the ECO, ensure the water heater is operating properly before leaving the installation. b. After adjusting the water temperature, allow the water heater enough time to heat the water to temperature. After the water heater has stopped heating, use a thermometer to measure the water temperature at a hot water outlet in the structure. STEP #9 – If the water heater is operating properly and the water temperature is satisfactory, adjustment is complete.
Risk of scald injury increases as you increase water temperature.
Failure to replace insulation or access cover could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
C. Adjusting the Tank Booster Prior to setting the valve, fill and purge the
water heater and system. Ensure the system water valves are open. Power the
water heater ON. Wait for the water heater to heat to the design temperature
(set at the water heater thermostat). Only then proceed to adjusting the tank
booster.
STEP #1 – Open a hot water faucet in the system. Use a thermometer to measure
the water temperature at the faucet. If the outlet water temperature needs to
be adjusted, use a 3/16″ Allen key to hold the mixing valve adjustment dial in
place. Then use a 7/16″ wrench to loosen the locking nut. NOTE: Water must be
flowing from a hot water faucet while adjusting the outlet temperature.
STEP #2 – Use the wrench to support the locking nut and prevent it from
rotating. Then turn the 3/16″ Allen key clockwise to reduce the temperature,
or counterclockwise to increase the temperature. Measure the outlet water
temperature at the hot water faucet. Adjust the valve as described until the
desired temperature is reached.
STEP #3 – After reaching the desired outlet temperature, use the 3/16″ Allen
key to hold the mixing valve adjustment dial in place. Then use a 7/16″ wrench
to tighten the locking nut. Make note of the set outlet temperature for future
reference.
Risk of scald injury increases as you increase water temperature. Households
with small children, disabled, or elderly persons may require a 120oF or lower
temperature setting to prevent severe personal injury or death due to
scalding.
D. Heating Element Replacement Procedure
If heating elements need replacement, it is very important to use the same
voltage, wattage, and construction. DO NOT replace heating element with a
generic heating element. Only HTP heating elements are approved for use with

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.
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. STEP #3 – Remove the
element with a 1 1/2″ socket wrench or element tool. STEP #4 – Inspect the
removed element. Determine whether the replacement element will need a square
or circular gasket and washer. STEP #5 – Ensure thread and opening are
completely free of debris. Use a nylon brush to clear away any debris.
Figure 7 – Heating Element Detail STEP #6 – Put a small amount of NSF approved
lubricant and sealant on the appropriate gasket and/or washer for the
installation. Put the gasket and/or washer on the element. STEP #7 – Screw the
element clockwise into the tank, and tighten with the 1 1/2″ socket wrench or
element tool. Be sure gasket seats properly.
NOTE: Repeat Steps 3 – 6 as Necessary for Multiple Elements Step #8 – 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.
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 #9 – Pressure check the tank for leaks around element. If no
leaks are found, use a Phillips Head screwdriver to connect the wires to the
element. STEP #10 – Turn power back on to the water heater.
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.

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. 1. Ask the
owner / user if there have been any issues with the water heater. Diagnose any
heater issues and repair / replace parts as necessary. 2. Check the water
heater and related plumbing for leaks. Repair any that are found. 3. Check the
area around the water heater for flammable liquids or combustible materials.
If any are found, remove from the area. 4. 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. 5.
Inspect the Temperature and Pressure (T&P) Relief Valve. See instructions
below. 6. Check the operation of the mixing valve by measuring the temperature
at a hot water faucet. Ensure the outlet temperature is within +5oF of the
desired outlet temperature. If the outlet temperature is out of range, adjust
the tank booster valve as described in this manual. Replace the tank booster
mixing valve if the desired outlet temperature cannot be reached. 7. 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. 8.
Inspect / replace the anode rod.
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, lower the setpoint temperature on the water heater. When hot water is needed again, raise the setpoint temperature on the water heater. Drain the water heating system (as detailed in this section) if the water heater will be shut off and exposed to freezing temperatures. Fill the water heating system (as detailed in this section) when
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.
