IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
DDAANNGGEERR!!
NATURAL GAS AND LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS
Both liquid propane gas (LPG) and natural gas (NG) have an odorant added to
aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people may not physically be able to smell
or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the smell of
LPG or NG, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions, such as “odorant fade”,
which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can also hide or camouflage
a gas leak. Always check with commercial leak detector or soapy water.
· Gas detectors are recommended in LPG and NG applications and their
installation should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s
recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.
· Water heaters utilizing LPG are different from NG models. A NG water heater
will not function safely on LPG and vice versa.
· No attempt should ever be made to convert the water heater from NG to LPG.
To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury or fire, do not connect
the water heater to a fuel type not in accordance with the water heater data
plate; liquid propane gas for LPG water heaters and natural gas for NG water
heaters. These water heaters are not certified for any other fuel type.
· LPG water heaters should not be installed below grade (for example, in a
basement) if such installation is prohibited by federal, state and/or local
laws, rules, regulations or customs.
· LPG must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air and will collect
first in lower areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
· Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look and smell for
gas leaks. Use a soapy solution to check all gas fittings and connections.
Bubbling at a connection indicates a leak that must be corrected. When
smelling to detect a gas leak, be sure to sniff near the floor also.
· It is recommended that more than one method, such as soapy solution, gas
detectors, etc., be used to detect leaks in gas applications.
NOTICE: If a gas leak is present or suspected:
· DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself. · DO NOT try to light any
appliances. · DO NOT touch any electrical switches. · DO NOT use any phones in
your building. · Leave the house immediately and make sure your family and
pets leave also. · Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the gas
supplier, a qualified service
agency or the fire department. · Stay away from the house (or building) until
the service call has been made, the leak is
corrected and qualified agency has determined the area to be safe.

Installing the SH12-A
LOCATION
· Installation distances may vary by local code. It is the installer’s
responsibility to verify installation requirements.
· Make sure before installation that the gas type you will use is the same
type on the data plate.
· The water heater should be installed by professionals. Improper installation
may cause failure or dangerous conditions such as gas leaking or explosion.
· Failure to have the water heater installed by a professional will void your
warranty.
· Water heater cannot be installed in an UN-VENTED bathroom, bedroom,
basement, living room, closet, outdoor, stairway or an exit area. If installed
in an exit area, it must be at least 16.5 ft. or more away from the exit.
· Vent pipe should extend from the wall at least 2″. The terminal must be at
least 1.64 ft away from obstruction and must be well vented.
· Ensure a backflow preventer has been installed to the vent piping.
· Install a condensation trap and drain (as required).
· Vent pipe should slope 3° downward, to avoid condensing water and protect
from rain entering.
· Vent pipe should avoid direct, strong wind because the downdraft will cause
malfunction.
· The water heater should be installed far from any blockage, and with plenty
of enough space for installation and maintenance. Adequate clearances for
servicing must be provided.
· The water heater should not be installed in the same room with a gas stove.
· When determining the floor clearance, a clearance of 12 inches must be
maintained between the vent pipe and combustible material. A side wall
clearance of 10 inches and a top clearance of 16 inches must be maintained.
· The vent pipe can be up to 32ft in length with one elbow.
· The vent pipe should be installed with a flame retardant wall thimble. Owner
must refer to vent manufacturer’s instructions and specifications. Eccotemp
information can be found at www. Eccotemp.com, please refer to page 24 for
additional links. Installation guidelines for venting provided by Eccotemp,
who is solely responsible for venting installation accuracy.
· The power socket connecting the water heater should be grounded properly
with a GFCI circuit protector.
· The water heater should not be located in an area where leakage of the heat
exchanger or connections will result in damage to the area adjacent to it or
to lower floors of the structure. When such areas cannot be avoided it is
recommended that a suitable catch pan, adequately drained, must be installed
under the water heater. The pan must not restrict combustion airflow.
· This water heater MUST NOT be installed in a laundry room or in the same
room as the washer dryer. Installation of the water heater in a laundry room
or in the vicinity of a washer/dryer will void the warranty.
· The water heater should be installed as close as practical to the vent
termination to minimize vent length and the number of elbows required for
venting.

ENGLISH
Installing the SH12-A
· Proper operation of the water heater requires air for combustion and
ventilation. Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must comply with
referenced codes and standards.
· A gas fired water heater, or any other appliances should not be installed in
a space where liquids which give off flammable vapors are to be used or
stored. Such liquids include gasoline, LPG (butane or propane), paint or
adhesives and their thinners, solvents or removers.
· The water heater should be installed far from heat sources, flammable and
dangerous materials. Because of natural air movement in a room or other
enclosed space, flammable vapors can be carried some distance from where their
liquids are being used or stored. The open flame of the water heater’s main
burner can ignite these vapors causing an explosion or fire which may result
in severe burns, death or property damage.
· Raising the water heater will reduce BUT NOT eliminate the possibility of
lighting the vapor of any flammable liquids which may be improperly stored or
accidentally spilled.
· If the water heater is installed in a garage, it should be installed so that
the direct ignition system and main burner are no less than 18″ above the
garage floor.
· Hot and cold water lines should be insulated to conserve water and energy.
· The water heater must be located so it is not subject to physical damage,
for example, by moving vehicles, area flooding, etc.
· The water heater should be installed with the proper venting materials and
termination suitable for Category III venting. Failure to install and properly
vent the water heater to the outdoors as outlined in the Venting Section of
this manual can result in unsafe operation. Owner must refer to vent
manufacturer’s instructions and specifications. Eccotemp information can be
found at www. eccotemp.com. Please refer to page 24 for additional links.
· For other than a direct vent appliance, the appliance must be located as
close as possible to a chimney or gas vent.

Installing the SH12-A
COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR
Proper operation of the water heater requires air for combustion and ventilation. Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must comply with referenced codes and standards.
Air Openings Min. 200 Sq. In.
A confined space is one having a volume of less than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 BTUH of the aggregate input of all appliances within that space. The air must be supplied through two permanent openings of equal area. One is to be located within 12″ above the floor and the other is to be located within 12″ below the ceiling.
The minimum net free area of each opening must not be less than one
Min. 4″
square inch per 1,000 BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances
in the enclosure (but not less than 100 square inches), if each opening
communicates with other unconfined areas inside the building.
Buildings of unusually tight construction shall have the combustion and ventilation air supplied from outdoors, or a freely ventilated attic or crawl space. If air is supplied from outdoors, directly or through vertical ducts, there must be two openings located as specified above and each must have a minimum net free area of not less than one square inch per 4,000 BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances in the enclosure.
If horizontal ducts are used to communicate with the outdoors, each opening must have a minimum net free area of not less than one square inch per 2,000 BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances in the enclosure. If ducts are used, the minimum dimensions of rectangular air ducts shall not be less than 4″.
NOTICE: If the water heater is installed in an unconfined space within a building of conventional frame, masonry or metal construction, infiltration air is normally adequate for proper combustion and ventilation. If the water heater is installed in a confined space, provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be made.
NOTICE: If the duct openings which supply combustion and ventilation air are to be covered with a protective screen or grill, the net free area (openings in the material) of the covering material must be used in determining the size of the openings. Protective screening for the openings MUST NOT be smaller than 1/4″ to prevent clogging by lint or other debris.
CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES
The air in beauty shops, dry cleaning establishments, photo processing labs,
and storage areas for liquid and powdered bleaches or swimming pool chemicals
often contain such halogenated hydrocarbons.
An air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons may be safe to breathe, but
when it passes through a gas flame corrosive elements are released that will
shorten the life of any gas burning appliance.
Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from A/C and refrigeration
equipment are highly corrosive after passing through a flame.
The water heater warranty is voided when failure of the heater is due to
operation in a corrosive atmosphere.
NOTICE: The water heater should not be installed near an any air supply
containing halogenated hydrocarbons.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Inspect the water heater for possible damage. Check the markings on the rating
plate of the water heater to be certain the type of gas supplied corresponds
to the water heater requirements. Verify all included parts are present (see
below).

Installing the SH12-A
WATER SUPPLY CONECTIONS
Plumbing should be carried out by a qualified plumber in accordance with local codes. Use approved plumbing materials and tools only. Install a check valve between the water heater and the water shutoff valve. (See illustration below).
Flow Restrictor Water Inlet
Filter
To conserve energy and to prevent freezing, insulate both cold and hot water
supply lines. DO NOT cover the drain valves. Install a shutoff valve near the
inlet of the water heater for service and draining purposes. Before connecting
the water supply pipe to the water heater, open the
shutoff valve ·and clean out sand, debris,air, caulking material, etc. inside
the pipe. Connect to the water inlet, then check water flow. Close the shutoff
valve and clean the water filter.
Check Valve Nipple
If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backflow preventer in the cold water supply line, means shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.
CAUTION! This water heater must only be used with the following water supply
system conditions: · With clean, potable water free of corrosive chemicals,
sand, dirt, or other contaminates.
· With inlet water temperatures above 32°F, but not to exceed 120°F. · Free of
lime and scale deposits.
· DO NOT reverse the hot and cold water connections. The water heater will not
operate.
To ensure proper operation of the water heater, the following water pressure
guidelines should be followed: · Operation of the SH12-A gas tankless water
heater requires a minimum water flow rate of 0.7 GP to activate and 0.6 GPM to
maintain activation.
· Additional water pressure is required for long pipe runs and outlet
fitting(s) water pressure drops. · To maintain proper performance, ensure
sufficient water supply pressure. The Required Water Flow Rate
= Min. Operating Water Pressure (0.6 GPM) + Pipe Pressure Loss + Faucet and
Shower Pressure Loss + Safety Margin (more than 5 psi).
· To supply hot water to upper floors, additional water pressure (0.44 psi/ft)
must be ensured. The measurement should be calculated by the distance between
the water inlet of the water heater (ground level) to the hot water faucet
(upper floor level).
· Well water systems should be set at a range of 50-60 psi.
· When the water is supplied from a water supply tank, the height of the tank
and the diameter of the pipes and their relation to water pressure, should be
taken into consideration. Gravity water pressure is not recomended.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply heat to the HOT or COLD water connections. Any heat
applied to the water supply fittings will permanently damage the internal
components of the water heater.
NOTICE: If the water flow resistance of a shower head is too high, the burner
in the water heater will fail to ignite. Keep the shower head clean from
debris that could cause additional pressure drop.
Notice: If using mixing valves on the outlet, choose one which prevents cold
water pressure from overcoming hot water line pressure. DO NOT use pipes with
smaller diameters than the water supply connection of the water heater. Be
sure to connect the water inlet and the hot water outlet as shown on the water
heater. If reversed, the water heater will not function. Installation of
unions or flexible copper connections are recommended on the HOT and COLD
water lines, so that the water heater may disconnect easily for servicing if
necessary.

· Connections between the water heater and point(s) of use should be as short
and direct as possible.
· DO NOT use lead or non-approved plastic pipe.
· To conserve energy and minimize heat loss, insulation of hot water piping is recommended.
Drain Valve
GAS SUPPLY
NOTICE: The flow rate of hot water may vary when more than two faucets
(appliances, fixtures, etc.) are being used simultaneously.
NOTICE: The pipes MUST be completely drainable. If the hot water faucets are
located at a point higher than the water heater, place a drain valve at the
lowest point (see diagram to the left).
WARNING: Do not attempt to convert this water heater for use with a different type of gas other than the type shown on the rating plate. Such conversion could result in hazardous operating conditions. Please have a professional connect the gas pipe.
Gas Supply Line
Manual Gas Appliance Shut-Off (Supplied)
Union
Sediment Trap Cap
The supplied Manual Gas Appliance Shutoff Valve must be installed at the gas
connection of the water heater at the time of installation (see diagram to the
left).
The branch gas supply line to the water heater should be clean black steel
pipe or other approved gas piping material. The minimum BTU requirement for
flex and/or gas lines is 1″ of black steel, flex rated at 150K BTU.
A ground joint union or ANSI design certified semi-rigid or flexible gas
appliance connector should be installed in the gas line close to the water
heater.
The National Fuel Gas Code (NFGC) mandates a manual gas shut off valve: See
(NFGC) for complete instructions.
A sediment trap should be installed at the bottom of the gas line.
The inlet gas pressure to the water heater must not exceed 10.5 in. w.c. for
natural or 13.5 in. w.c. for LPG. For purposes of input adjustment, the
minimum inlet gas pressure (with main burner on) is shown on the water heater
rating plate. If high or low gas pressures are present, contact your gas
supplier for correction
The water heater and its indivdual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the
gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of ½ psi (3.5 kPa). The water heater must be isolated from
the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve
during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
DO NOT use excessive force (over 31.5 ft lbs.) in tightening the pipe, particularly if pipe compound is used, as the water heater may be damaged. Compound used on the threaded joints of the gas piping must be of the type resistant to the action of LPG. Use compound sparingly and use on male threads only.

RELIEF VALVE
A new pressure relief valve, complying with the standard for relief valves and
automatic gas shut off devices for hot water supply systems, ANSI Z21.22, must
be installed at the hot water outlet connection of the water heater at the
time of installation. Local codes shall govern the installation of relief
valves. For safe operation of the water heater, be sure that:
· The pressure rating of the relief valve must not exceed 150 psi, the maximum
working pressure of the water heater as marked on the rating plate.
· The BTUH rating of the relief valve must equal or exceed the BTUH input of
the water heater as marked on its rating plate.
· No valve of any type should be installed between the relief valve and the
water heater. · Discharge from the relief valve should be piped to a suitable
drain to eliminate potential water
damage. Piping used should be of a type approved for the distribution of hot
water. · Hot and cold water lines should be insulated up to the water heater.
· The discharge line must be NO SMALLER than the outlet of the valve and must
pitch downward to
allow complete drainage (by gravity) of the relief valve and discharge line. ·
The end of the discharge line should not be threaded or concealed and should
be protected from
freezing. No valve of any type, restriction or reducer coupling should be
installed in discharge line.
NOTICE: The diagram below illustrates a pressure only relief valve. If local codes require
a combination temperature and pressure relief valve be installed, an extension piece may be
needed.
NOTICE: Local codes govern the installation of relief valves. If
local codes require that a temperature and pressure relief valve
should be installed the manufacturer recommends a type 40XL
Watts T&P relief valve or an equivalent model be used.
Pressure Relief Valve (Supplied)
NOTICE: Manual operation of relief valves should be
performed at least once a year. Turn off the electrical power and gas shut off
valve. Lift and release lever on the relief valve and check the manual
operation of the relief valve. You should take Cold Water Supply precaution to
avoid contact with the hot water coming out of the Line Shut-Off Valve relief
valve and to prevent water damage.
Discharge Line (To Suitable Drain)
Hot Water Supply Outlet
NOTICE: If the relief valve on the system discharges periodically,
this may be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. Contact
the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this
situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
LEAK TESTING
WARNING:Never use an open flame to test for gas leaks, as property damage,
personal injury, or death could result.
The water heater and its gas connections must be leak tested at normal
operating pressures before it is placed in operation.
· Turn on the gas shut off valve(s) to the water heater.
· Use a commercial leak detector or soapy water solution to test for leaks at all connections and fittings. Bubbles indicate a gas leak that must be corrected. All connections should also be leak tested after the water heater is placed in operation.
PRESSURE TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM
WARNING: Install a gas pressure regulator, in the gas supply line, which does
not exceed the maximum supply pressure. DO NOT use an industrial type gas
regulator.
The water heater must be isolated from the gas piping system by closing the
manual gas shut off valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping
at pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (14’w.c.).

VENTING
The installation of venting must comply with national codes, local codes, and
the vent manufacturer’s instructions. Owner must refer to vent manufacturer’s
instructions and specifications. Eccotemp information can be found at
www.Eccotemp.com. The water heater must be vented to the outdoors as described
in these instructions. DO NOT connect this water heater to an existing vent or
chimney, it must be vented separately from all other appliances. Eccotemp also
recommends adding a backflow preventer to keep freezing outside air from
reaching the water heater. Consult with an installation professional for
proper installation. All vent components (adapters, pipe, elbows, terminals,
etc.) should be UL 1738 Certified Stainless Steel Venting aterial (e.g.
AL29-4C). The specified vent termination must be used. The termination should
be a 90° elbow type with screen. (Refer to page 24).Use a vent pipe with an
antidisconnection structure.
The use of a high temperature silicone (500′ F) may be required to seal vent connections. To prevent accidental gas exhaust leakage, apply a 1/4″ wide bead approximately 1/4″ from the end and another bead against the joint side of the stop bead. Follow vent manufacturer’s installation instructions. The water heater can be vented either horizontally or vertically. Vent pipe runs must be adequately supported along both horizontal and vertical runs. The maximum recommended unsupported span should be no more than five (5) feet. Support isolation hanging bands should be used. DO NOT use wire. (See diagram below).
NO!
YES!
DANGER: Failure to install the vent adapter and properly vent the water heater
to the outdoors as outlined in the Venting section of this manual will result
in unsafe operation of the water heater causing death, serious injury,
explosion, or fire. To avoid the risk of fire, explosion,or asphyxiation from
carbon monoxide, NEVER operate the water heater unless it is properly vented
and has adequate air supply for proper operation as outlined in the Venting
section of this manual.
WARNING: Use UL approved Category III Stainless Steel vent material only. No
other vent material is permitted. Owner must refer to vent manufacturer’s
instructions and specifications. Eccotemp information can be found at
www.Eccotemp.com.
WARNING: Refer to pages 13-15 for clearances to combustible material.
VENTING THROUGH CLOSED SPACES
If the vent piping passes through a closed space, wrap the vent pipe with inflammable insulation material that is at least 3/4″ thick. DO NOT let the insulation material make contact with flammable materials. A minimum clearance of 6″ between the vent pipe and ceiling should be maintained. Follow local codes.

sidewall, one 90°elbow is included in the installation, and the wall thimble
is installed.
DRAINING THE CONDENSATE
NOTICE: Make sure that the seam of the vent pipe in horizontal runs is toward the top of the installation (see illlustration to the left).
In certain conditions, installations in unconditioned space or having long horizontal or vertical runs may accumulate condensate.
Condensate is known to be acidic; refer to local, state (provincial) or
federal codes for propper handling methods.
In order to prevent condensate from draining back into the water heater, we
recommend a condensate trap and drain to be installed in a horizontal vent
section as close as practical to the water heater vent connection.
Not following proper condensate procedures will void warranty.
Eccotemp also recommends adding a backflow preventer to keep freezing outside
air from reaching the water heater. Consult with an installation professional
for proper installation.

be 6.5″ in diameter for a 3″ vent system. The opening should be round.
The opening must be able to accommodate the 3″ vent system and wall thimble (purchased separately). Consult manual or building codes for distance from flammable materials.
The wall thimble is designed to adapt to any wall thickness from 3.5″ to 6″ thick. If the wall is thicker than 6″ the wall thimble may be extended using a piece of 6″ diameter snaplock or welded seam galvanized pipe up to 6″ long.
Select the larger diameter half of the wall thimble for the outside of the
wall.
· Apply a continuous bead of high quality silicone or silicone/latex caulk on
the inside of the outer flange. This will be the only weather seal to keep
moisture outside the building. Ensure a sufficient seal is made.

· Position this portion of the wall thimble into the prepared hole from the outside. Secure the assembly into the prepared opening using fasteners as indicated by sheathing or structural members, sealing the screw heads with more caulking.
Inner Thimble Section
Outer Thimble Section
· Use 4 hollow wall anchors, at least 1/8″ in diameter and of appropriate
length for the thickness of the sheathing, if sheathing is particle
board or other composite material. Use 4 #10×1-1/4″ wood screws for plywood,
solid wood sheathing or members. Use suitable masonry anchors when passing
through solid masonry walls. Reinstall the decorative sheathing around the
wall thimble. This assembly may be
painted to match the exterior decor.

regardless of the timer that is set. For example, if a timer is set to allow
15 minutes of hot water, but a schedule is also set to only allow 10 minutes
of hot water on a specific day, your SMARTHOME tankless water heater will stop
heating water after 10 minutes on that specific day. The user can then turn
the SMARTHOME tankless water heater OFF and back ON again, but the water will
not warm because the scheduled time to allow hot water has passed. There is a
30 second delay when setting a timer/schedule.

Maintenance
HOUSEKEEPING
DANGER: Before manually operating the relief valve, make certain no one will
be exposed to the danger of the hot water released by the valve. The water may
be hot enough to create a scald hazard. The water should be released into a
suitable drain to prevent injury or property damage.
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for hot water scalds.
DANGER: Failure to perform the recommended routine preventative maintenance
can harm the proper operation of this water heater, which can cause carbon
monoxide dangers, excessive hot water temperatures and other potentially
hazardous conditions.
Properly maintained, your water heater will provide years of dependable
trouble-free service. It is recommended that a periodic inspection of the
burner, relief valve, water filter and venting system should be made by
service personnel qualified in gas appliance repair.
It is suggested that a routine preventive maintenance program be established
and followed by the user.
At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the pressure relief
valve, located in the hot outlet piping of the water heater, to make certain
the valve operates freely. Allow several gallons to flush through the
discharge line to an open drain.
Rapid closing of faucets or solenoid valves in automatic water using
appliances can cause a banging noise heard in a water pipe. Strategically
located risers in the water pipe system or water hammer arresting devices can
be used to minimize the problem.
Inspect the area around the water heater to ensure a safe operating
environment. Keep water heater area clear and free from combustible materials,
gasoline, and other flammable vapors and liquids. Ensure the water heater has
not been damaged. If damage or denting is present, contact a service personnel
to verify proper operation.
Check for any abnormal sounds during normal operation of the water heater.
All piping should be checked for gas and/or water leaks. Refer to page 18 of
this manual for instructions on leak testing.
The air intake and cold water supply filters should be cleaned monthly. Refer
to the “Housekeeping” section for further information.
DO NOT operate the water heater if you feel something is wrong with it.
DO NOT allow children to operate or otherwise handle the water heater.
NOTICE: If the pressure relief valve on the hot water heater discharges periodically, this may be due to a problem in the water system. Contact the water supplier or your plumbing contractor on how to correct this. DO NOT plug the relief valve outlet.

VACATION AND EXTENDED SHUT-DOWN
If the water heater is to remain idle for an extended period of time, the
power and water to the appliance should be turned off. If there is no power to
the water heater, freeze protection does NOT work. The water heater and piping
should be drained if they might be subjected to freezing temperatures. When
freezing temps persists consult with a license installation professional for
winterization of your product. During power outages built in freeze protection
will not be activated. Take proper steps to ensure your water heater doesn’t
freeze. After a long shut-down period, the water heater’s operation and
controls should be checked by a qualified service personnel.
ANTI-FREEZING
While the Anti-Freezers will help to protect from cold temperatures, they will
in no way guarantee protection from freeze damage. DO NOT rely on the Anti-
Freezers to fully protect the water heater from freezing, take all precautions
to prevent cold damage.
NOTICE! The anti-freezing device works for the water heater only, and not for the inlet and outlet water pipes.
*Freezing anywhere in the plumbing system can result in damage to the water heater, such as a rupture in your Heat Exchanger. All pipes must be adequately protected from freezing.
Water heaters with Anti-Freezers have an automatic heating device and will
help to avoid freeze damage, but the power must be kept on. Freezing will
occur with no power. In very cold areas and when the temperature is under
32°F, or in event of an ice storm, freezing will occur as the heating power
limit is exceeded. If these conditions take place, please follow the
procedures explained below. When the temperature falls below 32°F, water in
your plumbing system or water heater can turn to ice and then expand causing
damage to the water heater. This damage is not covered under your
manufacturer’s warranty. If these conditions are anticipated, please drain the
water heater as follows to help but not guarantee from freezing:
1. Shut off the main gas valve and power 2. Shut off the inlet water valve 3.
Open all faucets 4. Take off the drain valve, and allow water to drain for 3
minutes or until the water heater is empty. 5. Making sure all water is out,
replace the drain valve, and shut off the faucets.
NOTICE! When freezing temperatures persist consult with a licensed installation professional for winterization of your product.
NOTICE! Eccotemp also recommends adding a backflow preventer to keep freezing outside air from reaching the water heater. Consult with an installation professional for proper installation.
NOTICE! During power outages built in freeze protection will not be activated. Take proper steps to ensure your water heater doesn’t freeze.
