7 Installation of the water heater must be accomplished in such a mannerthat if the tank or any connections should leak, the flow will not causedamage to the structure. For this reason, it is not advisable to install thewater heater in an attic or upper floor. When such locations cannot beavoided, a...

8 The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated andincreases the pressure of the water system. If the relieving point ofthe water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, thevalve will relieve the excess pressure. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended f...

9 The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory thatmaintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment ofmaterials as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and AutomaticGas Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 •CSA 4.4, and the code requ...

13 TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT To change the temperature setting: NOTE: It is not necessary to adjust the upper thermostat. However, if itis adjusted above the factory set point (120°F (49°C)/HOT) it isrecommended that it not be set higher than the lower thermostat setting. 1. Turn “OFF” the heater elect...

14 THERMAL EXPANSION Water supply systems may, because of such events as high linepressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water hammer amongothers, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, checkvalves, back flow preventers, etc. to control these types of problems.When these devic...

15 If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset andcontinues to release water, immediately close the cold water inlet tothe water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace thetemperature-pressure relief valve with a new one. If the temperature-pressure relief valve...
