fly injury or death . Should you have any problems understanding the instructions in this manual, STOP, and get help from a qualified Installer (
or service technician or the gas supplier.
IA WARNING
A General Safety Precau tons
Gasoline, as well as other flammable materials and liquids
(adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they produce,
are extremely dangerous. DO NOT handle, use or store
gasoline or other flammable or combustible materials
anywhere near or in the vicinity of a water heater. Be sure
to read and follow the warning label pictured below and
other labels on the water heater, as well as the warnings
printed in this manual. Failure to do so can result In
property damage, bodily Injury, or death.
A DANGER
Failure to Install the draft hood and properly vent the water
heater to the outdoors as outlined In the Venting Section
of this manual can result in unsafe operation of the water
heater. To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation
from carbon monoxide, never operate this water heater
unless it is properly vented and has an adequate air
supply for proper operation. Be sure to inspect the vent
system for proper installation at initial start-up; and at
least annually thereafter. Refer to Maintenance section of
this manual for more information regarding vent system
inspections.
A DANGER
A Vapors from flammable
liquids will explode and
catch fire causing death or
severe bums
Do not use or store flammable
products

A DANGER
LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS — Propane, or LP gas,
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.
• Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before
attempting to light appliance. 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 an LP leak, be sure to sniff
near the floor too.
• Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications
and their installation should be in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations and/or local laws,
rules, regulations or customs.
• It is recommended that more than one method be used
to detect leaks in LP applications.
IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:
• DO NOTattempt to find the cause yourself;
• DO NOT try to light any appliance;
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch;
• DO NOT use any phone in your building.
• Leave the building immediately and make sure that
everyone else leaves also.
• Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the
gas supplier, a qualified service agency or the fire
department.
• Keep the area clear until the service call has been
made, the leak is corrected, and a qualified agency has
determined the area to be safe.
A WARNING
Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to help
detection. Some people may not physically be able to
smell or recognize this odorant. If unsure or unfamiliar
about the smell associated with LP or natural gas, ask the
gas supplier. Other conditions, such as "Odorant Fade ",
which causes the odorant to "fade ", or diminish in
intensity can also hide or camouflage a gas leak.
A DANGER
Water heaters utilizing Liquefied Petroleum gas (LP) are
different from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will
not function safely on LP gas and vice versa. No attempt
should ever be made to convert a heater from natural gas
to LP gas. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal
injury or fire: DO NOT connect this water heater to a fuel
type not in accordance with unit data plate. Propane for
propane units. Natural gas for natural gas units. These
units are not certified for any other type fuel.
A WARNING
LP appliances should not be installed below -grade (for
example, in a basement) if such installation is prohibited by
federal, state andlor local laws, rules, regulations or
customs.

To meet commercial water use needs, the thermostat
on this water heater is adjustable up to 180 °F. Howev-
er, water temperatures over 125 °F. can cause severe
burns instantly or death from scalds. This Is the pre-
ferred starting point for setting the control for supply-
ing general purpose hot water.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con-
sidered when setting the water temperature on the ther-
mostat. The most energy efficient operation will result
when the temperature setting is the lowest that satisfies
the needs consistent with the application.
A DANGER
es_

Water temperature over 125 °F can
cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalds.
Children, disabled and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before
setting temperature at water
heater.
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available, see manual.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner
has shut off. To find hot water temperature being de-
livered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a ther-
mometer In the hot water stream and read the ther-
mometer.

The following chart 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.
TIME / TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS
The temperature of the water in the heater can be reg-
ulated by setting the temperature dial on front of the
thermostat. To comply with safety regulations the ther-
mostat was set at its lowest setting before water heater
was shipped from the factory. The illustration below
illustrates the thermostat and how to adjust the water
temperature.

NOTE: When this water heater is supplying general
purpose hot water requirements for use by individu-
als, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve for re-
ducing point of use water temperature is recommended
to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed
plumber or the local plumbing authority for further in-
formation.
1A WARNING
Read and Review this entire Manual with special emphasis on
the Venting Section (Page 8) and Operation Section (Pages 8 -
10) prior to any installation work.
The location chosen for the water heater must take into considera-
tion the following:
LOCAL INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
This water heater must be installed in accordance with these in-
structions, local codes, utility company requirements, and/or in the
absence of local codes, the latest edition of the American National
Standard / National Fuel Gas Code. A copy can be purchased from
either American Gas Association, 1515 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, VA
22209 as booklet Z223.1 or National Fire Prevention Association,
Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269 as booklet NFPA No.54.
LOCATION:
A. A gas fired water heater should not be installed in a space where
liquids which give off flammable vapors are to be used or stored.
Such liquids include gasoline, LP gas (butane and propane), paint
or adhesives and their thinners, solvents or removers. 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 pilot light or main burner can ignite these vapors caus-
ing an explosion or fire which may result in severe burns or death
to those in range, as well as property damage. For these rea-
sons, installation of a gas fired water heater in a garage is not
desirable.
1A WARNING I
if a location in a garage is the only alternative, the gas water heater
should be installed so that the open flame of the pilot and main
burner are no less than 18 inches above the garage floor, unless
specifically exempted from this by local code, rule, regulation or
custom. Raising the gas fired water heater will reduce but not elim-
inate the possibility of lighting the vapor of any flammable liquids
which may be Improperly stored or accidentally spilled.
The water heater must be located or protected so it is not
subject to physical damage, for example, by moving vehi-
cles, area flooding etc.
Stand Kits to raise the water healer the required 18 above the
floor are available from the distributor or store where the
water heater was purchased. Request 'Stand Kit, Part Num-
ber AS-29061A'.
B. The water heater should be installed as close as practical to the
gas vent or chimney. Long hot water lines should be insulated to
conserve water and energy. The water heater and water lines
should be protected from exposure to freezing temperatures. DO
NOT install the water heater in bathrooms, bedrooms, any oc-
cupied rooms normally kept closed, or in outdoor unprotected
areas.
Introduction
C. Minimum clearance from combustible construction is 1 inch sides
and rear; 3 Inches from front of control; 12 inches top. If clear-
ances stated on the Instruction/Warning label, located on front
of heater differ from the aforementioned clearances, Install heater k
according to clearances stated on the Instruction/Warning label.
The water heater may be installed on combustible floors, but not
directly on carpeting. If the water heater must be installed on car-
peting, place a metal or wood panel beneath the water healer ex-
tending beyond its full width and depth at least 3 inches in all di-
rections. If the water heater is installed in an alcove or closet,
the entire floor must be covered by the panel. A minimum 01 24
inches clearance from the front and top should be available for ad-
equate inspection and servicing.
A WARNING I
4
"Combustible construction" refers to adjacent walls and ceilings, and
should not be confused with combustible or flammable products and
materials. Combustible and/or flammable products and materials
should never be stored in the vicinity of this or any gas appliance.
1A CAUTION
The water heater should not be located in an area where leak-
age of the tank 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, be Installed under the water heater. The
pan MUST NOT restrict combustion air flow to bottom of water
heater.

NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan installation MUST conform to local
codes.
Catch Pan Kits are available in 16, 19% 22, 24, and 26 W di-
ameters from the distributor or store where the water heater was
purchased.
0. COMBUSTION & VENTILATION AIR — Proper operation of the
water heater requires air for combustion and ventilation. If the
water heater is installed in an unconfined space within a build-
ing of conventional frame, masonry or metal construction, infil-
tration air is normally adequate for proper combustion and ven-
tilation.
However, if the space is confined, provisions for this air must be
made. A confined space Is one having a volume of less than 50
cubic feet per 1000 BTUH of the aggregate Input of all appli.
antes within that space.The air must be supplied through two
permanent openings of equal area, one of which is to be located
within 12 inches above the floor and the other is to be located
within 12 inches below the ceiling. The minimum net free area of
each opening must be not less than one square inch per 1000
BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances in the enclo-
sure (but not less than 100 square inches), if each opening com-
municates with other unconfined areas inside the building. Build-
ings 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 4000 BTUH of the total input rating of all the appliances
in the enclosure.
If horizontal ducts are used to communicate with the outdoors,
however, each opening must have a minimum net free area of
not less than one square inch per 2000 BTUH of the total input
rating of all the appliances in the enclosure. If ducts are used,
the minimum dimension of rectangular air ducts shall be not less
than 3 Inches.
Installation
1. INSPECT SHIPMENT Inspect water heater for possible ship-
ping damage. Check the marking of the rating plate of the water
heater to be certain the type of gas being furnished corresponds
to that for which the water heater is equipped.
2. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS— Refer to Fig. 2 for suggested
typical installation. The installation of unions or flexible copper
connectors is recommended on the HOT and COLD water lines,
so that the water heater may be easily disconnected for servic-
ing if necessary. The HOT and COLD water connections are clear-
ly marked.
Install a shut -off valve in the cold water line near water heater.
Determine if there is a check valve in the cold water supply line.
It may have been installed as a separate component or it may be
part of a pressure reducing valve, water meter or water softener.
A check valve located in the cold water inlet line can cause a
'closed" water system. A closed system prevents the water, as it
is being heated, from expanding back into the cold water supply
line. Pressure can build up within the heater causing the relief
valve to operate during a heating cycle. This excessive opera-
tion can cause premature failure of the relief valve and possibly
the heater itself.
Replacing the relief valve will not correct the problem. One
method of preventing pressure build -up is to install an expansion
tank in the cold water supply line between the heater and the
check valve. Contact your installing contractor, water supplier
or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.
IMPORTANT!! Do not apply heat to the hot or cold heat trap
nipples. If sweat connections are used, sweat tubing to
Introduction

NOTE: If the openings are to be covered with a protective screen
or grill, the net free area of the covering material must be used
in determining the size of the openings, as stated above. Pro-
tective screening for the openings MUST NOT be smaller than 114
inch mesh to resist clogging by lint or other debris.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must comply with
referenced codes and standards. See Local Installation Regu-
lations Section on Page 4.
E. CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES —The water heater should not be
installed near an air supply containing halogenated hydrocar-
bons. For example, the air in beauty shops, drycleaning estab-
lishments, photo processing labs, and storage areas for liquid
and powdered bleaches or swimpool chemicals often contain
such hydrocarbons. The air there maybe safe to breathe, but
when it passes through a gas flame, corrosive elements are re-
leased that will shorten the life of any gas burning appliance. Pro-
pellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from refrigeration
equipment are highly corrosive after passing through a flame.
The limited warranty is voided when failure of water heater is due
to a corrosive atmosphere. (Reference is made to the limited war-
ranty for complete terms and conditions.)

inlet of heater. Any heat applied to the Inlet or outlet will per-
manently damage the heat trap fittings supplied with the
water heater or the dip tube.
3. RELIEF VALVE —A new combination pressure and temperature
relief valve, complying with the Standard for Relief Valves and Au-
tomatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI
Z21.22, must be installed in the opening provided on the water
heater, at the time of installation. (Refer to Fig. 2.) No valve of any
type should be installed between the relief valve and the tank. Local
codes shall govern the installation of relief valves.
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.
Connect the outlet of the relief valve to a suitable open drain.
Piping used should be of a type approved for hot water distribu-
tion. The discharge line must be no smaller than the outlet of the
valve and must pitch downward from the valve 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, re-
striction or reducer coupling should be installed in the discharge
line.
4. TO FILL WATER HEATER —Make certain drain valve is closed.
Open shut -off valve in cold water supply line. Open each hot water
faucet slowly to allow air to vent from the water heater and pip -
ing. A steady flow of water from the hot water faucet(s) indicates
a full water heater
A WARNING
Tank MUST be full of water before water heater is turned on. The
water heater's warranty does not cover damage or failure re-
sulting from operation with an empty or partially empty tank
(dry fired).
5. GAS SUPPLY —The branch gas supply line to the water heater should be
clean y:" black steel pipe or other approved gas piping material. A ground
joint union or ANSI design certified semi -rigid or flexible gas appliance
connector should be installed in gas line dose to the water heater, and a
manual gas shutoff valve should be installed in the gas line prior to the
union. The manual gas shut-of valve should be at least 5 feet above the
floor and readily accessible for turning on or off. A sediment trap should be
installed at bottom of the gas line. (Refer to Fig. 2)
Compound used on threaded joints of the gas piping must be of the type
resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gas. Use compound sparingly
on male threads only. Do not use excessive force (over 31.5 FL Lbs.) in
tightening the pipe joint at the thermostat inlet, particularly if teflon pipe
compound is used, as the valve body may be damaged.
The inlet gas pressure to the water heater must not exceed 14" w.c. for
Natural or L.P. gas. For purposes of input adjustment, the minimum inlet
gas pressure (with main bumer on) is shown on the water heater rating
plate. If high or low gas pressures are present, contact your gas supplier for
correction.
Installation

IA 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.
6. LEAK TESTING —The water heater and its gas connections must
be leak tested at normal operating pressures before it is placed
In operation. Turn on the manual gas shut -off valve near the water
heater (Refer to Fig.2). Use a soapy water solution to test for
leaks at all connections and fittings. Bubbles indicate a gas leak
that must be corrected. The factory connections to the thermostat
should also be leak tested after the water heater is placed in op-
eration.
A WARNING
Never use open flame to test for gas leaks, as bodily injury, prop-
erty damage or death could result.
PRESSURE TESTING THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM —The water
heater and its manual gas shut-off valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any high pressure test-
ing of that system at pressures In excess of h psi (14" W.C.).
The water heater must be isolated from the gas piping system by
closing the manual gas shut -off valve (Refer to Fig. 2), during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping at pressures equal
to or less than 4 psi (14" W.C.).
7. VENTING —This water heater must be installed with the factory
supplied draft hood in place. (Refer to Fig. 2.) Vent connectors
must be attached to the draft hood outlet to connect the water
heater to the gas vent or chimney. The vent connectors must be
the same size (diameter) as the draft hood outlet or larger, never
smaller. For proper venting in certain installations, a larger vent
connector size may be needed. Consult Vent Tables in Appendix
"G" of the latest version of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
booklet Z223.1 or NFPA booklet 54).
Horizontal vent connectors must be pitched upward to the chim-
ney at least /." per foot of length. Single wall vent connectors
must be at least 6" from adjacent unprotected combustible sur-
faces. Joint of vent connectors should be securely fastened by
sheet metal screws or other approved method.
A DANGER
Failure to install the draft hood and properly vent the water
heater to the outdoors as outlined above can result in unsafe
operation of the water heater causing bodily injury, explosion,
fire or death. To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxia-
tion from carbon monoxide, NEVER operate this water heater
unless it is properly vented and has an adequate air supply for
proper operation.
Be sure to inspect the vent system for proper installation at ini-
tial start -up and at least annually thereafter. Refer to Mainte-
nance section of this manual for more information regarding vent
system inspections.

1A CAUTION
Hydrogen as can be produced in a hot water system served
by this water heater that has not been used for a long period
of time (generally two weeks or more). HYDROGEN GAS IS
EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE!! To dissipate such gas and to
reduce risk of injury, 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. If hydrogen is present, there will probably
be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe
as the water begins to flow. Do not smoke or use an open
flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
2. WATER TEMPERATURE SETTING— The temperature of the
water in the heater can be regulated by setting the temperature dial
on front of the thermostat. (Refer to Fig. 3) To comply with safe-
ty regulations the thermostat was set at its lowest setting before
water heater was shipped from the factory. A setting of 120 °F.,
or lower if local codes require, is recommended as a starting point.

Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered
when selecting the water temperature setting of water heater's
thermostat. The lower the setting the greater the safety and sav-
ings in energy and operating cost.
TIME /TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS
A DANGER

There is a Hot Water SCALD Potential if the thermostat Is set too high.
NOTE: Households with small children or invalids may require
a 120'F. or lower thermostat setting to prevent contact with
"HOT" water.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner has shut
off. To find hot water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot
water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream
and read the thermometer.
Mixing valves for reducing point of g;;.g water temperature by mix-
ing hot and cold water in branch water lines are available. Qom,
tact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for fur-
ther information,
3. ADJUSTMENTS • The thermostatic gas valve is equipped for
total regulation of the main burner and pilot gas pressures and
does not require adjustment.
BURNER ADJUSTMENT — The cast iron burner supplied with
this healer may require a primary air adjustment at the time of
installation. An air shutter is located at the air opening end of the
burner. To adjust the burner, loosen air shutter screw and close
to soften flame and open shutter to sharpen the flame. The prop-
er flame should be soft blue, not yellow or with a hard blue cen-
ter (Refer to Fig, 4). Final air adjustment should be made after 5
minutes of continuous burning .
HIGH ALTITUDE— Ratings of gas appliances are based on sea
level operation and need not be changed for installations at ele-
vations up to 2,000 feet. For installations above 2,000 feet, the
input must be reduced per the National Fuel Gas Code for each
1,000 feet above sea level. Contact the local gas supplier for fur-
ther information.
4. SAFETY CONTROLS— The thermostat is constructed with a
built in safety shut -off device designed to shut oft the gas sup-
ply to the burner in the event the pilot flame is extinguished for any
reason. The thermostat is also equipped with single use gas shut-
off device that will shut off the gas supply to the burner, if the
water in the water heater exceeds normal operating tempera-
tures. Refer to the Troubleshooting Section of this manual, or
contact your dealer for service.
5. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN —
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fall to shut off, turn
IA WARNING 1
off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
If water heater has been subjected 10 fire, flood, or physical dam-
age turn off the manual gas control (shut-off) valve, and do not op-
erate the water heater again until it has been checked by quali-
fied personnel.
NOTE: Replace any part of the gas control system which has
been under water.
6. CONDENSATION— Condensation can Corm on the tank when it
is first filled with cold water. The condensation might also occur
Operation
10
A DANGER
with a heavy water draw and very cold inlet water. Drops of water
talling on the burner can produce a sizzling or pinging sound, and
water may also be seen beneath the water heater. This condi-
tion Is not unusual, and will disappear after the water in the water
heater becomes heated. It, however, the condition Is continuous,
examine the piping and fittings for possible leaks.
7. VACATION AND LONG TIME SHUT -DOWN— If the water heater
is to remain idle for an extended period of time, the gas should be
turned off to conserve energy. The water heater and piping should
be drained if they might be subjected to freezing temperatures.
NOTE: Refer to Hydrogen Gas Caution, in Safety Precautions
Section on page 9.
Alter a very long shut -down period, the water heater's operation
and controls should be checked by qualified service personnel,
Make certain the water heater is completely filled before placing
it in operation again.
8. DRAINING WATER HEATER—
! A CAUTION
Shut off gas at thermostat gas cock or supply line manual shut-
off valve before draining water from the water heater.
In order to drain water, turn off cold water supply, then it is nec-
essary to open a hot water faucet or lift the handle on the relief
valve to admit air to the tank. Attach a garden hose to the drain
valve on the water heater and direct the stream of water to a drain
where it will do no damage.
The water drained from the tank may be hot enough to present
a SCALD HAZARD and should be directed to a suitable drain to
prevent injury or damage.
9. ANODE— This water heater Is equipped with an anode rod de-
signed to prolong the Ilfe of the glass lined tank. Refer to Flg.2
for location. The anode rod is slowly consumed cathodically,
thereby eliminating or minimizing corrosion of the glass lined
tank. Water sometimes contains a high sulfate and /or mineral
content and together with the cathodic protection process can
produce a hydrogen sulfide or rotten egg odor in the heated water.
Chlorination of the water supply should minimize the problem.
NOTE: Do not remove the anode rod from the water heater's
tank, except for Inspection and /or replacement, as perma-
nent removal will shorten the life of the glass lined tank and
effect the water heater warranty.
)
1. ROUTINE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Properly maintained, your water heater will provide years of de-
pendable trouble free service. It is suggested that a regular routine
maintenance program be established and followed by the user. It Is
further recommended that a periodic inspection of the thermostat,
burner, relief valve, internal flueway and venting system should be
made by service personnel qualified In gas appliance repair.
A. The water heater's internal Clue must be inspected annually to
be certain it is clean by removing the draft hood and flue baffle.
When reinstalling the flue baffle make certain it is hung secure-
ly by its hanger at the top of the flue way. Remove any scale that
may have fallen on the burner or floor shield. Reinstall the draft
hood.
Inspect gas venting system to make certain vent connector from
draft hood to chimney is properly positioned and securely at-
tached and inspect chimney. Replace any corroded through vent
connector and remove any obstruction in vent connector or chim-
ney.
8. Visually Inspect the burner annually while firing and pilot burner
flame with main burner off. (Refer to Fig. 4 for normal flame pat-
tern.) If any unusual burner operation is noted, the water heater
should be shut off until qualified service assistance can be ob-
tained.
Figure 4. — Main Burner and Pilot Flame Pattern
(Cast Iron Burner)
For cleaning, remove the burner from the water heater. A vacu-
um cleaner can be used on the burner and floor shield inside the
water healer. The burner can also be cleaned by scrubbing with
mild detergent.
A CAUTION
For your safety, cleaning of main burner should be performed
ONLY by qualified service personnel, as It Involves disconnec-
tion of gas piping and leak testing.
Maintenance
11
C. The area near the water heater must be kept tree of flammable liq-
uids such as gasoline or paint thinners, adhesives and other com-
bustible materials.
D. For adequate combustion (proper burner operation) and venti-
lation, make certain the flow of air to the water heater is not ob-
structed.
E. At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the tem-
perature pressure relief valve, located near the top of the water
heater, to make certain the valve operates freely and allow sev-
eral gallons to flush through discharge line. Make certain the dis-
charged water is directed to an open drain.
A DANGER
Before manually operating the relief valve, make certain no one
will be exposed to the danger of coming in contact with the hot
water released by this valve. The water may be hot enough to
create a SCALD hazard. The water released should be directed
to a suitable drain to prevent Injury or damage.
NOTE: If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the
water heater discharges periodically, this may be due to ther-
mal expansion In a "Closed" water system. Contact the water
supplier or your plumbing contractor on how to correct this.
DO NOT plug the relief valve outlet.
F. A water heater's tank can act as a settling basin for solids suspended in
the water. It is, therefore, not uncommon for hard water deposits to
accumulate in the bottom of the tank. Deposits should not be albwed to
accumulate as this can affect the service life of the water heater. h is
suggested that a few quarts of wafer be drained from the water heater's
tank every month. If sufficient hard water deposits accumulate, a rumbling
or pounding sound can occur. There is no danger involved and the
efficiency of the water heater is not seriously affected, but the noise can
be annoying. Your plumbing contractor should be contacted to dean the
tank of these deposits,
G. Rapid closing of faucets or solenoid valves in automatic water
using appliances can cause a pounding "water hammer' sound.
"Water hammer" can be described as a banging noise heard in a
water pipe following an abrupt alteration of the flow with result-
ing pressure surges. Strategically located risers in the water pipe
system can be used to minimize the problem. Also water ham-
mer arresting devices are usually available from your plumber
or local plumbing supply store.
2. ANODE ROD INSPECTION —The anode rod should be removed
from the water heater's tank annually for inspection and replaced
when more than 6' of core wire is exposed at either end of the rod.
Refer to Fig. 2 for anode rod location. Make certain cold water
supply is turned off before removing anode rod.
