ily 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.
A WARNING
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 such as gasoline,
solvents or adhesives in the
same room or area near the
water heater.
Keep flammable products:
1. far away from heater,
2. in approved containers,
3. tightly closed and
4. out of children's reach.
Installation:
Do not install water heater
where flammable products will
be stored or used unless the
main bumer and pilot flames
Water heater has a main
burner and pilot flame.
The pilot flame:
1. is on all the time and
2. will Ignite flammable
vapors.
Vapors:
1. cannot be seen,
2. are heavier than air,
3. go a long way on the
floor and
4. can be carried from
other rooms to the pilot
flame by air currents.
are at least 18" above the
floor. This will reduce, but not
eliminate, the risk of vapors
being ignited by the main
burner or pilot flame.
Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. if owners
manual Is missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer.
2
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 NOT attempt 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 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.
• 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 and /or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.

Read and Review this entire Manual with special emphasis
on the Venting Section (Pages 6.7) and Operation Section
(Pages 8 -10) prior to any installation work
The location chosen for the water heater must take into
consideration the following:
LOCAL INSTALLATION REGULATIONS
This water heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions,
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 causing an explosion or fire which may result In severe bums or
death to those in range, as well as property damage. For these reasons
installation of a gas fired water heater in a garage is not desirable.

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 eliminate 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 vehicles, area flooding etc.
Stand Kits to raise the water heater the required 18" above the floor are
available from the distributor or store where the water heater was
purchased. Request "Stand Kit, Part Number AS29061".
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 occupied rooms normally kept closed, or in
outdoor unprotected areas.
C. Minimum clearance from combustible construction is 1 inch sides and
rear; 3 inches from front of control; 12 inches top. If clearances stated on
Instruction/Warning label, located on front of heater, differ from the
aforementioned clearances, install heater according to the 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 carpeting, place a metal or wood panel beneath
t;
Introduction
water heater, extending beyond its full width and depth at least 3 inches in
all directions. If the water heater is installed in an alcove or closet, the
entire floor must be covered by the panel. A minimum of 24 inches
clearance from the front and top should be available for adequate
inspection and servicing.
A WARNING
"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.
A CAUTION
The water heater should not be located in an area where
leakage 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.
A — Diameter of water
heater plus 2' min.
B — Maximum 2'.
To open drain, line
should be at least 3i
ID and pitched for
proper drainage.
Figure 3. — Aux' iary Catch Pan
NOTE: Auxiliary catch pan installation MUST conform to local codes.
Catch Pan Kits are available in 16 ", 19 ", 22 ", 24 ", and 26!" diameters
from the distributor or store where the water heater was purchased.
E. 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 building of conventional frame,
masonry or metal construction, infiltration air is normally adequate for
Installation
1. INSPECT SHIPMENT — Inspect water heater for possible shipping
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. THERMAL EXPANSION — Determine If a check valve exists In
the Inlet water line. It may have been installed in the cold water
line as a separate back flow preventer, or it may be part of a pres-
sure reducing valve, water meter or water softener. A check valve
located in the cold water inlet line can cause what is referred to
as a "closed water system ". A cold water inlet line with no check
valve or back flow prevention device is referred to as an "open"
water system.
As water is heated, it expands in volume and creates an increase
in the 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 water heater flows back
into the city main where the pressure is easily dissipated.

proper combustion and ventilation. 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 appliances 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 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 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.
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. Protective screening
for the openings MUST NOT be smaller than 1/4 inch
mesh to prevent clogging by lint or other debris.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must comply with referenced
codes and standards. See Local Installation Regulations Section.
F. CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERES —The water heater should not be
installed near an air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons. For
example,the air in beauty shops, drycleaning establishments, 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 released that will shorten the life of any gas burning
appliance. Propellants 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 warranty for
complete terms and conditions.)
A "closed water system ", however, prevents the expanding
water from flowing back into the main supply line, and the result
of "thermal expansion" can create a rapid, and dangerous pres-
sure increase in the water heater and system piping. This rapid
pressure increase can quickly reach the safety setting of the re-
lief valve, causing it to operate during each heating cycle. Ther-
mal expansion, and the resulting rapid, and repeated expansion
and contraction of components in the water heater and piping
system can cause premature failure of the relief valve, and pos-
sibly the heater itself .Replacing the relief valve will not correct
the problem)
The suggested method of controlling thermal expansion is to install
an expansion tank in the cold water line between the water heater and
the check valve. (Refer to Figure 4.) The expansion tank is de-
signed with an air cushion built in that compresses as the system
pressure increases, thereby relieving the over pressure condition and
eliminating the repeated operation of the relief vale. Other methods

3. WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS — Refer to Fig. 4 for sug-
gested typical installation. The installation of unions or flexible
copper connectors is recommended on the hot and cold water
connections so that the water heater may be easily disconnect-
ed for servicing if necessary. The HOT and COLD water con-
nections are clearly marked and are 3/4" NPT on all models. In-
stall a shut -off valve in the cold water line near the water heater.
IMPORTANT!! Do not apply heat to the hot or cold water con-
nections. If sweat connections are used, sweat tubing to
adapter before fitting adapter to hot or cold water connec-
tions on heater. Any heat applied to the hot or cold water
supply fittings will permanently damage them.
4. RELIEF VALVE — A new combination temperature and pressure
relief valve, complying with the Standard for Relief Valves and
Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems,
ANSI Z21.22, must be installed in the opening provided and
marked for the purpose on the water heater. (Refer to Fig. 4.) 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 not be
less than the input rating of the water heater as indicated on the
rating label located on front of the heater (1 watt = 3.412 BTUH).
Connect the outlet of the relief valve to a suitable open drain so
Installation

that the discharge water cannot contact live electrical parts and
to eliminate potential water damage. Piping used should be of a
type approved for hot water distribution. The discharge line must
be no smaller than the outlet of the valve and must pitch down-
ward 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, restriction or reducer cou-
pling should be installed in the discharge line.
5. TO FILL WATER HEATER — Make certain drain valve is com-
pletely 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 piping. 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 power is turned on. The
water heater's warranty does not cover damage or failure
resulting from operation with an empty or partially empty tank.
(Reference is made to the limited warranty for complete terms
and conditions.)
6. GAS SUPPLY - The branch gas supply line to the water heater should
be clean 1/2" black steel pipe or other approved gas piping ma-
terial. A ground joint union or ANSI design certified semirigid or
flexible gas appliance connector should be installed in gas line
closes to the water heater, and a manual gas shut -off valve should
be installed in the gas line prior to the union. The manual gas
shut -off valve should be at least 5 feet above the floor and read-
ily accessible for turning on or off. A sediment trap should be in-
stalled at the bottom of the gas line. (Ref. to Fig. 4)
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 exces-
sive force (over 31.5 Ft. 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 adjust-
ment, the minimum inlet gas pressure (with main burner on) is
shown on the water heater rating plate. If high or low gas pres-
sures are present, contact your gas supplier for correction.
A WARNING
Do not attempt to convert this water heater for use with a
different type of gas other than the type shown on the rat-
ing plate. Such conversion could result in hazardous
operating conditions.
7. 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. 4). 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 operation.
A WARNING
Never use open flame to test for gas leaks, as bodily in-
jury, property, damage or death could result.
Installation
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 1/2 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. 4), during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping at pressures equal
to or less than 1/2 psi (14" W.C.).
8. VENTING - This water heater must be installed with the factory
supplied draft hood in place. (Refer to Fig.4.) Vent connectors
must be attached to the draft hood outlet to connect the water
heater to the gasvent 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 slze 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 1/4" 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 casing
bodily injury, explosion, fire or death. To avoid the
risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon
monoxide, NEVER operate this water heater unless it
is properly vented and has as 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.

D. Do Not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors and
liquids, such as adhesives or paint thinner, in vicinity of this or any
other appliance. If such flammables must be used, open doors and
windows for ventilation, and all gas burning appliances in vicinity
should be shut off, including their pilot lights, to avoid vapors
igniting.
NOTE: Flammable vapors may be drawn by air currents from
surrounding areas to the water heater.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
E. Do not allow combustible materials such as newspaper, rags or mops
to accumulate near water heater.
F. If there is any difficulty in understanding or following the OPERATION
or MAINTENANCE instructions, it is recommended that a qualified
person or serviceman perform the work.
A CAUTION
Hydrogen gas 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. 5.) To comply with safety 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.

TIME / TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS
A DANGER
Table courtesy of Shriners Bum Institute
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 water temperature by mixing hot
and cold water in branch water lines are available. Contact a licensed
plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information,
3. ADJUSTMENTS— There are no user adjustments (other than water
temperature selection) required on this water heater. The thermostatic
valve is equipped for total regulation of the main burner and pilot gas
pressures. The burner does not require adjustment.
Operation
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 more
information.
4. SAFETY CONTROLS— The thermostat is constructed with a built in
safety shutoff device designed to shut off the gas supply to the bumer 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 bumer, if the water in the water heater exceeds normal
operating temperatures. Refer to the Troubleshooting Section of this
manual, or contact your dealer for service.
5. EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN—
A WARNING
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off,
tum off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
If water heater has been subjected to fire, flood, or physical damage tum
off the manual gas control (shut -off) valve, and do not operate the water
heater again until it has been checked by qualified personnel.
NOTE: Replace any part of the gas control system which has been
under water.
6. CONDENSATION— Condensation can form on the tank when it is first
filled with cold water. The condensation might also occur with a heavy
water draw and very cold inlet water. Drops of water falling on the burner
can produce a sizzling or pinging sound, and water may also be seen
beneath the water heater. This condition is not unusual, and will disappear
after the water in the water heater becomes heated. If, 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.
Properly maintained, your water heater will provide years of dependable
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.
1. ROUTINE PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
A. The water heater's internal flue must be inspected annually to be certain
it is clean by removing the draft hood and flue baffle, (Refer to Fig. 1.)
When reinstalling the flue baffle make certain it is hung securely 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 attached and inspect chimney.
10
NOTE: Refer to Hydrogen Gas Caution, In Safety Precautions
Section on page 9.
After 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 filled before again placing it in operation.
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 wafer, turn off cold water supply, then it is necessary 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.
A DANGER
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 designed to
prolong the life of the glass lined tank. Refer to Fig. 4 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 permanent removal will
shorten the life of the glass Tined tank and effect the water heater
warranty.
Maintenance
Replace any corroded through vent connector and remove any
obstruction in vent connector or chimney.
B. Visually inspect the burner annually while firing and pilot burner flame
with main burner off. (Refer to Figure 6 for normal flame pattern.) If any
unusual burner operation is noted, the water heater should be shut off
until qualified service assistance can be obtained.
For cleaning, remove the burner from the water heater. A vacuum
cleaner can be used on the burner and floor shield inside the water
heater. The burner can also be cleaned by scrubbing with mild detergent
C. The area near the water heater must be kept free of flammable liquids
such as gasoline or paint thinners, adhesives and other combustible
materials.
Maintenance
NOTE: If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the
water heater discharges periodically, this may be due to
thermal 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.
Figure 6. — Main Burner and Pilot Flame Pattern
A CAUTION
For your safety, cleaning of main burner should be
performed ONLY by qualified service personnel, as it
involves disconnection of gas piping and leak testing.
D. For adequate combustion (proper bumer operation) and ventilation, make
certain the flow of air to the water heater is not obstructed.
E. At least once a year, lift and release the lever handle on the temperature
pressure relief valve, located near the top of the water heater, to make
certain the valve operates freely and allow several gallons to flush
through discharge line. Make certain the discharged 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.
How to Obtain Service Assistance
1, Should you have any questions about your new water heater, or if it
requires adjustment, repair, or routine maintenance, it is suggested that
you first contact your installer, plumbing contractor or previously agreed
upon service agency. In the event that the firm has moved, or is
unavailable, refer to the telephone directory commercial listings or local
utility for qualified service assistance.
2. Should your problem not be solved to your complete satisfaction, you
should then contact the Manufacturer's National Service Department at
the following address:
2600 Gunter Park Drive
Montgomery, Alabama 36109 -1413
Phone: 1-800-432-8373.

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 allowed to
accumulate as this can affect the service life of the water heater. It is
suggested that a few quarts of water 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 clean
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 resulting pressure surges.
Strategically located risers in the water pipe system can be used to
minimize the problem. Also water hammer 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. 4 for
anode rod location. Make certain cold water supply is turned off before
removing anode rod.
When contacting the manufacturer, the following information should be
made available:
1. Model and serial numbers of the water heater as shown on the rating
plate attached to the jacket of the heater.
2. Address where water heater is located and can be seen.
3. Name and address of installer and any service agency who performed
service on the water heater.
4. Date of original installation and dates any service work was performed.
5. Details of the problem as you can best describe them.
6. List of people, with dates, who have been contacted regarding your
problem.

Dear Permit Holder:

RE: Permit Application No. M01 -143
Location: Madriage Residence
14011 Macadam Rd S.
In reviewing our current records the above noted permit has not received a final inspection by the City of
Tukwila Building Division. Per the Uniform Building Code and /or Uniform Mechanical Code, every permit
issued by the Building Official under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null
and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date
of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time
after the work is commenced for a period of 180 days.
Based on the above, you are hereby advised to:
• Call the City Of Tukwila Permit Center at (206) 431 -3670 to schedule a
progress or a final inspection
A progress inspection is intended to determine if substantial work has been accomplished since issuance of
the permit or last inspection; or if the project should be considered abandoned.
If such determination is made, the Building Code does allow the Building Official to approve a one -time
extension up to 180 days. Extension requests must be in writing and provide satisfactory reasons why
circumstances beyond the applicant's control have prevented action from being taken.
In the event you do not call for the above inspection or request and receive an extension prior to February
23, 2002, your permit will become null and void and any further work on the project will require a new permit
and associated fees.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
