GENERAL
Unpack the water heater from the shipping carton carefully.
DO NOT CUT THE SHIPPING CARTON WITH
A SHARP INSTRUMENT.
Stand the unit upright and remove the plastic wrap. Locate the four (4)
mounting holes in the metal back plate. Position the unit against the wall with the two inlet and outlet
fitting tubes pointed up toward the ceiling. Refer to Mounting Clearances in this section of the manual.
Make sure the unit is level and attach to the wall with inch or larger lag bolts that are at least 1½ inches
long. If attaching to sheet-‐‑rock or paneling, anchors or molly bolts should be used to prevent the screws
from pulling through the wall. If the water heater is to be installed on a cinder block or concrete wall,
attach a ½ or ¾ inch section of plywood (20 x 20 inches square) to the wall first, then use wood screws to
attach the water heater to the plywood.

ATTACHING THE WATER SUPPLY
WARNING #1: Always use two wrenches
when making any attachments of the water supply. Hold the
water heater’s inlet and outlet fittings secure while attaching the cold water and hot water lines. Never
attempt to attach water lines to the heater’s fittings without using a second wrench to hold the fittings
secure. The heater’s inlet and outlet fittings are designed to turn freely.
WARNING #2: Never solder
water supply lines to the water heater’s fittings. Heat from the soldering may
damage the heat exchanger.
WARNING #3: Do not use Plumber’s Putty or PVC/CPVC primer and glue
on the threads of the water
heater’s inlet and outlet fittings. Some of the putty compounds on the market are very aggressive and could
potentially dissolve the threads on the heater’s fittings. PVC/CPVC primer and glue will also dissolve the
threads on the heater’s fittings. Teflon Tape is the only sealer that should be used on the threads of the inlet
and outlet fittings.
