In order to get a correct reading of the inlet supply pressure, the water heater and all other
gas appliances sharing the gas supply line must be firing at maximum capacity when the
pressure is measured. Maximum gas pressures must not exceed this value. If the gas
pressure is insufficient, this may be the result of an undersized gas supply pipe. The
MOBIUS water heater will not perform to its maximum capabilities without enough gas supply.
After connecting the unit, check for gas leaks by applying soapy water to all gas fittings and
connections. Soap bubbles are a sign of gas leaks.
This appliance and its individual shut-off valve must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by unplugging the unit and turning off the main gas valve during any pressure testing
of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ Psi. The appliance
and its gas connections must be leak tested before placing the unit in operation.
Always use approved connectors to connect the unit to the gas line. Always purge the gas
line of any debris before connection to the heater.
WARNING:
Conversion of this unit from natural gas to propane or propane to natural gas
cannot be done in the field. Contact your local retailer or distributor to get the correct unit for
your gas type.

without any tab.
Water Connections
An approved manual water control valve must be placed on the cold water supply line. All
soldering materials and piping materials must be useable with potable water.
If the water heater is installed in a closed water system, means shall be provided to control
thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control
this situation. After installing the water heater, purge the water line to remove all debris and
air from it. It may damage the heater if installer does not do this act.
There is a wire mesh filter on the coldwater inlet which discourages debris from entering the
heater. This will need to be cleaned periodically to ensure that the T-M1 has a long life cycle.
