C. PROTECTION FROM WATER DAMAGE
CAUTION:
All water heaters have a risk of leakage at some
unpredictable time.
IT IS
THE CUSTOMER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE A
CATCH PAN OR OTHER ADEQUATE MEANS, SO THAT THE
RESULTANT FLOW OF WATER WILL NOT DAMAGE
FURNISHINGS OR PROPERTY.
(See Figure 1)
The Warranty provided assures replacement within its terms, but
specifically does not warrant against consequential damage caused by a
leaking water heater.
D. RELIEF VALVE
WARNING:
A POTENTIAL HAZARD TO LIFE AND PROPERTY
MAY EXIST IN ANY WATER HEATER IF AN APPROVED
TEMPERATURE-AND-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS NOT
PROPERLY INSTALLED.
For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures in
this water heater, install temperature-and-pressure protective
equipment by local codes, but not less than a combination
temperature-and-pressure relief valve certified by a nationally
recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of
production of listed equipment of materials, as meeting the
requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff for Hot
Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22-1971. This valve must be
marked with maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked
maximum allowable working pressure of the water heater
(150psi). Install the valve into an opening provided and marked
for this purpose in the water heater, and orient it or provide the
tubing so that any discharge from the valve will exit only within 6
inches above, or at any distance below the structural floor and
cannot contact any live electrical parts. The discharge opening
must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances.
CAUTION:
A relief valve is designed to discharge excessively hot
water.
THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE TO PROTECT
PROPERTY AND PERSONNEL FROM HARM WHEN THE
VALVE FUNCTIONS.
Install the T&P provided on hot water outlet of tank as shown in
Figures 1 and 2. (Except model S70DTPP, see next)
For model S70DTPP, Install the T&P provided on the ¾” NPT
brass connection that is installed on the side of the heater. (See
Figure 3)
Care must be taken to be sure that the stem of the pressure-and-
temperature relief valve is immersed in the water within the top 6
inches of the tank.
