General Information continued-

A sacrificial anode(s) is used to extend tank life. Removal of any anode,

except for inspection and/or replacement, will nullify the warranty. In areas

where water is unusually active, an odor may occur at the hot water faucet

due to a reaction between the sacrificial anode and impurities in the water.

If this should happen, an alternative anode(s) may be purchased from the

supplier that installed this water heater. This will minimize the odor while

protecting the tank. Additionally, the water heater should be flushed with

appropriate dissolvers to eliminate any bacteria.

INSTALLATION

Locating the Water Heater

This water heater MUST be installed indoors out of the wind and

weather.

This water heater shall NOT be installed in any location where gasoline

or flammable vapors are likely to be present, unless the installation is

such to eliminate the probable ignition of gasoline or flammable vapors.

The location this water heater is to be installed is of utmost importance.

Before installing this water heater, consult the installation section of these

instructions. After reading these installation and operating instructions,

select a location for the water heater where the floor is level and is easily

accessible to a power supply and water connections. It is recommended that

the water heater be located near the center of greatest hot water usage to

prevent heat loss through the pipes.

DO NOT locate the water heater where water lines could be subjected to

freezing temperatures. Locate the water heater so that access panels

and drain valves are accessible.

WARNING

This product contains one or more chemicals known to the State of

California to cause cancer, birth defects, or reproductive harm.

IMPORTANT

Before proceeding, please inspect the water heater and it’s components for

possible damage. DO NOT install any damaged components. If damage is

evident, please contact the supplier where the water heater was purchased

or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for replacement parts.

WARNING

Water heaters are heat producing appliances. To avoid damage or

injury, there shall be no materials stored against the water heater and

proper care shall be taken to avoid unnecessary contact (especially by

children) with the water heater. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL

FLAMMABLE MATERIALS, SUCH AS GASOLINE OR PAINT THINNER BE

USED OR STORED IN THE VICINITY OF THIS WATER HEATER OR ANY

LOCATION FROM WHICH FUMES COULD REACH THE WATER HEATER.

Locating The Water Heater continued-

Some models are not equipped with a drain valve. For those models,

install a drain tee in the cold water inlet as close as practical to the

water heater.

Water heater corrosion and component failure can be caused by the

heating and breakdown of airborne chemical vapors. Examples of some

typical compounds that are potentially corrosive are: spray can

propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning

refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium or sodium chloride,

waxes and process chemicals. These materials are corrosive at very low

concentration levels with little or no odor to reveal their presence.

NOTE: DAMAGE TO THE WATER HEATER CAUSED BY EXPOSURE TO

CORROSIVE VAPORS IS NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. DO NOT

OPERATE THE WATER HEATER IF EXPOSURE HAS OR WILL OCCUR.

DO NOT STORE ANY POTENTIALLY CORROSIVE COMPOUNDS IN THE

VICINITY OF THE WATER HEATER.

This water heater must be located in an area where leakage of the tank

or water line connections and the combination temperature and pressure

relief valve will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water

heater or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot

be avoided, a suitable drain pan must be installed under the water

heater. The drain pan must have a minimum length and width of at

least 4 in. (10.2 cm) greater than the diameter of the water heater. The

drain pan, as described above, can be purchased from your plumbing

professional. The drain pan must be piped to an adequate drain. The

piping must be pitched for proper drainage.

CLEARANCES

1. Minimum clearance to combustible material is 0 inches for the Top,

Sides, Front, and Rear of this water heater. However, it is

recommended that at least 18 inches (45.7 cm) from the Top, and

24 inches (61 cm) from the Front. Clearance for servicing may be

reduced down to minimum clearance to combustible material, but

service time and effort may be greatly increased.

2. Increase distances to provide clearances for servicing.

To comply with NSF requirements this water heater is to be:

a) Sealed to the floor with sealant, in a smooth and easily cleanable

way, or

b) Installed with an optional leg kit that includes legs and/or

extensions that provide a minimum clearance of 6’’ beneath the

water heater.

Note: For California installation this water heater must be braced,

anchored, or strapped to avoid falling or moving during an earthquake.

See instructions for correct installation procedures. Instructions may

be obtained from DSA Headquarters Office, 1102 Q Street, Suite 5100,

Sacramento, CA 95811.

Water Connections

NOTE: BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE

MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE.

After shutting the main water supply valve, open a faucet to relieve the

water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes

while making the water connections to the water heater. After the

pressure has been relieved, close the faucet. The COLD water inlet and

HOT water outlet are identified on top of the water heater. The fittings

at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet are dielectric waterway

fittings with 3/4’’ NPT tapered male threads. Make the proper plumbing

connections between the water heater and the plumbing system in the

house. Install a shut-off valve in the cold water supply line.

If this water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as

the one having a back-flow preventer in the cold water supply,

provisions shall be made to control thermal expansion. DO NOT operate

this water heater in a closed system without provisions for controlling

thermal expansion. Your water supplier or local plumbing inspector

should be contacted on how to control this situation.

After installation of the water lines, open the main water supply valve

and fill the water heater. While the water heater is filling, open several

hot water faucets to allow air to escape from the water system. When

a steady stream of water flows through the faucets, close them and

check all water connections for possible leaks. NEVER OPERATE THE

WATER HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH

WATER.

CAUTION

If sweat fittings are to be used, DO NOT apply heat to the nipples on top

of the water heater. Sweat the tubing to the adapter before fitting the

adapter to the water connections. It is imperative that heat is not applied

to the nipples containing a plastic liner.

IMPORTANT

FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED 3/4’’ X 3/4’’

TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL RELEASE THE

MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM

EXCESSIVE TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURES.

Water Connections continued-

WARNING

For protection against excessive temperatures and pressure, install

temperature and pressure protective equipment required 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 or materials, as

meeting the Requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff

Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, and the Standard

CAN1-4.4 Temperature, Pressure, Temperature and Pressure Relief

Valves and Vacuum Relief Valves. The combination temperature and

pressure relief valve shall be marked with a maximum set pressure, not

to exceed the maximum working pressure of the water heater. The

combination temperature and pressure relief valve shall also have an

hourly rated temperature steam BTU discharge capacity not less than

the hourly input rating of the water heater.

Install the combination temperature and pressure relief valve into the

opening provided and marked for this purpose on the water heater

Note: Some models may already be equipped or supplied with a

combination temperature and pressure relief valve. Verify that the

combination temperature and pressure relief valve complies with local

codes. If the combination temperature and pressure relief valve does

not comply with local codes, replace it with one that does. Follow the

installation instructions above on this page.

Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the combination

temperature and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches (15.3

cm) above, or any distance below the structural floor and cannot contact

any live electrical part. The discharge line is to be installed to allow for

complete drainage of both the temperature and pressure relief valve and

the discharge line. The discharge opening must not be subjected to

blockage or freezing. DO NOT thread, plug or cap the discharge line. It

is recommended that a minimum of four (4) inches (10.2 cm) be

provided on the side of the water heater for servicing and maintenance

of the combination temperature and pressure relief valve.

Do not place a valve between the combination temperature and

pressure relief valve and the tank

Water Connections continued-

WARNING

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 reduce

the risk of injury under these conditions, 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. There should be

no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.

CAUTION

INCREASING THE THERMOSTAT SETTING ABOVE THE PRESET

TEMPERATURE MAY CAUSE SEVERE BURNS AND CONSUME

EXCESSIVE ENERGY. HOTTER WATER INCREASES THE RISK OF

SCALD INJURY.

Water Connections continued-

This water heater can deliver scalding temperature water at any faucet

in the system. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding

injury. Certain appliances, such as dishwashers and automatic clothes

washers, may require increased temperature water. By setting the

thermostat on this water heater to obtain increased temperature water

required by these appliances, you may create the potential for scald

injury. To protect against injury, you should install an ASSEapproved

mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point of

discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply

lines. Such valves are available from the manufacturer of this water

heater or a local plumbing supplier. Please consult with a plumbing

professional.
