WATER CONNECTIONS 
 
 
 
 
 
WARNING
 
FAILURE TO INSTALL AND MAINTAIN A NEW, LISTED 
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WILL 
RELEASE THE MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM 
WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE 
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURES. 
 
Hydrogen gas can be produced in an operating water heater that 
has not had water drawn from the tank for a long period of time.  
HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE.  To 
prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, we 
recommend the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes 
at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance that is 
connected to the hot water system.  If hydrogen is present, 
there will be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the 
pipes as hot water begins to flow.  Do not smoke or have open 
flame near the faucet at the time it is open. 
 
Keep clear of the temperature and pressure relief valve 
discharge line outlet.  The discharge may be hot enough to 
cause scald injury.  The water is under pressure and may splash. 
 
 
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.
