WATER PIPING
HOT WATER CAN SCALD
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space
heating, clothes washing, dish washing, cleaning and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently Injury
you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These
include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally disabled. If anyone using hot water in your home
fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring certain temperature water at the hot
water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting
that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve should be used at the hot water taps used
by these people or at the water heater. Valves for reducing point of use temperature by mixing cold and hot
water are also available.
Consult a Qualified Installer or Service Agency. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for Installation of the valves.
Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section in this
manual.
This water heater shall not be connected to any heating systems or components used with a non potable water
heating appliance.
Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment shall not be introduced into this system.
Water supply system may, because of such events as high line pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of water
hammer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back flow
preventers, etc. to control these types of problems. When these devices are not equipped with an Internal by-
pass, and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be closed. As water is heated,
It expands(thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water.
The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and Increases the pressure of the water system.
If the relieving point of the water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the valve will relieve
the excess pressure. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not limited for the constant relief of thermal
expansion. This is an unacceptable condition and must be corrected.
It is recommended that any devices installed which could create a closed system have a by-pass and/or the
system have an expansion tank or device to relieve the pressure built by thermal expansion in the water
system. Expansion tanks are available for ordering through a local plumbing contractor. Contact the local water
supplier and/or a service agency for assistance In controlling these situations.
NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold water fittings, it is strongly recommended
that the electric unions or couplings be Installed on this water heater when connected to copper pipe.
The water heater is equipped with 1/2 inch NPT water connections.
If using copper tubing, older tubing to an adapter before attaching the adapter to the cold water inlet
connection. Do not solder that cold water supply line directly to the cold water inlet, it will harm the dip tube and
damage the tank.
WATER PIPING PRESSURE TEST
This section is only for the manufacturer installing the water heater when the installation is to comply with
H.U.D. Standards. When testing the waterways, H.U.D. Standards state: “Water distribution system: All
water piping in the water distribution system shall be subjected to a pressure test. The test shall be made by
subjecting the system to air or water at 100 psi for 15 minutes without loss of pressure. When air pressure is
used, the water heater shall not be connected during the test.”
TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
This heater is provided with a properly certified combination temperature-pressure relief valve by the
manufacturer.
The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of
production of listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for Relief Valve for Hot Water Supply
Systems, ANSI Z21.22 • CSA4.4, and the code requirements of ASME.
If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local codes, but not less than a combination temperature
and pressure relief valve certified as indicated in the above paragraph.
The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working
pressure of the water heater (150psi=1035kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water heater input
rate as shown in the model rating plate.
For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be removed from its designated opening nor
plugged.
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designed for
the relief valve. Provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches (153mm) above an adequate
drain, or external to the building or structure. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part.
The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length,
over 30 feet (9.14m), or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity
of the valve.
No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing
directly to discharge drain unless a 6 inch air gap is provided. The relief valve must be allowed to discharge
water in sufficient quantities, should circumstances demand, to prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or property
damage. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may cause
property damage.
THE DISCHARGE PIPE:
•
Shall not be smaller in size than the outlet pipe size of the valve, or have any reducing couplings or other
restrictions.
•
Shall not be plugged or blocked.
•
Shall be of material listed for hot water distribution.
•
Shall be installed so as to allow complete drainage of both the temperature-pressure relief valve, and the
discharge pipe.
•
Shall terminate at an adequate drain or external to the building or structure.
•
Shall not have any shut-off valve between the relief valve and tank nor in the discharge pipe.
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution should be
taken to ensure that no one is in front of or around the outlet of the temperature-pressure relief valve discharge
line, and the water manually discharged will not cause any bodily injury or property damage because the water
may be extremely hot.
If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately
close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the temperature-
pressure relief valve with a new one.
FILLING THE WATER HEATER
Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank and heating
element, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON”
electrical supply to the water heater. The manufacturer will not warrant any elements damaged by failure to
follow instructions.
TO FILL THE WATER HEATER WITH WATER:
1. Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater. The cold water supply valve must be left open when
the water heater Is In use.
2. To ensure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water
to run until a constant flow is obtained. This will let air out of the water heater and the piping.
3. Check all water piping and connections for leaks. Repair as needed.
4. Never alter or modify the certified construction of the water heater or its components, or bypass any safety
features. Doing so voids all warranties.
WIRING
Never use the water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank and the heating
element, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning on the
power.
After reading these instructions, consider the following points before starting the pump:
1. Verify that the discharge pipe is properly connected.
2. Verify that the electrical connection is 120 VAC, 60 Hz.
3. Verify that the electrical socket is GFCI protected and in good condition. Test GFCI protected outlet before
use.
4. Verify that water and moisture cannot get near the power supply socket.
5. Verify that the pump is installed so as to prevent running dry.
6. Once plugged in, the pump will continue pumping until it is unplugged.
TEMPERATURE REGULATION
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a temperature which will satisfy space
heating, clothes washing, dish washing, cleaning and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injury
you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These
Installation
You must provide all wiring of the proper size outside of the water heater. You must obey the local codes and
the electric company requirements when you install this wiring.
This water heater is supplied with a flexible, grounded power cord and connects to a standard three-wire 120
volt 60Hz, grounded type outlet. If an outlet is not within reach of the power cord, contact a local electrician/
electrical contractor or the local electric utility to have a properly sized circuit (including outlet, wiring and
breaker) installed.
NOTE: Check the water heater’s data plate for power requirements.
If you are not familiar with the electric codes and practices, or if you have any doubt, even the slightest doubt,
in your ability to connect the wiring to the water heater, obtain the service of a competent electrician. Contact a
local electrical contractor and/or the local electric utility.
WATER HEATERS EQUIPPED FOR ONE VOLTAGE ONLY:
This water heater is equipped for one type voltage only. Check the rating plate near the bottom access
panel for the correct voltage. DO NOT use this water heater with any voltage other than the one shown on
the models rating plate. Failure to use the correct voltage can cause problems which can result in DEATH,
SERIOUS BODILY INJURY, OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. If you have any questions or doubts consult your
electric company.
If wiring from your fuse box or circuit breaker box was aluminum for your old water heater, replace it with
copper wire. If you wish to reuse the existing aluminum wire, have the connection at the water heater made by
a competent electrician. Contact a local electrical contractor and /or the local electric utility.
include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/mentally disabled. If anyone using hot water in your home
fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring certain temperature water at the hot
water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting
that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve should be used at the hot water taps used
by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available from your local plumbing contractor. Follow
manufacturer’s instructions for installation of the valves.
Never allow small children to use a hot water tap or to draw their own bath water. Never leave a child or
handicapped person unattended in a bathtub or shower.
It is recommended that lower water temperatures be used to avoid the risk of scalding. It is further
recommended, in all cases, that the water temperature thermostat be set for the lowest temperature which
satisfies your hot water needs. This will also provide the most energy efficient operation of the water heater.
KEEPING THE THERMOSTAT SETTING AT 120°F (49°C) OR LOWER WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF
SCALDS.
TO CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE SETTING:
The white knob on the front of the water heater is the temperature control. When the “OFF” mark is aligned
with the raised indicator arrow, the water heater is off. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the temperature,
and counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. The knob is marked with circular indentations of increasing
size. The larger the indentation, the higher the temperature setting. The temperature range of this water heater
is 68°F at the lowest setting and 158°F at the maximum setting. This water heater is shipped in the “OFF”
position. Adjust the dial to the desired temperature.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION
THERMAL EXPANSION
Water supply systems may, because of such events as high line pressure, frequent cut-offs, the effects of
water hammer among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, back
flow preventers, etc. to control these types of problems. When these devices are not equipped with an internal
by-pass, and no other measures are taken, the devices cause the water system to be closed. As water is
heated, it expands (thermal expansion) and closed systems do not allow for the expansion of heated water.
The water within the water heater tank expands as it is heated and increases the pressure of the water system.
If the relieving point of the water heater’s temperature-pressure relief valve is reached, the valve will relieve
the excess pressure. The temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal
expansion. This is an unacceptable condition and must be corrected. It is recommended that any devices
installed which could create a closed system have a by pass and/or the system have an expansion in the water
system. Expansion tanks are available for ordering through a local plumbing contractor. Contact the local water
heater supplier or service agency for assistance in controlling these situations.
STRANGE SOUNDS
Possible noises due to expansion and contraction of some metal parts during periods of heat-up and cool-
down do not necessarily represent harmful or dangerous conditions.
In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod(see parts section) for corrosion protection of
the tank. Certain water conditions will cause a reaction between this rod and the water. The most common
complaint associated with the anode rod is one of a “rotten egg smell” in the hot water. This odor is derived
from hydrogen sulfide gas dissolved in the water. The smell is the result of four factors which must all be
present for the odor to develop:
•
A concentration of sulfate in the supply water.
•
Little or no dissolved oxygen in the water.
•
A sulfate reducing bacteria which has accumulated within the water heater(this harmless bacteria is
nontoxic to humans).
•
An excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by the corrosion protective action of the anode.
Smelly water may be eliminated or reduces in some water heater models by replacing the anode(s) with one of
less active material, and then chlorinating the water heater tank and all hot water lines. Contact the local water
heater supplier or service agency for further information concerning an Anode Replacement and chlorination
treatment; we can only suggest that chlorination or aeration of the water supply be considered to eliminate the
water problem. Do not remove the anode leaving the tank unprotected. By doing so, all warranty on the water
heater tank is voided.
AIR IN HOT WATER FAUCETS
HYDROGEN GAS:
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system that has not been used for a long period of time
(generally two weeks or more). Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and explosive. To prevent the possibility
of injury under these conditions, we recommend the hot water faucet, located farthest away be opened for
several minutes before any electrical appliances which are connected to the hot water system are used (such
as a dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there will probably be an unusual sound
similar to air escaping through the pipe as the hot water faucet at the time it is open.
HIGHER WATER TEMPERATURE SHUT OFF SYSTEM
A non-adjustable high temperature limit control operates before steam temperatures are reached. The high
limit switch must be reset manually when it operates. BECAUSE THE HIGH LIMIT OPERATES ONLY WHEN
ABNORMALLY HIGH WATER TEMPERATURES ARE PRESENT, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT A QUALIFIED
SERVICE AGENT BE CONTACTED TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR OPERATION BEFORE
RESETTING.
•
Turn off and unplug the water heater. Do not attempt to reset thermostat with power on.
•
Remove the front panel, see “Removing Front Panel” in the Periodic Maintenance section.
•
Removing the insulation to expose the reset button.
•
Reset the high limit by pushing in the red button.
•
Replace the insulation so that it completely covers the thermostat and element.
•
Replace the front panel.
•
Plug in and turn on the water heater.
CARE AND CLEANING
DO NOT
•
Do not disassemble the motor housing. This motor has NO repairable internal parts, and disassembly may
cause leakage or dangerous electrical wiring issues.
Do not lift up the pump by the power cord.
IF THE PUMP IS NOT RUNNING PROPERLY
•
Remove the impeller cover screws.
•
Remove the impeller cover.
•
Inspect the gasket and impeller. If the impeller wears out, replace the impeller. The brushes could run 200
hours. If the brushes have been worn off, replace the brush. The brush must enter the square hole. Match
the brush curve to the armature curve.
NOTE: Do not disassemble the motor housing of the pump. This motor has NO repairable internal
parts, and disassembling may cause a dangerous electrical wiring issue.
ANODE ROD INSPECTION
The anode rod is used to protect the tank from corrosion. Most hot water tanks are equipped with an anode
rod. The submerged rod sacrifices itself to protect the tank. Instead of corroding the tank, water ions attack and
eat away the anode rod. This does not affect the water’s taste or color. The rod must be maintained to keep the
tank in operating condition.
NOTE: Artificially softened water is more corrosive because the process substitutes sodium ions for
magnesium and calcium ions. The use of a water softener may decrease the life of the water heater
tank.
Anode deterioration depends on water conductivity, not necessarily water condition. A corroded or pitted anode
rod indicates high water conductivity and should be checked and/or replaced more often than an anode rod
can extend the life of your water heater. Inspection should be conducted by a qualified technician, and at a
minimum should be checked every three years. The anode rod in this unit is attached to the element flange.
For removal instructions, see “ELEMENT CLEANING/REPLACEMENT.”
Typical (but not all) signs of a depleted anode rod are as follows:
1. The majority of the rods diameter is less than 3/8”.
2. Significant sections of the support wire (approximately 1/3 or more if the anode rod’s length) are visible.
If the anode rod shows signs of either or both it should be replaced.
NOTE: Whether re-installing or replacing the anode rod, check for any leaks and immediately correct if
found.
TEMPERATURE-PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE OPERATION
The temperature-pressure relief valve must be manually operated at least once a year. When checking the
temperature-pressure relief valve operation, make sure that no one is in front of or around the outlet of the
temperature-pressure relief valve discharge line, and that the water discharge will not cause any property
damage, as the water may be extremely hot.
If after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately
close the cold water inlet to the water heater, follow the draining instructions, and replace the temperature-
pressure relief valve with a new one.
If the temperature-pressure relief valve on the appliance weeps or discharges periodically, this may be due
to thermal expansion. You may have a check valve installed in the water line or a water meter with a check
valve. Consult your local water supplier or service agency for further information. Do not plug or remove the
temperature-pressure relief valve.
DRAINING
The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures. Also periodic draining
and cleaning of sediment from the tank may be necessary.
1. Turn off and unplug the water heater from the electric outlet.
2. CLOSE the cold water inlet valve to the water heater.
3. OPEN a nearby hot water faucet and leave open to allow for draining.
4. Disconnect water connections. Remove unit from wall. UNIT WILL BE HEAVY. Turn unit upside down and
drain unit into a suitable drain or receptacle.
REMOVING THE FRONT PANEL
1. Turn off and unplug the water heater from the electric outlet and follow “DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS”.
2. Remove the temperature knob by pulling straight out.
3. Using a Philips screwdriver, unscrew the bottom screw securing the outer door.
4. Lift up and remove front panel.
THERMOSTAT REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT

with the tank surface.
4. Replace the insulation block and the front panel.
ELEMENT CLEANING/REPLACEMENT
To remove the element from the tank in order to clean or replace it:
1. Turn off and unplug the water heater from the electrical outlet and follow “DRAINING INSTRUCTIONS.”
2. Remove the front panel; see the “REMOVING THE FRONT PANEL” section in this manual. Remove the
insulation pad.
3. Remove the two screws from the mounting bracket, being careful not to drop the screws into the unit, as
they will be difficult to retrieve. Remove bracket and set screws aside.
4. Remove the two spade connectors from the element.
5. Using a 10mm wrench, remove the four nuts around the element flange. Set nuts and lock washers aside.
6. Lift element up to clear the four mounting bolts, rotate 15° clockwise, and lift out.
7. Discard the old gasket and clean the area around the element opening. Removing any sediment from or
around the element opening and inside the tank.
8. If you are cleaning the element you have removed, do so by scraping or soaking in vinegar or a de-liming
solution.
NOTE: Replacement elements must be the same voltage and no greater wattage than listed on the
model rating plate affixed to the water heater.
9. A new gasket must be used in all cases to prevent a possible water leak. Place new element gasket in the
element opening over the four element bolts, orienting the gasket bulge facing waterside.
10. Insert the curved part of the element, rotate 20° clockwise, and continue to insert the element, being sure
that the four bolts fit into the element flange.
11. Replace the four lockwashers and 10mm nuts. Tighten until snug.
12. Place unit back on wall mounting bracket hooks. Reconnect the water inlet and outlet, open the nearest hot
water tap and follow filling instructions.
13. Never use this water heater unless it is completely full of water. To prevent damage to the tank and heating
element, the tank must be filled with water. Water must flow from the hot water faucet before turning “ON”
power. The manufacturer will not warranty any elements damaged by failure to follow instructions.
14. Check element for water leaks. If leakage occurs, tighten element. If necessary drain tank before repeating
Step 7 and 8, remove element and reposition gasket. Then repeat Step 10 through 14.
15. Replace the two spade connectors on element into their original positions.
16. Replace the mounting bracket with the center rise facing outward and the screw hole up.
17. Replace the insulation and front panel, lining up the three tabs at the top with the slots in the casing.

SERVICE
If a condition persists or you are uncertain about the operation of the water heater contact a service agency.
Use this guide to check a “Leaking” water heater. Many suspected “Leakers” are not leaking tanks. Often the
source of the water can be found and corrected.
If you are not thoroughly familiar with your water heater and safety practices, contact a qualified installer to
check the water heater.
LEAKAGE CHECKPOINTS
Read this manual first. Make sure the electrical power supply has been turned “OFF” before checking the tank
for leakage.
•
Condensation and dripping may be seen on pipes if the water temperature is low in humid weather or pipe
connections may be leaking.
•
Small amounts of water from temperature-pressure relief valve may be due to thermal expansion or high
water pressure in your area. If the valve is not piped to an open drain the released water could be mistaken
for a leaking heater, see “Thermal Expansion” section.
•
The temperature-pressure relief valve may be leaking at the tank fitting.
•
Water on the side of the tank may be condensation due to the panel or insulation not being in place.
•
Water in the water heater bottom or on the floor may be from condensation, loose connections, or the relief
valve. DO NOT replace the water heater until a full inspection of all possible water sources is made and
necessary corrective steps taken.
Leakage from other appliances, water lines, or ground seepage should also be checked.
To check where threaded portion enters tank, insert cotton swab between jacket opening and fitting. If
cotton is wet, follow “Draining” instructions in the “Periodic Maintenance” section and then remove fitting.
Put pipe dope or Teflon tape on the threads and replace. Then follow “Filling the Water Heater” instructions
in the “Installing the New Water Heater” section.
