Mounting the Water Heater

Water Supply Connections
Plumbing should be carried out by a qualified
plumber in accordance with local codes.
Use approved plumbing materials and tools only.
To conserve energy and to prevent freezing,
insulate both cold and hot water supply lines.
DO NOT cover the drain valves.
To ensure proper operation of the water
heater, the following water pressure
guidelines should be followed:
• Operation of the water heater requires the
minimum water pressure of 14 psi and a
minimum water flow rate of 0.75 gpm.
• Additional water pressure is required for
long pipe runs and outlet fitting(s) water
pressure drops.
• To maintain proper performance, ensure
sufficient water supply pressure. The
Required Water Pressure = Min. Operating
Water Pressure (14 psi) + Pipe Pressure
Loss + Faucet and Shower Pressure Loss +
Safety Margin (more than 5 psi).
• To supply hot water to upper floors,
additional water pressure (0.44 psi/ft)
must be ensured.The measurement should
be calculated by the distance between the
water inlet of the water heater (ground
level) to the hot water faucet (upper floor level).
• Well water systems should be set at a
range of 50-60 psi.

Make sure the location of the appliance allows for easy access
and operation.
In case of dry wall or concrete wall use dry wall anchors or lag bolts.
The water heater requires 120VAC/ 60Hz. Have a receptacle with
ground terminal near the water heater. The length of the power
supply cord is 5 feet.
Drill the holes as per the sizes in the figure to the left, put 2
expansion screws into the top holes, and 2 rubber screws into the
bottom holes.
Hang up the water heater unit, tighten the expansion screws, and
put 2 wood thread screws into the bottom holes.
CAUTION: Reinforcement of the wall is
required in case the wall is not strong enough
to hold the appliance.
• When the water is supplied from a water
supply tank, the height of the tank and the
diameter of the pipes and their relation to
water pressure, should be taken into
consideration. Gravity water pressure is
not recommended.
NOTICE: If the water flow resistance of a
shower head is too high, the burner in the
water heater will fail to ignite. Keep the
shower head clean from debris that could
cause additional pressure drop.
NOTICE: If using mixing valves on the outlet,
choose one which prevents cold water
pressure from overcoming hot water line
pressure.
IMPORTANT: Do not apply heat to the HOT
or COLD water connections. Any heat applied
to the water supply fittings will permanently
damage the internal components of the water
heater.

CAUTION: This water heater must
only be used with the following water
supply system conditions:
• With clean, potable water free of
corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, or
other contaminates.
• With inlet water temperatures
above 32°F, but not exceeding 120°F.
• Free of lime and scale deposits.
• DO NOT reverse the hot and cold
water connections. The water
heater will not operate.
