Final Checklist

□
The water heater is not subject to corrosive
compounds in the air.
□
The water supply does not contain chemicals or
exceeds total hardness that will damage the heat
exchanger.
□
Clearances from the water heater unit are met.
□
Clearances from the exhaust outlet / air intake
are met.
□
Purge the water line of all debris and air by
closing the hot isolation valve and opening the
cold isolation valve and its drain. Debris will
damage the water heater. Use a bucket or hose
if necessary.
□
Ensure that hot and cold water lines are not
crossed to the unit and are leak free.
□
Clean the inlet water filter by closing the cold and
hot water inlet isolation (shut-off) valves. Put a
bucket under the filter at the bottom of the water
heater to catch any water that is contained inside
the unit. Unscrew the water filter. Rinse the
filter to remove any debris. Install the filter and
open the isolation valves.
□
Ensure that a pressure relief valve is installed with
a rating that exceeds the BTU input of the water
heater model. Refer to the rating plate on the
side of the water heater for BTU input.
□
A manual gas control valve has been placed in the
gas line to the water heater.
□
Check the gas lines and connections for leaks.
□
Confirm that the gas inlet pressure is within
limits.
□
Confirm that the water heater is rated for the gas
type supplied.
□
Confirm that the electricity is supplied from a 120
VAC, 60 Hz power source, is in a properly
grounded circuit, and turned on.

properly.
□
Verify that switches No. 2 and No. 3 in the SW1
DIP switch (tan switches) is set correctly for your
altitude.

□
Verify the system is functioning correctly by
connecting your manometer to the gas pressure
test port on the water heater. Operate all gas
appliances in the home or facility at high fire. The
inlet gas pressure at the water heater must not
drop below that listed on the rating plate.
□
If the water heater is not needed for immediate
use, then drain the water from the heat
exchanger.
□
Install the front panel.
□
Explain to the customer the importance of not
blocking the exhaust outlet or air intake.
□
Explain to the customer the operation of the
water heater, safety guidelines, maintenance, and
warranty.
