Insulation Blankets
Insulation blankets, available to the general public, for external use on gas water heaters are not
necessary. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered
with storage tank heaters. This water heater does not store water, making an insulation blanket
unnecessary.
The manufacturer's warranty does not cover any damage or defect caused by installation,
attachment or use of any type of energy saving or other unapproved devices (other than those
authorized by the manufacturer) into, onto or in conjunction with the water heater.
The use of unauthorized energy saving devices may shorten the life of the water heater and may
endanger life and property. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for such loss or injury
resulting from the use of such unauthorized devices.
WARNING: If local codes require external application of insulation blanket kits the manufacturer's
instructions included with the kit must be carefully followed.
Pipe Installation
Inlet Pipe and Outlet Pipe Installation
Use pressure resistant pipe to connect the inlet and outlet
