STEP 4
Carefully inspect all connections, unions, and the pressure relief valve (if installed) for leaks.
STEP 5
If your water heater is installed on a second floor, heated attic, or other location where water damage could occur in the
unlikely event of a leak, we highly recommend that a drip pan (minimum 2.6 cm (1 inch) deep) be installed and connected to
a suitable drain. Alternatively, you can install an active water leak detector and shut-off valve designed to turn off your
water supply in the event that a leak is ever detected.
