Water Supply
Connect the cold water inlet supply
Note: Use white Teflon tape at all threaded water connections
- The cold water inlet joint is ½” NPT threaded pipe.
- The water inlet should be connected by using flexible heavy duty tubing or rigid
PVC pipe. If you choose flexible tubing, you will need a ½” threaded male to ½”
hose barb adapter. Tubing should be secured with properly sized hose clamps.
Rigid pipe should be ½” male threads. Teflon tape should be employed with any
threaded fittings.
- The inner diameter of the inlet pipe (including the valve) should not be less than
3/8”. Larger diameter pipe is acceptable with the appropriate adapters to reduce to
½” at the inlet joint.
- The cold water valve must be installed inline with the water inlet pipe.
- Always flush a new unit with water to clear out any collected deposits or
debrisprior to installation. The supplied screen filter must be correctly installed in
the cold water inlet to prevent mineral deposits from your water supply from
building up in the unit's water valve assembly. After flushing with cold water and
confirming that there is no residue in the pipe, install the rubber gasket and tighten
the water inlet joint.

Mounting Your Water Heater
a)When possible, your water heater should be mounted directly to studs. There
should be a screw in every available mounting location on the heater. If studs are
not available, do NOT hang unit directly from sheetrock without utilizing expansion
screws.
b) When utilizing expansion screws for sheetrock mounting, hold the unit on the
wall where you want it mounted. Mark with a pencil the (4) mounting holes.
Remove the unit from the wall, and drill 3/8” holes on each mark. (See drawings
below).
