IsolaƟonValvesandPressureReliefValve
TheisolaƟonvalvesprovidetheabilitytoisolatethe
waterheaterfromthestructure’splumbingandallow
quickaccesstoflushtheheatexchanger.Checkwith
localcodestodetermineifapressureand
temperaturereliefvalveisrequired.Theincluded
valvesmeetAmerican NaƟonal Standard (ANSI
Z21.10.3) / Canadian Standard (CSA 4.3)andare
ANSI/NSF61
approvedforpotablewater.

beclearlyvisible.Thedischargeendof
thelineshall
beplain(unthreaded)andaminimumof¾”in

suitableforwateratleast180°Fahrenheitandcanbe
nomorethan30feetinlengthandcontainnomore

PressureReliefValveMaintenance:
Forpropercareofthisapprovedpressurereliefvalve,
itisrecommendedthatthevalveismanually
operatedonceayear.Indoingso,itwillbenecessary
totakeprecauƟonswithregardto
thedischargeof
potenƟallyscaldinghotwaterunderpressure.Ensure
dischargehasaplacetoflow.Contactwithyourbody
orotherpropertymaycausedamageorharm.
PleasenotethatonlythePRVinthispackageis
