INSTALLING THE NEW WATER HEATER THERMAL EXPANSION WATER PIPING As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed system the volume of water will grow. As the volume of water grows there will be a corresponding increase in water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can cause premature tank failure (leakage). This type of failure is not covered under the limited warranty. Thermal expansion can also cause intermittent temperature-pressure relief valve operation:

SEDIMENT TRAPS To fi ll the water heater with water: 1. Close the water heater drain valve by turning the handle to the right (clockwise). The drain valve is on the lower front of the water heater. 2. Open the cold water supply valve to the water heater. NOTE: The cold water supply valve must be left open when the water heater is in use. 3. To insure complete fi lling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening the nearest hot water faucet. Allow water to run until a constant fl ow is obtaine

Be sure to remove all burrs from around the inside as well as the outside of the pipe. A slight chamfer (bevel) of about 10°-15° should be added to the end to permit easier insertion of the pipe into the end of the fi tting. Failure to chamfer the edge of the pipe may remove cement from the fi tting socket, causing the joint to leak. STEP E F. Joint ass
