Connecting the pressure relief valve (PRV)
A listed pressure relief valve supplied with the heater must
be installed at the time of installation. Should a discharge
line be added to the PRV no valve is to be placed between
the PRV and the heater. No reducing coupling or other
restriction may be installed in the discharge line. The
discharge line must be installed such that it allows complete
drainage of both the PRV and the line. The location of the
PRV must be readily accessible for servicing or
replacement., and be mounted as close to the water heater
as possible See Fig 4. To install the PRV, a suitable fitting
connected to an extension on a “T” fitting can be sweated
to the hot water line.

to no less than 1/2 inch diameter to allow the full flow
capacity. Threaded connectors are supplied with this heater
for both the hot and cold water fittings. These fittings permit
1/2” NPT connections to be made. Be certain there are no
loose particles or dirt in the piping. Blow out or flush the
lines before connecting to the AquaStar. A ball valve should
be installed on the cold water feed line to facilitate servicing
the heater.
For installation on a private well system, be sure that the
water pressure is set between 30 and 50 psi.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before proceeding with the operation of the heater make
sure that the system is filled with water.
Make sure the water heater drain plug is closed. See Figure

Close the hot water faucet after the water flows freely and
all the air has escaped from the system. The water heater
is now ready to work
