Water Connections continued-
Utility Models (See Figure 2)
The hot and cold water connections are identified on the side of the water
heater. Connect the hot and cold water lines to the installed nipples using
unions. Install a listed temperature-pressure relief valve in the opening on
the side of the water heater. Install a vacuum relief anti-siphon device in the
cold water inlet line when using the side cold water connection.
The 6 and 12 gallon models are equipped for installation with either top or
side water connections. They are shipped from the factory with side nipples
installed and the alternate top connections plugged. For ease of conversion,
the alternate top inlet is supplied with a dip tube. If the top water
connections are needed, remove the installed side nipples and the pipe
plugs from the alternate top connections. Install the nipples in the top water
connections and install the pipe plugs in the side connections. Install a
vacuum relief anti-siphon device in the cold water inlet when using the side
cold water connection.
