SACRIFICIAL ANODES—Three sacrificial anode rods have
been installed in the tank head to extend tank life. The anode rods
should be inspected annually to determine the amount of sacrificial
decay and replaced when necessary to prolong tank life. Water
conditions in your area will influence the time interval for inspection
and replacement of the anode rod. The use of a water softener may
increase the speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection
of the anode is needed when using softened (or phosphate treated)
water. Contact the plumbing professional who installed the water
heater or the manufacturer listed on the rating plate for anode
replacement information.
WARNING
Install a discharge line so that water discharged from the
temperature and pressure relief valve will exit within six (6) inches
above, or any distance below, the structural floor and cannot contact
any live electrical part. The discharge line is to be installed to allow
for complete drainage of both the temperature and pressure relief
valve and the discharge line. The discharge opening must not be
subjected to blockage or freezing. DO NOT thread, plug, or cap
the discharge line. It is recommended that a minimum clearance of
four (4) inches be provided on the side of the water heater for
servicing and maintenance of the combination temperature and
pressure relief valve
Do not place a valve between the combination temperature
and pressure relief valve and the tank!
