WARNING: Pressure relief valve discharge piping
must be piped near the floor and close to a drain to
eliminate the potential of severe burns. Do not pipe
to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to
local codes.
Reversing Water Connections
Follow these instructions to change the water connec-
tions from the left-hand side (standard) to the

2. Label all electrical connections and conduit lines.
This may include the flow switch, low water cut-off
probe and/or pump.
3. Disconnect or isolate the main gas pipe from the
heater (if applicable).
4. Remove both in/out and return header access
