Installation Checklist
BEFORE OPERATING THE WATER HEATER:
1. Check the gas line for leaks.
a. Use a soapy water solution. DO NOT test for gas leaks
using a match or open flame.
b. Brush the soapy water solution on all gas pipes, joints
and fittings.
c. Check for bubbling soap. This means you have a leak.
Turn “OFF” gas and make the necessary repairs.
d. Recheck for leaks.
e. Rinse off soapy solution and wipe dry.
2. Is the new temperature-pressure relief valve properly
installed and piped to an adequate drain? See “Temperature-
Pressure Relief Valve” section.
3. Are the cold and hot water lines connected to the water
heater correctly? See “Water Piping” instructions in the
“Installing the New Water Heater” section.
