❑
Branch circuit wire and fusing or circuit breaker of proper size.
❑
Electrical connections tight and unit properly grounded.
The presence of water in the piping and water heater does not
provide sufficient conduction for a ground. Non-metallic piping,
dielectric unions, flexible connectors etc. can cause the water
heater to be electrically isolated.
The branch circuit wiring should include either:
A. Metallic conduit or metallic sheathed cable approved for use as a
grounding conductor and installed with fittings approved for the purpose.
B. Non-metallic sheathed cable or metallic conduit or metallic sheathed
cable not approved for use as a ground conductor shall include a
separate conductor for grounding. It should be attached to the ground
terminals of the water heater and the electrical distribution box.
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover any damage or defect
caused by installation, attachment or use of any type of energy
saving or other unapproved devices (other than those authorized
by the manufacturer) into, onto or in conjunction with the water
heater. The use of unauthorized energy saving devices may
shorten the life of the water heater and may endanger life and
property. The manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for such
loss or injury resulting from the use of such unauthorized devices.
If local codes require external application of insulation blanket kits the
manufacturer’s instructions included with the kit must be carefully followed.
Application of any external insulation to this water heater
will require careful attention to the following:
•
Do not cover the temperature and pressure relief valve.
•
Do not cover jacket access panels to thermostats and heat-
ing elements.
•
Do not cover electrical junction box of water heater.
•
Do not cover operating or warning labels attached to the water
heater nor attempt to relocate them on exterior of insulation
blanket.
6. PIPE INSULATION —
For increased energy efficiency, certain water
heater models covered by this Use & Care Manual have been
supplied with two (2) 24” (61 cm) sections of pipe insulation. Should
the model being employed in your particular installation include the
pipe insulation, please install the insulation as shown below for the
type of installation configuration that best matches yours.
