Plumbing Connections; Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve - EcoSmart ECO MINI 1 Manuel D'installation Et D'utilisation

PLUMBING CONNECTIONS

Connect the cold water inlet pipe to the inlet nipple (marked with a blue
ring) and the hot water outlet pipe to the outlet nipple (marked with a red
ring).
IMPORTANT: If Water pipes are copper or bronze, use dielectric
connections to prevent corrosion. Failure to provide dielectric insulation may
result in premature tank or nipple failure and may void your warranty.
Insure that the water heater is installed in a level position. Install a shut off
valve on the cold water side of the water heater. The valve is for servicing
and the valve should be in the open position when the water heater is in
operation. In order to protect the water heater from heat damage due to
soldering, solder a piece of tubing to a threaded UNION fitting before
screwing the UNION to the tank. DO NOT APPLY HEAT DIRECTLY TO
INLET OR OUTLET CONNECTIONS.
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE:
CAUTION!: To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and
temperatures in this water heater, install temperature and pressure
protective equipment required by local codes, but no less than a
combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified as
meeting the requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas
Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, by a
nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic
inspection of production of listed equipment or materials. The valve
must be oriented, provided with tubing, or otherwise installed so
that discharge can exit only within 6 inches above, or at any
distance below, the structural floor, and cannot contact any live
electrical part.
Install a discharge pipe from the temperature/pressure relief valve
terminating at a sink or drain. DO NOT CAP OR PLUG THE END OF
THE DISCHARGE PIPE. THE DISCHARGE PIPE MUST BE
UNOBSTRUCTED AND FULL SIZED.
The T/P valve is certified by a nationally recognized test lab that maintains
periodic inspections of the listed equipment and meets the requirements for
