duration to one year from date of original installation.

WHAT IS THE PERIOD OF COVERAGE?
This limited warranty is effective 60 days from the date of

specified. All replacement tanks and parts carry the balance
of the original warranty, i.e. if an original five (5) year
warranted water heater develops a leak due to defects in
materials/workmanship after three (3) years, the
replacement unit is warranted for the balance remaining on
the original five (5) year warranty, or two (2) year in this
example.
