Installation Checklist
BEFORE LIGHTING THE PILOT:
1. Check the gas lines 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.

a leak. Turn “OFF” gas and make the necessary
repairs.

2. Is the new temperature-pressure relief valve prop-
erly installed and piped to an adequate drain? See
“Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve” section.

water heater correctly? See “Water Piping” instruc-
tions in the “Installing the New Water Heater”

4. Is the water heater completely filled with water?
See “Filling the Water Heater” instructions in the
“Installing the New Water Heater” section.
