Utility Models (See Figure 2)
All utility models are supplied with inlet and outlet nipples located in a plastic bag
attached to the water heater. The hot and cold water locations are identified on the
side of the water heater. Apply appropriate amount of thread sealant to the provided
nipples and install nipples into the side of the tank. For 20 gallon utility models, install
the supplied anode/nipple combination at the HOT outlet location. Connect the hot
and cold water lines to the nipples using unions. Install a listed temperature-pressure
relief valve in the opening on the side of the water heater. Install a vacuum relief anti-
siphon device in the cold water inlet line when using side cold water connection.
The 6 and 12 gallon models are equipped for installation with either side or top water
connections. They are shipped from the factory with the alternate top connections
plugged. The alternate top inlet is supplied with a dip tube. If the top water
connections are needed, remove pipe plugs from the alternate top connections, apply
appropriate amount of thread sealant to the provided nipples and install nipples in
desired top location. Apply appropriate amount of thread sealant to the pipe plugs and
install pipe plugs in the side locations. Install a vacuum relief anti-siphon device in the
cold water inlet line when using side cold water connection.
