REMOVE CRATE
1. Remove all banding and pry off crate sides carefully so as not to damage the water heater.
2. Carefully roll/lift the water heater from the crate base.
CAUTION
Do not drop water heater. Do not bump water heater jacket against floor.
Do not bump exhaust vent pipe against crate or other objects. This will damage the heater and cause it
to be inoperable or create nuisance problems.
MOVE WATER HEATER TO PERMANENT POSITION by sliding or walking. Place drain pan underneath water
heater
INSTALL TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (if not already installed).
WARNING
Temperature and pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped near floor to eliminate potential
of severe burns. Do not pipe in any area where freezing could occur. Do not install any shut-off
valves, plugs or caps to the temperature and pressure relief valve or piping.
CAUTION
If the building cold water supply has a back-flow preventer, check valve or water meter with check
valve, provisions for thermal expansion of water in the hot water system must be provided.
