Important: The water heater should be located in an area where leakage of the tank or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the water heater or to lower floors of the structure. Due to the normal corrosive action of the water, the tank will eventually leak after an extended period of time.

Also any external plumbing leak, including those from improper installation, may cause early failure of the water tank due to corrosion if not repaired.

A qualified service technician should be contacted for repairs.

A suitable metal drain pan should be installed under the water heater as shown below, to help protect the property from damage which may occur from condensate formation or leaks in the piping connections or tank. The pan must limit the water level to a maximum depth of 1-3/4” (4.45 cm) and be at least two inches (5 cm) wider than the heater and piped to an adequate drain. Locate the water heater near a suitable indoor drain. Outside drains are subject to freezing temperatures which can obstruct the drain line. The piping should be at least 3/4” (1.91 cm) ID and pitched for proper drainage. Under no circumstances will the manufacturer or seller of this water heater be held liable for any water damage which is caused by your failure to follow these instructions.

This water heater is not certified for installation in mobile homes.

Site Location

• Select a location near the center of the water piping system. The water heater must be installed indoors and in a vertical position on a level surface. DO NOT install in bathrooms, bedrooms, or any occupied room normally kept closed. Note: The water heater may be installed in a closet with a door off a bedroom or bathroom providing the units are installed and vented per the manufacturer’s instructions.

• Consider the inlet and exhaust vent system piping when selecting the water heater location. The venting system must be able to run from the water heater to

CONDENSATE LINE

Important: Do not run the condensate drain in areas that are likely to freeze. Frozen condensate will block the drain line and result in property damage or water heater malfunction.

Condensate Trap Assembly

A condensate trap/drain stem assembly has been supplied with the water heater and is located behind the access door inside the base of the water heater. This assembly must be installed between the water heater and the exhaust outlet piping to ensure proper operation of the water heater. To install, remove the slip-joint nut, stainless steel washer, and

O-ring from the trap assembly. Slip the nut, washer and

O-ring (in that order) over the stainless exhaust tubing and slide them back near the base of the heater. Insert the trap assembly over the tubing (see figure 3A accordingly) and firmly hand-tighten (using a wrench will cause the O-ring to seal improperly) the nut to form a water-tight seal between the O-ring and the stainless exhaust tubing. When tightened, the nut to heater base clearance should be 3/4”

(+/- 1/8”) tolerance (1.9 cm +/- 0.31 cm tolerance).

Note: The trap should be aligned so that the exhaust pipe is in a vertical position close to the surface of the water heater.

Condensate Drain Line

All parts of the condensate trap are glued except for the

1/2” CPVC drain stem joint at the elbow (see figure 3A).

This assembly can be turned with the outlet of the tee oriented as needed.

Once orientation direction is decided, remove the unglued joint from the elbow at the bottom and apply a suitable cement to joint. Re-insert the joint fully and quickly into the elbow making sure to orient it before the cement sets.

Connect the remaining piping and run the condensate drain line to a suitable drain.

Important: Be sure the drain stem joint is inserted against the stop in the elbow. Failure to do so may result in improper water heater operation.

If required by local codes, install a condensate neutralizer cartridge on the drain line (see figure 3B).

The condensate drain line must be routed to a suitable drain. If no floor drain is available or the drain is above the level of the condensate line, install a condensate pump that is resistant to the acidic condensate. These pumps are available from local distributors. If the pump is not resistant to acidic water, a condensate neutralizer must be used ahead of the pump.

When installing the drain line, note the following:

• Plastic pipe or tubing must be used to connect the condensate drain to a suitable drain or condensate pump. Do not use copper tubing, iron, or steel pipe for the condensate drain line.

• Condensate drain lines should be installed in conditioned areas only. Drain lines installed in areas that are subject to freezing temperatures should be wrapped with a nationally recognized/listed heat tape and/or approved insulation for freeze protection. Install per manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not common drain with the temperature and pressure relief valve or the condensate line from an air conditioner evaporator coil.

• Slope the condensate drain toward the inside floor drain or condensate pump.

• The condensate drain line and connection to the drain piping must comply with all local codes.

• Do not run the condensate line into the metal drain pan.

Carbon Monoxide Hazard

Follow all instructions to locate and install the vent pipe system.

Instructions can be found in this manual, in state or local codes (or the authority having jurisdiction), or in the absence of such, the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, NFPA

54, Current Edition. Canadian installations must be performed in accordance with

CAN/CSA-B149.1, Current Edition.

Failure to properly locate and install the vent pipe system can result in death or carbon monoxide poisoning.

Venting

This water heater has a direct vent system in which all air for combustion is taken from the outside atmosphere and all combustion products are discharged to the outdoors.

This water heater must be properly vented for removal of exhaust gases to the outside atmosphere. Correct installation of the vent pipe system is mandatory for the safe and efficient operation of this water heater and is an important factor in the life of the unit.

Vent pipe installation must be performed in accordance with state and local codes, or in the absence of such, the

Vent Pipe Installation

The following guidelines should be followed when installing the air inlet and exhaust outlet piping:

• Venting should be as direct as possible with a minimum number of pipe fittings.

• Vent diameter must not be reduced unless specifically noted in the installation instructions.

• All 2” horizontal vent piping must be sloped upward

1/4 inch per foot (21 mm per meter); (3” Piping must slope upward at 1/8” per foot) (10.5 mm per meter).

This will allow condensate to run back to the heater and exit through the condensate trap.

• Support all horizontal pipe runs every four feet (1.2 m) and all vertical pipe runs every six feet (1.8 m) or according to local codes.

• Vents run through unconditioned spaces where below freezing temperatures are expected should be insulated to prevent freezing. Wrap the vent pipe with approved insulation for freeze protection. Install per the manufacturer’s instructions.

• An air intake filter is included with the unit and must be installed according to the installation instructions supplied with the filter.

The combustion air inlet and exhaust outlet piping and termination may be installed in one of the following type terminations:

1. Standard Horizontal (2 Pipe)

2. Alternate Horizontal (2 Pipe)

3. Vertical (2 Pipe)

4. Concentric Vent - Through the Wall

5. Concentric Vent - Through the Roof

All pipe, fittings, pipe cement, primers and procedures must conform to American National Standard Institute and

American Society for Testing and Materials (ANSI/ASTM) standards in the United States. This water heater has been design certified by the Canadian Standards Association for use with the specified (CSA) listed plastic vent pipe.

All joints in the inlet and outlet piping must be properly cemented. Size and cut all piping before cementing.

1. Cut the pipe end square and remove all ragged edges and burrs. Make sure the inside of the pipe is clean and free of cuttings and loose dirt. Chamfer the end and apply primer to the fitting and pipe.

2. Using a suitable grade of pipe cement, apply a moderate, even coat inside the fitting. Apply a liberal amount of cement to the outside of the pipe to socket depth.

Note: It is important to select the proper pipe cement for the type of plastic pipe being used.

3. Assemble the parts quickly while the cement is still wet. Twist the pipe 1/4 turn during insertion and hold for 30 seconds.

Vent Pipe Length

Size the exhaust outlet and combustion air inlet pipes as specified in Table 1. This table lists the maximum allowable length in feet of the exhaust outlet and combustion air inlet pipes as related to the number of required elbows and the termination. The specified maximum lengths are for the separate inlet and exhaust pipe systems and not the combined length of both systems. Minimum pipe length is

6 feet (1.8 m) with one elbow per side.

INLET/OUTLET VENT TERMINATIONS

Standard Horizontal Termination Alternative Horizontal Termination

When 3 inch pipe is used between the water heater and the outside wall, reduce it to 2 inch pipe before penetrating the wall. A maximum of 18 inches (45.7 cm) of 2 inch pipe may be used between the 3 inch transition and the inside of the wall (see figure 7).

The standard horizontal air inlet termination is a 2 inch pipe which terminates at the exterior wall and utilizes a coupling to prevent the pipe from being pushed back into the structure. The standard horizontal exhaust outlet termination is a 2 inch pipe which terminates 12 inches (30.5 cm) from the outside wall. The air inlet must be located with respect to the exhaust outlet as shown in figure 7 (bottom).

Install a drain tee assembly and trap in the inlet vent as close to the water heater as possible. This is to drain any water that may be in the combustion air pipe and prevent it from entering the blower. Connect the trap drain line to a suitable drain or downstream of the condensate trap of the water heater.

Note: See “Venting Additional Polaris for correct terminations if installing more than one Polaris gas water heater.

® Units” on Page 11

Gas Input Rate

The gas input rate of this water heater is affected by several environmental factors such as:

• The heating value of the gas

• The air and gas densities (which vary widely due to barometric pressure and temperature changes)

• Venting installations (pipe diameter, length and fittings)

• Altitude

When measuring the input rate these factors should be incorporated into the calculations. Also measure the gas consumption over a sufficiently long time to obtain an accurate gas consumption rate (e.g. 3-5 minutes, not one revolution of the meter needle).

Long vents and each additional elbow, inherently reduce the gas input rate due to increased resistance to moving combustion air and flue gases. The approximate maximum/ minimum input for the 100k, 130k, and 150k models is shown in figure 14.

WATER PIPING SYSTEM

Piping Installation

Piping, fittings, and valves should be installed according to the installation drawing (figure 15). If the indoor installation area is subject to freezing temperatures, the water piping must be protected by insulation.

The water supply pressure should not exceed 80 psi

(551.5 kPa). If this occurs, a pressure reducing valve with a bypass should be installed in the cold water inlet line. This should be placed on the supply to the entire house in order to maintain equal hot and cold water pressures.

Important: Heat cannot be applied to the water fittings on the heater as they may contain nonmetallic parts.

If solder connections are used, solder the pipe to the adapter before attaching the adapter to the hot and cold water fittings.

Important: Do not install this water heater with iron or galvanized piping. Use brass caps on all unused inlet/ outlet connections.

1. Install the water piping and fittings as shown in figure

15. Note: If state or local codes require, install a vacuum relief valve per the manufactures instructions in the cold water supply line. Connect the cold water supply

(use 1” NPT) to the fitting marked “COLD INLET”.

Do not turn the cold water nipple. The mark should remain along the top side of the nipple. Connect the hot water supply (use 1” NPT) to the fitting marked

“HOT OUTLET”.

2. Always use a suitable grade of joint compound and be certain that all fittings are tightened properly.

3. The installation of unions in both the hot and cold water supply lines is recommended for ease of removing the water heater for service or replacement.

4. If installing the water heater in a closed water system, install an expansion tank in the cold water line as specified under “Closed System/Thermal Expansion” (Page

14).

5. Install a shut-off valve in the cold water inlet line. It should be located close to the water heater and be easily accessible. Know the location of this valve and how to shut off the water to the heater.

Figure 14: Input Graph

6. The

®

gas water heater is shipped with a factoryinstalled Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve.

Install a discharge line in the opening in the T & P valve

(see instructions on Page 16).

7. After piping has been properly connected to the water heater, remove the aerator at the nearest hot water faucet. Open the hot water faucet and allow the tank to completely fill with water. (To prevent damage to the unit, DO NOT connect power until the tank is

COMPLETELY FILLED).

To purge the lines of any excess air, keep the hot water faucet open for 3 minutes after a constant flow of water is obtained. Close the faucet and check all connections for leaks.

Corrosion and Water Quality

Water quality will vary from location to location and may contain contaminates that may reduce the life or performance of the water heater. To test for contaminates a water quality test kit is available, reference part number

6903791.

Contaminates which can reduce the life or performance of the water heater if present in high quantities include those which contribute to hardness (dissolved minerals such as sodium, calcium and magnesium); plus chlorides and sulfates. Additionally, water that is too acidic or basic

(measured as pH) can reduce the life of the water heater.

Water treatment systems (such as water softeners for hardness) should be used and maintained properly if the contaminate levels exceed the following:

Warranty is void in applications which exceed the water quality requirements listed below.

General Information

Water piping, fittings, and valves must be properly installed for the correct and safe operation of this water heater.

Please note the following:

• The system should be installed only with piping that is suitable for potable (drinking) water such as copper,

CPVC, PEX or polybutylene. PVC water piping may be used on the cold water inlet supply but not within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of the cold water connection on the water heater.

• Do not use PVC piping on the hot water outlet, space heating supply, or space heating return.

• Do not use any pumps, valves, or fittings that are not compatible with potable water.

• Do not use valves that may cause excessive restriction to water flow. Use full flow ball or gate valves only.

• Do not use 50/50 tin-lead solder (or any lead based solder) in potable water lines. Use 95/5 solder or other equivalent material.

• Do not tamper with the thermostat, gas valve, blower, electrical components, or temperature and pressure relief valve. Tampering with any of the components is dangerous and can result in death, severe injury, or property damage. Tampering voids all warranties. Only qualified technicians should service these components.

• Do not use this water heater as a replacement for an existing boiler installation.

• Do not use with piping that has been treated with chromates, boiler seal, or other chemicals.

• Do not add any chemicals to the system piping which will contaminate the potable water supply.

Closed System/Thermal Expansion

As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed system, the volume of water will increase. As the volume of water increases, there will be a corresponding increase in water pressure due to thermal expansion.

Thermal expansion can cause premature tank failure (leakage). This type of failure is not covered under the limited warranty. Thermal expansion can also cause intermittent temperature-pressure relief valve operation; water discharged from the valve due to excessive pressure build up.

The temperature-pressure relief valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion. This condition is not covered under the limited warranty.

A properly-sized thermal expansion tank should be installed on all closed systems to control the harmful effects of thermal expansion. Contact a plumbing service agency or your retail supplier regarding the installation of a thermal expansion tank. The manufacturer of this water heater will void the warranty if there is a failure to install a properly sized expansion tank.

Combination Space Heating/Potable

Water System

Some water heater models are equipped with inlet/ outlet connections for use in space heating applications.

Note: this water heater, “Suitable for combination water

(potable) heating and space heating and not suitable for space heating applications only.” If this water heater is to be used to supply both space heating and potable (drinking) water, the instructions listed below must be followed (see figure 17).

• Be sure to follow the manual(s) shipped with the air handler or other type heating system.

• This water heater is not to be used as a replacement for an existing boiler installation.

Adequate Drain

• Do not use with piping that has been treated with chromates, boiler seal or other chemicals and do not add any chemicals to the water heater piping.

• If the space heating system requires water temperatures in excess of 120°F (48.9°C), a mixing valve (provided) must be installed per the manufacturer’s instructions in the potable hot water supply to limit the risk of scald injury.

• Pumps, valves, piping and fittings must be compatible with potable water.

• A properly installed flow control valve is required to prevent thermosiphoning. Thermosiphoning is the result of a continuous flow of water through the air handler circuit during the off cycle. Weeping (blow off) of the temperature and pressure relief valve (T & P) or higher than normal water temperatures are the first signs of thermosiphoning.

• The hot water line from the water heater should be vertical past any mixing valve or supply line to the heating system to remove air bubbles from the system.

• Do not connect the water heater to any system or components previously used with non-potable water heating appliances when used to supply potable water.

Storage Tank Installation

When installing the Polaris® with a storage tank, see figure

18 for piping suggestions.

Solar Installation

If this water heater is used as a solar storage heater or as a backup for the solar system, the water supply temperatures to the water heater tank may be in excess of 120°F

(48.9°C). A mixing valve must be installed in the water supply line to limit the supply temperature to 120°F (48.9°C).

Note: Solar water heating systems can often supply water with temperatures exceeding 180°F (82.2°C) and may result in water heater malfunction.

15

Notes on Figure 18:

If tank temperature is set above

120°F (48.9°C) and water is supplied for domestic use (hand washing, showering, etc.) a mixing valve must be installed in the hot water line to domestic fixtures.

Installation must conform to local code requirements. If a check valve is installed in the cold water supply line, an expansion tank must be installed between the check valve and the water heater’s cold water inlet. Set storage tank temperature five degrees lower than the water heater’s temperature setting. Using the plug valve in the recirculating line, adjust the flow in the recirculating line to five gallons per minute.

OPERATING YOUR WATER HEATER

Read and understand these directions thoroughly before attempting to operate the water heater (see Operating

Instructions on Page 23). Check the data plate on the front of the water heater for the correct gas. Do not use this water heater with any gas other than the one listed on the data plate. If you have any questions or doubts, consult your gas supplier or gas utility company.

L.P. (Propane) Models

Propane gas is heavier than air and in the occurrence of a leak in the system, the gas will settle on the floor level.

Basements, crawl spaces, skirted areas under mobile homes (even when ventilated), closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for the accumulation of gas. Before lighting a propane gas water heater, smell all around the appliance at floor level. If you smell gas, follow the instructions as given in the warning on the front page.

When the thermostat calls for heat, the blower will run for

6 seconds to purge the system of any accumulated gas or air. The hot surface igniter will heat up for 35 seconds. The blower will turn on and the gas valve open, forcing the air and gas mixture across the hot surface igniter, causing the burner to light. The hot surface igniter will turn off and act as an electronic flame sensor to determine if burner ignition has been accomplished. If it detects any loss of flame, it will shut off the gas supply to the burner.

The ignition control will try to light the burner three times.

If the ignition control does not detect a flame after three tries, it will temporarily lock out, but then auto restart and go through three additional tries for ignition after 60 minutes.

It will repeat until ignition occurs or the system locks out requiring service. Refer to Troubleshooting Guide on Page 26.

When your propane tank runs out of fuel, turn off the gas at all gas appliances including pilot lights. After the tank is refilled, all appliances must be re-lit according to their manufacturer’s instructions.

Water Heater Operation

This water heater does not have a pilot light. It is equipped with an electronic ignition that automatically lights the burner. There are three lights to indicate the various stages of operation; Green = Electrical power is on, Yellow =

Thermostat is calling for heat, which signals the beginning of the ignition sequence (see figure 21), and Red = Ignition control is signaling the gas valve to open.

Figure 21: Sequence of Operation

Thermostat Sensor

The sensor is a 10K ohm [at 77°F (25°C)] thermistor. Read resistance through the black wires that run to the sensor.

Remove wires from circuit board before checking. An open or short circuit indicates sensor failure. Check reading against the values listed in Table 3. The resistance should correspond with the temperature in the tank:

Stacking

Stacking occurs when a series of short draws of hot water

(3 gallons [11.3 liters] or less) are taken from the water heater tank. This causes increased cycling of the burner and can result in increased water temperatures at the hot water outlet. A mixing valve must be installed in the hot water supply line to reduce the risk of scald injury.

Water Temperature Regulation

Water temperature over 125°F (51.6°C) can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.

Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.

See instruction manual before setting temperature at water heater.

Feel water before bathing or showering.

Temperature limiting valves are available.

The thermostat is adjusted to its lowest temperature setting when it is shipped from the factory. Water temperature can be regulated by moving the temperature dial to the preferred setting. The preferred starting point is 130°F

(54.4°C); however, in some instances, setting the water heater higher than 130°F (54.4°C) can reduce the occurrence of igniter failure due to excessive condensate.

Important: A mixing valve (provided) must be installed in the hot water outlet to reduce the risk of scald injury when setting the thermostat in excess of 120°F (48.9°C).

Many home heating systems used with this water heater are designed for temperatures higher than 130°F (54.4°C). Refer to the manufacturer’s instruction manuals supplied with this type of equipment for recommended temperature settings.

Emergency Shut Down

Important: If overheating occurs or the gas supply fails to shut off, close the manual gas supply valve. Turn off the electrical supply to the unit and close the cold water supply valve. Do not operate the water heater again until it has been thoroughly checked by an authorized service technician.

23

OPERATIONAL CONDITIONS

Water Heater Sounds

During the normal operation of the water heater, sounds or noises may be heard. These noises are common and may result from the following:

1. Normal expansion and contraction of metal parts during periods of heat-up and cool-down.

2. Sediment buildup in the tank bottom will create varying amounts of noise and may cause premature tank failure. Drain and flush the tank as directed under “Draining and Flushing”.

Safety Shut-Off (Pressure Switch)

Figure 23: Drain Valve Access

This water heater is equipped with a pressure switch that protects the unit by shutting it down in the event that:

• A blockage occurs in the combustion air inlet, the flue gas exhaust outlet, or both the inlet and outlet.

• The condensate line freezes and the condensate

“backs up” and fills the exhaust outlet.

• The blower fails to operate, or operates improperly.

• The unit begins to operate at an abnormally low input level.

Energy Cut-Off (ECO)

A high temperature limit switch, or ECO, is used to shut down the water heater if the water temperature exceeds

203°F (95°C). The ECO will automatically reset when the temperature cools sufficiently. If the ECO shuts down the heater repetitively, contact a qualified professional for service.

MAINTENANCE

Draining and Flushing

It is recommended that the tank be drained and flushed every 6 months to remove sediment which may buildup during operation. The water heater should be drained if being shut down during freezing temperatures.

To drain the tank, perform the following steps:

1. Turn off the gas supply at the Manual Gas Shut-off

Valve. Turn off the electrical supply to the water

heater.

2. Open a nearby hot water faucet and run until the water is no longer hot.

3. Close the cold water inlet valve.

4. Open the left-hand access panel at the bottom of the heater (see figure 23). Connect a hose to the drain valve and terminate it to an adequate drain or external to the building.

5. Open the water heater drain valve and allow all of the water to drain from the tank.

6. Flush tank to remove sediment.

7. Close the drain valve, replace access door, refill the tank , and restart the heater as directed under

“Operating Your Water Heater”.

Drain Valve

Access Door

IMPORTANT: Condensation may occur when refilling the tank and should not be confused with a tank leak.

Temperature and Pressure

Relief Valve

Manually operate the temperature and pressure relief valve at least once a year to make sure it is working properly. To prevent water damage, the valve must be properly connected to a discharge line which

Figure 24

terminates at an adequate drain. Standing clear of the outlet (discharged water may be hot), slowly lift and release the lever handle on the temperature and pressure relief valve to allow the valve to operate freely and return to its closed position (see figure

24). If the valve fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately shut off the manual gas valve and the cold water inlet valve, and call a qualified service technician.

24

MAINTENANCE OF YOUR WATER HEATER

3 Month Inspection

At least every 3 months, a visual inspection should be made of the combustion air inlet as well as the exhaust and water piping. Check the water heater for the following:

• Obstructions, damage, or deterioration in the venting system. Make sure the exhaust and combustion air supplies are not obstructed.

• Leaking or damaged water and gas piping.

• Presence of flammable or corrosive materials in the installation area.

• Presence of combustible materials near the water heater.

Important: Verify proper operation after servicing this water heater.

Gas Valve

The gas valve on this water heater has been permanently set at the factory for proper operation. No field adjustments are needed and none should be performed.

Removing the Gas Valve

Replacing the Gas Valve

Important : The rubber gasket that seals the gas valve to the venturi manifold must be used (previous gaskets may be reused, if in good condition). Make sure the gasket is properly inserted into the recess on the gas valve prior to installation (see figure 25 for exact placement of the rubber gasket).

1. Remove the O-ring from the flange (removed from the old gas valve) and replace it with the one provided in the gas valve kit (model VK8115V, part number

6903775.)

2. Reattach the elbow flange to the gas valve. Tighten all four screws securely.

3. Place the three T-25 Torx screws through the proper holes in the venturi manifold flange. See figure 25.

4. Properly install a new rubber gasket (provided) as shown in figure 25.

5. Position the gas valve and start all three screws

(projecting downward from the venturi manifold) into the gas valve. A T-25 Torx wrench has been provided in the gas valve replacement kit (model VK8115V, part number 6903775.)

Note: All three T-25 Torx screws must be properly tightened to secure the seal between the gas valve and the venturi manifold.

Removal and replacement of the gas regulator valve involves the disconnection of gas piping and electrical leads. This procedure must be performed by a qualified service technician.

Important: When removing the gas valve, do not use a pipe wrench or vise to grip the body. Do not apply any force to the gas valve or the cast flange fitting on the inlet side of the gas valve (see figure 25.) Such force may break or crack these components.

1. Turn temperature dial counterclockwise to the lowest setting and turn off electrical power to appliance.

2. Shut off the gas at the manual shut-off valve on the gas supply line. See figure 19 for reference. Remove the access door.

3. Disconnect the gas piping connection just outside the base of the water heater . Note: Use a second pipe wrench on the gas piping inside the skirt to avoid cracking the gas valve or the flange fitting.

4. Remove the pressure tap from the gas valve (see figure 25). The hose should not be disconnected.

5. Remove the Phillips head screw holding the electrical plug and remove electrical plug from the gas valve.

6. Remove the three T-25 Torx head brass screws that attach the gas valve to the venturi manifold, using the T-25 Torx wrench supplied with the gas valve kit

(model VK8115V, part number 6903775.)

7. Remove the gas valve from the unit keeping the rubber gasket with the gas valve .

8. Remove the flange from the gas inlet side of the valve by removing the four (4) attachment screws.

6. Reconnect the pressure tap to the port on the new gas valve (see figure 25).

7. Reconnect the external gas supply line to the gas piping on the gas valve. Be sure to use approved Teflon tape or pipe joint compound suitable for gas piping.

Note: Use a second pipe wrench on the gas piping inside the skirt to avoid cracking the gas valve or the cast fitting.

8. Reconnect the electrical plug to the gas valve and secure it with the screw provided.

9. Turn gas supply on and check for leaks. Use a chloride-free soap and water solution (bubbles forming indicate a leak) or other approved method. All leaks must be fixed immediately.

10. Be sure tank is completely filled with water before restoring power to the water heater. Follow operating instructions on Page 23.

11. Ensure proper operation of the water heater, then reinstall the access door.
