2- SELECTING A LOCATION TO INSTALL
This product is designed to be installed indoors only. You may be able to install your unit in an outdoor location as long as it is mounted in a suitable enclosure that protects it from rain, splashed water, direct sunlight, debris, and insects. This product should NOT be installed in a location where it may be subject to freezing temperatures. If the water inside your tankless water heater freezes, it can cause severe and permanent damage that is not covered under your warranty. If you suspect that your ta nkless water heater may have frozen, do not turn on the heater until it has thawed and you have inspected the system for leaks. We highly recommend that you contact us if you suspect that your tankless water heater may have been frozen with water inside it.
When selecting an installation location, give consideration to your existing plumbing configuration, location of your main electrical panel, and location of your bathrooms, kitchen, and laundry area. Try to choose a location that does not require you to make major plumbing alterations, that is close to your main electrical panel (this will reduce the amount of wire that you need to install), and that is physically close to the hot water applications (faucets) that you use most often. By locating the heater close to the points-of-use, you will reduce the amount of time it takes for the hot water to travel from the water heater to your faucet. You should also give consideration to future servicing. Do NOT locate the water heater in a location that is difficult to access. In most cases, installing your tankless water heater in the same location as your old conventional tank -type water heater will make the most sense.
Regardless of your installation location, your water heater should be installed in a manner that will NOT allow combustible materials to come in contact with the water heater or outlet water pipe. Combustible materials should be kept at least 24 inches away from your water heater and the output hot water pipe. Make sure that the water heater, outlet hot water pipe are out of the reach of children so they cannot tamper with the temperature controls or injure themselves by touching the hot water outlet pipe. The outlet water pipe can get very hot.
This product does NOT require venting.
You should avoid installing your tankless water heater in a location prone to excessive humidity, moisture, or dust, or in an area where it may be splashed with water or other liquids. Do NOT install under water pipes or air conditioning lines that might leak or condense moisture that could then drip onto the heater. Do NOT install above electrical boxes or junctions.
If you plan to install your water heater on a second floor or in a heated attic space, make sure that you follow all code requirements for such installations as required for your area. We recommend that you install a drip pan (connected to a safe drain) below the water heater to avoid property damage in the unlikely event of a leak. Alternatively, you can install an active water leak detector and shutoff valve designed to turn off your water supply in the event that a leak is ever detected.
3- MOUNTING YOUR WATER HEATER
Your Tankless Water Heater should be secured to the mounting surface with 4 screws (minimum 1 inch long) using the built-in mounting brackets on each side of the heater. Make sure that the mounting surface is solid and secure, and ensure that the unit is level prior to securing the screws. For ease of installation and servicing, we recommend that this product be installed in an upright position with the inlet and outlet water connections at the bottom of the unit.
Recommended Clearances:
CAUTION: Combustible materials should be kept at least 24 inches away from your water heater and the outlet hot water pipe.

4- PLUMBING INSTALLATION
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY AND COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLATION AND BEFORE USE. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH, AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
Please follow all plumbing instructions carefully. We recommend that this product be installed by a licensed and qualified plumber in accordance with all applicable national, state, provincial, and local plumbing codes.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
1.DO NOT SOLDER ANY PIPES WITH UNIT CONNECTED TO PIPES - IF YOU DO, YOU MAY DAMAGE THE FLOW SENSOR AND VOID THE WARRANTY. WE RECOMMEND USE OF WATER HEATER FLEX HOSES FOR EASE OF INSTALLATION
2.The Eemax Tankless Water Heater is equipped with both computer-controlled and electro-mechanical autoresetting thermostat switches for high-limited temperature protection. Since this product does not use a storage tank, the use of a temperature pressure relief valve (T&P) is not required for most installations. UL Standard 499 does NOT require that a pressure relief valve be used. However, a T&P valve may be required to meet installation codes in your area. If one is required, install the pressure relief valve in accordance with your code and ensure that it operates correctly and that air is purged from the valve prior to installing your water heater. When connecting to Flex or High Temperature CPVC pipe, we recommend that a T&P valve be used for added safety. If a pressure relief valve is used, it should be connected to a drain.
Please note: Installations in the Commonwealths of Massachusetts and State of Kentucky require a pressure relief valve.
3.The maximum recommended operating water pressure is 150 PSI. If your water pressure is higher than this, we recommend that a pressure reduction valve be installed on your main incoming water supply line prior to installing your tankless water heater.
4.Flexible water heater hoses can and are recommended to be used with your water heater as part of the installation. WHEN CONNECTING THE INLET WATER TO THE UNIT MAKE SURE YOU USE A WRENCH TO HOLD THE UNITS CONNECTION AND ANOTHER WRENCH TO TIGHTHEN SO THE FLOW SENSOR ON THE UNIT IS NOT LOOSENED OR DAMAGED. Serious internal damage to your water heater can occur if you over-tighten the water heater inlet connections at the unit or if you solder any pipe to the inlet and outlet connections. Such damage is NOT covered under the warranty.
5.We recommend that all water pipe within 3 feet of the inlet and outlet hoses be copper although other forms of plastic tubing are acceptable as long as they are rated for high temperature applications.
