GENERAL SAFETY

The “Eemax ProAdvantage” heater is specifically designed to take in hot or cold water and
heat it to temperatures suitable for normal domestic usage up to a maximum of 140 F(60 C).
To obtain optimum performance and energy savings, the unit should be located as

near as possible to the point of use. “Thermostatic” models indicated by the letters T2T after

the model number, these models and only these, can be fed with pre-heated water and be
used to boost temperature

When removing and re-installing the cover make sure to use the ground screw provided. There are a total of 5
screws that affix the cover to the unit. If you are missing any call technical support at 1-800-543-6163.

Also, ensure that the pipes are clear of installation debris before fitting the heater.

WARNING

HAZARD OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! BEFORE REMOVING THE COVER OR SERVICING THE
WATER HEATER, MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL SUPPLY TO THE WATER HEATER IS

TURNED “OFF”. FAILURE TO DO THIS COULD RESULT IN DEATH, SERIOUS BODILY INJURY,
OR PROPERTY DAMAGE. NOTE: UNIT HAS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.

I. MOUNTING THE UNIT

1) The unit should be mounted as close to the point of use as possible.

Do not install the heater above a faucet or “point of use” because the siphoning effect may

drain the heater which can cause premature element burn out. If the unit must be installed at
a higher elevation, you must install spring loaded check valves on both the inlet and outlet of
the water heater.

2) This unit must only be mounted in a vertical position with the water fittings positioned at

the bottom of the unit. Mounting other than in the vertical position will cause element burn

out and permanent damage to the water heater.

3) The cold water inlet is on the right hand side and the hot water outlet is on the left hand side

as marked by the fittings of the unit. Under NO circumstances can these be reversed.

4) Leave a minimum of 8” above the unit for easy replacement of the element.

5) The heater should be fixed to the wall using all four mounting holes of the backplate.

Use an appropriate fastener for the weight. For the unit to be mounted against hollow walls,
we suggest using steel wall anchors with the correct grip range, and #10-32 screws at a

minimum.

NOTE: The heater should be installed below the level of all hot water outlets serviced by this

heater. Otherwise install spring loaded check valves on both the inlet and outlet.

NOTE: PRESSURE AND TEMPERATURE RELIEF VALVE

These units are not required by UL to have a Pressure and Temperature Relief
Valve (PTRV). You should check with local codes to find out if one is required in your
area. If local codes require the use of a temperature and pressure relief valve it
should be installed on the outlet hot water pipe before the outlet ball valve.
