GEH50DFEJSR

GeoSpring™ Hybrid Electric Water Heater

DIMENSIONS AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION (IN INCHES)

LOC A L IN STALLATION REGUL ATIONS: This water heater must be
installed in accordance with these instructions, local codes, utility codes,
utility company requirements or, in the absence of local codes, the latest
edition of the National Electrical Code. It is available from some local
libraries or can be purchased from the National Fire Prevention Association,
Batterymarch park, Quincy, MA 02169 as booklet ANSI/NFPA 70.

INSTALLATION I N FORMATI O N : For complete information, see installation
instructions packed with your water heater.

POWER REQUIREMENTS: Check the markings on the rating plate of the
water heater to be certain the power supply corresponds to the water heater
requirements.

LOC ATION : Locate the water heater in a clean dry area as near as practical
to the area of greatest heated water demand. Long uninsulated hot water lines
can waste energy and water.

NOTE: Because this unit draws in air from the room to heat the water, the
room must be at least 10' x 10' x 7' (700 cubic feet) or larger. If the room is
smaller, there must be a louvered door. Louvers should be 240 square inches
(0.15m2) or greater. If two louvers are used, one should be near the top of
the door. Place the water heater in such a manner that the air filter, cover
and front panels can be removed to permit inspection and servicing, such
as removal of elements or cleaning of the filter. The water heater and water
lines should be protected from freezing temperatures and high-corrosive
atmospheres. Do not install the water heater in outdoor, unprotected areas.

7" on each side. Clearance is needed to
allow for removal of the front and back
covers in the event service is needed.

TOP FILTER REMOVAL
CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS:

A minimum 6" clearance is required at
the top of the water heater to pull the

WATER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS: Refer to the illustration below
for suggested typical installation. The installation of unions or
flexible copper connectors is recommended on the hot and cold water
connections so that the water heater may be easily disconnected for
servicing if necessary. The HOT and COLD water connections are clearly
marked and are 3/4" NPT on all models.

NOTE: Install a shut-off valve in the cold water line near the water
heater. This will enable easier service or maintenance of the unit later.

IMPORTANT: Do not apply heat to the HOT or COLD water
connections. If sweat connections are used, sweat tubing to adapter
before fitting the adapter to the cold water connections on heater.
Any heat applied to the hot or cold water connection will permanently
damage the dip tube.
