INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Only properly trained and qualified installers should install this appliance. The warranty may be voided due to improper installation or installation by a non-qualified installer.

General Instructions

A WARNING
Do not use substitute materials. Use only parts certified with the appliance.
This appliance must be installed by a state qualified or
licensed contractor. It is the responsibility of the person
having the water heater installed to ensure the installing contractor has proper licenses and permits for installing water heaters in your location. It is highly recommended that installers attend a product knowledge class to ensure customer satisfaction and warranty coverage. Failure to comply with state and local codes pertaining to water
heater installations may void the warranty. This appliance is not to be installed indoors. A qualified installer or service technician should install the
appliance, inspect it, and leak test it before use. The installation must conform with local codes or, in the
absence of local codes, with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA54, or the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code, CSAB149.1. The appliance, when installed, must be electrically
grounded in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA70, or the Canadian Electrical Code, CSAC22.1. The appliance and its appliance main gas valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa) (13.84 in W.C.).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or greater than 1/2 psi (3.5 kPa)
(13.84 in W.C.). The appliance should be located in an area where
water leakage of the unit or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable metal drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The
pan must not restrict combustion air flow. The flow of combustion and ventilation air shall not be
obstructed. This appliance is not suitable for use in an application such
as a pool or spa heater that uses chemically treated water.
(This appliance is suitable for filling large or whirlpool bath tubs with potable water.)
It is highly recommended that all installers attend a product knowledge class.
• As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed system, the volume of water will grow. As the volume of water grows, 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 pressure
relief valve operation: water discharged from the valve due to excessive pressure build up. The 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. NOTE: Reference Figures 4-7 to see if your installation recommends the use of a thermal expansion tank.
• Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas control valve to the appliance.
• Keep the air intake location free of chemicals such as chlorine or bleach that produce fumes. These fumes can damage components and reduce the life of your appliance.

Electrical Connection

The water heater must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes or in the absence of local codes with the most recent edition of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada, all electrical wiring should be in accordance with local codes and the Canadian Electrical Code, CSAC22.1 Part 1. Do not rely on the gas or water piping to ground the water heater. A screw is provided in the junction box for the grounding connection.
The water heater requires 120 VAC, 60 Hz power from a properly grounded circuit.
A disconnect switch must be provided and installed for the incoming 120 VAC power. It should be a type that is suitable for outdoor use. Check the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 and your local codes for a proper switch type to use in your area. The wiring diagram is located on the Technical Sheet attached to the inside of the front cover.
-(II)-
1. Identify the installation location and confirm that the installation will meet all required clearances.
2. Securely attach the water heater to the wall using any of the holes in the wall installation brackets which are
at the top and bottom of the water heater. Ensure that the attachment strength is sufficient to support the weight. Refer to the weight of the water heater in the
Specifications section.

GAS SUPPLY

General Instructions

A manual gas control valve must be placed in the gas
supply line to the water heater. A union can be used on the connection above the shut off valve for the future
servicing or disconnection of the unit.
Check the type of gas and the gas inlet pressure before
connecting the water heater. If the water heater is not of the gas type that the building is supplied with, DO NOT
connect the water heater. Contact Sears for the proper
unit to match the gas type.
Check the gas supply pressure immediately upstream
at a location provided by the gas company. Supplied gas pressure must be within the limits shown in the
Specifications section.
Before placing the appliance in operation all joints
including the heater must be checked for gas tightness
by means of leak detector solution, soap and water, or
an equivalent nonflammable solution, as applicable.
(Since some leak test solutions, including soap and

water, may cause corrosion or stress cracking, the
piping shall be rinsed with water after testing, unless it has been determined that the leak test solution is non corrosive.)
Always use approved connectors to connect the unit to the gas line. Always purge the gas line of any debris
before connection to the water heater.
The gas supply line shall be gas tight, sized, and so
installed as to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet
the maximum demand of the heater and all other gas
consuming appliances at the location without loss of pressure.
Any compound used on the threaded joint of the gas
piping shall be a type which resists the action of liquefied petroleum gas (propane / LPG).
Refer to an approved pipe sizing chart if in doubt about
the size of the gas line.
