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.
