C..OUPLING Explosion Hazard Temperature-pressure relief valve must comply with ANSI Z21.22CSA 4.4 and ASME code. Properly sized temperature-relief valve must be installed in opening provided. Can result in overheating and excessive tank pressure. TEMPERATUREqF-----PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE Can cause serious injury or death. This heater is provided with a properly certified combination temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer. DRAIN _(D VALVE DISCHARGE PIPE O NOT CAP OR PLUG) FIGURE 16. FLOOR DRAIN DRAIN PAN T & P Valve and Pipe Insulation (if supplied) Remove insulation for T & P valve and pipe connections from carton. INSULATED INSULATED INLET I/ The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 ° CSA 4.4, and the code requirements of ASME. If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified as indicated in the above paragraph. The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of the water heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating plate. For safe operation of the water heater, the relief valve must not be removed from its designated opening nor plugged. The temperature-pressure relief valve must be installed directly into the fitting of the water heater designed for the relief valve. Position the valve downward and provide tubing so that any discharge will exit only within 6 inches (15.2 cm) above, or at any distance below the structural floor. Be certain that no contact is made with any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. Excessive length, over 30 feet (9.14 m), or use of more than four elbows can cause restriction and reduce the discharge capacity of the valve, see Figures 16 or 20. FIGURE 17. No valve or other obstruction is to be placed between the relief valve and the tank. Do not connect tubing directly to discharge drain unless a 6" (15.2 cm) air gap is provided. To prevent bodily injury, hazard to life, or property damage, the relief valve must be allowed to discharge water in quantities should circumstances demand. If the discharge pipe is not connected to a drain or other suitable means, the water flow may cause property damage. Fit pipe insulation over the incoming cold water line and the hot water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the top cover of the heater. Fit T & P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation does not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve. Secure all insulation using tape. Water Damage Hazard • Temperature-pressure relief valve discharge pipe must terminate at adequate drain. 14
