DANGER To prevent personal injury
OVER THIGHTENING ANY OF THE VALVES OR UNION FITTINGS CAN CAUSE CRACKING AND/OR OTHER DAMAGE TO THE PRODUCT. AS A RESULT, HOT WATER COULD SPRAY OUT AND CAUSE SEVERE BURN OR SCALDING RESULTING IN PERMANENT INJURY OR DEATH.
ATTENTION: It was not designed for installations exposed to subfreezing conditions; please keep this in mind when choosing a location to install your tankless water heater. Drain valves should remain closed during normal operation. Do not rely on the drain cap to stop the water from draining. When draining, always remove drain caps slowly to insure that no pressure exists.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Identify the appropriate location and orientation for each valve.2. Install the PRV(pressure relief valve) to the HOT WATER VALVE
– DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN –a. Apply thread sealant or 5 wraps of PTFE thread tape to the exposed threads.b. Hand tighten the PRV to the 3/4″ port on the slide of the HOT WATER VALVEc. With a wrench, tighten the PRV until the discharge port is positioned downward.d. Do not tight more than 2 turns pass hand tight.
NOTE: Install PRV per local codes and ANSI Z21.22.
4. Wrap the HOT water outlet with at least 5 wraps of PTFE thread tape, then connect union fitting with the HOT water outlet. You don’t need to remove the union nut, then tighten the union nut with the lower part of HOT water valve.5. Align the direction of the HOT water drain to the desired position.6. Tighten the union assembly to the HOT water valve using approximately 15 foot lbs of torque.7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the COLD water valve. (BLUE drain handle) for connection to the COLD water inlet on the tankless water heater.8. Connect the INLET on the COLD water valve to the MAIN SOURCE of the water supply.9. Connect the OUTLET on the HOT water valve to the HOT WATER plumbing system.10. Ensure that both drain valve lever handles are in the closed position (perpendicular to the drain portion of the body).
START UP PROCEDURES
- Close the HOT and COLD valve handles.
- Ensure the DRAIN CAPS are hand tight.

PRESSSURE RELIEF VALVE (PRV)
Installation Instructions
The PRV must be connected by the threaded connection opposite the wing handle on the hot water valve (designated by the RED drain handle) or the threaded connection on the side of the relocation fitting above the hot water valve. Installation must maintain a 3/4″ port size with no shut off valve or line restriction in-between the appliance and the PRV. The discharge line from the PRV should pitch downward and terminate 6″ above drains where discharge will be clearly visible. The discharge end of the line shall be plain (unthreaded) and a minimum of 3/4″ in diameter. The discharge line material must be suitable for water at least 180° Fahrenheit.. The discharge line shall be as short and straight as possible such that the arrangement does not reduce the relieving capacity of the pressure relief valve. No valve of any type may be installed in the discharge line of the pressure relief valve.
PRV Maintenance Instructions
For proper care of this approved pressure relief valve, it is recommended that the valve is manually operated once a year. In doing so, it will be necessary to take precautions with regard to the discharge of potentially scalding hot water under pressure. Ensure discharge has a place to flow. Contact with your body or other property may cause damage or harm.Please note that only the PRV in this package is certified by CSA International as an approved item.
