Water Piping
Water temperature over 125°F
(52°C) can cause severe burns
instantly resulting in severe injury
or death.
Children, the elderly, and the
physically or mentally disabled
are at highest riskfor scald injury•
Feel water before bathing or
showering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available•
Read instruction manual for safe
temperature setting.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heaters are intended to
produce hot water• Water heated to a temperature which will
satisfy clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs
can scald and permanently injure you upon contact• Some people
are more likely to be permanently injured by hot water than others•
These include the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/
mentally handicapped• If anyone using hot water in your home
fits into one of these groups or if there is a local code or state
law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot water tap,
then you must take special precautions• In addition to using the
lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water
needs, a means such as a mixing valve, should be used at the
hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater•
Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware
stores• Follow manufacturers instructions for installation of the
valves• Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat,
read the "Temperature Regulation" section in this manual•
See Figure 8 for mixing valve usage•
Figure 9 shows the attachment of the water piping to the water
heater• The water heater is equipped with 3/4" water connections•

FIGURE 8.
If a water heater is installed in a closed water supply system;
such as one having a back-flow preventer, check valve, water
meter with a check valve, etc.., in the cold water supply; means
must be provided to control thermal expansion• Contact the local
utility or Sears Service Center on how to control this situation•
NOTE: If using copper tubing, solder tubing to an adapter
before attaching the adapter to the water inlet connection.
Do not solder the water supply lines directly to the cold
water inlet. It will harm the dip tube and damage the tank.
Property Damage Hazard
. Avoid water heater damage.
- Install thermal expansion tank if necessary.
- Do not apply heat to cold water inlet.
- Contact qualified installer or service agency.
