How To Install a Tankless Hot Water Heater

You will be very grateful for choosing tankless water heating.There will be a slight delay for the hot water to arrive at your fixture and that the money saved in standby loss is offset by the higher cost of equipment, gas pipe, flue pipe and materials.

Step 1: It's important to caution.

Larger diameter gas supply lines, higher voltage power supply, and a larger diameter exhaust system are required for tankless water heaters.Before you make a decision to do it, take these things into account.

Step 2: It is recommended that you use special union sets for the water supply.

Simple, easy de-liming will be possible in the future.

Step 3: The main water line should be turned off.

Step 4: The supply line should be disconnected from the old water heater.

Even though your main has been shut off, you will probably have some water left in the line.Put a bucket under the water bib to catch spills.

Step 5: The heat source from the old water heater should be disconnected.

The direction of the handle to the valve should be the same as the line open or closed to make sure the supply valve is closed.Plug the appliance from the wall outlet.

Step 6: If you want to dispose of the old water heater according to the laws in the area you live in, you must remove it from the current parking space.

Step 8: Make sure that you allow for the proper clearances around the appliance to comply with all state and local building codes.

Step 9: Make sure you support the weight of the tankless heater by mounting it on the wall according to the instructions from the manufacturer.

Step 10: You are ready to connect all the connections.

A larger flue or a special steel flue is required for the tankless water heaters.

Step 12: The first thing to do is to start with the supply line.

Step 13: The heat source should be next.

Plug it in to the wall if it uses electricity.You will need to hook up a gas supply line from the wall to the water heater if it is gas.If you want the handle to be in the same direction as the line, open the valve.

Step 14: Light the pilot on the gas water heaters.

Step 15: You can enjoy an endless stream of hot water if you go to your favorite shower location.
