*Water Heater Best Practices:
- Before installation, drain the water using a low point drain, such as a tub.
- Use a ratchet cutter for CPVC pipe so it does not shatter.
- Use dielectric unions when connecting dissimilar metals to avoid electrolysis.
- After installation, let the air out of the system by turning the water on. Ensure the power is off.
- Turn the water on slowly with all faucets off, letting the tank fill with water.
- Ensure the power is off, then adjust the temperature of your water heater thermostat temperature to 140° F each.
- After setting the new temperatures on the water heater, turn the power on to adjust the temperature to 120° F on the mixing valve. Use an Allen wrench and ensure the temperature remains constant.
