Installing the New Water Heater
Place your new water heater for easy hook up of the piping. If it is a gas water heater be sure the
heater is located for easy alignment of the vent piping.
If it is a gas water heater, install the heater's new draft hood. Many have legs that insert into
holes on the heater's top. Gas water heaters needs proper venting .The vent pipe should be no
smaller than the draft hood collar of the new heater. Inspect the old vent pipe. If it is corroded
replace it with new pipe. The vent should go straight up as far as possible. Then any horizontal
run should slope upward at least 1/4 inch per foot.
Connect the vent pipe with short sheet metal screws. The easiest way to connect the hot and cold
water lines to the water heater is to use copper flex-connectors. Flex-connectors are easily bent to
reach where you wish.
