Removing the Old Water Heater
FIGURE 1.
1.  Turn “OFF” electrical supply to the water heater.
FIGURE 2.
2. Turn “OFF” the water supply to the water heater at the water 
shut-off valve or water meter.
FIGURE 3.
3. Attach  a  hose  to  the  water  heater  drain  valve  and  put  the 
other end in a floor drain or outdoors. Open the water heater 
drain valve. Open a nearby hot water faucet which will relieve 
pressure in the water heater and speed draining.
FIGURE 4.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The water passing out of the drain valve may be extremely hot. 
To avoid being scalded, make sure all connections are tight and 
that the water flow is directed away from any person.
4. Check again to make sure the electrical supply is turned “OFF” 
to  the  water  heater.  Then  disconnect  the  electrical  supply 
connection from the water heater junction box.

  approximately four inches away from where they connect
 
  to the water heater. This will avoid cutting off the pipes
 
  too short. Additional cuts can be made later if necessary.
 
  Disconnect  the  temperature-pressure  relief  valve
 
   drain  line. When the water heater is drained, disconnect 
 
  the  hose  from  the  drain  valve.  Close  the  drain  valve. 
 
  The  water  heater  is  now  completely  disconnected  and
 
  ready to be removed.

Water  heater  life  depends  upon  water  quality,  water  pressure 
and the environment in which the water heater is installed. Water 
heaters are sometimes installed in locations where leakage may 
result in property damage, even with the use of a drain pan piped 
to a drain. However, unanticipated damage can be reduced or 
prevented  by  a  leak  detector  or  water  shut-off  device  used  in 
conjunction with a piped drain pan. These devices are available 
from some plumbing wholesalers and retailers, and detect and 
react to leakage in various ways:
• Sensors mounted in the drain pan that trigger an alarm or turn 
off  the  incoming  water  to  the  water  heater  when  leakage  is 
detected.
•  Sensors mounted in the drain pan that turn off the water supply 
to the entire home when water is detected in the drain pan.
•  Water supply shut-off devices that activate based on the water 
pressure differential between the cold water and hot water pipes 
connected to the water heater.
INSTALLATION IN RESIDENTIAL GARAGES: The water heater 
must be located and/or protected so it is not subject to physical 
damage by a moving vehicle.
• The location selection must provide adequate clearances for 
servicing and proper operation of the water heater.
Insulation Blankets
Insulation blankets are available to the general public for external 
use  on  electric  water  heaters  but  are  not  necessary  with  this 
product.    The  purpose  of  an  insulation  blanket  is  to  reduce 
the  standby  heat  loss  encountered  with  storage  tank  heaters.  
Your  water  heater  meets  or  exceeds  the  National  Appliance 
Energy  Conversation  Act  standards  with  respect  to  insulation 
and  standby  loss  requirements,  making  an  insulation  blanket 
unnecessary.
Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, 
you  should  follow  these  instructions  below.  Failure  to  follow 
these  instructions  can  result  in  fire,  serious  personal  injury, 
or death.
• 
Do not cover the temperature and pressure relief (T & P) valve 
with an insulation blanket.
• 
Do not cover the instruction manual.  Keep it on the side of 
the water heater or nearby for future reference.
• 
Do obtain new warning and instruction labels for placement 
on the blanket directly over the existing labels.
FIGURE 7.
Mineral  buildup  or  sediment  may  have  accumulated  in  the 
old  water  heater.  This  causes  the  water  heater  to  be  much 
heavier than normal and this residue, if spilled out, could cause 
staining.
Facts to Consider About the Location
You should carefully choose an indoor location for the new water 
heater, because the placement is a very important consideration 
for the safety of the occupants in the building and for the most 
economical  use  of  the  appliance. This  water  heater  is  not 
intended for outdoor installation.
Whether  replacing  an  old  water  heater  or  putting  the  water 
heater  in  a  new  location,  the  following  critical  points  must  be 
observed.
•   The location selected should be indoors as close to and as 
centralized  with  the  water  piping  system  as  possible.  This 
water heater, as well as all water heaters, will eventually leak. 
Do not install without adequate drainage provisions so water 
flow will not cause damage.
WATER HEATERS EVENTUALLY LEAK: Installation of the water 
heater must be accomplished in such a manner that if the tank 
or any connections should leak, the flow of water will not cause 
damage to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, 
a suitable drain pan should be installed under the water heater. 
Drain pans are available at your local Sears stores. Such drain 
pans must be piped to an adequate drain.

Water Piping
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,  shall  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 8.
Figure  9  shows  the  attachment  of  the  water  piping  to  the 
water  heater.  The  water  heater  is  equipped  with  3/4”  water 
connections.
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; 
m e a n s   m u s t   b e   p r o v i d e d   t o   c o n t r o l   t h e r m a l   e x p a n s i o n . 
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 connections. Do 
not solder the water supply lines directly to the connections. 
It will harm the fittings on the water heater.
NOTE: To protect against untimely corrosion of hot and cold 
water  fittings,  it  is  strongly  recommended  that  di  electric 
unions or couplings be installed on this water heater when 
connected to copper pipe.
1.  Look at the side of the water heater. The hot water outlet is 
marked hot. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the 
threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around  
the 3/4” threaded nipple. Using flexible connectors, connect 
the hot water pipe to the hot water outlet of the water heater.
2.  Look  at  the  side  of  the  water  heater. The  cold  water  inlet  is 
marked cold. Put two or three turns of teflon tape around the 
threaded end of the threaded-to-sweat coupling and around  
the 3/4” threaded nipple. Using flexible connectors, connect the 
cold water pipe to the cold water inlet of the water heater.
FIGURE 9.
NOTE:  Your  water  heater  is  insulated  to  minimize  heat 
loss  from  the  tank.  Further  reduction  in  heat  loss  can  be 
accomplished  by  insulating  the  hot  water  lines  from  the  
water heater.

T & P Valve and Pipe Insulation
Remove  insulation  for T  &  P  valve  and  pipe  connections  from 
carton.
Fit  pipe  insulation  over  the  incoming  cold  water  line  and  the 
hot water line. Make sure that the insulation is against the side 
jacket of the heater.
Fit T & P valve insulation over valve. Make sure that the insulation 
does not interfere with the lever of the T & P valve.
Secure all insulation using tape.

spud location vary from model to model.
Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve
This  heater  is  provided  with  a  properly  certified  combination  
temperature - pressure relief valve by the manufacturer.
The valve is certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory 
that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment 
of  materials  as  meeting  the  requirements  for  Relief  for  Hot 
Water  Supply  Systems,  ANSI  Z21.22  •  CSA  4.4,  and  the  code 
requirements of ASME.
If replaced, the valve must meet the requirements of local codes, 
but not less than a combination temperature and pressure relief 
valve certified as indicated in the above paragraph.
The valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to 
exceed  the  marked  hydrostatic  working  pressure  of  the  water 
heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not less 
than the water heater input rate as shown on the model rating 
plate. (Electric heaters - watts x 3.412 equal Btu/hr input rate)
