4. Install Pressure Relief Valve: Take the pressure relief valve out of its box and install it on the top of the water heater unit.
5. Connect Drain to Pressure Relief Valve: Connect your drain line to the pressure relief valve (also known as a T&P valve). If using Teflon tape, wrap it in a clockwise direction on the threads.
6. Prepare Water Connections: The cold and hot water valves are located at the top of the unit. Remove the red and blue shipping caps.
7. Connect Flexible Lines: Connect 1/2-inch flexible lines to each valve. Apply thread sealant to these connections, wrapping clockwise.
