1. Prepare Water Heater: Ensure the water heater is completely drained and both power and water supplies are off. Remove old connectors if replacing.
2. Apply Sealing Tape: Wrap the yellow sealing tape (PTFE tape) clockwise around the male threads of the water heater's inlet and outlet ports (typically 3-5 wraps). This helps create a watertight seal.
3. Connect Brass Adapters: Thread the lead-free brass compression adapters onto the water heater's inlet and outlet ports. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/2 to 1 full turn. Do not overtighten.
4. Connect Stainless Steel Hoses: Attach one end of each stainless steel connector to the brass adapters on the water heater. Attach the other end of each connector to your home's hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure the hot water line connects to the hot water outlet and the cold water line connects to the cold water inlet.
5. Strângeți conexiunile: Hand-tighten all connections, then use a wrench to tighten securely. Avoid overtightening, which can damage threads or washers.
6. Restabilirea apei și a energiei electrice: Slowly turn on the main water supply to the water heater. Open a hot water faucet in your home to allow air to escape the system. Once water flows steadily from the faucet, close it. Check all connections for leaks. If no leaks are present, restore electrical power to the water heater.
