PLUMBING HOOK-UP
The water heater is supplied with 3/8” brass compression fittings that are compatible with either copper or plastic pipes. Make sure
these fittings are used for this installation. Contact your Eemax representative for further information.
Eemax strongly recommends that the heater be supplied directly from the main cold water trunk line when possible. This helps to
avoid a potential water flow interruption to the water heater which could lead to a failure of the heating element.
System Requirements:
 Minimum turn on flow rates are family dependent:
o LavAdvantage: 0.2 GPM
o AccuMix II: 0.3 GPM
o FlowCo: vary by model (refer to the table below)
 Minimum/maximum working pressure: 30 PSI/150 PSI
 Optimal operating pressure range: 35 to 80 PSI

*Special suffixed models (i.e. CA, etc.), will have identical temperature rises as their base model
For optimum performance, Eemax recommends the use of isolation valves (full flow ball type) on the inlet and outlet pipes and a 40
mesh Y-Strainer on the inlet of the heater.
