9. CONNECTION OF BURNER SUPPLY TUBE AND
PILOT SUPPLY LINE: Install the inverted flared end
of the burner supply tube into the combination gas control.
Hand thread the hex nut fitting on the burner supply tube into
the control. Ensure that the fitting is properly aligned with
the control, otherwise cross threading of the connection will
occur. Tighten the fitting using a 3/4" open-end wrench. See
Figures 1 or 2 for the type of control your water heater is
equipped with.
NOTICE: The threads for connection of the burner supply
tube nut on LP combination gas controls are left-handed.
Install the end of the pilot supply line into the combination gas
control. Hand thread the hex nut fitting on the pilot supply line
into the control. Ensure that the fitting is properly aligned with the
control, otherwise cross threading of the connection will occur.
Tighten the fitting using a 7/16" open-end wrench. See Figures l
or 2 for the type of control your water heater is equipped with.
10. CONNECTION OF THERMOPILE AND PIEZO
WIRING:
For water heaters equipped with Honeywell
Combination Gas Control
Locate the thermopile connector on the pilot assembly. Using
needle nose pliers push the connector onto the Honeywell
Combination Gas Control and ensure that the connector is fully
engaged. Locate the piezo wire connector and connect it to the
piezo lead coming from the gas control. See Figure 1.
For water heaters equipped with White-Rodgers
Combination Gas Control
Locate the two thermopile adapters from the kit and using needle
nose pliers insert the female ends into the thermopile connection
of the White-Rodgers Combination Gas Control. IMPORTANT:
For proper installation of the thermopile connector, the adapt-
ers must be oriented as show in Figure 12. Push the thermopile
connector of the pilot assembly onto the thermopile adapters and
ensure that the connections are correct and the connectors are
fully engaged. Locate the Type A Piezo Adapter from the kit and
connect it to the piezo lead coming from the gas control and the
piezo wire coming from the pilot assembly.
WARNING: Failure to properly install the burner access
door assembly could result in a potentially hazardous situ-
ation resulting in death or serious injury and/or property
damage.
11. TURN ON GAS TO THE APPLIANCE: Turn on the gas
supply at the main gas supply line. Follow the “FOR YOUR
SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING” and “LIGHTING
INSTRUCTIONS” label located above the water heater's
combination gas control.
12. CHECKING FOR GAS LEAKS: With the pilot and main
burner in operation, use a soap and water solution to check for
gas leaks at the burner supply and pilot supply line connec-
tions.
NOTICE: If the soap and water solution bubbles up, there is
a leak and the fittings must be tightened and checked again.
IMPORTANT: If the leak(s) cannot be eliminated, turn off
the gas supply to the water heater and contact the water heat-
er manufacturer at the phone number indicated in the water
heater's Use & Care Manual.
13. TEMPERATURE SETTING: Rotate the combina-
tion gas control/thermostat knob clockwise to
the desired setting. A temperature setting of 120°F
(49°C) or less is recommended as a usable water
temperature.
The illustrations in Figure 13 details the approxi-
mate water temperature for each mark on the com-
bination gas control/thermostat.
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential
for Hot Water SCALDS.
14. REPLACE JACKET DOOR: Replace the jacket door
by inserting one end of the door behind the jacket edge
then insert the opposite end of the door behind the
jacket edge and release the door.
