The 290 Series tankless water heater service
valve kit connects directly to the standard
¾” MNPT nipples on the bottom of a typical
tankless water heater.
Attach the ¾” union tailpieces on the 290
valves to the hot (on the left) and the cold
(on the right) nipples of the heater, using
tape or sealant for the NPT threads. Then
attach the valve bodies using the union nuts
and provided.

Service
Tankless water heaters require regular flushing and cleaning. Hard water mineral deposits on
the heat exchanger surfaces and sediment buildup reduce heater efficiency and can cause
premature failure.

WARNING: The relief valve can discharge
large quantities of extremely hot water. The
discharge pipe must be piped to an adequate
drain, and the discharge on the relief valve shall
be conducted to a suitable place for disposal
when relief occurs by installation of a drain
line with its terminal end discharging through
a six inch (6”) air gap to an approved location
or building drain. Do not connect the drain line
directly to a sewer line. The terminal end of the
drain line shall be plain, not threaded. The drain
line shall be as short and straight as possible
such that the arrangement does not reduce
the relieving capacity of the valve below that
required to protect the heater/boiler. To prevent
water from collecting in the drain line, which
could potentially freeze and cause blockage,
the drain line must be oriented downward such
that the relief valve outlet and drain line will
drain dry. A shut-off valve, reducing coupling,
or other restrictions shall not be installed in
the drain line. The material used for the drain
line must be known to be serviceable for the
purpose and must conform to applicable codes
and standards.
Before operating make sure valve is piped to
a proper drain per instructions. Scalding injury
and/or water damage can occur from either
the manual lifting of the lever or the normal
operation of the valve if it is not piped to a
proper drain.
The BTU/Hr capacity rating of the relief valve
shall meet or exceed the input rating to the
water heater/boiler.
Pressure relief valve
In the event that the tankless water heater and its piping system exceed designed pressure limits,
the pressure relief valve will automatically open, discharging large amounts of very hot water.
Correctly installed discharge piping and drainage are critical in avoiding a scalding danger or water
damage.
Tighten the included pressure relief with ¾” NPT male connection into the hot water isolation ball
valve ¾” NPT female access port. The outlet connection of the pressure relief valve must face
downward, requiring a vertical discharge pipe. In accordance with IPC code requirement 504.6,
install a suitable-length nipple as a discharge pipe, into the female NPT outlet of the pressure relief valve:
-Do not reduce the ¾” nominal pipe size (NPS) at any length of the piping.
The end of the discharge pipe must remain open and unobstructed.
-The discharge piping must not contain low points, which could trap water. The piping must
allow complete drainage.
-The discharge piping must discharge into a suitable open drain and must not be allowed to
freeze. Please consult IPC 504.6 for additional details.
Annually inspect the end of the discharge piping for signs of relief valve leakage. Carefully lift the
spring-loaded lever and center it horizontally against the identification disc, allowing hot water to
flow from the end of the discharge pipe, into the drain.
CAUTION! Discharged water is extremely hot and can scald! Avoid contact with the water.
After a few seconds, flip the lever back down, closing the valve. If the pressure relief valve fails
to flow water when opened or fails to reseat when closed, contact a qualified installer for valve
replacement.
AVERTISSEMENT: La soupape de décharge peut
évacuer d’importantes quantités d’eau extrêmement
chaude. Le tuyau de refoulement doit être raccordé à
un drain adéquat et l’eau évacuée par la soupape de
décharge dirigée vers un endroit approprié lorsque
l’évacuation se produit au travers de l’installation
d’un tuyau de refoulement dont l’extrémité terminale
se décharge à travers un espace d’air de six pouces
(15,24 cm) vers un emplacement approuvé ou un
drain de bâtiment. Ne raccordez pas le tuyau de
refoulement directement à une conduite d’égout.
L’extrémité du tuyau de refoulement doit être lisse
et non filetée. Le tuyau de refoulement doit être
aussi court et droit que possible, de manière à
ce que l’agencement ne réduise pas la capacité
de décharge de la soupape en dessous de celle
requise pour protéger le chauffe-eau /chaudière.
Pour éviter que l’eau ne s’accumule dans le tuyau
de refoulement, ce qui pourrait potentiellement geler
et provoquer un blocage, le tuyau de refoulement
doit être orienté vers le bas de manière à ce que
la sortie de la soupape de décharge et le tuyau de
refoulement s’écoulent à sec. Une vanne d’arrêt,
un manchon réduit ou d’autres outils de restrictions
ne doivent pas être installés dans le tuyau de
refoulement. Le matériau utilisé pour le tuyau de
refoulement doit être utilisable à cette fin et doit être
conforme aux codes et normes applicables. Avant
d’utiliser la vanne, assurez-vous qu’elle est raccordée
à un système d’évacuation approprié, conformément
aux instructions. Des blessures par ébouillantage
et/ou des dégâts d’eau peuvent se produire soit
en soulevant manuellement le levier, soit en faisant
fonctionner normalement la vanne si elle n’est pas
raccordée à un drain approprié. La capacité en BTU/
Hr (W) de la soupape de décharge doit être égale ou
supérieure à la capacité du chauffe-eau/chaudière.
