INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Diagrams: 1. Bolt heater base in desired location, above or away from bilge water. This is an electrical appliance and must be kept dry. Make certain base is connected to ground bonding system.
2. Make all water connections and fill tank. Open faucet to allow air in tank to escape, allowing water to run clear in all lines. Note: Do not rotate outlet fitting. This fitting is positioned so that attached AIR-VENT tubing end is at top of water storage tank to eliminate trapped air. Black line on outlet pipe nipple indicates position of top of the AIR-VENT and should always be on the top of this fitting.
3. Connect power to heater with 3 conductor cord, making certain that green ground wire is connected to ground wire on incoming power cord.
4. Furnish 15 amp protected circuit for water heater power supply for standard 1500 Watt 120 Volt elements. For special order wattage’s or voltages other than standard, circuit protection should be provided according to the requirements for that particular installation.
5. Water heater thermostat is equipped with over temperature electrical cutoff. If energy cutoff operates, check fusing and wiring then reset by pushing the red reset button on thermostat. (Energy cutoff will operate if water temperature exceeds 200 F.)
6. Pipe temperature-pressure relief valve to extend below base of water heater to bilge, or overboard. Relief valve will operate at 210 F. temperature and/or 75 PSI pressure.
7. CAUTION: Drain water from heater if freezing of stored water is possible. Freezing will rupture tank and/or connecting water lines.
8. Do not install check valve between accumulator or pressure tank and water heater. The water will expand as it heats and must have a place to expand into or the pressure will rise until the relief valve on the water heater opens.
9. When operating water heater from shore power a galvanic isolator is recommended to prevent electrolysis in tank. 10. For rough water cruising we recommend additional restraints.
11. Maintenance: At intervals of no more than 2 years it is recommended that the magnesium anode be removed and inspected for deterioration, and replaced if substantially wasted. This can greatly lengthen the life of your water heater. This maintenance is not required to maintain your warranty. On vertical tanks the anode is located under the top of the water heater jacket. Just remove the 3 screws holding on the top to the water heater and remove the insulation bat for access to the anode. On horizontal tanks remove the rear mounting bracket, then remove the 3 screws holding on the back cover of the water heater. The anode is located in the center of the back of the tank. Tools required: slotted screw driver and socket set with ˝ and 1/16 inch sockets. The magnesium anodes are available through your local marine dealer, or call Torrid Mfg. for more information.
