Step-by-Step Instruction STAGE 1 For this part of the installation you will need to view the Figure 1-Diagram in your package showing retrofitting of water tank First Steps: Plumbing Circuit a. Turn off ALL the electrical supplies to the tank. b. Turn off the cold water supply to the tank (see valve on the water supply). c. At the bottom of your tank there should be a drain valve (see #1 on the figure 1 diagram). If it is not located there please consult the manufacturer’s manual. d. Open the drain valve and drain about 1 gallon/4 Litres of water from the tank, to relieve pressure from the tank. e. Assuming that at the top of your tank the galvanized nipples are already installed in the tank, cut the cold water line and place the first galvanized Tee between the water supply and the tank (see #2 on the figure 1 Diagram). f. Then cut the hot water line and place the other galvanized tee between the hot water supply to the house and the tank (see #3 on the Figure 1 Diagram).
