I) HANGING THE UNIT
- The heater must beinstalled vertically and secured with 3 screws using the“drill
hole template” included with this heater.
- Do not connect power or water prior to properly hanging the unit.
-Mark the position of the points of the 3 screws using the template supplied.
Note that were commend leaving6inchesclearance (free)aroundtheheater,
therebyfacilitatingthe proper installation and maintenance.
- Install screws at the marked locations. If you are installing in sheetrock, use the
providedwallanchorsbydrillinga¼”hole. Installtheanchorsbeforeinstallingthe
screw. Otherwise,directly attach screws to studs.
-Hangtheheater from the screwsusing the keyholebracketsonthebackofthe
heater.
II) PLUMBING
Important: Your ECO110 water heater does NOT have a high pressure relief
valve. YourheaterisintendedforuseONLYupto150PSIofwaterpressure. When
water pressures may exceed 150 PSI, you MUST install a pressure relief valve
adjacent to the cold water entrance.
The heater should be installed as close as possible to the point of use. The
further the hot water has to travel, the higher the likelihood of heatloss.
Do not install in wet areas.
When installed in a location thatcould freezetheheater must beisolatedand
drained.
- Stainless steel flexible hose or copper tubing must be used. Do NOT use PVC,
CPVC, or other plastic supply lines to connect the unit. The copper or steel must
runaminimumof16”fromthe heaterbeforeanyothertypeoftubingorpipecanbe
used.
- Your unit comes prefitted with a 1/2” NPT adapter. Connect 1/2” stainless steel
hose or ½” threaded copper to connect to the unit. (Cold water inlet is on the right
sideoftheunit,hotwateroutletisontheleft.)
-Youmustuseanisolationvalveattheinletpipeoftheunit,toallowthewatertothe

When this is the case, we recommend the use of a (non-salt) water softening
system.
-Checkforwaterleaksandcorrectasnecessarybeforeapplyingpowertotheunit.
III)ELECTRICITY
- Install a 50 Amp GFCI fuse box or switch (“breaker") for exclusive use of the
heater. Wire size will vary based on distance, but this unit will require a MINIMUM
sizeof8AWGwire.
