A Successful Install STARTS HERE
LOCATE EXHAUST TEE
& NEUTRALIZER
The exhaust tee and neutralizer
are shipped with the water heater
in a separate box and need to be
connected for proper operation.
GAS CONNECTION
Step 2, Connect the Gas Line
For best performance:
• Ensure that all gas connections, regulator(s), and meter are sized properly
for the BTU/h rating (See Installation Manual for charts)
• Regulator should be a minimum of 8' from the water heater
If installing more than one water heater, make sure each water heater
has a regulator
• Check all connections and fittings for leaks

PREPARE THERMAL
EXPANSION TANK
Make sure the thermal expansion
tank is properly sized for the
application and pressurized to
the building static water pressure.
INSPECT SHIPMENT
Check for any damage
that may have
occurred during
shipping or handling.
WATER CONNECTIONS
Step 1, Connect the Inlet and Outlet
Five water inlet and outlet connections at the
top, side and bottom for easy piping

Step 3, Hook Up the Intake and Exhaust
For optimum performance, proper venting
is essential.
Here are a few tips for installation:
• Calculate total equivalent feet.
90° and 45° elbows reduce the equivalent
vent length by the these values
• Ensure that vent runs are sloped
(1/4" per foot rise recommended)
• Install condensate drain / loop for air intake
• Rheem recommends long sweep elbows when possible

FINAL STEPS
Step 5, Complete the Setup
Once power is applied to the water heater and the ‘On’ button is pressed,
the LCD will automatically begin the Startup Wizard:
1. Set the Time and Date
2. Schedule Hours of Operation for the business – Enables Triton to save
energy and money when the business is not operating
3. Connect to WiFi – Enables users to receive leak and diagnostic alerts,
usage reports and more
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup.
• Remember that the
condensate trap is part
of the exhaust tee and
does not require
extra plumbing
• Recommended
minimum 3" vertical
drop for every 4 ft. of
horizontal run
• Plumb the condensate
line for the proper size
and run to avoid air
bubbles, which can
prevent drainage

ELECTRIC CONNECTION
Step 4, Connect the Electrical
To ensure proper ignition:
• Ensure all electrical connections are secure
• Use correct polarity
• Connect to a 120VAC – 50/60 Hz power supply
• Ensure water heater is properly grounded back to
the main breaker box with minimum 12 gauge
• Ensure breaker is sized properly for 7 AMP service
per water heater
