GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
PIPE SIZING PROCEDURE
• Make sure gas supply is off prior to making
any connections to the water heater. A manual
gas control valve, provided with this water
heater, must be placed in the gas supply line
to the water heater. A union can be used on
the connection above the shut-off valve for
the future servicing or disconnection of the unit.
The gas supply to the home must be capable
of handling the entire gas load of the home,
calculated by adding the BTU rating of each gas
appliance in the home. State and local codes must
be met, as well as utility requirements, to ensure
gas supply to the unit is adequate to meet the
rated demand. Use the charts below as a guide to
size the pipe from the utility meter to the tankless
water heater. Gas line sizing is based on gas type,
the pressure drop in the system, the gas pressure
supplied and the gas line type. Refer to the National
Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54, and/or your local gas
provider, for proper gas line sizing.
• Check the type of gas and the gas inlet pressure
before connecting the water heater. If the water
heater is not of the gas type that the building is
supplied with, DO NOT connect the water heater.
Contact the dealer for the proper unit to match
the gas type.
PIPE SIZING TABLE – NATURAL GAS
• Check the gas supply pressure immediately
upstream at a location provided by the gas
company. Supplied gas pressure must be within
the limits shown in the Specifications section.

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE (cont.)
• The water supply should be shut off while
connecting the water heater. Make sure the
water inlet and outlet lines to the water heater fit
in the diagram shown on page 7. A manual water
control valve must be placed in the water inlet
connection to the water heater before it is
connected to the water line. Unions can be
used on both the hot and cold water lines for
future servicing and disconnection of the unit.
• The relief valve must be rated up to 150 psi and
to at least the maximum BTU/hr of the appliance.
• The discharge from the pressure relief valve
should be piped to the ground or into a drain
system to prevent exposure or possible burn
hazards to humans or other plant or animal life.
Follow local codes. Water discharged from the
relief valve could cause severe burns instantly,
scalds or death.
• The piping (including soldering materials) and
components connected to this appliance must
be approved for use in potable water systems.
• The pressure relief valve must be manually
operated once a year to check for correct
operation.
• Purge the water line to remove all debris and air.
Debris will damage the water heater.
• The relief valve should be added to the hot water
outlet line according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. DO NOT place any other type of
valve or shut-off device between the relief valve
and the water heater.
• Toxic chemicals such as those used for boiler
water treatment are not to be introduced to the
potable water used for space heating.
• If the appliance will be used as a potable water
source, it must not be connected to a system
that was previously used with a nonpotable
water heating appliance.
• Do not plug the relief valve and do not install any
reducing fittings or other restrictions in the relief
line. The relief line should allow for complete
drainage of the valve and the line.
• Ensure that the water filter on the water heater
is clean and installed. See the Cleaning the inlet
filter section on page 19.
• If a relief valve discharges periodically, this may
be due to thermal expansion in a closed water
supply system. Contact the water supplier or
local plumbing inspector on how to correct this
situation. Do not plug the relief valve.
• New plumbing typically has contamination
in the lines. The inlet water filter should be
cleaned immediately after initial use.
• Neither GE nor the American National Standard
(ANSI Z21.10.3)/Canadian Standard (CSA 4.3)
requires a combination temperature and
pressure relief valve for this appliance; however,
local codes may require a combination

INTERNAL BUILT-IN FREEZE PROTECTION
• Make sure the pressure relief valve is installed
so there is clearance if the optional pipe cover
(AGTPCM) is installed.
• The freeze protection features include
electrical heating elements and intermittent firing
of the burner. Freeze protection may be disabled
if electricity or gas is not supplied, or if there is
an error preventing the water heater from
functioning.
• An approved pressure relief valve is required
by the American National Standard (ANSI

FREEZE PROTECTION
FOR EXTERNAL PIPING
IMPORTANT!
With electrical power supplied to the water
heater, it will not freeze in environments as
cold as -30°F, when protected from direct wind
exposure.
In the event of a power failure at temperatures
below freezing, the water heater should be
drained of all water to prevent freezing damage.
The unit may be drained manually, or through
the installation of the optional solenoid valves
as shown.
The unit may be drained manually; however, we
highly recommend that drain-down solenoid valves
be installed that will automatically drain the unit if
power is lost.
When the electrical power to the water heater
fails, the 3/4″ solenoid valve closes (stopping
the flow of water into the heater) and the 1/4″
solenoid valve opens (allowing the water heater
and associated piping to drain). Ensure that you
run the drain for the solenoids to the outside
environment to prevent discharging water inside
the building, which can cause water damage.
NOTE: If the unit is installed in an environment that
can freeze, follow state and local codes and apply
heat trace to ALL water pipes and fittings located
outside (attic, crawl space or building structure).

CASCADING MULTIPLE WATER HEATERS
The Dual Connect Cable Kit (AGTDC1) is an optional
accessory that connects 2 water heaters and allows
them to function as one hot water source.
GUIDELINES
• Do not install the Dual Connect Cable Kit (AGTDC1)
with the Multi Connect Kit (AGTCK1) and the Multi
Connect Cable Kit (AGTMC1) because they are not
designed to operate together.
The Multi Connect Kit (AGTCK1) and the Multi Connect
Cable Kit (AGTMC1) are optional accessories that
connect 3 to 5 water heaters and allow them to
function as one hot water source.
• Water heaters should be installed less than
18 inches apart so that the cables will reach
between units and to prevent temperature
fluctuations (cold water sandwich effect) when
the water is shut off and turned back on.
Refer to the instructions that come with the accessory
for complete installation information.
• Temperature settings can only be changed on
the controller for the primary unit.

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
• Ensure 120 Volts A.C. is connected to the unit and that
the circuit is turned on.
• Verify the gas system is functioning correctly by
connecting your manometer to the gas pressure test port
on the unit (see page 11). Operate all gas appliances in
the facility. The inlet gas pressure on the unit MUST NOT
DROP BELOW that listed on the unit rating plate for the
gas type being used. A manometer can be used to check
the pressure.
• Make sure you have cleaned the COLD water inlet filter
screen.
• Inspect HOT (outlet) and COLD (inlet) water lines to ensure
they have not been crossed and are leak-free.
• Ensure the manual gas valve packaged with the water
heater is installed in the gas supply line (see page 10).
• Ensure the controller is installed and functioning.
Instruct the consumer on how to operate the controller.
Instructions are always supplied in the Owner’s Manual
(see page 18). A typical water temperature set point
is 120 degrees.
