Installing a New Tankless Water Heater

The installation of the new tankless water heater began by selecting a suitable location, ensuring it had proper ventilation and clearance. The water heater was mounted securely on the wall, following the manufacturer's guidelines for height and distance from any combustible materials. The cold water inlet and hot water outlet pipes were connected to the heater using the appropriate fittings. Pipe tape was used on the threads to ensure a tight seal and prevent leaks. For electric tankless water heaters, the electrical connections were made, ensuring the heater was properly wired to the electrical panel according to the power requirements. For gas models, the gas line was connected, ensuring there were no leaks, and a gas leak detector was used to verify safety. Once the plumbing and electrical or gas connections were made, the system was powered on, and the water flow was tested. The heater was flushed to remove any air pockets, and the temperature settings were adjusted. The system was tested for water flow, ensuring it heated water efficiently and maintained a consistent temperature. Finally, the unit was checked for leaks, and the entire system was verified to be operating smoothly.
