3. 설치 지침
3.1 안전 예방 조치
- Always turn off the electrical power to the water heater at the circuit breaker before beginning any work.
- Turn off the main water supply to the water heater.
- Drain the water heater completely before disconnecting any lines.
- 안전 안경과 장갑 등 적절한 개인 보호 장비를 착용하세요.
- Ensure proper ventilation if working in confined spaces.
3.2 필수 도구(포함되지 않음)
- 조절식 렌치 또는 파이프 렌치
- Bucket or Drain Pan
- Hose (for draining water heater)
3.3 단계별 설치
- Prepare Water Heater: Ensure the water heater is completely drained and both power and water supplies are off. Remove old connectors if replacing.
- 밀봉 테이프를 적용하세요: Wrap the yellow sealing tape (PTFE tape) clockwise around the male threads of the water heater's inlet and outlet ports (typically 3-5 wraps). This helps create a watertight seal.
- Connect Brass Adapters: Thread the lead-free brass compression adapters onto the water heater's inlet and outlet ports. Hand-tighten, then use a wrench to tighten an additional 1/2 to 1 full turn. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Stainless Steel Hoses: Attach one end of each stainless steel connector to the brass adapters on the water heater. Attach the other end of each connector to your home's hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure the hot water line connects to the hot water outlet and the cold water line connects to the cold water inlet.
- 연결을 강화하십시오: Hand-tighten all connections, then use a wrench to tighten securely. Avoid overtightening, which can damage threads or washers.
- 물과 전력을 복구하세요: Slowly turn on the main water supply to the water heater. Open a hot water faucet in your home to allow air to escape the system. Once water flows steadily from the faucet, close it. Check all connections for leaks. If no leaks are present, restore electrical power to the water heater.

5. 유지관리
Regular inspection of your water heater connections can help prevent issues:
- 누출 점검: Periodically inspect all connections for any signs of water leaks. Address any leaks immediately by tightening connections or reapplying sealing tape if necessary.
- 부식: Check for any signs of corrosion on the connectors or adapters. While the components are designed for durability, harsh water conditions can sometimes lead to wear.
- 유연성: Ensure the stainless steel connectors remain flexible and are not kinked or stressed.
6. 문제 해결
설치 후 문제가 발생하면 다음 사항을 고려하세요.
- 연결부 누수:
- 모든 연결이 올바르게 조여졌는지 확인하십시오.
- Verify that enough sealing tape was applied to the threads. If not, turn off water, drain, disconnect, reapply tape, and reconnect.
- Check for damaged washers within the connector fittings.
- 물 흐름 없음:
- Confirm that the main water supply valve to the water heater is fully open.
- Ensure no air is trapped in the lines by opening a hot water faucet until water flows consistently.
