Geospring Hybrid 50 Gallon Heat Pump Electric Hot Water Heater - EnerStar

GEH50DEEDSC GeoSpring™ hybrid water heater Dimensions and Installation Information (in inches) Local Installation Regulations: This water heater must be installed in accordance with these instructions, local codes, utility codes, utility company requirements or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National Electrical Code. It is available from some local libraries or can be purchased from the National Fire Prevention Association, Batterymarch park, Quincy, MA 02169 as booklet ANSI/NFPA 70. Installation Information: For complete information, see installation instructions packed with your water heater. Power Requirements: Check the markings on the rating plate of the water heater to be certain the power supply corresponds to the water heater requirements. Location: Locate the water heater in a clean dry area as near as practical to the area of greatest heated water demand. Long uninsulated hot water lines can waste energy and water. Note: Because this unit draws in air from the room to heat the water, the room must be at least 10’ x 10’ x 7’ (700 cubic feet) or larger. If the room is smaller, there must be a louvered door. Place the water heater in such a manner that the air filter, cover and front panels can be removed to permit inspection and servicing, such as removal of elements or cleaning of the filter. The water heater and water lines should be protected from freezing temperatures and high-corrosive atmospheres. Do not install the water heater in outdoor, unprotected areas.

GEH50DEEDSC GeoSpring™ hybrid water heater Dimensions and Installation Information (in inches) Front & back clearance requirements: A 7” clearance is recommended with a minimum of 5-1/2” air space between any object and the front and back of the water heater and 7” on each side. Clearance is needed to allow for removal of the front and back covers in the event service is needed.

Water Supply Connections: Refer to the illustration below for suggested typical installation. The installation of unions or flexible copper connectors is recommended on the hot and cold water connections so that the water heater may be easily disconnected for servicing if necessary. The HOT and COLD water connections are clearly marked and are 3/4” NPT on all models. Note: Install a shut-off valve in the cold water line near the water heater. This will enable easier service or maintenance of the unit later. IMPORTANT: Do not apply heat to the HOT or COLD water connections. If sweat connections are used, sweat tubing to adapter before fitting the adapter to the cold water connections on heater. Any heat applied to the hot or cold water connection will permanently damage the dip tube.

Top filter removal clearance requirements: A minimum 6” clearance is required at the top of the water heater to pull the filter up and remove it for cleaning. It is critical that the hot and cold water plumbing and the electrical connections do not interfere with the removal of the filter.

Condensate drain required: A primary drain pipe must be installed at the top right side of the water heater. The primary drain is intended to carry all condensate away.
