Q. How should I secure this tankless water heater to the mounting surface?
A.
- Secure the unit to the mounting surface using four screws, each at least 1 inch long. Utilise the built-in mounting brackets on each side of the heater for this purpose.
- Ensure that the mounting surface is solid and secure to provide a stable foundation for the water heater.

Q. What are the steps for plumbing this Eemax HA008240 electric tankless water heater?
A.
- Connect the HOT WATER line to the water heater's OUTLET on the left and the COLD WATER line to the INLET on the right when facing the unit. Ensure secure fittings.
- After tightening both fittings, open several hot water faucets and let water run through the heater for 2 to 3 minutes. This purges air from the lines. Failure to do this can cause permanent damage to the heating elements.
- If any maintenance introduces air into the plumbing, turn off the power to the water heater. Purge air before allowing the unit to power up to prevent damage.
- Carefully inspect all connections, unions and the pressure relief valve (if installed) for leaks after completing the plumbing. Promptly address any leaks to maintain the plumbing system's integrity.

A. Use a suitable wire gauge that meets all applicable electrical codes for the size of the breakers used. Run the correct sets of wires from the workplace's main breaker panel to the tankless water heater.
Q. Do I need a separate ground conductor for each incoming circuit?
A. Yes, a separate ground conductor for each incoming circuit is required for proper electrical installation.
Q. How can I ensure the correctness and security of the electrical connections?
A.
- Double-check the electrical connections to ensure they are correct.
- Confirm that all wire connections are tight and secure.
- Verify that the correct breaker size and wire gauge have been used.
- Ensure the unit is connected to the ground following applicable codes.
Q. Why is it recommended to have the water connections on the left and right sides?
A. For ease of installation and servicing, install the tankless water heater with the inlet and outlet water connections on the left and right sides, respectively. This configuration can simplify the plumbing connections and make it more convenient for maintenance tasks.
