2. Open Aquanta by removing the 4 Philips-head
screws to remove the front cover.
3. Mount the electrical cover plate from the water
heater onto the conduit fitting on the bottom of
Aquanta. Orient Aquanta to face the desired
direction and then tighten the nut on the conduit
fitting. Lower Aquanta, with cover plate, over the
two wires coming from the water heater and then
secure the cover plate onto the water heater using
the original screws. Aquanta is now mounted on
the water heater and the ground contact is
established.
Alternative mounting: For some water heaters it
may be necessary to mount the electrical cover
plate to the water heater prior to fastening it to
Aquanta. In this case, remove the supplied conduit
fittings from the bottom of Aquanta. Place a
washer onto the conduit nipple and then slide the
conduit nipple up through the hole in the cover
plate. Secure the conduit nipple to the cover plate
using one of the conduit nuts. Slide the wires from
the water heater through the conduit nipple and
attach the cover plate to the water heater using
the original screws. Slide Aquanta over the
conduit nipple, place the grounding bracket
(supplied with Aquanta) over the conduit nipple
and secure everything in place using a conduit nut.
