Before anything else, the homeowner should turn off the utilities needed to run the water heater. Water, gas or electricity should all be turned off to prevent any accidents. The replacement water heater usually needs two or more people to do since these machines are on the heavy side. It is important to clean the spot of the old one to ensure that there are no wet areas, dust or other corrosives. Align the building's existing plumbing unto the new unit and try to make sure that the unit is level. It is now time to install the pressure relief valve as well as any other fitting which may have come with the new unit.
The use of Teflon on the fittings, pipe connections or valves is a good idea. Electrically powered or gas powered water heaters units may have different fittings to accommodate the difference of the power source.
