One of the first steps in installing a commercial water heater with spark ignition is to be sure the water heater is pitched back one quarter inch to allow any condensation from the tank to avoid dripping on the pilot, sensors, and pilot guard. The next step is to connect the gas lines with the proper size piping. For example, if the gas valve has a one-inch port (going in), do not use a ” pipe with a bushing as this will reduce the rated BTUs of the water heater.
