You need to have the THERMOCOUPLE replaced immediately.

it sounds to me light your thermo coupler is shot if this is replaced it should be o.k., thank you.

You are correct. They are relays. A low voltage operates a higher voltage. 

-Did you buy it directly from Grainger? The model # is actually 82SV30-2T. The "model #" you provided is Grainger's product code.

-Is this a new installation or is this an older water heater?

-Is this wired to a 25 amp breaker. (It should be.)

-Did you re-use existing wire? If so, is it at least #10 copper? (It has to be #10 or larger to comply with code) It isn't copper-clad aluminum or cotton over rubber insulated, right? (It should not be)

-Have you re-wired the heating elements? If so, you need to restore the wiring to the way it was configured from the factory.

Let me know if you need further assistance.

Question edited for clarity. Question moved from Cars and Trucks. It depends if it is electric or gas. Electric is fairly easy as you can test it with a multimeter. Gas is harder as it has safety elements to its operation. Gas appliances should only be worked on by a registered gas technician. https://www.google.com/search?q=vanguard+water+heater+check+thermostat ..

The pipes coming out of the heater normally do not unscrew so that should not be what you are trying to unscrew. The connections to these pipes do unscrew and a 12" or larger wrench should be able to break the bond on the pipe threads and unscrew. Sometimes it helps to apply some WD-40 or any penetrating oil and then tap on the nuts with a hammer to help break up any corrosion or other bonding material that is holding the nuts. Go to the manufacturer's website and enter your model number and click on "Support" and there should be a FAQ's, Owners Manual or other support options for you. Otherwise the website may have a "Contact" phone number to call or a way to Chat online.

Make sure you have 1 square inch per 2000btu's (rating on the water heater) of fresh air for proper combustion

Hello abcd. Vanguard appears to be manufactured by RjheemRheem promotes that their products require specialized 'resistorized' elements or 'all copper' elements to portion larger brand-specific sales in their pocket and for no other reason.1) Buy 3600 watt element. Nothing special needed:Copy following link to identify type of element:http://waterheatertimer.org/How-to-replace-water-heater-element.html2) March 2013: Add a comment and describe the water heater and the element.

Hi there,
Yes and they have universal kits at the hardware stores like Home Depot.

I am not sure they are available to non Hitachi service centres. https://documentation.hitachiaircon.com/glb/en/pac/rua-at3s

The P8 fault can mean many things when it pops up on your Mitsubishi Electric wall controller. The P8 fault is activated when the indoor coil sensor does not change the temperature for a set amount of time after the compressor is (or should be) switched on.
