Yes, it's a '96 Khyber. Please explain what the "jumper" for the old flow switch does. Does the kit come with instructions? Those that came with the heater were poor. Thanks so much for your help.
You don't need the old flow switch because the new heater has an internal type of high limit cutoff in it. The flow switch is one of the three gray connections on the side of the box. The other 2 similar looking ones are the thermistors which go into the new heater, just like the old one. A retro-kit has a jumper plug that plugs into the spot that the old flow switch was plugged into. If you don't have one you can cut the wires on the old flow switch and wire nut them together.
I think the kit comes with instructions but I've never really looked. The main part of it is the flow switch jumper, extra 3/4" hose and fittings for the replumbing, and the plug for the bleedline. You will also need to adapt the electrical cord of the new heater to your plug. I believe that I have some of the adapters that will plug into the control box that you have if you can't figure out how to wire it in as is.
