NOTE: If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in Figure 3, it might not be possible to service the heater without removing it from the space. This water heater must not be located near flammable liquids such as gasoline, butane, liquefied propane, adhesives, solvents, paint thinners, etc., as the controls of this water heater could ignite these vapors and cause an explosion, resulting in property damage, severe personal injury, or death. D.
dissolved solids in excess of 2,000 ppm is a non-warrantable condition. Failure of a water heater due to lime scale build up IS NOT covered by the warranty. Hardness: 7 grains Chloride levels: 100 ppm pH levels: 6-8 TDS: 2000 ppm Sodium: 20 mGL PART 3 – PIPING A. PLUMBING It is mandatory that all plumbing be done in accordance with federal, local, and state plumbing codes and practices. Failure to properly install the water heater WILL VOID the warranty.
6” above the structural floor. The relief line cannot be in contact with any live electrical parts. If the relief valve constantly weeps, install an expansion tank, and see expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for suggestions. Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death may result.
discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing supplier. Table 6 details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications. F. POTABLE EXPANSION TANK A potable hot water expansion tank may be required to offset heated water expansion.
H. PIPING NOTES: 1. Minimum pipe size should match connection size. Upsize pipe accordingly if greater flow is required. 2. A thermal expansion tank suitable for potable water must be sized and installed within this piping system between the backflow preventer and the cold water inlet. 3. All circulators should have an integral flow check. 4. Drains and check valve between unit and storage tank will assist in purging air from system. 5. This drawing is meant to demonstrate system piping only.

PART 5 – START-UP AND OPERATION 1. Fill the water heater by opening the cold water shut-off valve. Purge air from the system by opening a hot water outlet at a fixture in a kitchen or bathroom. When water flows freely from the outlet, the system is purged. 2. Check the system for leaks. Fix any leaks before continuing the installation. Any leaks can result in serious property damage and personal injury. 3.

PART 6 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Periodic maintenance should be performed by a qualified service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the heater. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the heater may result in a hazardous condition.
TROUBLESHOOTING NO HOT WATER PROBLEM Zone valve not opening Circulator not operating Tank control set too low Boiler control set too low Wiring incorrect Tank control failure Zone valve failure Circulator failure Air trap in loop POSSIBLE SOLUTION Open manually to replace.
