Pre-installation
1. The installation must conform with the instructions
in this manual and all applicable local, state,
provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations, and
ordinances. Installations in Canada must conform to
B149.1 or B149.2 Installation Codes.
2. Be certain the domestic water supply to the tank has
physical and chemical characteristics that fall within
the limits shown in Table 2A. Where questions exist
as to the composition of the water on the job, a
qualified water treatment expert should be consulted.
Water with characteristics outside the
limits shown in Table 2A may severely
shorten the life of the tank due to
corrosion. Damage to tanks in such
cases is not covered under warranty.
3. Read and understand all installation requirements in
this manual.
Table 2A
Water Chemistry Requirements
Water used in the tank must have characteristics falling
within the following limits:
Characteristic Min. Max.
Ph 6.0 8.0
Chloride (PPM) 0.0 80.0
CAUTION
Locating the Tank
1. Figure 1-1 on page 4 shows the weights of all the tanks filled
with water. Make sure that the location chosen for the tank
is capable of supporting it.
2. Locate the system in a location where a leak in the tank, the
adjacent piping, or an open T & P valve will not damage the
surrounding structure. If the area around the desired tank
location is highly susceptible to water damage, install the
tank in a pan with a drain.
3. The tank may be located some distance from the boiler
provided the zone system is designed to provide the flow
called for in Table 3A - Pressure Drop Values, through
the coil. Also, the further the tank is from the boiler, the
longer the response of the boiler will be to a call from the
tank zone. Insulate piping between the boiler and the tank.
Recommended Clearances
The installation location must provide adequate clearances for
servicing and proper operation of the water heater. A 12 inch
vertical clearance is recommended from the top of the water
heater. A zero clearance is allowed for the sides of the water
heater. However, boiler and servicing clearances must be figured
when locating the water heater.
