NOTE: Above chart is based on boiler size conforming to the minimum BTU/H required to achieve first hour ratings. The mass of the
boiler will affect recovery time. More boiler mass equals longer recovery time.
C. LOCATING THE WATER HEATER
This water heater is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping system as possible. Also, locate the water heater and domestic
water piping where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All piping should be insulated. Additionally, place the water heater
so that the drain, controls, and inlets/outlets are easily accessible.
This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.
Locate the water heater where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to
surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. The water heater should be located near a floor drain, or installed in a drain pan. HTP
WILL NOT be held liable for leakage damages.

If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown, 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. ANODE ROD
This water heater is equipped with a magnesium anode rod. Anode rods are sacrificial components that counteract water chemistry to
minimize or eliminate tank corrosion.
The anode rod should be inspected annually and replaced as necessary to prolong tank life. Have the supply water quality
professionally analyzed, as local water conditions will influence the duration for inspection and replacement of anode rod.
The use of a water softener may increase the speed of anode consumption. More frequent inspection of the anode is needed when
using softened or treated water.
Water with high sulfate and/or mineral content can produce a rotten egg odor in heated water. Chlorinating the water supply may
minimize this problem.
NOTE: Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the
warranty.
