If you are using the AquaStar for combined space heating and potable water heating (see
schematic diagram below), all piping and other components connected to the system must
be suitable for potable water, (b) toxic chemicals such as those commonly used for boiler
treatment to prevent corrosion and freezing must not be introduced into the system, and
(c) if the space heating requires water temperatures higher than those required for do-
mestic, potable water, a mixing valve or other similar device must be provided to reduce
scald hazard potential, (d) maximum system water temperature must not exceed 140°F
(60°C). DO NOT CONVERT AN EXISTING, CLOSED HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEM TO A
COMBINATION SPACE AND POTABLE WATER HEATING SYSTEM USING THE AQUASTAR
OR ANY OTHER HEAT SOURCE.
Open loop potable water and combination space heating system*
* To be used with a tank, check local codes. May not be permitted in some jurisdictions.
GENERAL RULES TO FOLLOW
FOR SAFE OPERATION
1. You should follow these instructions when you install
your heater. In the United States: The installation must
conform with local codes or, in the absence of local codes,
the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.
In Canada: The Installation should conform with CGA
B149.(1,2) INSTALLATION CODES and/or local installation
codes.
2. Carefully plan where you install the heater. Correct
combustion air supply and flue pipe installation are very
important. If not installed correctly, fatal accidents can be
caused by lack of air, carbon monoxide poisoning or fire.
3. The place where you install the heater must have enough
ventilation. The National Fire Codes do not allow gas fired
water heater installation in bathrooms, bedrooms or any
occupied rooms normally kept closed. See the section below
on locating the heater.
4. You must vent your heater. See section on VENTING,
Page 6.
5. The appliance must be disconnected from the gas supply
piping system during any pressure testing at pressures in
excess of 1/2 Psig (3.5 kPa).
The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at
test pressures equal to or more than 1/2 Psig (3.5kPa).
The appliance and its gas connection must be leak tested
before placing the appliance in operation.
6. Keep water heater area clear and free from combustibles
and flammable liquids. Do not locate the heater over any
material which might burn.
*Pipe PRV to appropriate discharge
**Tempering valve is required when tank water temperature is over
130 F.
Notes
1. Maximum to tank water temperature from 125 BL 140°F
2. Maximum heating capacity: 40°F rise
20°F rise
AquaStar 125BL - 80,000 BTU/hr
40,000 BTU/hr
3. System shown is electric storage tank with recirculating supply
drawn from the tapping for the lower heating element.
4. If circulation flow to the Aquastar 125BL is restricted, it may be
necessary to adjust the temperature slide control to prevent
overheating.
5. Schematic is for illustration and example only and must not be used
for actual installation without appropriate engineering and technical
advice from a professional properly licensed in the locality where
the installation is made.
