requIred abIlIty
Installation and service of this water heater requires ability
equivalent to that of a qualified agency (page 2) in the field involved.
Plumbing and electrical work is required.
General
The installation must conform with these instructions and the local
code authority having jurisdiction and the requirements of the power
company. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply
with the current editions of the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70 or
the Canadian Electrical Code CSA C22.1. The National Electrical
Code may be ordered from: National Fire Protection Association,
1 Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. The Canadian Electrical
Code is available from the Canadian Standards Association, 8501
East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131.
Note: To comply with NSF Standard 5 installation requirements the
bottom of the water heater must be sealed to the floor with a silicone
based sealant or elevated 6 inches above the floor.
Do not test electrical system before heater is filled with water,
follow the START UP procedure in the OPERATION section of
this manual.
The principal components of the heater are identified in the Features
and Components illustration in Figure 2.
MIXING VALVE USAGE:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to
a temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing,
dish washing, cleaning and other sanitizing needs can scald and
permanently injure you upon contact. Some people are more likely
to be permanently injured by hot water than others. These include
the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/developmentally
disabled. If anyone using hot water in your home fits into one of these
groups or if there is a local code or state law requiring a maximum
water temperature at the hot water tap, then you must take special
precautions. In addition to using the lowest possible temperature
setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a
MIXInG ValVe should be used at the hot water taps used by these
people or at the water heater.
MIXInG ValVes for reducing point of use temperature are
available. Consult a qualified installer or service agency. Follow all
manufacturer’s Instructions for installation of these valves. Before
changing the factory setting on the thermostat, read the “Temperature
Regulation” section in this manual.
contaMInated water
This water heater shall not be connected to any heating system(s)
or component(s) used with a non-potable water heating appliance.
Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment shall not
be introduced into this system.
Products of this sort should not be stored near the heater. Also, air
which is brought in contact with the water heater should not contain
any of these chemicals. If necessary, uncontaminated air should be
obtained from remote or outside sources.
cIrculatInG puMp
Field installed circulating pumps should be of all bronze
construction.
teMperature-pressure relIef ValVe
This water heater is provided with a properly rated/sized and
certified combination temperature - pressure relief valve by the
11 manufacturer. The valve is certified by a nationally recognized
testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of
listed equipment of materials as meeting the requirements for Relief
Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 • CSA 4.4, and
the code requirements of ASME.
If replaced, the new valve must meet the requirements of local
codes, but not less than a combination temperature and pressure
relief valve rated/sized and certified as indicated in the above
paragraph. The new valve must be marked with a maximum set
pressure not to exceed the marked hydrostatic working pressure of
the water heater (150 psi = 1,035 kPa) and a discharge capacity not
less than the water heater Btu/hr or KW input rate as shown on the
water heater’s model rating plate.
