regulator and remove the feedback tube 
(See Figure 7.9). 
 
3. Using a 1-1/16” wrench or an adjustable 
wrench loosen and remove the 12” flexible 
gas hose.

7.7 HEAT EXCHANGER WATER SIDE
INSPECTION
Per CSD-1, the water side of the heat exchanger 
requires an inspection. To inspect the heat ex-
changer, proceed as follows: 
 
1. Shut off AC power to the unit. 
 
2. Close the supply and return valves to the 
unit (Fig 7.10).
 
3. Open the drain valve and allow the unit to 
fully drain. The 1/4 inch plug in the top of 
the shell may be removed to aid in drainage 
or the relief valve may be opened (Fig 7.10). 
 
4. Remove the 2 ½ inch plug located in the 
shell at the rear of the unit (Fig. 7.11).
 
5. Remove the relief valve, drain valve 
(Fig. 7.10) and any reducing bushings.
 
6. Perform the inspection and reassemble the 
unit once the inspection is completed.
 
7. Open the supply and return valves and 
reconnect AC power to the unit.
