Type NWHO-6
Circulation Heaters (for
Regular and Fuel Oil Heating)
The NWHO-6 series is a general-purpose regular and fuel oil
solution circulation heater intended for use indoors. It is designed
for 150 psig at 550˚F per ANSI standards.
The 6 steel-sheathed tubular elements are centered in a 5”
diameter galvanized steel heating chamber and welded to a
removable galvanized steel flange. The assembly is surrounded
by 1-1/2” insulation and sheet metal jacket.
Depending upon the order specifications, the NWHO-6 may
or may not be factory equipped with an AR or other Chromalox
thermostat. (Note: UL listed models are factory pre-set with a
212˚F limit stop.) Such thermostats function to control outlet temperatures and to limit internal temperatures under abnormal flow
conditions. These controls do not fail safe.
WARNING: Users should install adequate back-up controls and safety devices with their electric heating equipment. Where the consequences of failure may be severe,
back-up controls are essential. Although the safety of the
installation is the responsibility of the user, Chromalox
will be glad to make equipment recommendations.
Caution: Hazard of Electric Shock. Disconnect all
power before installing heater.
1. Vertical Mounting (Preferred) —
When the heater is vertically mounted, the terminal housing will
be at the top of the heater. The inlet pipe will be located on the side
near the bottom of the heater and the outlet pipe at the top.
The axis of the chamber will be in a vertical position as in the
photo above and as in Figure A.
Note: A drain pipe located at the bottom of the heater should be provided and enough room left, when mounting heater, to allow draining
the heater.
2. Horizontal Mounting (Optional) —
When mounting heater horizontally, inlet and outlet pipes must
be up. In any other position, heater cannot be purged of air, and
elements may be seriously damaged. (See Figure B.)

WARNING: Hazard of Electric Shock. Any installation
involving electric heaters must be grounded to earth
to eliminate shock hazard.
1. Be sure line voltage matches heater voltage (on nameplate).
2. Electric wiring to heater must be installed in accordance with
local and National Electrical Codes.
3. Power controllers must be used when heaters are rated 3 phase
and when the heater amperage exceeds to rating of the thermostat.
4. Refer to Wiring Diagram Table B, for the proper wiring diagram
for connecting
heater.

INSTALLATION
3. Whether vertically or horizontally, the heater should be rigidly
mounted so that vibration is at a minimum since excessive
vibration will result in erratic thermostat operation. The
NWHO-6 is provided with mounting lugs to support the heating chamber. (See photo.)
4. By using a slotted mounting assembly on either of the lugs,
the heater chamber will be permitted to expand with increasing temperature.
5. DANGER: Hazard of Fire. Provide minimum of 6” spacing
from chamber and related piping to nearest combustible material.
Avoid operation of heater near combustible fluids or in combustible vapor or gas laden atmosphere. NOTE: Contact factory
for heaters suitable for use in hazardous locations.
6. Provide adequate space at terminal end to permit withdrawal
of the heater from chamber should servicing be required.
