GE GeoSpring™ Internal Collector Storage (ICS) Solar Water Heater

DIMENSIONS AND INSTALLATION INFORMATION (IN INCHES)

LOC A L IN STALLATION REGUL ATIONS: This water heater must be installed
in accordance with these instructions, local codes, utility codes, utility company
requirements or, in the absence of local codes, the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code. It is available from some local libraries or can be purchased from
the National Fire Prevention Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02169 as
booklet ANSI/NFPA 70. The solar energy system shall comply with building code,
plumbing code, mechanical code, and fire code adopted by the authority having
jurisdiction or, in the absence of such codes, with the International Building Code,
International Plumbing Code, International Mechanical Code, and International
Fire Code.

INSTALLATION I N FORMATION: For complete information, see installation
instruction packed with your water heater.

RELIEF VALVE: CAUTION RISK OF UNIT DAMAGE - THE PRESSURE
RATING OF THE RELIEF VALVE MUST NOT EXCEED 60 PSI (413.6 KPA),
THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF THE WATER HEATER AS
MARKED ON THE RATING PLATE.

A listed and labeled pressure-relief valve (combined non-return/safety valve) is
supplied and must remain installed in the opening provided and marked for the
purpose on the water heater. No valve of any type should be installed between the
relief valve and the tank. Local codes shall govern the installation of relief valves.

The BTUH rating of the relief valve must not be less than the input rating of the
water heater as indicated on the rating label located on the heater (1 watt=3.412 BTUH).

Connect the outlet of the relief valve to a suitable open drain so that the discharge water
cannot contact live electrical parts or persons and to eliminate potential water damage.

Piping used should be of a type approved for hot water distribution. The discharge
line must be no smaller than the outlet of the valve and must pitch downward from
the valve to allow complete drainage (by gravity) of the relief valve and discharge
line. The end of the discharge line should not be threaded or concealed and should
be protected from freezing. No valve of any type, restriction or reducer coupling
should be installed in the discharge line.

RELIEF VALVE (CONT.) : CAUTION RISK OF SCALD AND
PROPERTY DAMAGE

To reduce the risk of excessive pressures in this water heater,
install pressure protective equipment required by local codes
and no less than a pressure relief valve certified by a nationally
recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection
of production of listed equipment or materials. This valve must
be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the
marked maximum working pressure of the water heater. Install
the valve into an opening provided and marked for this purpose
in the water heater, and orient it or provide tubing so that any
discharge from the valve exits only within 6 inches above, or at
any distance below, the structural floor, and does not contact any
live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or
reduced in size under any circumstances.
