COMMERCIAL ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS
CONVERSION KIT INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Model 105, 108 &112
This conversion kit shall be installed by
qualified service personnel only. The conversion shall be carried out in accordance
with the requirements of the local authorities having jurisdiction; and local and
national electrical codes.
Disconnect from power supply before
attempting the conversion procedure.
Additional safety lockout procedures may
be required! Read all instructions before
proceeding with the conversion procedure.

The purpose of this manual is to explain how to change the
voltage, wattage or phase of your commercial electric water
heater by changing the wiring configuration or the elements.
This manual is not intended to explain the rebuilding of commercial electric water heaters in the field.
The addition or removal of heating elements originally
supplied with the water heater is not permitted by CSA
International. This modification shall not be attempted.
IMPORTANT
READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE BEGINNING THE CONVERSION. PROPER CONVERSION
WILL PROVIDE SAFE AND EFFICIENT SERVICE, AND AVOID NEEDLESS EXPENSE NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY. SHOULD YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR LOCAL DEALER OR REFER
TO THE
THIS MANUAL FOR FUTURE REFERENCES.

Conversion Kit
This conversion kit shall contain the following items:
— One (1) conversion kit instruction manual;
— Two (2), three (3), four (4) six (6) or nine (9) replacement elements with gaskets
(Depending on the conversion kit model number);
— Four (4) 5/8” screws per element;

Note: Always make sure kits are complete before starting the conversion process.
Conversion Guidelines
l
Water heater model number allowed for conversion must start with the following: 105, 108 or 112 and must have
been manufactured after January 1st, 2013 (see rating plate);
l
No addition or removal of heating elements is allowed in the conversion process;
l
Conversion kits for 208V, 240V, 277V and 480V are designed for specific voltages with “Delta” configuration. No
other voltage or configuration is allowed;
l
Conversion kits for 600V models are supplied with 347V elements because of the “Star” wiring configuration.
CAUTION: The 600V Models cannot be converted to any other voltages.
Conversion Tables
Refer to Table 1 for 208V,
240V, 277V and 480V Models
Refer to Table 2
for 600V Models

CONVERSION FOR 208V, 240V, 277V AND 480V MODELS
1. Find the “Number of elements” in the water heater you wish to
convert
2. In Table 1, find the “Number of elements” in the water heater to be
converted (4th digit of model number on the rating plate, see page 2).
3. Then, move across the Table 1 on the same line to the “Desired
Voltage”. The appropriate Conversion Kit part number will be the
one where the “Desired total input” line intersects the “Desired
Voltage” column.
