B. How the Heater Operates
Modulating Condensing Technology is an intelligent system
that delivers highly ecient water heating, maximizing
eciency by measuring the data parameters of your water
heating system. Some of its features are:
Stainless Steel Water Storage Tank
The stainless steel water storage tank has a combustion
chamber submerged into the tank water. When the water heater
is red, combustion gases heat the combustion chamber walls,
transferring heat directly into the surrounding water. These hot
gases are blown into secondary heat exchanger coils, where
more heat from these gases is transferred into the water.
Modulating Combustion System
The control monitors the water heating system and
temperatures, regulating burner output during operation to
match system demand. This increase in eciency allows for
substantial fuel savings.
Gas Valve
The gas valve senses suction from the blower, allowing gas to
ow only if the gas valve is energized and combustion air is
owing.
Upper Outlet Tank Sensor
This sensor monitors the upper portion water temperature
(outlet) of the water heater. The control module adjusts burner
ring rate so the outlet water temperature meets the set point.
Lower Inlet Tank Sensor
This sensor monitors the lower portion water temperature (inlet)
of the water heater. The control module reduces or increases
input, depending on how close the inlet water temperature is to
the outlet water temperature set point.
Control
The integrated control system monitors upper and lower water
temperature and adjusts fan speed to regulate the heater’s
energy output. This allows the unit to deliver the required
amount of heated energy and nothing more.
Burner
Constructed of high grade stainless steel, the burner uses premixed air and gas and provides a wide range of ring rates.
Condensate Drain System
This is a condensing high eciency water heater with a
condensate removal system. Condensate is nothing more than
water vapor derived from combustion products, similar to that
of an automobile when it is initially started. It is very important
that the condensate line slopes away from the water heater and
down to a suitable inside drain.
If the condensate outlet on the heater is lower than the drain, us
a condensate removal pump (Part # 554200, available from
HTP). In addition, local authorities may require an additional
condensate neutralizer to neutralize the condensate.
Condensate neutralizers are made up of lime crystals, marble,
or phosphate chips. Neutralizers can be installed in the eld
by the installer and purchased from HTP (p/n 7450P-212).
It is also very important not to expose the condensate line to
freezing temperatures or any type of blockage. Plastic tubing
must be the only material used for the condensate line. Steel,
brass, copper, or other materials will be subject to corrosion
or deterioration. A second vent may be necessary to prevent
condensate line vacuum lock on a long horizontal run. Also,
an increase in pipe size may be necessary to allow condensate
to drain properly. Support of the condensate line may be
necessary to avoid blockage of the condensate ow.
Spark Ignition
The burner ame is ignited by applying high voltage to the
system spark electrode. This causes a spark from electrode to
ground.
Outdoor Sensor
Monitors outdoor temperature and adjusts set point to
provide greater eciency.
C. Optional Equipment
Optional equipment available from HTP (and Part #):
Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the heater to
be moved into its installation location.
COLD WEATHER HANDLING - If the water heater has
been stored in a very cold location (BELOW 0oF) before
installation, handle with care until the components come to
room temperature. Failure to do so could result in damage to
the water heater.
Carefully consider installation when determining heater
location. Please read the entire manual before attempting
installation. Failure to properly take factors such as heater
venting, piping, condensate removal, and wiring into account
before installation could result in wasted time, money, and
possible property damage and personal injury.
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16

A. Locating the Water Heater
This water heater is certied for indoor use only. DO NOT
INSTALL OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT
covered by warranty. Failure to install the water heater
indoors could result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the
heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that
the installation location adheres to the information included
in this manual. Failure to do so could result in property
damage, serious personal injury, or death. Failure of heater
or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT
covered by product warranty.
This water heater must be installed upright in the vertical
position as described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to
install this water heater in any other orientation. Doing so
will result in improper water heater operation and property
damage, and could result in serious personal injury or death.
1. Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions
• Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32
0oC and lower than 104oF / 40oC
• Prevent the air from becoming contaminated by the
products, places, and conditions listed in this manual
• Avoid continuously high levels of humidity
• Never close existing ventilation openings
• Ensure a minimum 1” clearance around hot water and
exhaust vent pipes
• NOTE: To prevent condensing in the fan, it is
recommended to avoid prolonged exposure to
temperatures below 45
o
F
This water heater has a condensate disposal system that
may freeze if exposed to sustained temperatures below 32oF.
Precautions should be taken to protect the condensate trap
and drain lines from sustained freezing conditions. Failure
to take precautions could result in property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
2. Check for nearby connections to:
• System water piping
• Venting connections
• Gas supply piping
• Electrical power
• Condensate drain
3. Check area around heater. Remove any combustible
materials, gasoline, and other ammable liquids.

combustible materials, liquids, and vapors can result in
substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
o
F /
7
The service life of the water heater’s exposed metallic surfaces,
such as the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat
exchanger, are directly inuenced by proximity to damp and
salty marine environments. In such areas higher concentration
levels of chlorides from sea spray coupled with relative humidity
can lead to degradation of water heater components. In these
environments, heaters must not be installed using direct vent
systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such heaters
must be installed using room air for combustion. Indoor air
will have a much lower relative humidity, and hence potential
corrosion will be minimized.
High heat sources (generating heat 100oF / 37oC or greater, such
as boiler ue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic
components of the water heater as well as plastic vent pipe
materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is
recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high
heat sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions,
as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws,
regulations, and ordinances when installing this water heater
and related components near high heat sources.
Locate the water heater where any leakage from the relief valve,
related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage
to surrounding areas or lower oors of the building. The water
heater should be located near a oor drain or installed in a drain
pan. Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Failure of the water heater or components due to incorrect
operating conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
4. Gas control system components must be protected from
dripping water during operation and service.
5. If the heater is to replace an existing heater, check for and
correct any existing system problems, such as:
• System leaks
• Location that could cause the system and heater to
freeze and leak
• Incorrectly sized expansion tank
6. Clean and ush system when reinstalling a heater.
NOTE: When installing in a zero clearance location, it may
not be possible to read or view some product labeling. It is
recommended to make note of the heater model and serial
number.
NOTE: A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable
front clearance.
B. Leveling
In order for the condensate to properly ow out of the collection
system, the area where you locate the heater must be level.
Location must also fully support the weight of the lled water
heater.
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
Page 8

C. Clearances for Service Access
All water heaters eventually leak. It is recommended to install
a catch pan beneath the water heater. This catch pan should be
sized with a maximum depth of 2”, and a minimum diameter 2”
greater than the diameter of the water heater. The catch pan
should empty into an open drain line. This drain line should be
3/4” ID minimum, piped to an open drain. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage. Such damages
ARE NOT covered by product warranty.
D. Residential Garage and Closet Installations
Check with your local Authority Having Jurisdiction for
requirements when installing the water heater in a garage
or closet. Please read the entire manual before attempting
installation. Failure to properly take factors such as venting,
piping, condensate removal, and wiring into account before
installation could result in wasted time, money, and possible
property damage and personal injury.
Precautions
If the heater is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
• Install the water heater burner and ignition devices a
minimum of 18” above the oor of the garage. This will
ensure the burner and ignition devices are well o the
oor.
• When raising the water heater ensure the entire
bottom and fully lled weight of the water heater are
fully supported.
• Locate or protect the water heater so it cannot be
damaged by a moving vehicle.
The space must be provided with correctly sized combustion/
ventilation air openings for all other appliances located in the
space with the water heater. For power venting installations
using room air for combustion, refer to the venting section,
this manual, for descriptions of conned and unconned
spaces. Do not install the water heater in an attic. Failure
to comply with these warnings could result in substantial
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Figure 1 - Catch Pan Dimensions and Recommended Service
Clearances
NOTE: In addition, on PHM models, it is recommended to
provide a minimum service clearance of 6” from the top of the
water heater to allow for piping of the top ports. Depending
on the installation, this clearance may need to be substantially
greater than 6”.
NOTE: If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in
Figure 1 it might not be possible to service the heater without
removing it from the space.
The space must be provided with combustion / ventilation air
openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the
same space as the heater. The heater cover must be securely
fastened to prevent the heater from drawing air from the
heater room. This is particularly important if the heater is in a
room with other appliances. Failure to comply with the above
warnings could result in substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death.
E. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe
The heater is rated ANSI Z21.10.3 Category IV (pressurized
vent, likely to form condensate in the vent) and requires a
special vent system designed for pressurized venting.
NOTE: The venting options described here (and further
detailed in the Venting section, this manual) are the lone
venting options approved for this water heater. Failure
to vent the water heater in accordance with the provided
venting instructions will void the warranty.
Failure to vent the water heater properly will result in serious
personal injury or death.
Do not attempt to vent this water heater by any means other
than those described in this manual. Doing so will void the
warranty and may result in severe personal injury or death.
Vents must be properly supported. Heater exhaust and
intake connections are not designed to carry heavy weight.
Vent support brackets must be within 1’ of the heater and
the balance at 4’ intervals. Heater must be readily accessible
for visual inspection for rst 3’ from the water heater. Failure
to properly support vents could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
The exhaust discharged by this water heater may be very hot.
Avoid touching or other direct contact with the exhaust gases
of the vent termination assembly. Doing so could result in
severe personal injury or death.
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
Page 9
1. Direct Vent of Exhaust and Intake
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn
from the outdoors directly into the water heater intake and
exhaust must terminate outdoors. There are three basic direct
vent options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2.
Roof Venting, and 3. Unbalanced Venting.
Be sure to locate the heater such that the exhaust vent and
intake piping can be routed through the building and properly
terminated. Dierent vent terminals can be used to simplify
and eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure
(see Optional Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust
vent and intake piping lengths, routing, and termination
methods must all comply with the methods and limits given
in the Venting Section, this manual.
When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care
must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air. To
prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
2. Indoor Combustion Air in Conned or Unconned Space
This heater requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe
operation and must be installed in a mechanical room where
there is adequate combustion and ventilating air. NOTE: To
prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space
has adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or
louver to supply sucient combustion air based on the water
heater input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to
the water heater. If the water heater is installed in areas where
indoor air is contaminated (see Table 2) it is imperative that the
water heater be installed as direct vent so that all combustion
air is taken directly from the outdoors into the water heater
intake connection.
Unconned space is space with volume greater than 50
cubic feet per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the
total input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in
that space. Rooms connected directly to this space through
openings not furnished with doors are considered part of the
space. See Venting Section for details.
Conned space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 BTU/hr (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input
rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.
Rooms connected directly to this space through openings not
furnished with doors are considered part of the space.
When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally
constructed building to a conned space, such space should
be provided with two permanent openings: one located 6”
(15 cm) below the space ceiling, the other 6” (15cm) above
the space oor. Each opening should have a free area of one
2
square inch per 1,000 BTU/hr (22cm
/kW) of the total input of
all appliances in the space, but not less than 100 square inches
(645cm2).
If the conned space is within a building of tight construction,
air for combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as
outlined in the Venting section of this manual.
When drawing combustion air from the outside into the
mechanical room, care must be taken to provide adequate
freeze protection.
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can
cause poisonous ue gases to enter the living space, resulting
in severe personal injury or death. To prevent combustion air
contamination, see Table 2.
F. Prevent Combustion Air Contamination
Install intake air piping for the heater as described in the Venting
Section, this manual. Do not terminate exhaust in locations that
can allow contamination of intake air.
Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants
in Table 2. Contaminated air will damage the heater, resulting in
possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death. For example, do not pipe intake air near a swimming pool
or laundry facilities. These areas always contain contaminants.

When removing an existing heater, follow the steps below.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch to determine if there is blockage, leakage,
corrosion, or other deciencies that could cause an unsafe
condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows, and doors
between the space in which the water heater remains connected
to the common venting system and other spaces in the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to
the common venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such as
range hoods and bathroom exhausts, at maximum speed. Do
not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close all replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the
lighting instructions. Adjust the thermostat so the appliance will
operate continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5
minutes of main burner operation. Use the ame of a match or
candle or smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining
connected to the common venting system properly vents
when tested as outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
replace dampers, and any other gas burning appliances to their
previous condition of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting system
should be corrected to conform to the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the common venting
system, the system should approach the minimum size as
determined using the appropriate tables in Appendix G of ANSI
Z223.1.
H. Water Chemistry Requirements
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may aect
eciency and cause severe damage to the water heater
and associated equipment. HTP recommends having water
quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is
necessary to install a water softener. It is important that the
water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central
heating sides are checked before installing the water heater,
as water quality will aect the reliability of the system. In
addition, operating temperatures above 135oF will further
accelerate the build-up of lime scale and may shorten the
service life of the water heater. Failure of a water heater due
to lime scale build-up, low pH, or other chemical imbalance IS
NOT covered by the warranty.
Outlined below are water quality parameters that need to be
met in order for the system to operate eciently for many
years.
Water Hardness
Water hardness is mainly due to the presence of calcium and
magnesium salts dissolved in water. The concentration of
these salts is expressed in mg/L, ppm, or grains per gallon
as a measure of relative water hardness. Grains per gallon is
the common reference used in the US water heater industry.
Hardness expressed as mg/L or ppm may be divided by 17.1
to convert to grains per gallon. Water may be classied as
very soft, slightly hard, moderately hard, or hard based on
its hardness number. The minerals in the water precipitate
out as the water is heated and cause accelerated lime scale
accumulation on a heat transfer surface. This lime scale
build-up may result in premature failure of the water heater.
Operating temperatures above 135oF will further accelerate
the build-up of lime scale and may shorten the service life of
the water heater.
Water that is classied as hard and very hard must be softened
to avoid water heater failure.
Figure 2 - CO Warning Label
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
CLASSIFICATIONMG/L OR PPMGRAINS/GAL
Soft0 - 17.10 - 1
Slightly Hard17.1 - 601 - 3.5
Moderately Hard60 - 1203.5 - 7
Hard120 - 1807 - 10.5
Very Hard180 and over10.5 and over
If the hardness of the water exceeds the maximum level of 7
grains per gallon, the water should be softened to a hardness
level no lower than 5 grains per gallon. Water softened as low
as 0 to 1 grain per gallon may be under-saturated with respect
to calcium carbonate, resulting in water that is aggressive and
corrosive.
pH of Water
pH is a measure of relative acidity, neutrality, or alkalinity.
Dissolved minerals and gases aect water pH. The pH scale
ranges from 0 to 14. Water with a pH of 7 is considered neutral.
Water with pH lower than 7 is considered acidic. Water with a
pH higher than 7 is considered alkaline. A neutral pH (around
7) is desirable for most potable water applications. Corrosion
damage and tank failures resulting from water pH levels
Page 11
of lower than 6 or higher than 8 ARE NOT covered by
warranty. The ideal pH range for water used in a water heater
is 7.2 to 7.8.
Total Dissolved Solids
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a measurement of all minerals
and solids dissolved in a water sample. The concentration of
TDS is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm).
Water with a high TDS concentration will greatly accelerate
lime and scale formation in the hot water system. Most high
TDS concentrations precipitate out of the water when heated.
This can generate a scale accumulation that will greatly reduce
the service life of the water heater.
The manufacturer of the water heater has no control over
water quality, especially TDS levels in your system. TDS in
excess of 2000 ppm will accelerate lime and scale formation
on the element or the heat exchanger. Water heater failure
due to TDS in excess of 2000 ppm IS NOT covered by warranty.
Failure of a water heater due to lime scale build-up IS NOT
covered by warranty.
Hardness: Less than 7 grains
Chloride levels: Less than 100 ppm
pH levels: 6 - 8
TDS: Less than 2000 ppm
Sodium: Less than 20 mG/L

Part 4 - Piping
Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the
warranty and may result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
Dielectric unions or galvanized steel ttings must not be used
in a system with this water heater. Doing so WILL VOID the
warranty. Use only copper, brass, or stainless steel ttings.
Teon thread sealant must be used on all connections.
DO NOT pipe this water heater with black iron, galvanized
steel, steel, or lead pipe. Doing so will result in premature
product failure and property damage, and WILL VOID the
warranty.
A. Heater Plumbing
Use two wrenches when tightening water piping at heater.
Use one wrench to prevent the heater return or supply line
from turning. Failure to prevent piping connections from
turning could cause damage to heater components.
The heater control module uses temperature sensors
to provide both high limit protection and modulating
temperature control. The control module also provides low
water protection by sensing the water level in the tank. Some
codes / jurisdictions may require additional external controls.
The domestic water connections must be installed in
accordance to all local and national plumbing codes, or any
applicable standard which prevails. The inlet (cold) and outlet
(hot) ports are 1” on 55 gallon models, and 1 1/2” on 80 and 119
gallon models.
On the cold inlet, install a 1” brass tee on 55 gallon models, or
a 1 1/2” tee on 80 and 119 gallon models. On the run of the 1”
brass tee, install a 1” brass drain cock or equivalent with pipe
sealant compound. In the branch of the 1” or 1 1/2” brass tee,
install a copper male adapter to match your copper plumbing
system. For convenience, it is recommended to install a sweat
shut-o valve and a union in the cold inlet piping and hot outlet
to ease future servicing. If there is a backow preventer or any
type of a no return valve in the system, install an additional
tee here, suitable for a potable hot water expansion tank.
In the hot outlet, install a suitable adapter to match the
copper tubing of the plumbing system. A thermal trap or heat
trap loop may be installed here to provide additional energy
savings and prevent the thermal siphoning of domestic hot
water.
B. Auxiliary Connections
The auxiliary connections are additional connections for a
recirculation connection, air handlers, plate exchangers, or
other devices that supply hot water. These connections must
be installed in accordance with all local and national codes or
any applicable standard that prevails. Auxiliary connections
are 1” on all models. Never use dielectric unions or galvanized
steel ttings. Use only copper or brass ttings. Sealant must
be used on all connections. The top port is the outlet and the
bottom port is the inlet.
Never connect auxiliary connections to any system that uses
glycol or other solutions formulated for hydronic systems.
These auxiliary connections are to be used only in a potable
water system. Failure to follow this warning could result in
serious injury or death.
C. Backow Preventer
Use a backow preventer specically designed for water heater
installations. This valve should be installed on the cold water ll
supply line per local codes.
D. Potable Expansion Tank
A potable hot water expansion tank is required to oset heated
water expansion. In most city plumbing systems, the water
meter has a no return or back ow device built into the system to
prevent back owing of water into city mains. Some local codes
require back ow preventers on all incoming water supplies. The
hot water expansion tank must be listed for potable water use.
The expansion tank should be located on the cold inlet piping
close to the water heater.
Expansion Tank and Make-Up Water
1. Ensure that the expansion tank is sized to correctly handle
heater and system water volume and temperature.
Undersized expansion tanks cause system water to be lost from
the relief valve, causing make-up water to be added. Eventual
heater failure can result due to excessive make-up water
addition. SUCH FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
The expansion tank must be suitable for hot potable water
systems.
2. The expansion tank must be located as shown in Applications,
this manual, or following recognized design methods. See
expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for details.
E. Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
Overheated water and high pressures can cause water tank
explosion. A properly sized temperature and pressure relief
valve must be installed in the opening provided on the water
heater. Failure to install a properly sized temperature and
pressure relief valve could result in explosion and property
damage, serious injury, or death.
To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:
• Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet
and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the
discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of
severe burns or property damage should the relief valve
discharge.
• Discharge line must be as short as possible and the same
size as the valve discharge connection throughout its
entire length.
• Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve
and terminate at least 6” above the oor drain, making
discharge clearly visible.
• The discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded,
with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375oF or
greater.
• Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
Page 15
15
could occur.
• No valve may be installed between the relief valve and
heater or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any
obstruction in the discharge line.
• Test the operation of the relief valve after lling and
pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure
the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate
correctly, immediately replace with a new properly rated
relief valve.
• Test T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the
waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the
heater “o” and call a plumber immediately.
• Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid
scalding injury or property damage.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES
COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION,
RESULTING IN POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief valve
line under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage,
serious injury, or death may result.
RE-INSPECTION OF T&P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves should
be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, and
replaced if necessary, by a licensed plumbing contractor or
qualied service technician to ensure that the product has not
been aected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that
the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered
with illegally. Certain naturally occuring conditions may corrode
the valve and its components over time, rendering the valve
inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if the valve
and its components are physically removed and inspected. Do not attempt to conduct an inspection on your own. Contact
your plumbing contractor for a re-inspection to assure continued
safety.
FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T&P VALVE AS DIRECTED
COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/OR
PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
F. Scalding
This water heater can
deliver scalding water.
Be careful whenever
using hot water to
avoid scalding injury.
Certain appliances
such as dishwashers
and automatic clothes
washers may require
increased water
temperatures. By
setting the thermostat
on this heater to obtain
the increased water
temperature required
by these appliances you
may create the potential
for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the
water system. This valve will reduce point of use discharge
temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply
lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing
supplier.
Table 4 details the relationship of water temperature and
time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide
in determining the safest water temperature for your
applications.
An ASSE 1017 or ASSE 1070 temperature limiting or mixing
valve is recommended in installations servicing disabled or
elderly persons, or children. Mixing valves do not eliminate
the risk of scalding.
To avoid scalding:
• Set the water heater set point temperature as low as
possible.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• If thermostatic valves are required, use devices
specically designed for such purpose. Install these
devices in accordance with instructions provided by
the manufacturer.
Failure to install a temperature limiting or mixing valve and
follow these instructions could result in property damage,
severe personal injury, or death due to scalds.

G. Filling the Heater
The water heater must be full of water and the system fully
purged BEFORE powering the water heater. When lling the
water heater, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank
and piping. All air has been purged from the system when
water runs freely from the faucets.
Applying power to the water heater when it is not full of water
will damage the heat exchanger, and could result in property
damage, serious personal injury, or death. Such damages
ARE NOT covered by water heater warranty.
• Make certain the drain valve is completely closed.
• Open the shut-o valve in the cold water supply line.
• Open the hot water faucets to allow air to vent from
the heater and piping.
• Allow sucient time for the heater to completely ll
with water.

Part 5 - Venting and Condensate Removal
The heater must be vented as detailed in this section.
Ensure exhaust vent and intake piping complies with these
instructions regarding vent system. Inspect nished exhaust
vent and intake piping thoroughly to ensure all joints are
well secured, airtight, and comply with all applicable code
requirements, as well as the instructions provided in this
manual. Failure to properly install the vent system will result
in severe personal injury or death.
A. General
This heater is certied as a “Category IV” appliance and
requires a special venting system. The vent system will
operate with a positive pressure in the pipe. Exhaust gases
must be piped directly outdoors using the vent materials
and rules outlined in these instructions. Do not connect vent
connectors serving appliances vented by natural draft into
any portion of mechanical draft systems operating under
positive pressure. Follow the venting instructions carefully.
Failure to do so will result in substantial property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
1. Installation should be made in accordance with the
regulations of the Authority Having Jurisdiction, local code
authorities, and utility companies which pertain to this type
of water heating equipment.
2. Install the venting system in accordance with these
instructions and with the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54, CAN/CGA B149, and / or applicable provisions of
local building codes.
3. This water heater must be vented with materials,
components, and systems listed and approved for Category
IV appliances.
Due to the extreme ammability of most glues, cements,
solvents, and primers used to join plastic exhaust vent and
intake pipes, explosive solvent vapors must be cleared from
all vent piping before start-up. Avoid using excess cement or
primer, as this may pool in the vent pipes. Vent assemblies
should be allowed to cure for a period of at least 8 hours
before powering a connected appliance. Failure to follow these
instructions will result in substantial property damage, severe
personal injury, or death. It is the installers’ responsibility to
understand the hazards associated with explosive solvents and
take the necessary precautions to avoid these risks.
Exhaust and intake are to be piped separately. This heater
cannot share a common exhaust or intake with multiple
appliances. Failure to follow these instructions will result
in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
NOTE: To avoid contamination often contained in indoor
air, it is best to pipe all intake combustion air directly to the
outdoors.
NOTE: If exhaust vent pipe system passes through an
unheated space such as an alcove or attic, the space must be
heated.
Improper seating of vent pipe gaskets can cause eventual
gasket failure and exhaust gas leakage. Ensure the exhaust
vent pipe is properly beveled and seated before insertion
into the ue adapter. Failure to do so could result in property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
CPVC, Polypropylene, or Stainless Steel pipe material MUST be
used for the rst 3 feet of the vent run if the exhaust vent passes
through an enclosed space greater than 6”, such as a wall. The
balance of the vent run can be installed with standard Schedule
40 PVC pipe. Failure to comply with this warning could result in
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Exhaust vent adaptors are not designed as load-bearing
devices, and must not be used to support exhaust vent piping.
All vent pipes must be properly connected, supported, and
the exhaust vent must be pitched a minimum of 1/4” per foot
back to the heater to allow drainage of condensate. Failure to
properly support vent piping and follow the information in this
statement could result in product damage, severe personal
injury, or death.

and primer and cement specically designed for the material
used, as listed in the above table. Failure to do so could result in
property damage, serious injury, or death.
High heat sources (generating heat 100oF / 37oC or greater, such
as boiler ue pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic
components of the water heater as well as plastic vent pipe
materials. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is
recommended to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high
heat sources. Observe heat source manufacturer instructions,
as well as local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws,
regulations, and ordinances when installing this water heater
and related components near high heat sources.
NOTE: The use of double-wall vent or insulated material for the
combustion air intake pipe is recommended in cold climates to
prevent the condensation of airborne moisture in the incoming
combustion air.
You must not use “B” vent in an exhaust application. “B” vent
is for intake applications ONLY. Using “B” vent in an exhaust
application will result in serious injury or death.
C. Additional Requirements for Installation in Canada
1. Installations must be made with a vent pipe system certied
to ULC-S636. IPEX is an approved vent manufacturer in Canada
supplying vent material listed to ULC-S636. Additionally,
you may use AL29-4C stainless steel venting to comply with
Canadian requirements.
2. The rst three (3) feet of vent pipe from the water heater
ue outlet must be readily accessible for visual inspection.
3. The components of the certied vent system must not
be interchanged with other vent systems or unlisted pipe /
ttings.

H. Provide 4 feet clearance from center line within a height of 15 feet
above electrical meters, gas meters, gas regulators, relief equipment,
exhaust fans and inlets.
I. Provide 4 feet horizontal clearance from electrical meters, gas
meters, gas regulators, relief equipment, exhaust fans and inlets. In
no case shall the exit terminal be above or below the aforementioned
equipment unless the 4 foot horizontal distance is maintained.
J. This water heater vent system shall terminate at least 3 feet (0.9
m) above any forced air intake located within 10 ft (3 m).
NOTE: This does not apply to the combustion air intake of a directvent appliance.
K. When venting with a two pipe system, maximum distance
between exhaust vent and intake pipe is 6 feet (1.8 m). Minimum
distance between exhaust vent and intake pipe on single direct
vented appliance is 10” (0.255 m) center-to-center. Minimum
distance between exhaust vents and intake pipes on multiple water
heaters is 10” (0.255 m) center-to-center.
L. When adjacent to a public walkway, locate exit terminal at least 7
feet above grade.
In addition:
• Total length of vent piping shall not exceed the limits specied
in this manual.
• The vent piping for this direct vented appliance is approved for
zero clearance to combustible construction.
• The ue products coming from the exhaust vent will create a
large plume when the heater is in operation. Avoid venting in
areas that will aect neighboring buildings or be considered
objectionable.
• DO NOT locate exhaust vent or intake pipe in a parking area
where machinery may damage the pipe.
• DO NOT locate the exhaust vent or intake pipe terminals under
a porch, balcony, or veranda.
• Avoid terminating exhaust vents near shrubs, air conditioners,
or other objects that will obstruct the exhaust stream.
• DO NOT vent over a public walkway. Condensate could drip or
freeze and create a nuisance or hazard.
• NOTE: Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting
may not be the preferred venting option. Carefully consider
venting installation and location to save time and cost.
INSTALLATIONS IN CANADA
NOTE: Canadian installation must comply with the CAN/CSA B149.1
code and applicable local codes and supersede the restrictions for the
United States outlined in this section.
The building owner is responsible for keeping the exhaust
and intake terminations free of snow, ice, or other potential
blockages, as well as scheduling routing maintenance. Failure to
keep the vent piping terminations clear and properly maintain
the heater could result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
For each oor containing bedroom(s), a carbon monoxide
detector and alarm shall be placed in the living area outside
the bedrooms, as well as in the room that houses the heater.

E. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Sizing
1. The exhaust vent and intake pipe size is 2” for 100 and 130kBTU
models and 3” for 160 and 199kBTU models.
2. The maximum total equivalent length of 2” exhaust vent and
intake pipe should not exceed 85 feet. The maximum total
equivalent length of 3” exhaust vent and intake pipe should not exceed 200 feet.
a. The equivalent length of elbows, tees, and other ttings
are listed in the Friction Loss Table.

Equivalent Feet
b. For example: If the exhaust vent has two 90o elbows and
10 feet of PVC pipe we will calculate:
Exhaust Vent Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 10 = 20 feet.
Further, if the intake pipe has two 90o elbows, one 45o elbow,
and 10 feet of PVC pipe, the following calculation applies:
Intake Pipe Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 3 + 10 = 23 feet.
Finally, if a concentric kit is used we nd:
Total Equivalent Length = 20 + 23 + 3 = 46 feet.
The total equivalent length is 46 feet, well below the
maximum of 85 feet for 2” pipe.
c. Eort should be made to keep a minimum dierence in
equivalent length between the exhaust vent and intake pipe.
3. The minimum total equivalent length is 16 feet.
Do not exceed the maximum lengths for vent pipes. Excessive
length could result in heater shutdown and property damage.
Failure to provide a minimum total vent length of 16 equivalent
feet could result in property damage and improper product
operation.
F. Longer Vent Runs
The maximum total equivalent length can be extended by
increasing the diameter of both the exhaust vent and intake
pipes equally. However, the transitions should begin a minimum
of 15 equivalent feet from the water heater.
a. The maximum total equivalent length for increased
diameter vent pipes is 125 feet for 2” transitioning to 3” pipe
(this length includes the minimum 15 total equivalent feet
necessary for transition).
NOTE: 3” vent pipe can be increased in diameter, but total
equivalent length cannot be increased beyond 200 feet.
b. Transitions should always be made in vertical sections of
pipe to prevent the condensate from pooling in the vent
pipe.

Total maximum equivalent length of increased diameter
exhaust vent and intake pipe must not exceed the lengths
dened in this manual. 125 maximum total equivalent feet for
2” increased to 3” vent pipe; 200 maximum total equivalent
feet for any increase to 3” vent pipe diameter. Failure to keep
the total equivalent length below the maximum lengths
determined in this manual will result in faulty water heater
operation, substantial property damage, serious personal
injury, or death.

G. Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Installation
All joints of positive pressure vent systems must be sealed
completely to prevent leakage of ue products into the living
space. Failure to do so could result in property damage,
serious injury, or death.
1. Use only solid PVC, CPVC, or stainless steel pipe or a
Polypropylene vent system approved for use with Category IV
appliances.
FOAM CORE PIPING IS NOT APPROVED FOR EXHAUST
VENT APPLICATIONS. Foam core piping may be used on air
inlet piping only.
2. Remove all burrs and debris from joints and ttings.
3. When using PVC or CPVC pipe, all joints must be properly
cleaned, primed, and cemented. Use only cement and primer
approved for use with the pipe material. Cement must
conform to ASTM D2564 for PVC and ASTM F493 for CPVC
pipe. NOTE: DO NOT CEMENT POLYPROPYLENE PIPE.
4. Ensure the vent is located where it will not be exposed to
prevailing winds.
5. In all roof venting applications, exhaust discharge must
point away from the pitch of the roof.
6. If the exhaust vent is to be terminated in a walled o area
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
Page 24
24
6/23/15
TWO PIPE SIDEWALL VENTING WITH TEE (INTAKE)
AND COUPLING (EXHAUST)
(such as a roof with a parapet wall), ensure the exhaust vent
terminates a minimum of 10’ from nearest wall and extends
level with or above the top of the wall. This will ensure ue gas
does does not get trapped and possibly recirculated into the
intake air pipe, which could contaminate the combustion air.
7. To prevent water leakage, install adequate roof ashing
where the pipe enters the roof.
8. Do not locate vent over public walkways, driveways, or
parking lots. Condensate could drip and freeze, resulting in a
slip hazard or damage to vehicles and machinery.
9. Due to potential moisture build-up, sidewall venting may
not be the preferred venting option. To save time and cost,
carefully consider venting installation and location.
10. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope back
towards the water heater not less than ¼” per foot to allow
condensate to drain from the vent pipe.
11. The exhaust vent must terminate where vapors cannot
make accidental contact with people or pets, or damage
shrubs or plants.
12. In vacant chimney applications, install and seal a rain cap
over existing chimney openings.
13. All piping must be fully supported. Use pipe hangers at a
minimum of 4 foot intervals to prevent sagging of the pipe
where condensate may form.
14. Do not use the heater to support any piping.
15. A screened straight coupling is provided with the heater
for use as an outside exhaust termination.
16. A screened inlet air tee is provided with the heater to be
used as an outside intake termination.
The following table lists optional exhaust/intake terminations
available from HTP:

Take extra precaution to adequately support the weight of vent
pipes terminating through the roof. Failure to properly support
roof terminated piping could result in property damage, serious
injury, or death.
H. Applications
1. Direct Vent Installation of Exhaust and Intake
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn
from the outdoors directly into the water heater intake, and
exhaust must terminate outside. There are three basic direct
vent options detailed in this manual: 1. Side Wall Venting, 2.
Roof Venting, and 3. Unbalanced Venting.
Be sure to locate the heater such that the exhaust vent and
intake pipe can be routed through the building and properly
terminated. Dierent vent terminals can be used to simplify
and eliminate multiple penetrations in the building structure
(see Optional Equipment in Venting Section). The exhaust
vent and intake pipe lengths, routing and termination
methods must all comply with the methods and limits given
in the Venting section of this manual.
When installing a combustion air intake from outdoors, care
must be taken to utilize uncontaminated combustion air.
NOTE: To prevent combustion air contamination, see Table 2.

2. Venting Through an Existing System
This heater may be vented through an existing unused vent
system. The inner diameter of the existing vent system is
utilized for the combustion air source. Two methods have
been approved for such venting: Concentric Venting Through
an Existing System and Venting as a Chase.
Vent / Air Inlet SizeMinimum Existing Vent / Chase Size
2”4”
3”5”
4”7”
Table 10 - Minimum Existing Vent / Chase Sizing
Contractors must check state and local codes before installing
through an existing vent opening. State and local codes always
take precedence over manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to
check state and local codes before installing through an existing
opening could result in property damage and add signicantly
to installation costs.
If an existing venting system is converted for use with this heater,
the installer must ensure that the existing venting system
is clean and free from particulate contamination that could
damage the heater. Failure to do so could result in property
damage and heater failure. Such failure IS NOT covered under
warranty.
Concentric Venting Through an Existing System
NOTE: The following instructions refer only to venting through
an existing vent system, and not to venting with HTP’s optional
concentric vent kits. Refer to Concentric Vent Kit installation
manual (LP-166) for further information on venting with the
optional concentric vent kits.
Concentric venting through an existing system must run
vertically through the roof. See Table 9 for proper minimum
vent sizing. Use only the approved venting materials specied
in Table 5 for piping the system. All instructions listed in this
Venting section apply. See Figures 19-1 and 19-2 for venting
demonstrations.
The upper and lower vent terminations as well as all joints in
the venting system must be properly sealed to ensure that all
combustion air is drawn properly and exhaust does not leak
from the system. Failure to properly seal the venting system
will result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Chase Venting Through an Existing System
When venting as a chase, follow all instructions included in this
Venting section, including those in the previous Concentric
Venting Through an Existing System section. See Figure 19-3 for
chase venting demonstration.
Do not install the heater into a common existing vent with
any other appliance. This will cause ue gas spillage or heater
malfunction, resulting in substantial property damage,
serious personal injury, or death.

3. Indoor Combustion Air in Conned or Unconned Space
This heater requires fresh, uncontaminated air for safe operation
and must be installed in a mechanical room where there is
adequate combustion and ventilating air. NOTE: To prevent
combustion air contamination, see Table 2.
Combustion air from the indoor space can be used if the space
has adequate area or when air is provided through a duct or
louver to supply sucient combustion air based on the water
heater input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the water heater. If the water heater is installed in areas where
indoor air is contaminated (see Figure 20) it is imperative that the
water heater be installed as direct vent so that all combustion air
is taken directly from the outdoors into the water heater intake
connection.
Unconned space is space with volume greater than 50 cubic
feet per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total
input rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.
Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.
Conned space is space with volume less than 50 cubic feet
per 1,000 Btu/hour (4.8 cubic meters per kW) of the total input
rating of all fuel-burning appliances installed in that space.
Rooms connected directly to this space, through openings not
furnished with doors, are considered part of the space.
When drawing combustion air from inside a conventionally
constructed building to a conned space, such space should be
provided with two permanent openings: one located 6” (15 cm)
below the space ceiling, the other 6” (15cm) above the space
oor. Each opening should have a free area of one square inch
per 1,000 Btu/hr (22cm2/kW) of the total input of all appliances
in the space, but not less than 100 square inches (645cm2).
If the conned space is within a building of tight construction, air
for combustion must be obtained from the outdoors as outlined
in the Venting section of this manual. See Figure 21.

I. Condensate Removal System
NOTE: Check with your local gas company to determine if
combustion condensate disposal is permitted in your area. In
the state of Massachusetts, condensate must be neutralized
before entering a drain.
This condensing high eciency water heater has a condensate
removal system. Condensate is water vapor derived from
combustion products, similar to that produced by an automobile
when it is initially started. It is very important that the condensate
line is sloped down away from the heater and to a suitable drain.
If the heater condensate outlet is lower than the drain, you must
use a condensate removal pump (kit p/n 554200 available from
HTP). If required by local authorities, a condensate lter of lime
crystals, marble, or phosphate chips will neutralize slightly acidic
condensate. This can be installed in the eld and purchased from
HTP (p/n 7450P-212).
The condensate line must remain unobstructed. If allowed to
freeze in the line or obstructed in any other manner, condensate
can exit from the water heater tee, resulting in potential water
damage to property. When installing a condensate pump, select
one approved for use with condensing heaters and furnaces. The
condensate pump should have an overow switch to prevent
property damage from spillage. Condensate from the heater
will be slightly acidic (pH from 3.2 to 4.5). Install a neutralizing
lter if required by local codes.
Figure 21 - Indoor and Outdoor Combustion Air - Single Pipe
Power to the optional condensate pump is continuous. When the
water heater is powered o the condensate pump will remain
on. It is important to remember to turn o the condensate pump
when powering down the water heater. Failure to do so could
result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Figure 22 - Condensate Piping
NOTES:
1. Condensate line must be pitched at least ¼” per foot to
properly drain. If this cannot be done, or a very long length
of condensate hose is used, increase the condensate line to a
minimum of 1” ID and place a tee in the line after the condensate
neutralizer to properly reduce vacuum lock in the drain line.
2. PVC or CPVC pipe should be the only material used for
condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, and other metals will be
subject to corrosion or deterioration.
3. A frozen condensate line could result in a blocked vent
condition. It is very important to protect the condensate line from
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
Page 29
freezing temperatures or any type of blockage. In installations
that may encounter sustained freezing conditions, the use of
heat tape is recommended to avoid freezing of the condensate
line. It is also recommended to bush up the condensate line size
to 1” and terminate condensate discharge as close to the unit as
possible. Longer condensate runs are more prone to freezing.
Damages due to frozen or blocked condensate lines ARE NOT
covered by warranty.
4. Support of the condensate line may be necessary to avoid
blockage of the condensate ow.
Part 6 - Wiring
To avoid electrical shock, turn o all power to the heater prior
to opening an electrical box within the unit. Ensure the power
remains o while any wiring connections are being made.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in component or
product failure, serious injury, or death. Such product failure IS
NOT covered by warranty.
Jumping out control circuits or components WILL VOID product
warranty and can result in property damage, personal injury, or
death.
A. Line Voltage Input
The heater must be wired to a 120 volt circuit by a qualied
electrician. It is recommended that the heater be wired on its
own circuit to minimize the possibility of circuit failure due to
outside clauses. The heater requires a maximum of 8 amps at
120 volts in use.
B. Line Voltage Condensate Output
The heater has the capability of supplying power to a condensate
pump. The connection is 120 VAC +/- 10% at a max of 2 amps.
Power is supplied to the pump only when the heater is connected
to power, and the power switch is in the on position.
C. Low Voltage Outdoor Sensor Input
The heater has the capability of an outdoor reset. Connecting
an outdoor sensor allows the heater to operate at optimum
eciency. HTP oers an outdoor sensor, p/n 7250P-319.
The outdoor sensor must be a 12K NTC sensor. Use a minimum
22 AWG wire for runs of 100 feet or less and minimum 18 AWG
wire for runs up to 150 feet. Instructions are included with the
outdoor sensor to correctly mount the sensor on the exterior
surface of the building. It is preferable to mount the sensor
on the north side in an area that will not be aected by direct
sunlight but will be exposed to varying weather conditions.
Connect the outdoor sensor to terminals marked “Outdoor”.
It is of extreme importance that this unit be properly grounded. It
is very important that the building system ground is inspected by
a qualied electrician prior to making this connection. Electrical
power must only be turned on when the heater is completely
lled with cold water. Failure to follow these instructions could
result in component or product failure, serious injury, or death.
An ASSE 1017 thermostatic mixing valve MUST be installed
when using 0-10V or outdoor reset. Failure to do so could result
in substantial property damage, serious injury, or death.
29
Label all wires prior to disconnecting them when servicing
the heater. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous
operation. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
property damage or personal injury.
D. Alarm Connections
The control includes an alarm
output. This circuit is rated at 3 amps
at 120 volts. This contact can be used
to activate an alarm light or bell
or notify a building management
system if the water heater goes into
a lockout condition.
E. Optional 0-10 Volt Building
Control Signal
A signal from a building
management system may be
connected to the water heater to
enable remote control. This signal
should be a 0-10 volt positivegoing DC signal. When this input is
enabled using the installer menu, a
building control system can be used
to control the set point temperature
of the water heater. The control
interprets the 0-10 volt signal as
follows; when the signal is between
0 and 1.5 volts, the water heater
will be in stand-by mode, not ring.
When the signal rises above 1.5
volts, the water heater will ignite. As
the signal continues to rise towards
its maximum of 10 volts, the water
heater will increase in set point
temperature. See Part 10 for details
on the setting of function 16.
NOTE: During 0-10V operation, the
minimum tank temperature set point (default 95oF) will be at
the activation input of 1.5 volts. The maximum temperature
set point value will be at the input voltage of 10 volts. The
maximum temperature set point can be changed by increasing
or decreasing the DU setting (Range: 77oF – 160oF / Default
119oF). Once programmed, the 0-10V feature will change the
set point temperature automatically.
1. Connect a building management system or other auxiliary
control signal to the terminals marked 0-10 VOLT + and
0-10 VOLT – in the electronics assembly (shown in Figure
25). Caution should be used to ensure that the 0-10 VOLT +
connection does not become connected to ground.
2. Conguring the appliance for 0-10 volt operation (change
only the functions in the descriptions below):
a. Press and hold S3 and S4 together for 5 seconds
b. Use S1 and S2 to adjust ashing 000 to code 975. Press S3
until you enter the menu.
c. Use S3 to scroll to Function 16 to enable/disable 0-10 volt
operation. Use S1 and S2 to adjust display to desired setting
(Range: 0 = O, 2 = On / Default O).
d. Press and hold S4 to exit the menu.

Failure to follow all precautions could result in re, explosion,
severe injury, or death.
Ensure the gas on which the water heater will operate is the
same type specied on the rating plate. Failure to do so could
result in water heater malfunction, property damage, personal
injury, or death.
The gas supply shall have a maximum inlet pressure of less
than 14” water column (350 mm), ½ pound pressure (3.5
kPa), and a minimum of 3.5” water column. The entire piping
system, gas meter and regulator must be sized properly to
prevent pressure drop greater than 0.5” WC as stated in the
National Fuel Gas Code. This information is listed on the rating
plate.
It is very important that you are connected to the type of gas
as noted on the rating plate: “LP” for liqueed petroleum,
propane gas, or “Nat” for natural or city gas. All gas

connections must be approved by the local gas supplier or
utility, in addition to the governing authority, prior to turning
the gas supply on.
Do not remove the adaptor in Figure 26! It is mandatory that
this tting is used for connection to a eld fabricated drip leg
per the National Fuel Gas Code. You must ensure that the
entire gas line to the connection at the water heater is no
smaller than 3/4”.
Once all inspections have been performed, the piping must
be leak tested. If the leak test requirement is a higher test
pressure than the maximum gas inlet pressure, you must
isolate the heater from the gas line to continue leak testing.
To do this, you must turn o the factory and eld-installed gas
cocks. This will minimize the possibility of damaging the gas
valve. Failure to do so may damage the gas valve. In the event
the gas valve is exposed to a pressure greater than ½ PSI, 14”
water column, the gas valve must be replaced. Never use an
open ame (match, lighter, etc.) to check gas connections.
UL recognized fuel gas detectors are recommended in
all enclosed propane and natural gas applications where
there is a potential for an explosive mixture of fuel gas to
accumulate. The installation of these detectors should
be made in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s
recommendations, and/or local laws. Failure to install fuel gas
detectors in these applications could result in re, explosion,
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
A. Gas Piping
Run the gas supply line in accordance with all applicable
codes. Locate and install manual shuto valves in accordance
with local and state requirements.
Support gas supply piping with hangers, not by the heater
or its accessories. The heater gas valve and blower will not
support the weight of the piping. Make sure the gas piping
is protected from physical damage and freezing, where
required. Failure to follow these instructions could result in
gas leakage, and result in re, explosion, property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
Do not use Teon tape on gas line pipe thread. Use a pipe
compound rated for use with natural and propane gases.
Apply sparingly on male pipe ends, leaving the two end
threads bare. Failure to follow these instructions could result
in gas leakage, and result in re, explosion, property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.
Figure 26 - Gas Connection
B. Gas Table
Refer to the table below to size the supply piping to minimize
pressure drop between meter or regulator and unit.
Maximum capacity of pipe in cubic feet of gas per hour for gas
pressures of .5 psi or less and a pressure drop of .3 inch water
column.
It is recommended that a soapy solution be used to detect leaks.
Bubbles will appear on the pipe to indicate a leak is present.
The gas piping must be sized for proper ow and length of pipe
to avoid excessive pressure drop. Both the gas meter and the
gas regulator must be properly sized for the total gas load. If
you experience a pressure drop greater than 1” WC, the meter,
regulator or gas line is undersized or in need of service. You can
attach a manometer to the incoming gas drip leg by removing
the cap. The gas pressure must remain between 3.5” WC and
14” WC during stand-by (static) mode and while in operating
(dynamic) mode at full output.
If an in-line regulator is used, it must be a minimum of 10 feet
from the heater. It is very important that the gas line is properly
purged by the gas supplier or utility. Failure to properly purge
the lines or improper line sizing will result in ignition failure.
This problem is especially noticeable in NEW LP installations
and also in empty tank situations. This can also occur when
a utility company shuts o service to an area to provide
maintenance to their lines. The gas valve must not be replaced
with a conventional gas valve under any circumstances. As an
additional safety feature, the gas valve in this water heater has a
anged connection to the swirl plate and blower.
Do not do a gas conversion on this water heater without an
ocially approved conversion kit and instructions supplied
by HTP. Failure to use a conversion kit when converting the
heater to re on Natural or Propane gas will result in extremely
dangerous burner operation, leading to re, explosion, severe
personal injury, or death.
Strain on the gas valve and ttings may result in vibration,
premature component failure and gas leakage, and result in re,
explosion, property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Adjustments to the throttle screw or oset may only be made
by a qualied gas technician using a calibrated combustion
analyzer capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Failure to follow
this instruction could result in re, explosion, property damage,
severe personal injury, or death.

2. BEFORE OPERATING: Smell all around the water heater
area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the oor because some
gas is heavier than air and will settle on the oor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
• Do not try to light any water heater.
• Do not touch any electric switch, do not use any phone
in your building.
• Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s
phone. Follow the gas suppliers’ instructions.
• If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the re
department.
• Turn o the gas shuto valve (located outside the water
heater) so that the handle is crosswise to the gas pipe.
If the handle will not turn by hand, don’t try to force
or repair it, call a qualied service technician. Force or
attempted repair may result in a re or explosion.
4. Do not use this water heater if any part has been under
water. Immediately call a qualied service technician to
inspect the water heater and to replace any part of the control
system and any gas control that has been damaged.
5. The water heater shall be installed so the gas ignition
system components are protected from water (dripping,
spraying, rain, etc.) during water heater operation and

In unusually dirty or dusty conditions care must be taken
to keep water heater burner door in place. Failure to do so
VOIDS warranty.
Allowing the heater to operate with a dirty combustion
chamber will hurt operation. Failure to clean the heat
exchanger as needed by the installation location could result
in heater failure, property damage, personal injury, or death.
Such product failures ARE NOT covered under warranty.
Figure 29 - Sealing the Water Heater for Sanitary Applications
Part 9 - Shutdown
A. Shutdown Procedure
If the burner is not operating, disconnect the electrical supply.
If the burner is operating, lower the set point value to 70oF
and wait for the burner to shut o. Continue to wait for the
combustion blower to stop, so all latent combustion gases
are purged from the system. This should take a maximum of
40 to 90 seconds. After combustion gases are purged turn o
electrical power to the water heater.
B. Vacation Procedure
If there is danger of freezing, change the set point to 70oF. DO
NOT turn o electrical power. If there is no danger of freezing,
follow “Shutdown Procedure”.
C. Failure to Operate
Should the burner fail to light, the control will perform two
more ignition trials prior to entering a lockout state. Note that
each subsequent ignition trial will not occur immediately. After
a failed ignition trial, the blower must run for approximately
10 seconds to purge the system. Therefore, a time period of
approximately 40 to 90 seconds will expire between each
ignition trial.
If the burner lights during any one of these three ignition
trials, normal operation will resume. If the burner lights, but
goes o in about 4 seconds, check the polarity of the wiring.
See electrical connection section of this manual.
If the burner does not light after the third ignition trial, the
control will enter a lockout state. This lockout state indicates
that a problem exists with the water heater, the controls, or
the gas supply. Under such circumstances, a qualied service
technician should be contacted immediately to properly
service the water heater and correct the problem.
If a technician is not available, pressing the S4 button will
remove the lockout state so additional trials for ignition can
be performed. The unit will try to relight once every 6 minutes.
LP-179 Rev. 6.7.16
D. Important Notice
It is extremely important that whenever work is performed on
the plumbing system that either:
• The water heater is powered o, or,
• The water heater is valved o and isolated from the
plumbing system.
Failure to take these measures could result in a dry-ring
condition.

The water heater must be full of water and the system fully
purged BEFORE powering the water heater. Performing any
work in the plumbing system without either powering o
the water heater or isolating the water heater through the
use of shut-o valves could result in a condition referred to
as “dry-ring”. Dry-ring the water heater will damage the
heat exchanger, and could result in property damage, serious
personal injury, or death. Such damages ARE NOT covered by
water heater warranty.

exchanger as needed by the installation location could result
in water heater failure, property damage, personal injury,
or death. Such product failures ARE NOT covered under
warranty.
Hydrogen gas can build up in a hot water system served by
this water heater that has not been used for a long period
of time (generally two weeks or more). When opening a hot
water faucet in a system that has been out of use for a time,
keep all ignition sources (electrical appliances, open ame,
etc.) away from the faucet. If hydrogen is present, there will
be a sound of air escaping as water begins to ow. Allow the
water to run for a few minutes to dissipate built up hydrogen
from the system. Failure to follow these instructions can
result in property damage, personal injury, or death.
The water heater requires minimal periodic maintenance
under normal conditions. However, in unusually dirty or dusty
conditions, periodic vacuuming of the cover to maintain
visibility of the display and indicators is recommended.
Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a
qualied service technician to assure that all the equipment
is operating safely and eciently. The owner should make
necessary arrangements with a qualied heating contractor for
periodic maintenance of the heater. Installer must also inform
the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the
heater may result in a hazardous condition.
It is extremely important that whenever work is performed on
the plumbing system that either:
• The water heater is powered o, or,
• The water heater is valved o and isolated from the
plumbing system.
Failure to take these measures could result in a dry-ring
condition.
The water heater must be full of water and the system fully
purged BEFORE powering the water heater. Performing any
work in the plumbing system without either powering o
the water heater or isolating the water heater through the
use of shut-o valves could result in a condition referred to
as “dry-ring”. Dry-ring the water heater will damage the
heat exchanger, and could result in property damage, serious
personal injury, or death. Such damages ARE NOT covered by
water heater warranty.
