B. HOW THE APPLIANCE OPERATES
The Versa Hydro with Total System Control is truly revolutionary, providing high efficiency central heating and domestic hot water
from one appliance. Total System Control manages system needs, assuring maximum comfort and efficient operation. Some features
of the appliance are:
Stainless Steel Water Storage Tank
The storage tank is constructed of 316L stainless steel to provide maximum corrosion resistance. Water blown foam insulation and a
plastic jacket provide superior insulation, allowing no more than ½ degree heat loss per hour.
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14
Page 8
High Efficiency Heat Exchanger
The highly efficient 90/10 copper nickel heat exchanger provides direct energy transfer from the combustion gases into domestic water.
Hot gases travel from the primary circuit to heat the combustion walls, which then transfer heat directly into the water. The secondary
circuit then transfers the last bit of energy to the bottom of the tank, where the hot gases are converted to water vapor, giving the
appliance a combustion efficiency of 98% and thermal efficiency of up to 96%.
Modulating Combustion System
The modulating combustion system is designed to regulate firing rate
based on heat demand. Total System Control monitors tank
operation, system parameters, and controls the firing rate of the
burner, providing only the energy required to satisfy both the domestic
hot water and central heating needs.
Total System Control
Total System Control automatically manages the needs of both the
central heating and domestic hot water systems through the use of
sensors. These sensors monitor inputs (such as outdoor temperature,
tank temperature, and heating module outlet temperature) providing
data that allows accurate control of the entire system. You may
choose to use the control’s factory default settings or reprogram the
system parameters to provide design flexibility.
Hydronic Heating Module
The hydronic heating module connects to the storage tank through
two dip tubes. The first dip tube draws heated water from the top of
the storage tank and circulates it through a brazed plate heat
exchanger that transfers the water’s stored energy to the hydronic
side of the plate. Once the energy is transferred, the water returns
through the second dip tube to a lower section of the storage tank to continue circulating. A stainless steel circulator pump modulates
output, varying flow through the brazed plate heat exchanger to meet domestic hot water and central heating demand. An outlet sensor
provides feedback to the control to assure accurate temperature control.
Venting System
This appliance vents in plastic pipe. Use only the approved venting material outlined in the venting section (Part 8) of this manual. Vent
size can vary from 2” to 3” depending on the appliance input rate. The venting system requires an exhaust vent and intake pipe. Special
attention should be taken when selecting vent location. Vents can run horizontally or vertically, depending on system design. Support
the vents as shown in Venting, Part 8.
Burner
The burner is constructed of high grade stainless steel and uses pre-mixed air and gas to provide a wide range of firing rates.
Condensate Drain Connection
This is a condensing high efficiency appliance, and therefore has a condensate removal system. Condensate is nothing more than
water vapor derived from combustion products. Appliance condensate is similar to that of an automobile when it is initially started.
It is very important that the condensate line slopes away from the appliance, down to a suitable drain. If the condensate outlet is lower
than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump (kit p/n 554200, available from HTP).
A condensate filter, if required by local authorities, will neutralize the condensate, and can be made up of lime crystals, marble or
phosphate chips. This filter can be purchased from HTP (p/n 7450P-212) and installed in the field.
It is also very important that the condensate line not be exposed to freezing temperatures or any other type of blockage. Plastic pipe
must be the only material used for condensate line. Steel, brass, copper, or other materials will be subject to corrosion or deterioration.
In a long, horizontal condensate line, a second vent may be necessary to prevent vacuum lock. Also, an increase in pipe size and
support of the condensation line may be necessary to allow condensate to drain properly.
Spark Ignition
The burner flame is ignited by applying high voltage to the system spark electrode. This causes a spark from electrode to ground.
Outdoor Sensor
The outdoor sensor monitors outdoor temperature and adjusts the set point to provide greater efficiency.

Carefully consider installation when determining appliance location. Please read the entire manual before attempting installation.
Failure to properly take factors such as appliance venting, piping, condensate removal, and wiring into account before installation could
result in wasted time, money, and possible property damage and personal injury.
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that the appliance
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 appliance or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product warranty.
The service life of the appliance’s exposed metallic surfaces, such as the casing, as well as internal surfaces, such as the heat
exchanger, are directly influenced 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 the heat exchanger and other appliance components.
In these environments, appliances must not be installed using direct vent systems which draw outdoor air for combustion. Such
appliances must be installed using room air for combustion. Indoor air will have a much lower relative humidity and, hence, potential
corrosion will be minimized.
C. OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT
Below is a list of optional equipment available from HTP:
NOTE: When using an optional system sensor, pipe insulation must be wrapped around it to improve temperature measurement
accuracy and increase overall system efficiency.

The space must be provided with combustion/ventilation air openings correctly sized for all other appliances located in the same space
as the appliance. Failure to comply with the above warnings could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or
death.
Failure to vent the appliance properly will result in serious personal injury or death.
Vents must be properly supported. Appliance exhaust and intake connections are not designed to carry heavy weight. Vent support
brackets must be within 1’ of the appliance and the balance at 4’ intervals. Appliance must be readily accessible for visual inspection for
the first 3’ from the appliance.
D. RESIDENTIAL GARAGE INSTALLATION
PRECAUTIONS
If the appliance is located in a residential garage, per ANSI Z223.1:
Mount the bottom of the appliance a minimum of 18” above the floor of the garage, to ensure the burner and ignition devices
are well off the floor.
When raising the appliance, be certain to fully support its entire filled weight.
Locate or protect the appliance so it cannot be damaged by a moving vehicle.
E. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE
The appliance 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 Venting, Part 8 in this manual) are the lone venting options
approved for this appliance. Failure to vent the appliance in accordance with the provided venting instructions will void the
warranty.
1. DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn from the outdoors directly into the appliance 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 appliance such that the exhaust vent and intake piping can be routed through the building and properly
terminated. Different 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, Part 8 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 1.
2. INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR INSTALLATION IN CONFINED OR UNCONFINED SPACE
This appliance 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 1.
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 sufficient combustion air based on the appliance input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the appliance. If the
appliance is installed in areas where indoor air is contaminated (see Table 1) it is imperative that the appliance be installed as direct
vent so that all combustion air is taken directly from the outdoors into the appliance intake connection.
Unconfined 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. See Figure 22, p. 41 for details.
Confined 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 confined 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 floor. Each opening
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14

When drawing combustion air from the outside into the mechanical room, care must be taken to provide adequate freeze protection.
Do not attempt to vent this appliance 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.
Failure to provide an adequate supply of fresh combustion air can cause poisonous flue gases to enter living space, which could result
in severe personal injury or death.
You must pipe outside air to the appliance air intake. Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants below.
Contaminated air will damage the appliance, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. For
example, do not pipe intake near a swimming pool. Also, avoid areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry facilities. These areas
always contain contaminants.

Failure to follow all instructions can result in flue gas spillage and
carbon monoxide emissions, causing severe personal injury or death.
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the appliance 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 appliance,
as water quality will affect the reliability of the system. Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low
pH, or other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.

When removing an existing appliance, 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 deficiencies
that could cause an unsafe condition.
3. If practical, close all building doors, windows and doors between the
space in which the appliance 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 fireplace 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 flame of a match or candle or
smoke from a cigarette.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance remaining connected to common venting system properly vents when tested as
outlined, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance 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 in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1.
H. WATER CHEMISTRY
Outlined below are water quality parameters which need to be met in order for the system to operate efficiently 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
measurement used in the U.S. 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 classified 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 heat exchanger. Operating temperatures above 135oF will further accelerate the
build-up of lime scale on the heating surface and may shorten the service life of the appliance.
Water that is classified as hard and very hard must be softened to avoid heat exchanger failure. See below for further information about
water hardness.
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14
Page 14
14
If the hardness of the water exceeds the maximum level of 7 grains per gallon, 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 affect water pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to
14. Water with a pH of 7.0 is considered neutral. Water with a pH lower than 7 is considered acidic. Water pH higher than 7 is
considered alkaline. A neutral pH (around 7) is desirable for most potable water applications. Corrosion damage and appliance failures resulting from water pH levels of lower than 6 or higher than 8 ARE NOT covered by the warranty. The ideal pH range
for water used in a storage tank or a water heater system 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 total
dissolved solids 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 on the heat transfer surface that will
greatly reduce the service life of an appliance. This scale accumulation can also impede the ability of the heat exchanger to transfer
heat into the water. A heat exchanger damaged or blocked by lime/scale accumulation must be replaced.
The manufacturer of the appliance has no control of water quality, especially TDS levels in your system. Total dissolved solids in
excess of 2,000 ppm will accelerate lime and scale formation in the heat exchanger. Heat exchanger failure due to total dissolved solids
in excess of 2,000 ppm is a non-warrantable condition. Failure of an appliance due to lime scale build up on the heating surface IS
UNCRATING HEATER – Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company
by the consignee.
COLD WEATHER HANDLING – If the heater has been stored in a very cold location (BELOW 0oF) before installation, handle with care
until the plastic components come to room temperature.

Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
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 product warranty.
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 floor 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 could occur.
No shutoff 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 filling 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 “off” 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, under any circumstances, thread a cap or plug into the relief valve! Explosion, serious injury or death may result. Relief valve
piping must be directed to the floor or an open drain, but not connected.
The expansion tank must be suitable for hot potable water.
PART 4 - DOMESTIC WATER PIPING
A. TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE FOR DHW
Install a temperature and pressure relief valve into the marked port (upper right). We recommend a WATTS 40XL5 valve or equivalent
for 130,000 BTU models or above input. The valve must meet the ANSI Z21.22B requirements for relief valves for hot water heaters as
per a nationally recognized lab that maintains a periodic inspection of production of such listed safety device. The pressure rating of the
valve must not exceed the listed working pressure of this appliance, and must be rated to the proper BTU/hr capacity of the appliance.
There must be a 6" space between the outlet of relief valve piping and drain or floor. Do not hook up to drain system directly without an
air space. The relief valve must be checked periodically for proper operation.
B. DOMESTIC HOT WATER EXPANSION TANK
A potable hot water expansion tank is required to offset the expansion as the water is heated. In most city plumbing systems, the water
meter has a no return or back flow device built into the system to prevent water flowing back into city mains. Some local codes require
back flow 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 appliance.
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14

Never use dielectric unions or galvanized steel fittings on any domestic water or auxiliary connections. Use only copper or brass fittings.
Thread sealant must be used on all connections.
The mixing valve provided with this appliance must be installed on the hot water outlet connection to reduce the risk of scalding. This
mixing valve only reduces the risk of scalding injury.
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a setting of 140oF (60oC). Water temperature
over 125oF can instantly cause severe burns, or death, from scalds. Children, disabled, and elderly are at the highest risk of being
scalded. See instruction manual before setting temperature at appliance. Feel water before bathing or showering!

C. DOMESTIC WATER PIPING
Domestic water connections must be installed in accordance with all local and national plumbing codes or any applicable prevailing
standards. The appliance is supplied with a rated mixing valve certified to ASSE 1017. You must completely follow the instructions
included with the mixing valve for proper installation. This mixing valve must be installed on the domestic outlet to assure that hot water
temperature does not vary more than +/– 5°F, as the unit adjusts its stored water automatic set point to meet the requirements of the
hydronic heating module. The valve MUST NOT be allowed to freeze. If the mixing valve is installed in a potentially freezing situation,
suitable insulation must be fitted to prevent damage. DO NOT use excess thread sealant (in liquid, tape or other form) as this may
cause the mixing valve to fail. Toxic chemicals shall not be introduced into the mixing valve system.
Recommend to the user that the mixing valve be checked annually to ensure its continued function.
D. APPLIANCE PIPING
The domestic inlet and outlet ports on the appliance are 1” NPT connections. We recommend the installation of shut-off valves and
unions on both the inlet and outlet ports to isolate the appliance for future service.
It is important that the connections on the inlet and outlet are brass or copper. Never use dielectric unions or galvanized steel fittings.
Teflon thread sealant must be used to seal all tank connections. An approved ASSE 1017 mixing valve is provided with every appliance
and must be installed on the outlet to protect the user from scalding temperatures. This valve reduces the point of discharge
temperature by mixing the hot and cold water from the discharge outlet or mixed outlet port. This device alone will not protect the user
from scalding temperature. To install and set up the mixing valve, follow the pre-installation steps in this manual and also follow the
enclosed instructions included with the mixing valve.
E. MIXING VALVE INSTALLATION
1. All installations must be carried out by licensed
professionals.
2. The installer must ensure compatibility of all
installations. Example: Temperature of hot water –
marked “H”, cold water inlet – marked “C”, and mixed
outlet – marked with directional arrow.
3. The mixing valve may be installed in any position.
4. Local codes shall take priority over any inconsistency
in these instructions.
5. During startup, you must
ensure that the valve is set to
the desired temperature (the
mixing valve preset is 120oF).
If the valve temperature needs
to be adjusted, please refer to
the mixing valve instructions and/or the following settings.
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14

This appliance can deliver scalding temperature water at any faucet in the system. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid
scalding injury. By setting the thermostat on this appliance to obtain increased water temperature, you may create a higher potential for
scald injury. To protect against injury, you should install an ASSE approved thermostatic mixing valve (a device to limit the temperature
of water to protect against scald injury by mixing hot and cold water supply) in the system. This valve will reduce point of discharge
temperature in branch supply lines. This appliance was shipped with an ASSE approved thermostatic mixing valve. Install this valve
according to the directions in the mixing device container. DO NOT OPERATE THIS APPLIANCE WITHOUT AN ASSE APPROVED
THERMOSTATIC MIXING DEVICE. If this appliance was shipped without an ASSE approved thermostatic mixing valve, contact the
manufacturer.
The mixing valve is certified to ASSE 1017. It is not to be used to provide anti-scald service resulting from system pressure fluctuations,
and should not be used where more sophisticated compensating temperature controls are required.
Do not solder unions while attached to the valve body. Solder connections prior to connecting unions to the valve body to avoid
damaging the valve and its function.

Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury. Scalding may occur within 5 seconds at a setting of 140oF (60oC). Water temperature
over 125oF can instantly cause severe burns, or death, from scalds. Children, disabled, and elderly are at the highest risk of being
scalded. See instruction manual before setting temperature at appliance. Feel water before bathing or showering!
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 death or serious injury.
Setting the Mixing Valve Outlet Temperature
1. Turn both the hot and cold water supplies on. Open an outlet, preferably a sink or basin faucet rather than a shower. To calibrate, let
water run for 2 minutes and measure the outlet temperature with a thermometer. Adjust the green cap counter clockwise to increase
temperature and clockwise to decrease temperature, as shown in Fig. 4.
Figure 4 – Adjusting the Mixing Valve
2. Once the desired outlet temperature has been achieved, refit the green top so that it snaps onto the body of the mixing valve.
NOTE: See the instruction sheet included with the mixing valve to adjust the maximum temperature of the mixing valve greater than
120oF.
MIXING VALVE MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
It is recommended to check the mixing valve annually to ensure proper system capabilities. More frequent checks are
recommended in adverse water conditions.
When checking the mixed water supply temperature, use the same faucet used in the initial installation temperature
adjustment.
There may be some variation in the water temperature from the mixing valve due to seasonal temperature variations in the
cold water supply.
If the water supply is of poor quality, the internal components may jam, requiring an additional filter or strainer to be fitted to
the system. Contact a plumbing professional for appropriate materials and installation.
F. AUXILIARY PIPING
Auxiliary connections are provided to connect to an air handler, plate exchanger or other additional devices. Auxiliary ports can also be
used for recirculation line connections. These connections must be installed in accordance with all local and national codes or any
applicable prevailing standards. Auxiliary connections are 1” on all models. Never use dielectric unions or galvanized steel fittings. Use
only copper or brass fittings. Teflon sealant must be used on all connections. The top port has a dip tube that draws hot water from the
dome of the unit and the bottom port dip tube returns the water to bottom of the unit.

Failure to follow the instructions in this section WILL VOID the warranty and may result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
Figure 5 – Hydronic Heating Module
PART 5 - HYDRONIC PIPING
A. HYDRONIC HEATING MODULE PIPING
The hydronic heating module comes pre-plumbed and connected directly to the storage tank. The heated water inside the tank will be
circulated through one side of the brazed plate heat exchanger while the heating system water flows through the other side. The
heating system piping is connected to the return and supply pipes located on the top of the hydronic heating module (see Figure 5).
Piping of the module to the system is not complex and does not require any of the primary or secondary piping normally used on high
efficiency low mass boilers.
NOTE: Do not connect hydronic heating module to air handler units. This module may not be applied to air handler applications.
B. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE FOR THE HYDRONIC SYSTEM
The pressure relief valve supplied with the appliance is designed to relieve pressure greater than 30 psi. The hydronic heating module
is designed to withstand pressure up to 150 psi. If you are changing the pressure relief valve for a higher pressure rating, you must
make sure that the system components are designed for the higher pressure. The relief valve must be rated for the 135,000 Btu
maximum capacity of the brazed plate heat exchanger. Pipe the discharge line in copper piping to a drain. Provide 6” clearance from
the floor drain.
C. HYDRONIC EXPANSION TANK AND MAKE UP
WATER
Ensure that the expansion tank is sized to the system
volume, brazed plate capacity, and related piping for the
hydronic heating module. The capacity of the module and
brazed plate is ½ gallon. Most chilled water systems are
piped using a closed type expansion tank.
Connect the expansion tank to the air separator only if the
separator is on the suction side of the circulator. The
hydronic heating module has a water line connection of ½”
NPT to connect into the pressure reducing valve and back
flow preventer. Normal system pressure is 15 psi.
20
D. HYDRONIC HEATING MODULE SYSTEM PIPING
The hydronic heating module is designed to function in a
closed loop hydronic system. The included temperature and
pressure gauge allows the user to monitor the system
pressure and temperature from the hydronic heating module.
The gauge should be installed on the supply outlet piping
from the heating module. The installation of an air elimination
device will remove air from the system which is necessary to
avoid an air lock in the central heating circulator. It is
recommended that all the piping is insulated to improve on
the system’s overall efficiency. In the system piping, heating
coils in air handler, flow control valves, or other devices must
be installed to prevent gravity circulation of heated water
from the heating module.
Freeze protection for new or existing systems must be
composed of glycol that is specifically formulated to include inhibitors that will prevent the glycol from attacking the metallic system
components. Make certain that the system fluid is checked for the correct glycol concentration and inhibitor level. The system should be
tested at least once a year or as recommended by the producer of the glycol solution. Allowance should be made for the expansion of
the glycol solution in the system piping. Example: 50% by volume glycol solution expands 4.8% in volume for the temperature increase
from 32oF to 180oF, while water expands 3% with the same temperature rise.
Listed below are the basic steps that will help guide you through the installation of the hydronic heating module to the system piping.
1. Connect the system return marked “Return”.
2. Connect the system supply marked “Supply”.
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14
Page 21
Never block the outlet of the safety relief valve.
3. Install a balance and purge valve (or shut off drain valve) on the system return to purge air out of the zone at start-up.
4. Install a back flow preventer on the cold feed make–up water line.
5. Install a pressure reducing valve on the cold feed make up water line (15 psi operating pressure). Check temperature and pressure
gauge when operating. It should read minimum pressure of 15 psi.
6. Install the system circulator as shown in the piping details in this section. Make sure the circulator is properly sized for the system
and friction loss.
7. Install an expansion tank on the system supply. Consult the expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for specific information
related to expansion for the required system volume and capacity.
8. Install an air elimination device on the system supply.
9. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of system to blow out the system if needed. NOTE: The hydronic heating module cannot be
drained completely of water without purging the unit with an air pressure greater than 15 psi but not exceeding 40 psi. If winterizing the
unit it is recommended, use glycol on the closed loop hydronic side only.
10. The relief valve is installed at the factory. A pipe discharge line should be installed to release 6” above a drain, so discharge will be
visible when pressure is relieved. The pipe size must be the same size as the relief valve outlet.
21
E. HYDRONIC HEATING MODULE OUTPUT
Hydronic heating module output is based on the burner input and the flow rate supplied by the selected system circulator through the
closed loop side of the brazed plate exchanger. Included in this section are graphs that will help you size the appropriate circulator and
output needed to meet your system design requirements. Below is an example on the steps needed to determine the correct circulator
for the system.
Example: System design requires 120,000 Btu at 20 Delta
Step 1
Using the graphs, select the input rate of the appliance. In this example, we would have to select a minimum input of 199K (the 130K
max. output is 100,000 Btu, which falls below our operating point).
Step 2
Next, go to the chart for the 199K burner input and select the point of operation where the Btu and Delta T line intersect. Mark the point
on the chart and go to bottom of the chart to determine flow rate needed to achieve the rated output from the module. This example is
12 GPM.
Step 3
Select the correct circulator to meet the flow and resistance requirements for the system design. To calculate this, you must determine
the flow and resistance through the system and heating module. The heating module requires 12 GPM at 10 feet of head. The system
requires 12 GPM at 5 feet of head. To select a circulator, add the resistance 10 feet of head (module) + 5 feet of head (system) at 12
GPM. This system requires a circulator that operates at a resistance of 15 feet at 12 GPM (See examples in Figure 6, Figure 7, and
Figure 8).

This appliance is certified 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 below carefully. Failure to do so will result in substantial property
damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Exhaust vent and intake pipes are to be piped separately. This appliance cannot share a common exhaust or intake with multiple
appliances. Failure to follow this instruction will result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
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 flue adapter. Failure to do so could result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
Due to the extreme flammability 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.

E. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE SIZING
1. The exhaust vent and intake pipe size is 2" for the PHE130 and 3" for the PHE199.
2. The maximum total equivalent length of 2” exhaust vent and intake pipe must not exceed 85 feet. The maximum equivalent length
of 3” exhaust vent and intake pipe must not exceed 200 feet.
a. The equivalent length of elbows, tees, and other fittings are listed in the Friction Loss Table, Table 4:
32
Table 4 - *Friction loss for long radius elbow is 1’ less. NOTE: Consult Polypropylene venting instructions for friction loss and
pressure drop equivalents.
b. For example: If the vent size is 2”, and the exhaust vent has two 90° 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 90° elbows, one 45° elbow and 10 feet of PVC pipe, the following calculation applies:
Intake Pipe Equivalent Length = (2x5) + 3 + 10 = 23 feet.
Finally, if a concentric vent kit is used we find:
Total Equivalent Length = 20 + 23 + 3 = 46 feet.
The total equivalent length is 46 feet which is well below the maximum of 85 feet.
3. The minimum total equivalent length is 16 equivalent feet.
F. LONGER VENT RUNS
The maximum total equivalent length can be extended by increasing the diameter of both exhaust vent and intake pipe equally.
However, the transitions should begin a minimum of 15 total equivalent feet from the water appliance.
a. The maximum total equivalent length for increased diameter vent pipes is 125 feet for 2” transitioning to 3” pipe
(this number includes the minimum 15 total equivalent feet necessary for transition), and 200 maximum total
equivalent feet for 3” transitioning to 4” pipe (including the minimum 15 total equivalent feet necessary for
transition).
b. Transitions should always be made in vertical sections of pipe to prevent the condensate from pooling in the vent pipe.
Table 5 – Vent Sizing – Diameter and Length
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14
Page 33
33
Total maximum total equivalent length of increased diameter exhaust vent and intake pipe must not exceed the lengths defined in this
manual. 125 maximum total equivalent feet for 2” increased to 3” diameter vent pipe; 200 maximum total equivalent feet for 3” increased to 4” diameter vent pipe. Failure to keep the total equivalent length below the maximum lengths determined in this manual
will result in faulty appliance operation, substantial property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

length will be reduced.
Table 6 – TEL = Total Equivalent Length *Oversized vent pipe diameter is 1” or greater than factory supplied connection.
G. EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE INSTALLATION
1. Use only solid PVC or CPVC 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 fittings.
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. To prevent water leakage, install adequate roof flashing where the pipe enters the roof.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. Horizontal lengths of exhaust vent must slope back towards the appliance not less than ¼" per foot to allow condensate to drain from
the vent pipe.
10. The exhaust vent must terminate where vapors cannot make accidental contact with people or pets, or damage shrubs or plants.
11. In vacant chimney applications, install and seal a rain cap over existing chimney openings.
12. 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.
13. Do not use the appliance to support any piping.
14. A screened straight coupling is provided with the appliance for use as an outside exhaust termination.
15. A screened inlet air tee is provided with the appliance to be used as an outside intake termination.

Table 7
H. VENTING DRAWINGS
1. DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST VENT AND INTAKE PIPE
If installing a direct vent option, combustion air must be drawn from the outdoors directly into the appliance 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 appliance such that the exhaust vent and intake piping can be routed through the building and properly
terminated. Different 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, Part 8 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 1.

All vent pipes must be glued, properly supported, and the exhaust must be pitched a minimum of ¼” per foot back to the appliance to
allow drainage of condensate. When placing support brackets on vent piping, the first bracket must be within 1 foot of the appliance and
the balance at 4 foot intervals on the vent pipe. Boiler venting must be readily accessible for visual inspection for the first three feet from
the boiler.
Do not install the appliance into a common existing vent with any other appliance. This will cause flue gas spillage or appliance
malfunction, resulting in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Figure 18 – Horizontal Venting - NOTE: Drawing is meant to demonstrate system venting ONLY.
NOTES:
A. For every 1” of overhang, the exhaust vent must be located 1” vertical below overhang (overhang means top of building structure
and not two adjacent walls [corner of building]).
B. Typical installations require 12” minimum separation between bottom of exhaust outlet and top of air intake.
C. Maintain 12” minimum clearance above highest anticipated snow level or grade (whichever is greater).
D. Minimum 12” between vents when installing multiple vents.
E. 12” minimum beyond air intake.
2. VENTING THROUGH AN EXISTING SYSTEM
This appliance 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.
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14
Page 39
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 significantly to installation costs.
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, severe personal injury, or death.
If an existing venting system is converted for use with this appliance, the installer must ensure that the existing venting system is clean
and free from particulate contamination that could damage the appliance. Failure to do so could result in property damage and
appliance 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 concentric vent
kits. Refer to Concentric Vent Kit installation manual (LP-166) for further concentric venting information and instructions.
Concentric venting through an existing system must run vertically through the roof. See Table 4 for proper minimum vent sizing. Use
only the approved venting materials specified in Table 3 for piping the system. All instructions listed in Part 6 - Venting apply. See
Figures 19-1 and 19-2 for venting demonstrations.
NOTES:
A. For every 1” of overhang, the exhaust
vent must be located 1” vertical below
overhang (overhang means top of
building structure and not two adjacent
walls [corner of building]).
B. Typical installations require 12”
minimum separation between bottom of
exhaust outlet and top of air intake.
C. Maintain 12” minimum clearance
above highest anticipated snow level or
grade (whichever is greater).
D. Minimum 12” between vents when
installing multiple vents.
E. 12” minimum beyond air intake.
F. Maintain 12” minimum clearance
above highest anticipated snow level or
grade (whichever is greater).

3. INDOOR COMBUSTION AIR INSTALLATION IN CONFINED OR
UNCONFINED SPACE
This appliance 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 1.
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 sufficient
combustion air based on the appliance input. Never obstruct the supply of combustion air to the appliance. If the appliance is installed in areas where
indoor air is contaminated (see Figure 21) it is imperative that the appliance be
installed as direct vent so that all combustion air is taken directly from the
outdoors into the appliance intake connection.
Unconfined 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.
Confined 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
confined 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 floor.
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 confined 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 22.
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14

The condensate line must remain unobstructed. If allowed to freeze in the line or obstructed in any other manner, condensate can exit
from the tee, resulting in potential water damage to property. When installing a condensate pump, select one approved for use with
condensing appliances and furnaces. The condensate pump should have an overflow switch to prevent property damage from spillage.
Condensate from the appliance will be slightly acidic (pH from 3.2 to 4.5). Install a neutralizing filter if required by local codes.
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 efficiency appliance has a condensate removal system. Condensate is water vapor derived from combustion
products, similar to an automobile when it is initially started. It is very important that the condensate line is sloped down away from the
appliance and to a suitable drain.
If the appliance 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 filter of lime crystals, marble, or phosphate chips will neutralize slightly acidic
condensate. This can be installed in the field and purchased from HTP (p/n 7450P-212).
Plastic pipe 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 a condensate line vacuum lock if a long horizontal run is used. An
increase in condensate line diameter may be necessary to allow condensate to drain properly. Support of the condensate line may be
necessary to avoid blockage of the condensate flow.
42
Figure 23 – Installation of Condensate Line - LP-314-BB
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. THIS WILL REDUCE VACUUM LOCK.
2. PLASTIC PIPE SHOULD BE THE ONLY MATERIAL USED FOR THE CONDENSATE LINE. STEEL, BRASS, COPPER, OR OTHER MATERIALS
WILL BE SUBJECT TO CORROSION OR DETERIORATION.
3. NEVER install condensate lines outside. It is very important that the condensate line is not exposed to freezing temperatures or any
type of blockage. 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 flow.

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD – For your safety, to avoid possible electrical shock hazard, turn off electrical power supply at service
entrance panel before making any electrical connections. Failure to do so can result in severe personal injury or death.
NOTE: Wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1. If original wiring as supplied with boiler must be replaced, use only TEW 105 oC wire or
equivalent. Boiler must be electrically grounded as required by National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 – latest edition.
Label all wires prior to disconnecting them when servicing the appliance. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in property damage or personal injury.
To avoid electrical shock, turn off all power to the appliance prior to opening an electrical box within the unit. Ensure the power remains
off 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.
PART 7 - FIELD WIRING
A. FIELD WIRING COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS
INSTALLATION MUST COMPLY WITH:
1. National Electrical Code and any other national, state, provincial or local codes or regulations.
2. In Canada, CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1, and any local codes.
B. FIELD WIRING
All the wiring connections made to the appliance in the field are done on the field connection board located on the right side of the
cabinet. The cabinet has multiple knockouts available to route field wiring into and out of the field connection board. The control
provides a pump output thermostat and outdoor sensor inputs to operate the central heating system.
43
C. LINE VOLTAGE WIRING
1. Connect the normal incoming power to the terminals marked as shown in Figure 25. A line voltage fused disconnect switch may be
required to be externally mounted and connected according to local codes and standards.
2. Connect the central heating pump as shown in the terminals marked CH/DHW PUMP (see Figure 25). The connections shown are
suitable for a maximum continuous pump draw of 3 amps at 120 volts. If the pump requires more current or voltage than the 120 volts
supplied, an external motor starter will be required.
3. Please note that the solar pump connectors on the field connection board are not functional at this time.
D. LOW VOLTAGE WIRING
1. Make all low voltage connections to the terminal strip located on the field connection board (shown in Figure 24) as outlined below.
2. The room thermostat should be connected to the terminals marked T STAT (shown in Figure 24). Alternately, any dry contact
closure across these terminals will cause the unit to operate the hydronic heating module. NOTE: Caution must be used to ensure
neither of the terminals becomes connected to ground. Mount the thermostat on an inside wall as central as possible to the area being
heated, away from drafts or heat producing devices such as a television, which could influence the ability of the thermostat to measure
room temperature accurately. NOTE: If the thermostat is equipped with a directly connected anticipator, the anticipator should be set at
.1 amps. If the thermostat is connected to other devices, the anticipator should be set to match the power requirements of those
connected devices. Refer to the instruction manuals of the connected devices for further information.
3. The outdoor sensor must be connected for the unit to operate at optimum efficiency. 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 affected

It is of extreme importance that this unit be properly grounded. Prior to making any electrical connections, It is very important that the
building system ground is inspected by a qualified electrician. Make certain that electrical power is only turned on when the unit is
completely filled with cold water.
Failure to follow all precautions in this section could result in fire, explosion, or death!
Failure to isolate gas line while leak testing 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 flame (match, lighter, etc.) to check gas connections.
Figure 27
PART 8 - GAS CONNECTION
A. GAS SUPPLY
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 (WC). As stated in the National Fuel Gas Code, the entire
piping system, gas meter, and regulator must be sized properly to prevent
pressure drop greater than .5” WC. This information is listed on the unit
rating plate.
It is very important that you are connected to the type of gas noted on the
rating plate: “LP” for liquefied petroleum, propane gas, or “Nat” for natural or
city gas. Prior to turning the gas supply on, all gas connections must be
approved by the local gas supplier or utility in addition to the governing
authority. Do not remove the reducing coupling attached to the gas
valve! Per the National Fuel Gas Code, it is mandatory that this fitting
be used for connection to a field fabricated drip leg as shown in the
illustration at left.
Ensure that the entire gas line to the connection at the appliance is no
smaller than ¾”. 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 appliance from the gas
line to continue leak testing. In order to do this, you must turn off the factory
and field-installed gas cocks. This will minimize the possibility of damaging
the appliance gas valve.
47
B. GAS PIPING
1. Run the gas supply line in accordance with all applicable codes.
2. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in accordance with state and local requirements.
C. GAS TABLE
Refer to the following table 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” water column:
Table 9
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14
Page 48
Do not do a gas conversion on this appliance without an officially approved conversion kit and instructions supplied by HTP. Failure to
use a conversion kit when converting the appliance to fire on Natural or LP gas will result in extremely dangerous burner operation,
leading to fire, explosion, severe injury or death.
Strain on the gas valve and fittings may result in vibration, premature component failure and gas leakage, and result in fire, explosion,
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Adjustments to the throttle screw or offset may only be made by a qualified gas technician using a calibrated combustion analyzer
capable of measuring CO2 and CO. Failure to follow this instruction could result in fire, explosion, property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
It is recommended that a soapy solution be used to detect leaks. Bubbles
will appear on the pipe to indicate a leak is present. To avoid excessive
pressure drop, the gas piping must be sized for the proper flow and length
of pipe. Both the gas meter and regulator must be properly sized for the
total gas load. If you experience a pressure drop greater than 1” WC, the
meter, regulator, and/or gas line is undersized or needs service. By
removing the cap, you can attach a manometer to the incoming gas drip
leg. 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 installed a minimum
of 10 feet from the appliance.
It is very important that the gas line is properly purged by the gas
supplier or utility. Failure to properly purge or size the lines will
result in ignition failure. This problem is especially noticeable in NEW
LP installations and empty tank situations. This can also occur when a
utility company shuts off 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 service feature, the gas
valve in this appliance has a flanged connection to the swirl plate and
blower.

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
1. This boiler does not have pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the
burner by hand.
2. BEFORE OPERATING: smell all around the boiler area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than
air and will settle on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
Do not try to light any boiler.
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 fire department.
Turn off gas shutoff valve (located outside of the boiler) 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 qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or
explosion.
4. Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified service technician to inspect the boiler and to
replace any part of the control system and any gas control that has been damaged.
5. The boiler shall be installed so the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during
boiler operation and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap, control replacement, etc.)
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.

PART 9 - START-UP PROCEDURE
A. FILL AND PURGE DHW
LP-314 REV. 3.24.14
Page 50
50
Never use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze, or ethylene glycol made for hydronic systems. Use only freeze-prevention fluids
certified by fluid manufacturer as specified for use with stainless steel hydronic heating module heat exchanger and verified in fluid
manufacturer’s literature.
Thoroughly clean and flush any system that has used glycol before connecting to the stainless steel hydronic heating module heat
exchanger. Provide MSDS material data safety sheet on fluid used to owner.
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh make-up water will reduce the hydronic heating module heat exchanger ability to effectively
transfer heat and reduce performance.
It is important that you purge the system of air to avoid damage to the modulating pump.
The power must remain off until the potable water side of the appliance is fully purged of air. To purge the tank, turn on the cold water
feed and open a faucet at the highest point of the system. Observe filling of the tank and inspect for any leaks in the system which may
occur and need to be repaired. Shut off faucet once all evidence of air is purged from the water stream.
B. FILL AND PURGE HYDRONIC HEATING LOOP
Freeze Protection (When Used)
1. Local codes may require back flow preventer or actual disconnect from city water supply.
2. The power must remain off until the hydronic heating loop is fully purged of air.
3. Determine freeze protection fluid quantity using total system water content of 1/2 gallon. Remember to include expansion tank water
content and follow fluid manufacturer’s instructions.
4. When using freeze protection fluid with automatic fill, install a water meter to monitor water make-up. Freeze protection fluid may leak
before the water begins to leak, causing concentration to drop, reducing the freeze protection level.
5. Close manual any automatic air vents and any drain valves in the hydronic system loop.
6. Fill the system to correct pressure after ensuring the water quality meets the water quality standards outlined within this manual (See
Part 3, Section H). The correct pressure will vary with each application.
a. Typical system pressure is 15 PSI.
b. Pressure will rise when the hydronic module starts to heat from the heated water from the domestic side of the system.
Operating pressure must never exceed the relief valve pressure setting of 30 psi.
c. At initial fill and during start-up and testing, check system thoroughly for any leaks. Repair all leaks before proceeding
further.
7. The system may have residual substances that could affect water chemistry. After the system has been filled and leak tested, verify
that water pH and chlorine concentrations are acceptable by sample testing.
C. PURGE AIR FROM HYDRONIC HEATING MODULE
a. Connect to a purge and drain valve location (shown in piping details) and route hose to an area where water can drain and
be seen.
b. Close the ball valves below the purge and drain valve.
c. Close zone isolation valves.
d. Open quick-fill valve on make-up water line.
e. Open purge valve.
f. Open the isolation valves one zone at a time. Allow water to run through the zone and push out air. Run until no noticeable
air flow is present. Close the zone isolation valves and proceed with the next zone. Follow this procedure until all zones are
purged.
g. Close the quick-fill valve and purge valve and remove the hose. Open all isolation valves. Watch the system pressure rise to
correct cold-fill pressure. It is recommended that you put the pumps into manual operation to assist in purging the circuits.

PART 11 - SHUTDOWN
A. SHUTDOWN PROCEDURE
If the burner is operating, lower the set point value to 70oF and wait for the burner to shut off. Then, wait for the combustion blower to
stop so all latent combustion gases are purged from the system. This should take 40 to 90 seconds. After the combustion blower and
burner have stopped operating, disconnect the electrical supply.
B. VACATION PROCEDURE
If there is danger of freezing, change the set point to 70oF. DO NOT turn off electrical power! If there is no danger of freezing,
follow Shutdown Procedure, Part 11, Section A.
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

There is no pressure in the appliance. (Pull the release on the relief valve to relieve pressure.)
Appliance water is not hot.
Electrical power is disconnected.
DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN SUBMERGED IN WATER. Immediately call a qualified service technician.
The appliance MUST BE replaced if it has been submerged. Attempting to operate an appliance that has been submerged could create
numerous harmful conditions, such as a potential gas leakage causing a fire and/or explosion, or the release of mold, bacteria, or other
harmful particulates into the air. Operating a previously submerged appliance could result in property damage, severe personal injury,
or death.
NOTE: Appliance damage due to flood or submersion is considered an Act of God, and IS NOT covered under product warranty.
during any one of these three ignition trials, normal operation will resume. If the burner lights, and goes off in about 4 seconds, check
the polarity of the wiring. See Electrical Connection Section in Part 7.
If the burner does not light after the third ignition trial, the control will enter a lockout state. This lockout indicates that a problem exists
with the appliance, the controls, or the gas supply. Under such circumstances, a qualified service technician should be contacted
immediately to properly service the appliance and correct the problem. If a technician is not available, pressing RESET once will
remove the lockout state so additional trials for ignition can be performed.
PART 12 - TROUBLESHOOTING
A. APPLIANCE ERROR CODE
If any of the sensors detect an abnormal condition or an internal component fails during the operation of the appliance, the display may
show an error message and error code. This message and code may be the result of a temporary condition, in which case the display
will revert to its normal readout when the condition is corrected.
However, it may also be the result of a condition that the controller has evaluated as not safe to restart the appliance. In this case, the
boiler control will be locked out, the red FAULT light will be lit steadily, and the message “LOCKOUT” will be displayed on the readout
on the lower line. The appliance will not start until a qualified technician has repaired the fault and pressed the RESET button for more
than 1 second. If there is an error message displayed on the readout and the message “LOCKOUT” is not displayed and the FAULT
light is not lit, then the message is the result of a temporary condition and will disappear when the problem corrects itself.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you see error messages on your display readout, call a technician immediately since the message may indicate
that more serious problems will occur soon.
B. APPLIANCE ERROR
When an error condition occurs, the controller will display a description and code on the display readout. These error messages and
their recommended corrective actions are described in Section D, Appliance Control Fault Codes.
C. APPLIANCE FAULT
1. When a fault condition occurs, the controller will illuminate the red FAULT light and display a fault message in the display. The alarm
output will also be activated. Most fault conditions also cause the CH pump to run in an attempt to cool the appliance.
2. Note the fault message that is displayed and refer to the Fault Code section for an explanation of the fault message, along with
several suggestions for corrective actions.
3. Press RESET to clear the fault and resume operation. Be sure to observe the operation of the unit for a period of time to assure

Periodic maintenance should be performed once a year by a qualified service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating
safely and efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance of
the appliance. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the appliance may result in a
hazardous condition.
Table 20 - *Continue annual maintenance beyond the 4th year as required.
