GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

PRECAUTIONS

DO NOT USE THIS APPLIANCE IF ANY PART HAS BEEN UNDER WATER. Immediately call a qualied service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace any part of the control system and any gas control which has been under water.

IF THE UNIT IS EXPOSED TO THE FOLLOWING, DO NOT OPERATE HEATER UNTIL ALL CORRECTIVE STEPS HAVE BEEN MADE BY A QUALIFIED SERVICEMAN.

1. EXTERNAL FIRE.

2. DAMAGE.

3. FIRING WITHOUT WATER.

4. SOOTING

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This water heater must be grounded in accordance with the National Electric Code and/or local codes. These must be followed in all cases.

This water heater must be connected to a grounded metal, permanent wiring system; or an equipment grounding conductor must be run with the circuit conductors and connected to the equipment grounding terminal or lead on the water heater, see Figure 9.

CHEMICAL VAPOR CORROSION

WARNING

CORROSION OF THE FLUEWAYS AND VENT SYSTEM MAY OCCUR IF AIR FOR COMBUSTION CONTAINS CERTAIN CHEMICAL VAPORS. SUCH CORROSION MAY RESULT IN FAILURE AND RISK OF ASPHYXIATION.

Spray can propellants, cleaning solvents, refrigerator and air conditioning refrigerants, swimming pool chemicals, calcium and sodium chloride (water softener salt), waxes, and process chemicals and typical compounds which are potentially corrosive. Do not store products of this sort near the heater. Also, air which is brought in contact with a the heater should not contain any of these chemicals. If necessary, uncontaminated air should be obtained from remote or outside sources. The limited warranty is voided when failure of water heater is due to a corrosive atmosphere. (Refer to the limited warranty for complete terms and conditions.

IMPROPER COMBUSTION

WARNING

ATTIC AND/OR EXHAUST FANS OPERATING ON THE PREMISES WITH A WATER HEATER CAN RESULT IN CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING AND DEATH.

OPERATION OF THESE FANS CAN PRODUCE A NEGATIVE DRAFT IN THE AREA OF THE WATER HEATER PREVENTING THE PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION FROM EXHAUSTING THROUGH THE CHIMNEY OR VENT PIPE.

The venting of the water heater should be inspected by a qualied service technician at the time of installation and periodically thereafter to ensure a down-draft condition does not exist.

DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATING AIR. ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION MUST BE PROVIDED FOR SAFE OPERATION.

EXTENDED NON-USE PERIODS

WARNING

HYDROGEN GAS CAN BE PRODUCED IN A HOT WATER SYSTEM SERVED BY THIS HEATER THAT HAS NOT BEEN USED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME (GENERALLY TWO WEEKS OR MORE). HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions,

it is recommended that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will probably be an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to ow. THERE SHOULD BE NO SMOKING

OR OPEN FLAME NEAR THE FAUCET AT THE TIME IT IS OPEN.

INSULATION BLANKETS

Insulation blankets available to the general public for external use on gas water heaters are not approved for use on your Lochinvar water heater. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank water heaters. Your Lochinvar water heater meets or exceeds the the current edition of ASHRAE/IES 90.1 standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirement making an insulation blanket unnecessary.

WARNING

Should you choose to apply an insulation blanket to this heater, you should follow these instructions. Failure to follow

these instructions can result in re, asphyxiation, serious

personal injury or death.

• Do not apply insulation to the top of the water heater, as this will interfere with safe operation of drafthood.

• Do not cover the temperature & pressure relief valve.

• Do not cover the instruction manual. Keep it on the side

of the water heater or nearby for future reference.

• Do obtain new labels from Lochinvar for placement on the blanket directly over the existing labels.

HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS

As elevation above sea level is increased, there is less oxygen per cubic foot of air. Therefore, the heater input rate should be reduced at high altitudes for satisfactory operation with the reduced oxygen supply. Failure to make this reduction would result in an overring of the heater causing sooting, poor combustion and/or unsatisfactory heater performance.

REQUIREMENTS

Ratings specied by manufacturers for most appliances apply for elevations up to 2000 feet. For elevations above 2000 feet, ratings must be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1000 feet above sea level. For example, if a heater is rated at 120,000 Btuh at sea level, to rate the heater at 4000 feet, you subtract 4 (once for each thousand feet) x.04 (4% input reduction) x 120,000 Btuh (original rating) from the original rating. Therefore, to calculate the input rating at 4,000 feet: 4 x .04 x 120,000 =19,200 Btuh, 120,000 - 19,200 = 100,800 Btuh. At 6000 feet the correct

input rating should be 91,200 Btuh.

The input reduction is primarily achieved by reducing the size of the main burner orices. To do this, the main burner orices require replacement with orices sized for the particular installation elevation. Correct orice sizing and parts may be obtained from Lochinvar. When ordering, be sure to state the model number and the altitude of the location where the water heater is being installed.

Upon completion of derating of the heater, adjustment to the gas pressure regulator may be required. See CHECKING THE INPUT section in this manual for inlet and manifold pressure requirements.

Also due to the input rating reduction required at high altitudes, the output rating of the appliance is also reduced and should be compensated for in the sizing of the equipment for application.

FEATURES

THE ELIMINATOR™ (SELF-CLEANING SYSTEM)

These units include The Eliminator (Self-Cleaning System) installed in the front water inlet, see Figure 2. The Eliminator must be oriented correctly for proper function. There is a marked range on the pipe nipple portion of the Eliminator, that must be aligned with the top of the inlet spud. A label above the jacket hole has an arrow that will point to the marked portion of the pipe nipple if the orientation is correct. If the arrow does not point within the marked range on the pipe nipple, adjust the pipe nipple to correct. A pipe union is supplied with the Eliminator to reduce the probability of misaligning the Eliminator accidentally while tightening the connection to the inlet water supply line. Improper orientation of the Eliminator can cause poor performance of the heater and can signicantly reduce outlet water temperatures during heavy draws.

WARNING

INSTALLATIONS ABOVE 2000 FEET (610 METERS) REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE BURNER ORIFICE IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.1.2 OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE (ANSI Z223.1). FAILURE TO REPLACE THE ORIFICE WILL RESULT IN IMPROPER AND INEFFICIENT OPERATION OF THE APPLIANCE RESULTING IN THE PRODUCTION OF INCREASED LEVELS OF CARBON MONOXIDE GAS IN EXCESS OF SAFE LIMITS WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

You should contact your gas supplier for any specic changes which may be required in your area.

Note: The inlet tube may have 1, 3 or 7 cross tubes.

FIGURE 2

For proper function, the Eliminator must be oriented correctly. There is a marked range on the pipe nipple that must be aligned with the top of the inlet spud (check for label on the appliance) to assure proper operation. Please check to conrm that the marked range is in alignment with the top of the spud. A pipe union is supplied with the Eliminator to help eliminate the

possibility of changing the orientation by accidentally overtightening the inlet supply. Improper orientation of the Eliminator may cause temperature buildup issues or spells of colder than usual water

temperatures.

HIGH LIMIT SWITCH

The digital thermostat (see Figure 3) contains the high limit (energy cutoff) sensor. The high limit switch interrupts main burner gas ow should the water temperature reach 20 3°F(19 5°C).

In the event of high limit switch operation, the appliance cannot be restarted unless the water temperature is reduced to approximately 120°F (49°C). The high limit reset button on the front of the control

then needs to be depressed.

Continued manual resetting of high limit control, preceded by higher than usual water temperature is evidence of high limit switch operation. The following is a possible reason for high limit switch operation.

A malfunction in the thermostatic controls would allow the gas valve to remain open causing water temperature to exceed the thermostat setting. The water temperature would continue to rise until high limit switch operation.

Contact your dealer or service agent if continued high limit switch operation occurs.

EXHAUST INDUCER (BLOWER ASSEMBLY)

All units are equipped with a exhaust inducer. The inducer assists in drawing in fresh air to the unit for combustion and then assists in dispensing the combustion by-products into the venting leading outside.

The exhaust inducer is equipped with a gravity controlled damper to reduce the amount of heat loss through the ue, improving efciency.

FIGURE 5 - EXHAUST INDUCER

FIGURE 3 - DIGITAL THERMOSTAT

ELECTRONIC IGNITION CONTROL

Each heater is equipped with a ignition module. The solid state ignition control (see Figure 4), ignites the main burner by utilizing a silicone nitride ignitor. The silicone nitride ignitor shuts off during the heating cycle and the main burner ame is sensed through a remote ame sensor integral to the silicone nitride ignitor assembly. The ignition control will try to ignite the main burner three times before lockout. Then it waits one hour before trying again to ignite the main burners. This is a continuous cycle.

CIRCULATING PUMP

A circulating pump is used when a system requires a circulating loop or there is a storage tank used in conjunction with the heater. Refer to the piping diagrams at rear of manual for electrical hookup information and install in accordance with the latest version of the National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70.

Only all bronze circulators are used with commercial water

heaters.

Although circulators are oiled and operated by the manufacturer some circulators must be oiled again before operating. Please refer to manufacturer’s instructions.

DISHWASHING MACHINE REQUIREMENT

These appliances meet the National Sanitation Foundation Standard for sanitary installations when used with the following leg kit part number 9003425205.

All dishwashing machines meeting the National Sanitation Foundation requirements are designed to operate with water ow pressures between 15 and 25 psi. Flow pressures above 25 psi, or below 15 psi, will result in improperly sanitized dishes. Where pressures are high, a water pressure reducing or ow regulating control valve should be used in 180°F (82°C) line to the dishwashing machine, and should be adjusted to deliver water between these limits.

FIGURE 4 - IGNITION CONTROL BOARD

The National Sanitation Foundation also recommends circulation of 180°F (82°C) water. Where this is done, the circulation should be very gentle so that it does not cause any unnecessary turbulence inside the water heater. The circulation should be just enough to provide 180°F (82°C) water at the point of take-off to the dishwashing machine. Adjust ow by means of the plug cock in the circulating line.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REQUIRED ABILITY

INSTALLATION OR SERVICE OF THIS WATER HEATER REQUIRES ABILITY EQUIVALENT TO THAT OF A LICENSED TRADESMAN IN THE FIELD INVOLVED. PLUMBING, AIR SUPPLY, VENTING, GAS SUPPLY AND ELECTRICAL WORK ARE REQUIRED.

WARNING

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.

UNCRATING

The heater is shipped with the inducer already installed. The wiring conduit runs from the thermostat to the inducer. Before turning unit on, check to make sure wiring conduit is securely plugged into the inducer.

LOCATING THE HEATER

WARNING

THERE IS A RISK IN USING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS GAS WATER HEATERS IN ROOMS, GARAGES OR OTHER AREAS WHERE GASOLINE, OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR ENGINE DRIVEN EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES ARE STORED, OPERATED OR REPAIRED. FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE HEAVY AND TRAVEL ALONG THE FLOOR AND MAY BE IGNITED BY THE HEATER’S PILOT OR MAIN BURNER FLAMES CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION. SOME LOCAL CODES PERMIT OPERATION OF GAS APPLIANCES IN SUCH AREAS IF THEY ARE INSTALLED 18” OR MORE ABOVE THE FLOOR. THIS MAY REDUCE THE RISK IF LOCATION IN SUCH AN AREA CANNOT BE AVOIDED.

DO NOT INSTALL THIS WATER HEATER DIRECTLY ON A CARPETED FLOOR. A FIRE HAZARD MAY RESULT. Instead the

water heater must be placed on a metal or wood panel extending beyond the full width and depth by at least 3 inches in any direction. If the heater is installed in a carpeted alcove, the entire oor shall be covered by the panel. Also, see the DRAINING requirements in MAINTENANCE Section.

THE HEATER SHALL BE LOCATED OR PROTECTED SO IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO PHYSICAL DAMAGE BY A MOVING VEHICLE.

WARNING

FLAMMABLE ITEMS, PRESSURIZED CONTAINERS OR ANY OTHER POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARDOUS ARTICLES MUST NEVER BE PLACED ON OR ADJACENT TO THE HEATER. OPEN CONTAINERS OR FLAMMABLE MATERIAL SHOULD NOT BE STORED OR USED IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THE HEATER.

When installing the heater, consideration must be given to proper location. Location selected should be as close to the stack or chimney as practicable, with adequate air supply and as centralized with the piping system as possible.

THE HEATER MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.

LOCATE IT NEAR A FLOOR DRAIN. THE HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE LEAKAGE FROM THE HEATER OR CONNECTIONS WILL NOT RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE ADJACENT AREA OR TO LOWER FLOORS OF THE STRUCTURE. WHEN SUCH LOCATIONS CANNOT BE AVOIDED, A SUITABLE DRAIN PAN SHOULD BE INSTALLED UNDER THE HEATER. Such

pans should be fabricated with sides at least 2” deep, with length and width at least 2” greater than the diameter of the heater and must be piped to an adequate drain. The pan must not restrict combustion air ow.

For appliance installation locations with elevations above 20 0 0 feet (610 m), refer to HIGH ALTITU DE INSTALL ATIO NS section of this manual for input reduction procedure.

LEVELING

If the unit is not level, insert the bolts which were used in crating into the legs to correct this condition.

CLEARANCES

These heaters are approved for installation on combustible ooring in an alcove when the minimum clearance from any combustion construction are followed as indicated in gure 6.

In all installations the minimum combustible clearances from vent piping shall be 6”. Vent piping passing through a combustible wall or ceiling must be a continuous run (no joints) and retain the 6” clearance unless an approved reducing thimble is used.

A service clearance of 24” should be maintained from serviceable parts, such as relief valves, ue bafes, thermostats, cleanout openings or drain valves.

The units are approved for installation with side, rear and ceiling clearances.

HARD WATER

Where hard water conditions exist, water softening or threshold type of water treatment is recommended. This will protect dishwashers, coffee urns, water heaters, water piping and other equipment.

See MAINTENANCE section for details of tank cleanout procedure.

CLOSED WATER SYSTEMS

Water supply systems may, because of code requirements or such conditions as high line pressure, among others, have installed devices such as pressure reducing valves, check valves, and back ow preventers. Devices such as these cause the water system to be a closed system.

THERMAL EXPANSION

As water is heated, it expands (thermal expansion). In a closed system the volume of water will grow when it is heated. As the volume of water grows there will be a corresponding increase in water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can cause premature tank failure (leakage). This type of failure is not covered under the limited warranty. Thermal expansion can also cause intermittent Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve operation: water discharged from the valve due to excessive pressure build up. This condition is not covered under the limited warranty. The Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve is not intended for the constant relief of thermal expansion.

A properly sized thermal expansion tank must be installed on all closed systems to control the harmful effects of thermal expansion. Contact a local plumbing service agency to have a thermal expansion tank installed.

AIR REQUIREMENTS

REFER TO THE LATEST EDITION OF THE “NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE” ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54.

KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLES, VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

DO NOT OBSTRUCT THE FLOW OF COMBUSTION OR VENTILATING AIR.

WARNING

FOR SAFE OPERATION PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FOR COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION. AN INSUFFICIENT SUPPLY OF AIR WILL CAUSE RECIRCULATION OF COMBUSTION PRODUCTS RESULTING IN AIR CONTAMINATION THAT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO LIFE. SUCH A CONDITION OFTEN WILL RESULT IN A YELLOW, LUMINOUS BURNER FLAME,

FIGURE 6 - ILLUSTRATION OF MINIMUM COMBUSTIBLE CLEARANCES IN AN ALCOVE

CAUSING CARBONING OR SOOTING OF THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER, BURNERS AND FLUE TUBES AND CREATES A RISK OF ASPHYXIATION.

Where an exhaust fan is supplied in the same room with a heater, sufcient openings for air must be provided in the walls.

UNDERSIZED OPENINGS WILL CAUSE AIR TO BE DRAWN INTO THE ROOM THROUGH THE CHIMNEY, CAUSING POOR COMBUSTION. SOOTING MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS DAMAGE

TO THE HEATER AND RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

UNCONFINED SPACE

In buildings of conventional frame, brick, or stone construction, unconned spaces may provide adequate air for combustion, ventilation and draft hood dilution.

If the unconned space is within a building of tight construction (buildings using the following construction: weather stripping, heavy insulation, caulking, vapor barrier, etc.), air for combustion, ventilation and draft hood dilution must be obtained from outdoors. The installation instructions for confined spaces in tightly constructed buildings must be followed to ensure adequate air supply.

CONFINED SPACE

When drawing combustion and dilution air from inside a conventionally constructed building to a conned space, such a space shall be provided with two permanent openings, ONE IN OR WITHIN 12 INCHES OF THE ENCLOSURE TOP AND ONE IN OR WITHIN 12 INCHES OF THE ENCLOSURE BOTTOM. Each opening shall have a free area of at least one square inch per 1000 Btuh of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure, but not less than 100 square inches.

If the conned space is within a building of tight construction, air for combustion, ventilation, must be obtained from outdoors. When directly communicating with the outdoors or communicating with the outdoors through vertical ducts, two permanent openings, located in the above manner, shall be provided. Each opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch per 4000 Btuh of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure. If horizontal ducts are used, each opening shall have a free area of not less than one square inch per 2000 Btuh of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure.

VENTING

WARNING

THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SECTION ON VENTING MUST BE FOLLOWED TO AVOID CHOKED COMBUSTION OR RECIRCULATION OF FLUE GASES. SUCH CONDITIONS CAUSE SOOTING OR RISKS OF FIRE AND ASPHYXIATION.

Heater must be protected from freezing downdrafts.

Remove all soot or other obstructions from the chimney that will

retard a free draft.

Type B venting is recommended with these heaters.

This water heater must be vented in compliance with all local codes, the current revision of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI-Z223.1) and with the Category I Venting Tables.

If any part of the vent system are exposed to ambient temperatures below 40°F (4°C) it must be insulated to prevent condensation.

The following steps shall be followed with each appliance connected to the venting system placed in operation, while any other appliances connected to the venting system are not

in operation.

1. Seal any unused openings in the venting system.

2. Inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch, as required in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3. So far as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the water heater(s) connected to the venting system are located and other spaces of the building. Turn on all appliances not connected to the venting system. Turn on all exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they shall operate at maximum speed. Close replace dampers.

4. Follow the lighting instruction. Place the water heater being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously.

5. After it has been determined that each appliance connected to the venting system properly vents when tested as outlined above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions

of use.

6. If improper venting is observed during any of the above tests, the venting system must be corrected.

WARNING

FAILURE TO CORRECT BACK DRAFTS MAY CAUSE AIR CONTAMINATION AND UNSAFE CONDITIONS.

• If the back draft cannot be corrected by the normal method or if a suitable draft cannot be obtained, a blower type ue gas exhauster must be employed to assure proper venting and correct combustion.

• Do not connect the heater to a common vent or chimney with solid fuel burning equipment. This practice is prohibited by many local building codes as is the practice of venting gas red equipment to the duct work of ventilation systems.

FIGURE 7

• Where a separate vent connection is not available and the vent pipe from the heater must be connected to a common vent with an oil burning furnace, the vent pipe should enter the smaller common vent or chimney at a point above the large vent pipe.

CAUTION

A closed system will exist if a check valve (without bypass), pressure reducing valve (without bypass), or a water meter (without bypass) is installed in the cold water line between the water heater and street main (or well).

Excessive pressure may develop in such closed systems, causing premature tank failure or intermittent relief valve operation. This is not a warranty failure. An expansion tank or a similar device may be required in the inlet supply line between the appliance and the meter or valve to compensate for the thermal expansion of the water.

MULTIPLE HEATER MANIFOLD

When horizontally manifolding two or more heaters vent as shown in Figure 8. Refer to NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1 for venting multiple heaters.

FIGURE 8

WATER LINE CONNECTIONS

This manual provides detailed installation diagrams (see pages 12 thru 17 of this manual) for typical methods of application for the water heaters.

The water heater may be installed by itself, or with a separate storage tank, on both single and two-temperature systems. When used with a separate storage tank, the circulation may be either by gravity or by means of a circulating pump. When a circulating pump is used it is important to note that the ow rate should be slow so that there will be a minimum of turbulence inside the heater.

If a water heater is installed in a closed water system, contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.

WATER (POTABLE) HEATING

AND SPACE HEATING

1. All piping components connected to this unit for space heating

applications shall be suitable for use with potable water.

2. Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, shall NEVER be introduced into this system.

3. This unit may NEVER be connected to any existing heating system or component(s) previously used with a non-potable

water heating appliance.

4. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than required for domestic water purposes, a tempering valve must be installed. Please refer to installation diagrams on pages 12 thru 17 of this manual for suggested

piping arrangements.

5. These water heaters cannot be used in space heating applications only.

SYSTEM CONNECTIONS

The system installation must conform to these instructions and to the local code authority having jurisdiction. Good practice requires that all heavy piping be supported.

THERMOMETERS (Not Supplied)

Thermometers should be obtained and eld installed as shown in the installation diagrams.

Thermometers are installed in the system as a means of detecting the temperature of the outlet water supply.

RELIEF VALVE

This water heater is equipped with a combination temperature-pressure relief valve that complies with the standard for relief valves and automatic gas shutoff devices for hot water supply system, ANSI Z21.22. FOR SAFE OPERATION OF

THE WATER HEATER, THE RELIEF VALVE(S) MUST NOT BE REMOVED OR PLUGGED.

ASME ratings cover pressure relief capacities. CSA ratings cover release rate with temperature actuation.

In addition to the appliance relief valve, each remote storage tank which may be used in conjunction with this appliance shall also be installed with a properly sized, rated and approved combination temperature (ANSI) and pressure (ASME) relief valve(s).

WARNING

THE PURPOSE OF RELIEF VALVE IS TO AVOID EXCESSIVE PRESSURE OR TEMPERATURE INTO THE STEAM RANGE, WHICH MAY CAUSE SCALDING AT FIXTURES, TANK EXPLOSION, SYSTEM OR HEATER DAMAGE. NO VALVE IS TO BE PLACED BETWEEN THE RELIEF VALVE AND TANK.

Your local code authority may have other specic relief valve requirements.

A DRAIN LINE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE RELIEF VALVE TO DIRECT DISCHARGE TO A SAFE LOCATION TO AVOID SCALDING OR WATER DAMAGE. THIS LINE MUST NOT BE REDUCED FROM THE SIZE OF THE VALVE OUTLET AND MUST NOT CONTAIN VALVES, RESTRICTIONS NOR SHOULD IT BE LOCATED IN FREEZING AREAS. DO NOT THREAD OR CAP THE END OF THIS LINE. RESTRICTED OR BLOCKED DISCHARGE WILL DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THE VALVE AND IS UNSAFE. DISCHARGE LINE SHALL BE INSTALLED TO ALLOW COMPLETE DRAINAGE OF BOTH THE VALVE AND LINE.

See SERVICE INFORMATION section for procedure and precautions.

GAS PIPING

Contact your local gas service company to ensure that adequate gas service is available and to review applicable installation codes

for your area.

Size the main gas line in accordance with Table 2. The gures shown are for straight lengths of pipe at 0.5 in. W.C. pressure drop, which is considered normal for low pressure systems. Note: Fittings such as elbows, tees and line regulators will add to the pipe pressure drop. Also refer to the latest version of the National Fuel Gas Code.

To prevent damage, care must be taken not to apply too much torque when attaching gas supply pipe to gas valve inlet.

Apply joint compounds (pipe dope) sparingly and only to the male threads of pipe joints. Do not apply compounds to the rst two threads. Use compounds resistant to the action of liqueed petroleum gases.

BEFORE PLACING THE HEATER IN OPERATION, CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGE. Use soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the purpose in locating the leaks. DO NOT USE MATCHES, CANDLES, FLAME OR OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION FOR THIS PURPOSE.

WARNING

THE HEATER IS NOT INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT HIGHER THAN 14.0” W.C.(3.48 kPa) - NATURAL GAS, 14.0” W.C.(3.48kPa) EXPOSURE TO HIGHER SUPPLY PRESSURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE GAS VALVE WHICH COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION. IF OVERPRESSURE HAS OCCURRED SUCH AS THROUGH IMPROPER TESTING OF GAS LINES OR EMERGENCY MALFUNCTION OF THE SUPPLY SYSTEM, THE GAS VALVE MUST BE CHECKED FOR SAFE OPERATION. MAKE SURE THAT THE OUTSIDE VENTS ON THE SUPPLY REGULATORS AND THE SAFETY VENT VALVES ARE PROTECTED AGAINST BLOCKAGE. THESE ARE PARTS OF THE GAS SUPPLY SYSTEM, NOT THE HEATER. VENT BLOCKAGE MAY OCCUR DURING ICE STORMS.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO GUARD AGAINST GAS VALVE FOULING FROM CONTAMINANTS IN THE GAS WAYS. SUCH FOULING MAY CAUSE IMPROPER OPERATION, FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

IF COPPER SUPPLY LINES ARE USED THEY MUST BE INTERNALLY TINNED AND CERTIFIED FOR GAS SERVICE. BEFORE ATTACHING THE GAS LINE, BE SURE THAT ALL GAS PIPE IS CLEAN ON THE INSIDE.

TO TRAP ANY DIRT OR FOREIGN MATERIAL IN THE GAS SUPPLY LINE, A DIRT LEG (SOMETIMES CALLED SEDIMENT TRAP OR DRIP LEG) MUST BE INCORPORATED IN THE PIPING (SEE FIG. 9). THE DIRT LEG MUST BE READILY ACCESSIBLE AND NOT SUBJECT TO FREEZING CONDITIONS. INSTALL IN ACCORDANCE WITH RECOMMENDATIONS OF SERVING GAS SUPPLIERS. REFER TO THE LATEST VERSION OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE.

DISCONNECT THE HEATER AND ITS MANUAL GAS SHUTOFF VALVE FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY SUPPLY PRESSURE TESTING EXCEEDING 1/2 PSIG. GAS SUPPLY LINE MUST BE CAPPED WHEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE HEATER FOR TEST PRESSURES OF 1/2 PSIG OR LESS. THE APPLIANCE NEED NOT BE DISCONNECTED, BUT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE SUPPLY PRESSURE TEST BY CLOSING THE MANUAL GAS SHUTOFF VALVE.

PURGING

Gas line purging is required with new piping or systems in which

air has entered.

CAUTION

PURGING SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY PERSONS EXPERIENCED IN THIS TYPE GAS SERVICE. TO AVOID RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION, PURGE DISCHARGE MUST NOT ENTER CONFINED AREAS OR SPACES WHERE IGNITION CAN OCCUR. THE AREA MUST BE WELL VENTILATED AND ALL SOURCES OF IGNITION MUST BE INACTIVATED OR REMOVED.

GAS METER SIZE — NATURAL GASES ONLY

Be sure the gas meter has sufcient capacity to supply the full rated gas input of the water heater as well as the requirements of all other gas red equipment supplied by the meter. If gas meter is too small, ask the gas company to install a larger meter having adequate capacity.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR

The gas pressure regulator is built into the gas valve and is equipped to operate on the gas specied on model and rating plate. The regulator is factory adjusted to deliver gas to burner at correct water column pressure allowing for a nominal pressure drop through the controls.

The minimum gas supply pressure for input adjustment must not be less than 4.5” w.c. for natural gas.

Do not subject the combination gas valve to inlet gas pressures of more than 14.0” W.C. - natural gas. A service regulator is necessary if higher gas pressures are encountered. Manifold gas pressure in inches of water column is 3.5.

The gas pressure specied refers to ow pressure taken at pressure tap of automatic gas valve while heater is operating.

HEATER WIRING

All electrical work must be installed in accordance with the latest version of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70,

3. Fully open the cold water inlet pipe valve allowing the heater and piping to be lled.

4. Close the hot water faucet as water starts to ow.

5. The heater is ready to be operated.

WARNING

THE GAS VALVE MUST HAVE BEEN IN THE OFF POSITION FOR AT LEAST 5 MINUTES. This waiting period is an important safety step. Its purpose is to permit gas that may have accumulated in the combustion chamber to clear. IF YOU DETECT GAS ODOR AT THE END OF THIS PERIOD DO NOT PROCEED WITH LIGHTING. RECOGNIZE THAT GAS EVEN IF IT SEEMS WEAK, MAY INDICATE PRESENCE OF ACCUMULATED GAS SOMEPLACE IN THE AREA WITH RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. SEE THE FRONT PAGE FOR STEPS TO BE TAKEN.

All gas and water lines leak tested and open.

Read SEQUENCE OF OPERATION section of this manual prior to lighting and operating this appliance.

With above conditions satised, start the unit in accordance with the instructions on the Operating label attached to the heater. If label instructions are not legible - determine which gas valve the appliance is equipped with and use the applicable OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS as follows:

Each heater is equipped with an ignition control board. The controller will try three times to light the main burner before going

ADJUSTMENTS

ON INITIAL STARTUP SOME ADJUSTMENTS ARE NECESSARY.

1. CHECK MANIFOLD AND INLET GAS PRESSURES.

2. CYCLE CHECK - CHECK AT LEAST ONE BURNER OPERATION - WHEN THERMOSTAT IS SATISFIED, BURNER WILL SHUT OFF AND INDUCER WILL STOP RUNNING. ON CALL FOR HEAT - THE INDUCER WILL COME ON AND CLOSE THE PRESSURE SWITCH AND THE IGNITION SEQUENCE DESCRIBED ABOVE WILL BEGIN, SEE “SEQUENCE OF OPERATION”.

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

The following information will describe the Sequence of Operation for this appliance.

1. Switch power on to unit.

2. Thermostat calls for heat.

3. Ignition Control Board performs diagnostic check on system components.

4. On completion of diagnostics check, the Ignition Control Board sends signal to Exhaust Inducer.

5. Exhaust Inducer begins drawing air through appliance closing the Prover Switch.

6. On completion of Prover Switch engagement, the Ignition Control Board begins the ignition cycle.

7. The Ignition Control Board provides power to the Silicon Nitride Ignitor.

8. The Silicon Nitride Ignitor heats up for approximately 17 to 20 seconds.

9. At the end of Silicon Nitride Ignitor’s warm-up, the Ignition Control Board opens the Gas Valve.

10. From the time the Gas Valve opens, the Ignition Control Board waits 3 seconds and then shuts off power to the Silicon Nitride Ignitor.

11. From the time the Silicon Nitride Ignitor’s power is shut off, the Ignition Control Board waits 3 more seconds to monitor the Flame Sensor.

12. If the Flame Sensor does not detect a strong enough ame, the Ignition Control Board shuts off the Gas Valve and allows the Exhaust Inducer to purge the unit for 20 seconds. At that time, the Ignition Control Board restarts with step 7. It will try and ignite the main burners 2 more times. If the unit does not light, the Ignition Control Board will wait one hour and then restart at step 3. This cycle will continue until the unit lights or the power is shutoff to the unit.

13. If the Flame Sensor detects a strong ame, the Ignition Control Board will allow the unit to operate until the thermostat is satised.

14. Once the unit is satised, the Ignition Control Board will shut off the Gas Valve and the unit will be in standby mode until another call for heat is initiated by the thermostat.

WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL

DANGER

THIS WATER HEATER IS EQUIPPED WITH AN ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT TO CONTROL WATER TEMPERATURE. HOT WATER TEMPERATURES REQUIRED FOR AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER AND LAUNDRY USE CAN CAUSE SCALD BURNS RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR DEATH. THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH INJURY OCCURS VARIES WITH THE PERSON’S AGE AND TIME OF EXPOSURE. THE SLOWER RESPONSE TIME OF CHILDREN, AGED OR DISABLED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARDS TO THEM. NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN TO USE A HOT WATER TAP, OR TO DRAW THEIR OWN BATH WATER. NEVER LEAVE A CHILD OR DISABLED PERSON UNATTENDED IN A BATHTUB OR SHOWER.

be set for 120° to 180°F water temperature, but 120°F is the recommended starting point. It is suggested the dial be placed on the lowest setting which produces an acceptable hot water supply. This will always give the most energy efcient operation. The temperature control has a 4°F (2°C) xed differential.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE

CHECK THE IGNITOR ASSEMBLY

At least once a year, check the ignitor assembly, see Figure 11, and the main burner, see Figure 12, for proper operation. Refer to the following ignitor assembly and main burner sections.

IGNITOR ASSEMBLY

For access to ignitor assembly, unfasten two screws to burner cover and remove. Locate the burner with the ignitor assembly and remove screw holding burner to manifold. Slide burner out to access ignitor assembly.

Servicing of the ignitor assembly includes keeping the ignitor free of lint, scale or any other foreign debris.

THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SET TEMPERATURES.

SETTING THE WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE AT 120°F (49°C) WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDS. Some states or

provinces require settings at specic lower temperatures.

Below you will nd listed the approximate time-to-burn relationship for normal adult skin. Short repeated heating cycles caused by small hot water uses can cause temperatures at the point of use to exceed the thermostat setting by up to 20°F (11°C). If you experience this type of use, you should consider using lower temperature settings to reduce scald hazards.

Water Time to Produce 2nd & 3rd Temperature Degree Burns on Adult Skin

185°F Nearly instantaneous 180°F Nearly instantaneous 170°F Nearly instantaneous 160°F About 1/2 second 150°F About 1-1/2 seconds 140°F Less than 5 seconds 130°F About 30 seconds 120°F More than 5 minutes

Valves for reducing point-of-use temperature by mixing cold and hot water are available. Also available are inexpensive devices that attach to faucets to limit hot water temperatures. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority.

FIGURE 11

MAIN BURNER

The main burner, see Figure 12, should display the following characteristics:

• Cause rapid ignition and carry across entire burner.

• Give reasonably quiet operation during ignition, burning, and extinction.

• Cause no excessive lifting of ame from burner ports.

The water temperature is controlled by a thermostat, see Figure 3, which has two sensing elements. One sensor is located near the top of the tank and the other is near the center. The thermostat is set in the lowest position before the heater leaves the factory.

The thermostat temperature dial, see Figure 3, is accessible by removing the control cover. The dial is adjustable and may

FIGURE 12

If the preceding burner characteristics are not evident, check for accumulation of lint, scale or other foreign debris that restricts or blocks the air openings to the burner or heater.

NOTE:

1. Remove main burners from unit.

2. Check that burner venturi and ports are free of foreign

debris.

3. Clean burners with bristle brush and/or vacuum cleaner

- DO NOT distort burner ports or pilot location.

4. Reinstall burners in unit. Make sure front and rear of burners are installed correctly in burner support brackets.

Also check for good ow of combustion and ventilating air to the unit. Maintain a clear area around the heater at all times.

GAS VALVES

Figure 13 shows the type of combination manual gas control valve and regulator used on these heaters.

If the gas valve becomes defective, repairs should not be attempted. A new valve should be installed in place of the defective one.

FIGURE 13

3. Remove the regulator adjustment sealing cap, see Figure 13, and adjust the pressure by turning the adjusting screw with a screwdriver.

Clockwise to increase gas pressure and input rate.

Counterclockwise to decrease gas pressure and input

rate.

4. “Clock” the meter as in step 2 above.

5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until the specied input rate is achieved.

6. Turn the gas control knob to PILOT. Remove the pressure

gauge and replace the sealing cap and the allen wrench set screw in the pressure tap opening.

WARNING UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE GAS INPUT EXCEED THE INPUT SHOWN ON THE HEATER MODEL AND RATING PLATE. OVERFIRING COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE OR SOOTING OF THE HEATER.

When the heater is operating at full capacity, or full gas input, it should consume 1 cu. ft. of gas in time indicated on Table 3.

TABLE 3

APPROXIMATE TIME REQUIRED TO CONSUME

TIME REQ’D INPUT TYPE BTUH TO CONSUME RATE OF PER 1 CU. FT. (BTUH) GAS CU. FT. OF GAS

154,000 NATURAL 1050 24.5 SEC.

199,000 NATURAL 1050 19.0 SEC.

1 CU. FT. OF GAS AT FULL CAPACITY

CHECKING THE INPUT

For appliance installation locations with elevations above 2000 feet, refer to HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS section of this manual for input reduction procedure.

1. Attach a pressure gauge or a manometer to the gauge port and refer to the GAS PRESSURE REGULATOR section for correct manifold pressure.

2. Use this formula to “clock” the meter. Be sure that other gas consuming appliances are not operating during this interval.

3600 X H = Btuh T

T = Time in seconds to burn one cubic foot of gas.

H = Btu’s per cubic foot of gas.

Btuh = Actual heater input.

Example:

T = 15.1 seconds

H = 1050 Btu

Btuh = ?

19 X 1050 = 199,999 Btuh

Should it be necessary to adjust the gas pressure to the burners to obtain the full input rate, the steps below should be followed:

Figures shown are valid for 0-2000 ft.(0-610m) installations. See “HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS” for deration requirements over 2000 ft.(610m).

VENTING SYSTEM

Examine the venting system every six months for obstructions and/or deterioration of the vent piping.

Remove all soot or other obstructions from chimney which will

retard free draft.

REMOTE STORAGE TANK

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The water temperature in the storage tank (if used) is controlled by the storage tank temperature control. The sensing element is mounted in the hot water storage tank, see page 17.

A change in water temperature in the storage tank lower than the tank temperature control setting will cause the sensor to activate the circulating pump. The pump then circulates the water through the heater where the thermostat senses the drop in water temperature and activates main burner operation of the appliance. If the storage tank temperature control is out of calibration, replace with new control.

WARNING

SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, TURN OFF THE MANUAL GAS CONTROL VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE.

RELIEF VALVE

At least once a year, the temperature and pressure relief valve should be checked to ensure that it is in operating condition. Lift the lever at the top of the valve several times until the valve seats properly and operates freely.

If the appliance installation includes other relief valves, such as in “remote” storage tanks etc., check their relief valve operation with the same frequency.

NOTE: Anode rod inspection may need to be made more frequently in areas subject to acid rain that obtains their water supply from surface water as the low pH will accelerate anode activity.

CAUTION: Close cold water inlet valve serving heater and open nearby hot water faucet to relieve the pressure in the heater before attempting to remove anode(s) for inspection.

FLUSHING

WARNING

THE WATER PASSING OUT OF THE VALVE DURING THIS CHECKING OPERATION MAY BE EXTREMELY HOT. AVOID CONTACT AND DISCHARGE SAFELY TO PREVENT WATER DAMAGE.

If the temperature and pressure relief valve on the heater discharges periodically or continuously, a problem exists. This may be due to unusually high water temperatures or pressures in the syst e m , or to a faulty relief valve . Contact your dealer or a qualied service technician to nd the cause of the problem and to correct it. This may also be due to thermal expansion in a closed water supply system. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to correct this situation.

DO NOT PLUG THE TEMPER ATURE AND PRESSURE REL I EF VALVE.

WARNING

SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, TURN OFF THE MANUAL GAS CONTROL VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE.

HOT WATER ODOR

On occasion, hot water may develop a strong odor. If this occurs drain the heater completely, ush thoroughly, and rell. If the problem persists, chlorination of the heater and replacement of the factory installed magnesium anodes with aluminum anodes may correct the condition.

Occasionally water softener companies recommend removal of

heater anodes for odor reasons.

CAUTION

Unauthorized removal of the anode(s) will void the warranty. For further information contact your dealer.

ANODE ROD INSPECTION

The heater tank is equipped with anode rods to provide corrosion control. At least once a year the anode rods should be checked to determine if replacement is necessary. Initially the anode rods are approximately 7/8” in diameter with a 1/8” diameter steel core wire running down the center of the anode material. THE ANODES SHOULD BE REPLACED when the 1/8” diameter core wire is visible as this means that the anode material has been expended in the control of corrosion.

For models with top inlet and outlet, it is recommended that, before removing the inner cover for cleaning, inspection or removal of inner parts, you obtain two new nipple collars. The nipple collars on the heater will usually be damaged when removed. New pipe collars will insure that the seal is such as to prevent leakage of ue products when properly installed.

1. Turn off the heater electrical disconnect switch.

2. Open the drain valve and allow water to ow until it runs clean.

3. Close the drain valve when nished ushing.

4. Turn on the heater electrical disconnect switch.

DRAINING

The heater must be drained if it is to be shut down and exposed to freezing temperatures. Maintenance and service procedures may also require draining the heater.

1. Turn off the heater electrical disconnect switch.

2. Close the cold water inlet valve to heater.

3. Open a nearby hot water faucet to vent the system.

4. Open the heater drain valve.

5. If the heater is being drained for an extended shutdown, it is suggested the drain valve be left open during this period.

• Follow FILLING instructions when restoring hot water service.

RECOMMENDED PROCEDURE FOR PERIODIC

REMOVAL OF LIME DEPOSITS FROM TANK

TYPE COMMERCIAL WATER HEATERS

The amount of calcium carbonate (lime) released from water is in direct proportion to water temperature and usage, see chart. The higher the water temperature or water usage, the more lime deposits are dropped out of the water. This is the lime scale which forms in pipes, heaters and on cooking utensils.

Lime accumulation not only reduces the life of equipment but also reduces efciency of the heater and increases fuel consumption. The usage of water softening equipment greatly reduces the hardness of the water. However, this equipment does not always remove all of the hardness (lime). For this reason it is recommended that a regular schedule for deliming be maintained.

The time between cleaning will vary from weeks to months depending upon water conditions and usage. The depth of lime buildup should be measured periodically. Heaters equipped with cleanouts will have about 2” of lime buildup when the level of lime has reached the bottom of the cleanout opening. A schedule for deliming should then be set up,based on the amount of time it would take for a 1” buildup of lime. It is recommended that the water heater initially be inspected after 6 months.

Example 1:

If initial inspection after 6 months shows 1/2” of lime accumulation. Therefore, the heater should be delimed once a year.

Example 2:

If initial inspection after 6 months shows 2” of lime accumulation. Therefore, the heater should be delimed every 3 months.

6. Install cleanout plate. Be sure to draw plate up tight by tightening screws securely.

7. Replace outer jacket cover plate.

In some water areas the sediment might not be removed by this method and may result in the water heater making rumbling or boiling noises.

IGNITION MODULE SYSTEM

Before calling your service agent, the following checklist should be examined to eliminate obvious problems from those requiring replacement or servicing.

— Check that “main manual gas shutoff valve” is fully open and

that gas service has not been interrupted.

— Check that after following the appliance OPERATING

INSTRUCTIONS, the “Top Knob” of the appliance gas valve is in “ON” position.

— Check electrical supply to the appliance for possible blown (or

tripped) fusing or power interruption.

— Is the water temperature in tank below the thermostat dial

setting on the appliance thermostat (calling for heat)?

CAUTION

Observe handling instructions on label of product being used.

TANK CLEANOUT PROCEDURE

The following practices will ensure longer life and enable the unit to operate at its designed efciency:

1. Once a month the heater should be ushed. Open drain valve and allow two gallons of water to drain from the heater. Inlet water valve should remain open to maintain pressure in tank.

2. A cleanout opening is provided for periodic cleaning of the tank. Gas must be shut off and heater drained before opening cleanout.

To clean heater through cleanout opening, proceed as follows:

1. Drain heater.

2. Remove outer cover plate from lower side of heater jacket.

3. Remove six (6) hex head screws securing tank cleanout plate and remove plate.

4. Remove lime, scale, or sediment using care not to damage the glass lining.

5. Inspect cleanout plate gasket, if new gasket is required, replace with part no. 9004099215.

— It is possible that the high limit (E.C.O.) has functioned to shut

off the appliance. See FEATURES — Water Temperature Control for reset procedure. Contact your serviceman if limit continues to function to shut off appliance.

SYSTEM DIAGNOSTICS

Your water heater is equipped with an ignition module that incorporates a diagnostic system to assist in troubleshooting the appliance. The indicator codes on the ignition module are as follows:

1ash System lockout (retries or cycles exceeded)

2ashes Pressure switch stuck close

3ashes Pressure switch stuck open

4ashes Open on high temperature limit switch (eco)

6ashes 115 volt AC power reversed (check polarity)

7ashes

8ashes Check ignitor

continuous ash -> continuous ame sensed > 5 seconds without gas valve

continuous on -> internal control failure - replace ignition control module.

Use this diagnostic system in conjunction with the “OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST” and the “SEQUENCE OF OPERATION” to troubleshoot the appliance.

Low flame sense signal (make sure flame sensor is in burner ame)

SERVICE

The in s t a l l er may be ab l e to obser ve and correct cer t a i n pr o b l ems which may arise when the unit is put into operation. HOWEVER, it is recommended that only qualied servicemen, using appropriate test equipment, be allowed to service the heater.

As preliminary step, check wiring against diagram, check for grounded, broken or loose wire s. Check all wire ends to be sure that they are making good contact.

OPERATIONAL CHECKLIST

This checklist in conjunction with “TROUBLESHOOTING” and the “SEQUENCE OF OPERATION” should be used as an on-the-job troubleshooting guide to identify the cause of incorrect system operation and suggest a remedy for its correction. Because improper piping and wiring can result in unsatisfactory system performance, it is suggested that the installation be examined before using the checklist. Be sure to refer to the correct piping and wiring diagram for the type of system that is installed.

The system should be lled with water, purged of air, valves properly set and utilities connected and ready to operate.
