Installation & Operation Manual
1 General information
The Lochinvar Strato-Therm+ solar stratified tank (FIG. 1-1, page 5) is designed to use a solar collector system, in conjunction
with a back-up heat source, to generate domestic hot water. This solar tank consists of a spherical heat exchanger attached to an
unlined tank containing a corrugated 316L stainless steel coil. Tank components and specifications are detailed in FIG.’s 1-1 and
1-2 (pages 5 and 6), as well as Tables 1A - 1D.
Solar heated water is pumped through the spherical heat exchanger to heat the water in the tank. A backup heat source is used to
maintain desired tank temperature in the event that solar heated water is not available. The tank may be used to heat domestic
potable water which runs through the stainless steel coil. In addition to generating domestic hot water, this tank can have many
other applications including indirect pool heating and space heating. Consult the factory if your specific application is not
covered in this manual. The tank is not intended for use in gravity water heating applications.
Operating Restrictions:
• Maximum domestic hot water temperature is 194°F.
• Maximum boiler water temperature is 210°F.
• Maximum working pressure for the vessel is 125 psig.
Tank shipment
Tanks taller than 7.5 feet will be shipped horizontally. Four
shipping legs are used to secure the tank to a pallet, and holes
are provided in the top cover for access to lifting lugs. The
shipping legs should be removed when the tank is removed
from the shipping crate.
Use field-supplied insulation to pack the shipping and lug
compartments, then use the factory provided covers to
conceal compartments upon final installation.

2 Pre-installation
Installation & Operation Manual
1. The installation must conform to the instructions in this
manual and all applicable local, state, provincial, and
national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances.
Installations in Canada must conform to B149.2 Installation
Code.
2. Ensure that the domestic water supply to the stainless
steel coil has physical and chemical characteristics that fall
within the limits shown in Table 2A. Where questions exist
as to the composition of the water on the job site, a qualified
water treatment expert should be consulted.
CAUTION
3. Read and understand all installation requirements in
this manual.
Water with characteristics outside the limits
shown in Table 2A may severely shorten
the life of the domestic water coil due to
corrosion. Damage in such cases is not
covered under warranty.
Table 2A
Water Chemistry Requirements
Domestic potable water must have characteristics falling
within the following limits:
Characteristic Min. Max.
pH 6.5 9.5
Chloride (PPM) -- 200
Locating the Tank
1. Choose a location for the Strato-Therm+ centralized to
the piping system. You must also locate the Strato-Therm+
where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
Additionally, you will need to place the appliance so that
the controls, drain, and inlet/outlets are easily accessible.
This appliance must not be installed outdoors, as it is
certified as an indoor appliance, and must also be kept
vertical on a level surface.
2. Table 1C on page 5 shows the weight of all the tanks filled
with water. Ensure that the location chosen for the tank
is capable of supporting the weight.
CAUTION
3. The tank may be located some distance from the heat
source provided that the pump is designed to to provide
enough flow for both units to perform properly. The
further the distance from the tank to the heat source, the
longer the response time will be to provide sufficient heat
to the tank. Insulate piping between the heat source and
the tank.
This appliance must be placed where
leakage from the relief valve, leakage from
the related piping, or leakage from the
tank or connections, will not result in
damage to the surrounding areas, or to
the lower floors of the building. A water
heater should always be located in an area
with a floor drain or installed in a drain
pan suitable for water heaters. Lochinvar
shall not be held liable for any such water
damage.
WARNING
Failure to properly support the tank could
result in property damage or personal
injury.
Recommended Clearances
The installation location must provide adequate clearances
for servicing and proper operation of the appliance.
A 12-inch vertical clearance is recommended from the top of

Installation & Operation Manual
3 Solar connections
A solar thermal system consists of several components selected to work together to convert solar energy into hot water for various
applications. A controller is used to turn on a pump when the fluid in the solar collectors is warmer than the water in the StratoTherm+ tank. The pump will transport hot fluid from the collector to the heat exchanger and replace it with cooler fluid returning.
The collectors, pump station and heat exchanger are connected with supply and return piping that is insulated to minimize heat
losses (FIG. 3-1, page 10). The system is equipped with over-temperature and over-pressure devices that prevent unsafe operating
conditions. When multiple heat exchangers are used, they should connected in reverse-return arrangement (FIG. 3-2, page 10). This
will help ensure that solar heated water is distributed evenly between the heat exchangers. Pressure drop and maximum operating
values for the Strato-Therm+ spherical heat exchanger are listed in Tables 3A - 3C.
Installation and commissioning must be carried out by a licensed contractor. Take appropriate safety measures when carrying
out any installation work on the roof and observe all relevant accident prevention regulations. It is the installer’s responsibility to
comply with the building and installation codes in effect and all regulations that apply to the operation of a solar hot water system.

4 Domestic side piping
Installation & Operation Manual
Basic domestic piping
Figure 4-4 on page 17 shows typical domestic water and space
heating piping for a Strato-Therm+ tank. The stainless steel coil
requires properly sized piping and a properly sized pump to
maintain adequate domestic hot water delivery. Refer to Tables
4D and 4E on page 14 and 15 for domestic coil pressure drop.
The functions of the components shown are as follows:
a. Shut-off valves (recommended) - Used to isolate the
appliance for servicing.
b. Backflow Preventer (required by some codes) - Used to
prevent water from backing out of the indirect coil and
into the main potable water supply in the event that inlet
water pressure drops.
c. Expansion Tank (required for thermal expansion) - Tank
absorbs the increased volume caused by heating water.
Use an expansion tank designed for use on domestic water
systems. Refer to the expansion tank manufacturer’s
instructions for proper sizing and use.
NOTICE
d. Shock Arrestor (required by some codes) - Used to allow
water to accelerate or decelerate without a sudden change in
pressure.
If an expansion tank is used, do not put any
valves between the expansion tank and tank
inlet.
Domestic water piping for distant fixtures
In some cases the furthest fixture may be located far from the
tank. This may result in an unacceptable delay before hot water
reaches these distant fixtures. Even if all the fixtures are located
relatively close to the tank, it may be desired that hot water be
instantly available to all fixtures.
To prevent delays, return circulation piping with a check valve
that allows flow to the domestic hot water outlet. This should
be installed on each branch circuit at the farthest fixture or
device, so that hot water is supplied upon demand. Traditional
recirculation piping is illustrated in FIG. 4-1, page 12.
Because hot water is always circulating in the hot water branch,
the entire branch should be insulated to prevent excessive heat
loss.
When a hot water recirculation system is used there are two
piping arrangements that can be applied to the Strato-Therm+.
The first arrangement is for use in systems with up to 2 gal/
min circulation and requires the purchase of a recirculation
lance assembly (FIG. 4-5, page 18). The second arrangement
is for use in systems with greater than 2 gal/min circulation
that require higher performance and temperature (FIG. 4-6,
page 18).
e. Circulation Pump (recommended) - Used to circulate
and maintain hot water within the piping system.
f. Check Valve (required by some codes) - Used to allow
water to flow in only one direction, preventing back-flow.
g. Drain (required) - Used to drain the tank for inspection or
servicing.
h. Mixing valve (required) - Used to mix hot water with cold
water to ensure constant, safe outlet temperatures.
i. Unions (optional) - Used to disconnect the tank in the
unlikely event that this is necessary for service.
NOTICE
Be sure to field-install plugs or caps on any
tank tappings that are not in use.

Recirculation lance
Recirculation systems with up to 2 gal/min circulation
require the use of a recirculation lance assembly (TUB30000)
(FIG. 4-1). The lance is a stainless steel tube that is inserted
directly into the hot water connection of the tank and into the
stainless steel coil. As part of a continuous, slow-moving loop,
warm water is circulated directly back into the coil, via the lance,
maintaining tank stratification. Reference FIG. 4-5 on page 18
for typical recirculation lance piping.

Installation & Operation Manual
Direct piping to cold water inlet
When a re-circulation lance is not used, it is acceptable to
connect a building recirculation loop directly to the cold water
inlet of the Strato-Therm+ when flows are greater than 2 gal/
min returning to the tank. This method of building recirulation
will use the entire indirect coil to heat the recirulation loop. See
Figure 4-6 on page 18 for typical piping arrangement.
Multiple tank domestic water piping
Multiple tank installations must be done in the reverse-return
arrangement. This helps maintain the same flow and pressure
drop through the coil of each tank. Because the pressure drop
through tank coils varies from size to size, it is recommended
not to mix tanks with different coil sizes within the same zone.
Multiple tank domestic piping is illustrated in FIG. 4-7 on
page 19.
When high volume supply of hot water at a constant outlet
temperature is required, the Strato-Therm+ can be paired
with a large capacity storage tank (FIG. 4-8, page 19). In this
configuration the Strato-Therm+ will be able to meet high
demands with its instantaneous delivery rate. An Aquastat
control is used to control the water temperature between the
two tanks with a circulation pump. If a building recirculation
system is installed, the return water is brought back to the
storage tank so as not to disturb the stratification of the
Strato-Therm+.
Anti-scald mixing valves
Anti-scald valves used with water heaters are also called
tempering valves or mixing valves. An anti-scald valve mixes
cold water with the outgoing hot water to assure that hot water
reaching a building fixture is at the correct temperature.
NOTICE
The temperature of water going to the fixtures may be more
carefully controlled through the use of a thermostatic mixing
valve. This device blends a controlled amount of cold water
with the hot water leaving the tank so that water at a more
constant temperature exits the mixing valve. Anti-scald mixing
valve piping is illustrated in FIG.’s 4-4 thru 4-8, pages 17 - 19.
Always consult the mixing valve manufacturer’s instructions
and guidelines for correct piping and usage.
WARNING
WARNING
ASSE1017 and ASSE1070 certified mixing
valves are required.
Hot water can scald! To avoid scalding
potential, mixing valves must be selected and
installed according to valve manufacturer’s
instructions and recommendations. Mixing
valves should be installed by a licensed
contractor.
An anti-scald mixing valve does not
eliminate the risk of scalding.
* Feel water before bathing or showering.
* If anti-scald or anti-chill protection is
required, use devices specifically
designed for such service. Install
these devices in accordance with their
manufacturer’s instructions.

WARNING
The T&P relief valve is installed in the vertical position and
mounted in the outlet of the indirect coil as shown in FIG. 4-2.
Do not place a valve between the relief valve and the coil. To
prevent water damage, the discharge from the relief valve shall
be piped to a suitable floor drain for proper drainage when relief
occurs. Do not install reducing couplings or other restrictions
in the discharge line. The discharge line shall allow complete
drainage of the valve and line. Relief valves should be manually
operated at least once per year.
For protection against excessive
temperatures and pressure, install
temperature and pressure protective
equipment required by local codes. A
T&P relief valve must be certified by a
nationally recognized testing laboratory
that maintains periodic inspection of listed
equipment or materials. The equipment
and materials must meet the requirements
for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff
Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems,
ANSI Z21.22, as well as the standard
CAN1-4.4, Temperature, Pressure,
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valves and
Vacuum Relief Valves. The combination
T&P relief valve shall be marked with a
maximum set pressure, not to exceed the
maximum working pressure of the water
heater. It shall also have an hourly rated

5 Boiler side piping
Figures 5-1 and 5-2 show typical boiler piping for single and multi-tank situations. A pressure relief valve must be installed on each
boiler and each tank, as regulations require. The tank pressure relief valve should be sized to meet the working pressure of the tank
according to local codes.
Multiple tank connections (boiler side)
Boiler piping works most efficiently when it is done in the reverse-return application. This method uses more piping than direct
return systems, but the pressure drop and boiler flow are more balanced throughout each tank. To ensure even charging and
discharging of each tank, it is recommended that only tanks of the same size are placed in the same manifold. It is recommended
that each tank be equipped with its own isolation valves, unions and drains so that one tank may be removed from the system, if
necessary.

6 Startup and maintenance
Installation & Operation Manual
System startup
1. Make sure the system is free of leaks and that air is
purged from the system.
CAUTION
2. Many soldering fluxes contain Zinc Chloride which
can cause severe corrosion damage to stainless steel. After
completing all domestic water connections, flush the
Strato-Therm+ tank and indirect coil thoroughly before
leaving the installation. This is particularly important if the
Strato-Therm+ will be unused for an extended period of
time after installation. Flush the storage tank by drawing at
least three times its volume from the tank.
3. Make sure that each zone valve or circulator operates
when, and only when, its thermostat calls for heat. Let each
zone operate long enough to purge any remaining air from
the system.
Refer to the heat source and solar Installation and Operation
Manuals for additional start-up information.
Fix any leaks found before proceeding
further. Leakage from the heat source and
solar piping can result in severe damage to
the system.
Maintenance Schedule
The Lochinvar Strato-Therm+ solar tank is an extremely simple
device and as such requires very little maintenance. There are,
however, several items which should be inspected on an annual
or as needed basis to ensure a reliable supply of hot water:
* Ensure that the boiler and solar water piping are free of
leaks.
* If there is an oil lubricated circulator in the system, make
sure it is lubricated as called for by the circulator
manufacturer.
* Make sure that the heat source is maintained in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions.
* If a water treatment system is required to keep the water
chemistry within the parameters shown in Table 2A (see
Section 2 - Pre-Installation), make sure that this system is
properly maintained.
Annual service by a qualified service technician
should include the following:
Any procedure required by local codes.
Verify system pressure. Air venting procedure may require
adding water to bring boiler system up to pressure, typically
12 psig minimum.
Manually operate T&P relief valve at least once a year.
This will release some hot water.
WARNING
Verify that expansion tank pressure is equal to system
pressure.
Move operating lever to open position for a few seconds
and then move it back, allowing it to snap closed. After the
T&P relief valve is operated, if it continues to release water,
close the cold water inlet to the water heater immediately.
Follow the draining instructions, and replace the T&P
relief valve. If the T&P relief valve weeps periodically, it may
be due to thermal expansion. Do not plug the T&P relief
valve or discharge piping. In this case, ensure that the
expansion tank is properly sized and charged to the
appropriate pressure.
DANGER
Before operating a T&P relief valve, make
sure no one is in front of or around the T&P
relief valve discharge piping. Hot discharge
water can cause severe personal injury or
substantial property damage.
Plugging the T&P relief valve or discharge
piping can cause excessive pressure in the
water heater, resulting in severe personal
injury, death, or substantial property
damage.

6 Startup and maintenance (continued)
Installation & Operation Manual
Follow instructions on circulator to oil, if required.
Check mixing valve, valves, pipes, and fittings for leaks.
Check function of the field-installed controls and valves.
See component manufacturer’s instructions.
Review owner’s maintenance responsibilities and their
frequencies, including any not listed in the following
section.
Owner monthly maintenance to include:
Visually check valves, pipes, and fittings for leaks. Call a
qualified service technician to repair leaks.
Winterizing the system
Drain the tank and coil if it will be off and exposed to freezing
temperatures. Freezing water will expand and damage the water
heater.
• If the tank, spherical heat exchanger and heat source
water contain sufficient antifreeze, then only the
domestic coil water needs to be drained.
• If the tank, spherical heat exchanger and heat source
water do not contain sufficient antifreeze, they must be
drained in addition to domestic water.
If antifreeze is used in the heat source water, check the
concentration. Heat source water (including additives) must
be practically non-toxic, having a toxicity rating or class
of 1, as listed in the “Clinical Toxicology of Commercial
Products”. A maximum 50/50 mixture of inhibited propylene
glycol is recommended. Follow the antifreeze manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING
Do not use automotive, ethylene glycol or
petroleum-based antifreeze. Do not use
any undiluted antifreeze. This can cause
severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
To drain/flush the system
1. Turn OFF main electrical power to the tank, solar collectors
and any other heat source connected to the tank.
2. Turn OFF the main manual gas shutoff for any heat source
connected to the tank.
3. Turn OFF electrical power to the circulating pump (if used).
4. Close off the boiler or heat source inlet connection.
5. Ensure that the drain (located on the bottom of the tank)
is routed to a floor drain with adequate capacity to allow
the tank to be flushed.
6. Open the drain valve and allow the incoming cold water
“Boiler Return” to flush the soft sediment out of the bottom
of the storage tank.
CAUTION
7. Observe the color of the water initially discharged from
the tank drain. This water will generally be milky or
slightly discolored by the sediment discharge. Allow the
drain to run until the water runs clear.
8. Close the drain valve on the tank.
9. Open the hot water relief/air valve on the top of the
tank.
10. Turn ON main electrical power for the heat source, solar
collectors, tank and circulating pump.
11. Turn ON gas supply to the heat source(s).
12. Observe heat source and solar piping to ensure that all
components are functioning properly.
Hot water will be released under pressure.
Avoid contact with hot discharge water to
prevent the risk of severe scald injury.
Hot Water Can Scald!
• Water heated to temperatures for clothes washing, dish washing, and other sanitizing needs can
scald and cause permanent injury.
• Children, elderly, and infirm or physically handicapped persons are more likely to be
permanently injured by hot water. Never leave them unattended in a bathtub or shower.
Never allow small children to use a hot water tap or draw their own bath.
• If anyone using hot water in the building fits the above description, or if state laws or local
codes require certain water temperatures at hot water taps, you must take special
precautions:
• Use lowest possible temperature setting.
• Install some type of tempering device, such as an automatic mixing
valve, at hot water tap or water heater. Automatic mixing valve must be selected and
installed according to valve manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions.
• Water passing out of drain valves may be extremely hot. To avoid injury:
• Make sure all connections are tight.
• Direct water flow away from any person.
Protection Must Be Taken Against Excessive Temperature and Pressure!
--Installation of a Temperature & Pressure (T&P) relief valve is required.
