Needed

The Peerless Partner _ indirect-fired water heater provides a true

advancement in hot water generation. By utilizing the existing boiler
as its heat source, the burner fires only when necessary and

transfers heat energy through a highly efficient cupronickel, fin-tube
heat exchanger. The heater functions as a separate heating zone

and water movement is regulated from the boiler through the heater
coil by a separate circulator or zone valve.

The modem coil design of the Peerless Partner indirect-fired

water heater provides maximum heat transfer efficiency and resists
mineral buildup that discolors water. Old style coils can produce

discolored tapwater that affects taste and leaves blue bathtub rings.

The heater's cupronickel heat exchanger is highly resistant to any

scaling deposits and is positioned so entering water provides
scrubbing action, eliminating the need for chemical cleanings.

The domestic hot water is stored in a high-grade 316L stainless

steel tank. Two inch foam insulation keeps the water hot with a
standby loss of less than 1/2° F per hour. This allows the boiler to

stay off most of the day and night. The result is more hot water
with reduced boiler water temperatures and drastically reduced

standby losses.

The Peerless Partner indirect-fired water heater has two or more

times the recovery rate of gas-fired water heaters and supplies as
much as five times the amount of hot water as a comparably sized

electric water heater.

This heater is an ideal replacement for existing water heaters. It can

also be used for new applications. A vent or stack is not required. The
tank's light weight makes it very easy to position. The plastic jacketing is

maintenance free and does not scratch or rust.

The Peerless Partner indirect-fired water heater comes equipped
with an adjustable, well-type Honeywell control and a T&P relief
valve as standard equipment.

1. The following guidelines apply to residential systems only. For commercial or institutional installations contact
your local Peerless Heater Company representative.

2. Determine the quantity of domestic hot water required. Factors to consider:
a. Estimate typical peak hour demand. Determine the general time of day (morning, noon, evening) when the

most hot water is used. Use chart below to determine potential maximum usage.

Estimate of Peak Domestic Hot Water Usage

AverageGallons of Times Used During Gallons Used in

Use Hot Water perUsage One Hour One Hour
Shower 20 x -

Bath 20 x =
Shaving 2 x =

Hands and Face Washing 4 x =
Hair Shampoo 4 x =
Hand Dish Washing 4 x =
Automatic Dish Washing 14 x =
Food Preparation 5 x =
Wringer Clothes Washer 26 x =

Automatic Clothes Washer 32 x =

Total Peak Hour Demand =

b. Estimate unusual peak draw demand. Whirlpool baths, hot tubs, and multiple head showers require

large quantities of hot water in a short period of time. Contact fixture manufacturer for quantity of water
required. Generally speaking, these circumstances can only be met with larger storage volumes.

c. Domestic Water Temperature. Most residential usage will be satisfied with 119°F water, the temperature

setting recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Some applications such as laundry
and dishwashers may require a higher temperature.

Ratings can be improved by increasing Peerless ®Partner ®thermostat setting and using a mixing valve to

temper the hot water to the proper temperature. When temperatures greater than 119°F are required, use

a mixing valve at the outlet of the water heater or anti-scald fittings at point of use.

Water temperatures over 125°F can cause severe burns instantly, or
death from scalds.

Children, disabled, and elderly are at the highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before setting temperature at water heater.
Feel water before bathing or showering.
Temperature limiting valves are available, see manual.

The Peerless Partner indirect-fired water heater is deemed to be used in a "commercial setting" if at
any time the unit is operated at a temperature over 150°F. Refer to warranty for additional information.

d. Boiler. PP-80, PP-120, PP-80-DW, and PP-120-DW require full boiler output listed in Table 1. If boiler is a

Category IV condensing boiler, such as Peerless" Pinnacle', the above Peerless _'Partner _"models can be

used with reduced boiler output. If boiler output is less than shown in Table 1 reduce first hour rating as

shown in Table 2. Increase boiler size only if first hour rating does not meet estimated peak hour usage.

If a boiler with listed output is not needed for space heating, an alternative to a PP-80/120 would be

a PP-40 or PP-60 piped in series with an unfired storage tank (i.e. electric water heater without heating
elements energized).

Use a water boiler only. The Peerless Heater Company cannot recommend the use of steam boilers at this

time. Contact factory for additional information.

e. Domestic water priority. First hour ratings may be less than published when boiler output is shared with

space heating. Generally a consumer will notice a drop in domestic water temperature before a drop in
space heating temperature. Giving domestic water production priority by directing entire boiler output to

Peerless Partner will maximize domestic water output. However, prioritization controls could result in an

unacceptable drop in space heating temperature when large quantities of domestic hot water are used,
and a prioritization control malfunction could result in loss of space heating.

3. Multiple Water Heaters. Peak domestic water usage (first hour rating) or unusual peak draw may not be met
with a single water heater. Multiple units can be installed as either a bank of tanks acting as a single unit, or

as multiple individual units sized and located for specific draw situations.

d. Peerless Partner thermostat not calling for heat.

* Check wiring.
* Replace thermostat.

e. Hot water from boiler not getting to Peerless Partner.

* Air trapped in boiler piping, preventing water circulation. Purge piping.
* Check boiler for proper operation.

* Check wiring.

2. Inadequate Hot Water

a. Check operation of Peerless Partner:

i. Obtain container with known volume (in gallons) and stopwatch.
ii. Open hot water faucet until boiler starts recovery period. Close faucet.
iii. Allow boiler to operate until water heater fully recovers. Set thermostat disconnect switch to OFF

position.

iv. Open hot water faucet until water is hot. Begin filling container. Use stopwatch to measure time to fill

container.

Container Volume (gallons) seconds

Flow Rate (gpm) = x 60

Time to Fill Container (seconds) minute

v. Water temperature will remain constant within ±5°F until storage is exhausted. Continue to fill container

until temperature drops 10°E

vi. Compare total volume of water collected to Usable Hot Water in Table 1. If within 5 gallons the Peerless

Partner is operating properly. Check PRODUCT SELECTION for proper model usage.

vii. Compare calculated flow rate with first draw usage available per Table 3. If actual flow rate is greater

than first draw usage available, consider use of flow restricting fixtures or mixing valve.

b. Inadequate boiler water flow. Check circulator sizing per PIPING.
c. Boiler is undersized.

3. Slow Recovery.
See 2(b)(c) above. Approximate cold start recovery period (* use Minimum Boiler Output from Table 1 or

Boiler Rated Output, whichever is smaller):

4. WaterTemperatureToe Hot
a. Peerless Partner thermostat set too high. Adjust to lower setting.

b. System piping and/or controls.

* Peerless Partner thermostat continues to call for heat after reaching setpoint. Replace thermostat.
* Check system pipingand flow control valve.Verify space heating call for heat does not cause flow through Peerless

Partner heat exchanger.

C. Mixing Valve (if used). Verify proper operation per manufacturer's instructions.

5. Leaking Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
a. Water expands when heated.

* Install thermal expansion tank on cold water inlet.

* Reduce Peerless Partner thermostat setting.
b. Water temperature too high. See Paragraph 4 above.
c. Water pressure is too high. Instafl pressure reducing valve on cold water inlet.
d. Valve seat has deteriorated or has sediment build-up. Replace temperature and pressure refief valve.
