General Safety Precautions

Be sure to read and understand the entire Instruction Manual before attempting to install or operate this water heater. Pay particular attention to the following general Safety Precautions. Failure to follow these warnings could result in a fire or explosion, causing property damage, bodily injury or death. Should you have any problems understanding the instructions in this manual, STOP, and get help from a qualified installer or service technician or the gas supplier.

WARNING

Gasoline, as well as other flammable materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents, etc.), and the vapors they produce, are extremely dangerous. DO NOT handle, use or store gasoline or other flammable or combustible materials anywhere near or in the vicinity of a water heater. Be sure to read and follow the warning label pictured below and other labels on the water heater, as well as the warnings printed in this manual. Failure to do so can result in property damage, bodily injury, or death.

DANGER

Failure to install the draft hood and properly vent the water heater to the outdoors as outlined in the Venting Section of this manual can result in unsafe operation of the water heater. To avoid the risk of fire, explosion, or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide, never operate this water heater unless it is properly vented and has an adequate air supply for proper operation. Be sure to inspect the vent system for proper installation at initial start-up; and at least annually thereafter. Refer to Maintenance section of this manual for more information regarding vent system inspections.

DANGER

LIQUEFIED PETROLEUM MODELS – Propane, or LP gas, must be used with great caution.

• It is heavier than air and will collect first in lower areas making it hard to detect at nose level.

• Make sure to look and smell for LP leaks before attempting to light appliance. Use a soapy solution to check all gas fittings and connections. Bubbling at a connection indicates a leak that must be corrected. When smelling to detect an LP leak, be sure to sniff near the floor too.

• Gas detectors are recommended in LP applications and their installation should be in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.

• It is recommended that more than one method be used to detect leaks in LP applications.

IF LP GAS IS PRESENT OR SUSPECTED:

• DO NOT attempt to find the cause yourself;

• DO NOT try to light any appliance;

• DO NOT touch any electrical switch;

• DO NOT use any phone in your building.

• Leave the building immediately and make sure that everyone else leaves also.

• Leave the doors open for ventilation and contact the gas supplier, a qualified service agency or the fire department.

• Keep the area clear until the service call has been made, the leak is corrected, and a qualified agency has determined the area to be safe.

Vapors from flammable liquids will explode and catch fire causing death or severe

burns.

Do not use or store flammable products such as gasoline solvents or adhesives in the same room or area near the water heater. Keeflammable products:

1. far away from heater,

2. in approved containers,

3. tightly closed and

4. out of childrens reach.

Installation: Do not install water heater where flammable products will be stored or used unless the main burner and pilot flames

Read and follow water heater warnings and instructions. If owners manual is missing, contact the retailer or manufacturer.

Water heater has a main burner and pilot flame. The pilot flame:

1. is on all the timeand

2. will ignite flammable vapors. Vapors:

1. cannot be seen,

2. are heavier than air,

3. go a long way on the floor,

4. can be carried from other room to the pilot flame by their currents.

are at least 18" above the floor. This will reduce, but not eliminate, the risk of vapors being ignited by the main burner or pilot flame.

WARNING

Both LP and natural gas have an odorant added to help detection. Some people may not physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If unsure or unfamiliar about the smell associated with LP or natural gas, ask the gas supplier. Other conditions, such as "Odorant Fade", which causes the odorant to "fade", or diminish in intensity can also hide or camouflage a gas leak.

DANGER

Water heaters utilizing Liquefied Petroleum gas (LP) are different from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will not function safely on LP gas and vice versa. Conversion from Natural gas to LP gas (or vice versa) must be done by a qualified service technician. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury or fire: DO NOT connect this water heater to a fuel type not in accordance with unit data plate. Propane for propane units. Natural gas for natural gas units. These units are not certified for any other type fuel.

WARNING

LP appliances should not be installed below-grade (for example, in a basement) if such installation is prohibited by federal, state and/or local laws, rules, regulations or customs.

General Safety Precautions

To meet commercial hot water requirements, the tankstat is adjustable up to 190°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F. can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds. This is the preferred starting point for setting the control for supplying general purpose hot water.

Safety and energy conservation are factors to be considered when setting the water temperature on the tankstat. The most energy efficient operation will result when the temperature setting is the lowest that satisfies the needs consistent with the application.

The following chart details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

Temperature Time to Produce Serious Burn

120°F. More than 5 minutes 125°F. 1-1/2 to 2 minutes 130°F. About 30 seconds 135°F. About 10 Seconds 140°F. Less than 5 seconds 145°F. Less than 3 seconds 150°F. About 1-1/2 seconds 155°F. About 1 second

Table courtesy of Shiners Burn Institute

TIME/TEMPERATURE RELATIONSHIPS IN SCALDS

The temperature of the water in the storage tank boiler can be regulated by setting the temperature dial on front of the tankstat. To comply with safety regulations, the tankstat was set at its lowest setting before shipment from the factory. The illustration below illustrates the tankstat and how to adjust the water temperature.

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

Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.

See instruction manual before setting temperature at tankstat.

Feel water before bathing or showering.

Temperature limiting valves are available, see manual.

Maximum water temperatures occur just after burner has shut off. To find hot water temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water stream and read the thermometer.

To adjust the water temperature, insert a small straight screwdriver into slotted screw in hole in front of tankstat and turn wheel to desired setting. Thermostat is adjustable up to 190°F.

CAUTION!! - Hotter water increases the risk of SCALDING!

There is a Hot Water SCALD Potential if the tankstat is set too high.

NOTE: When this water is supplying general purpose hot water requirements for use by individuals, a thermostatically controlled mixing valve for reducing point of use water temperature is recommended to reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority for further information.

3. INSTALLATION PROCEDURES

CODE REQUIREMENTS

Installation must be in accordance with local codes, or, in the absence of local codes, with the latest editions

of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1,/NFPA 54, and the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. In Canada installations must conform with the current CAN/CSA B149.1 and the Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 CSA C22.2 No.1. Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Heaters, CSD-

MOUNTING BASE

The heater should be mounted on a level, noncombustible surface. Heater must not be installed on carpeting.

The heater can be installed on a combustible surface only when the appropriate listed floor shield base is provided. An optional listed floor shield base is available for factory installation with the heater on all indoor models.

NOTE: The heater should be located in an area where water leakage will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it is recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the appliance. The pan must not restrict air flow.

In addition, the heater shall be installed such that the gas ignition system components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance operation and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).

CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL MODELS

1. Minimum clearances from combustible surfaces.

Floor Front Back Right Left Top Top Flue

(Indoor) (Outdoor) Vent (1) (2) 12" 12" 12" 39" Unobstructed 6" Comb. Alcove

(1 ) Except for carpeted flooring, heaters are certified for installation on combustible floors, when equipped

with listed floor shield base.

(2 ) A front clearance of at least 24" is recommended for adequate service of burner-tray and controls.

COMBUSTION/VENTILATION AIR (Indoor models only)

WARNING: Air supply to the heater room must not be affected by mechanical exhaust vents located in other parts

of the house, such as kitchen or bathroom fans, or attic blowers. Mechanical exhaust vents may create a negative pressure condition in the heater room that can become a hazard of asphyxiation, explosion or fire.

CAUTION: Combustion air must not be contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which can damage the heater. Measures must be taken to prevent the entry of corrosive chemical fumes to the combustion and ventilation air supply. Such chemicals include, but are not limited to, chlorinated and/or fluorinated hydrocarbons such as found in refrigerants, aerosol propellants, dry-cleaning fluids, degreasers, and paint removers. Other harmful elements may come from bleaches, air fresheners, or mastics. Vapors from these types of products can form corrosive acid compounds when burned in a gas flame. The resulting acid condensate can damage or substantially reduce the life of the heater. It may be necessary to provide outside air directly to the heater in order to avoid this problem.

Page 7

1) The heater must be provided with adequate supply of air for proper combustion and ventilation in accordance with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1, or applicable provi sions of the local building codes.

2) When the heater is installed in a confined space where all air is supplied from inside the building, the heater room must be provided with two openings, each one having a minimum net free area, in square inches as follows:

Model Sq. In. Of Free Area 260 264 330 333 400 399

OUTDOOR MODELS

If installation requires horizontal runs, the vent pipe must have a minimum of 1/4 inch per foot rise and should be supported at not more than five foot intervals.Plumbers tape, crisscrossed, will serve to space both horizontal and vertical piping. Maximum vent connector horizontal length shall be 1-1/2 feet (18 inches) for each inch of connector diameter as follows:

Heater Size Vent Connector Max Horizontal

Diameter Length - FT 260/261 8" 12.0 330/331 9" 13.5 400/401 10" 15.0

Gas vents supported only by the flashing and extending above the roof more than five feet should be securely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind loads. We recommend use of insulated vent pipe spacer through the roofs and walls.

For protection against rain or blockage by snow, the vent pipe must terminate with a listed vent cap which complies with the local codes or, in the absence of such codes, to the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

The discharge opening must be a minimum of two feet vertically from the roof surface and at least two(2) feet higher than any part of the building within ten (10) feet. Vent stack shall be at least five (5) feet in vertical height above the drafthood outlet. The vent cap location shall have a minimum clearance of four (4) feet horizontally from, and in no case above or below, unless a 4-foot horizontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas meters regulators and relief equipment.

The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest on boiler draft hood. Support must be provided in compliance with applicable codes. The heater top and draft hood must be readily removable for maintenance and inspection. Vent pipe should be adequately supported to maintain proper clearances from combustible construction.

Type "B" double wall or equivalent vent pipe is recommended. However single wall metal vent pipe may be used as specified in the latest edition of the National Flue Gas Code ANSI Z223.1.

WARNING: Indoor heater require a drafthood that must be connected to a vent pipe and properly vented to the outside. Failure to follow this procedure can cause fire or fatal carbon monoxide poisoning.

Vent piping the same size or larger than the draft hood outlet is recommended, however, when the total vent height is at least ten (10) feet (draft hood relief opening to vent terminal), the vent pipe size may be reduced as specified in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z 223.1. As much as possible avoid long horizontal runs of vent pipe and too many elbows.

4. SERVICING PROCEDURES

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION

INTERMITTENT IGNITION DEVICE (IID) Heaters equipped with the IID system will automatically light the pilot burner first and then the main burner, each time there is a call for heat from the tankstat. Whenever the tankstat calling for heat, the circulator supplied with the heater, will be energized and should be running. The ignition control module will also be energized to initiate the pilot ignition by opening the first main valve (pilot). At the same time, the electronic spark generator in the module produces a high voltage spark pulse output that lights the pilot burner. If the pilot burner does not light, the module will not energize the second main valve and the burners will not light. Ignition spark continues only until the timed trial for ignition period ends. Then, the module goes into safety shutdown or lockout. Lockout de-energizes the first main valve operator and closes the first main (pilot) valve in the gas control, stopping pilot gas flow. The ignition control system must be reset by setting the tankstat below water temperature for one minute or by turning off power to the module for one minute. When the pilot flame is established, flame rectification circuit is completed between the sensor and burner ground. The flame sensing circuit in the module detects the flame current, shuts off the spark generator and energizes the second main valve operator which opens the second main valve. This allows gas to flow to the burners where it is ignited by the pilot burner flame. When the tankstat is satisfied, the valve operators are de-energized shutting off the pilot and main burners, and also the circulator.

CONTROL WELL REPLACEMENT

Remove top, sensing bulb and clip. Collapse well tube at the open end with a chisel, push through into header and remove the well through header. Insert a new well and roll into place. If a roller is not available, solder the well in place with silver solder.

PROCEDURE FOR CLEANING FLUE GAS PASSAGE-WAYS

Soot will clog areas behind fins and cause eventual tube failure. Any sign of soot at base of burners or around outer jacket indicates a need for cleaning.

TUBE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURE

1. Remove heat exchanger from heater following instructions outlined under HEAT EXCHANGER REMOVAL.

2. Remove inlet/outlet and return headers. Remove "V" Baffle from damaged tube.

3. Remove damaged tube by cutting with a hack saw or shearing with a chisel adjacent to each tube sheet.

4. Collapse stub ends in tube sheets using a chisel or screwdriver. DO NOT cut into tube sheet or mar surface in tube hole in any way.

5. Insert replacement tube by inserting the end with the most fins removed in the opening of one tube sheet. Slide tube until the opposite end clears the other tube sheet and fits the tube into the hole.

6. Insert the tube roller into tube opening up to stop, making certain that 1/8" of tube projects beyond the tube sheet.

7. Attach drill to tube roller, holding it straight and level.

NOTE: Use a 3/8" heavy duty, reversible, electric drill or

larger. Proceed to expand tube until tool starts to grab. Approximately 1/2 to 1" of the tool shank will be visible.

8. Reverse drill motor and withdraw tube roller, if necessary wrench out by hand.

9. DO NOT apply excessive torque during rolling operation and avoid thinning any wall of the tube beyond 0.015".

10. Use same procedure on opposite end.

11. Apply line pressure test. Re-roll if necessary.

12. Reinstall as outlined under HEAT EXCHANGER REASSEMBLY.

1. Lift off draft hood and flue collector by removing bolts and screws.

2. Remove "V" baffles from heat exchanger.

3. Remove burner tray, see Burner Drawer Removal.

4. Take garden hose and wash heat exchanger, making sure soot is removed form between fins. (Avoid excessive water against refractory).

5. Reassemble; when heater is fired, some steam will form from wet refractory. This is normal.

NOTE: In extreme cases it may be necessary to remove the heat exchanger completely for cleaning. The simplest method is steam cleaning at a local car wash.

CAUTION: Soot is combustible. Exercise extreme care. Do not wire brush.
