FOREWORD
These designs comply with ANSI Z21.10.3/CSA 4.3 M98 as an automatic circulating or automatic storage tank type water heater.
Heaters having an input of 305,000 (89 kWh), 365,000 (107 kWh), 399,000 (117 kWh) and 500,000 (147 kWh) Btuh with a recovery rating of 277.3 gph (1049 Lph) or more also comply with ANSI Z21.10.3 as an automatic instantaneous type heater.
Detailed installation diagrams are found in this manual. These diagrams will serve to provide the installer with a reference for the materials and methods of piping necessary. It is highly essential that all water, gas piping and wiring be installed as shown on the diagrams.
Particular attention should be given to the installation of thermometers at the locations indicated on the diagrams as these are necessary for checking the proper functioning of the heater.
The heater is designed to operate on natural or propane gases. HOWEVER, MAKE SURE the gas on which the heater will operate is the same as that specified on the heater model and rating plate.
These heaters may be installed on combustible floors. Refer to LOCATING THE HEATER and INSTALLATION ON COMBUSTIBLE FLOORING sections for details.
In addition to these instructions, the equipment shall be installed in accordance with those installation regulations in force in the local area where the installation is to be made. These shall be carefully followed in all cases. Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted before installations are made.
The installation must conform to these instructions and the local code authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of local codes, the installation must comply with the latest editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and the National Electrical Code, NFPA 70, CAN/CSA B149.1-00, and CSA 2 C22.1.

2. DAMAGE.
3. FIRING WITHOUT WATER.
4. SOOTING
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 qualified 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.
LIQUID PETROLEUM MODELS
Water heaters for propane or liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) are different from natural gas models. A natural gas heater will not function safely on LP gas and no attempt should be made to convert a heater from natural gas to LP gas.
LP gas must be used with great caution. It is highly explosive and heavier than air. It collects first in the low areas making its odor difficult to detect at nose level. If LP gas is present or even suspected, do not attempt to find the cause yourself. Go to a neighbor's house, leaving your doors open to ventilate the house, then call your gas supplier or service agent. Keep area clear until a service call has been made.
At times you may not be able to smell an LP gas leak. One cause is odor fade, which is a loss of the chemical odorant that gives LP gas its distinctive smell. Another cause can be your

person to relight pilots for you. Only trained LP professionals should conduct the required safety checks in accordance with industry standards.
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 flow. 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 State water heater. The purpose of an insulation blanket is to reduce the standby heat loss encountered with storage tank water heaters. Your State water heater meets or exceeds the ASHRAE/IES 90.1b-1999 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 fire, 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 gas valve or 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 not allow insulation to come within 2” (5cm) of the burners, to prevent blockage of combustion air flow to the burners.
• Do not allow insulation to come within 9” (23cm) of floor, (within 2” (5cm) of bottom cover) to prevent blockage of combustion air flow to the burners.
• Do inspect the insulation blanket frequently to make sure it does not sag, thereby obstructing combustion air flow.
• Do obtain new labels from State for placement on the blanket directly over the existing labels.
HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
WARNING
INSTALLATIONS ABOVE 2000 FEET (610 METERS) REQUIRE REPLACEMENT OF THE BURNER ORIFICES IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 8.1.2 OF THE NATIONAL FUEL GAS CODE (ANSI Z223.1). FOR CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS CONSULT CANADIAN INSTALLATIONS CODES AND CAN/CSA B149.1-00. FAILURE TO REPLACE THE ORIFICES 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 specific changes which may be required in your area.
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 overfiring of the heater causing sooting, poor combustion and/or unsatisfactory heater performance.
on the pipe nipple portion of the hydro cannon, 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 hydro cannon to reduce the probability of misaligning the hydro cannon accidentally while tightening the connection to the inlet water supply line. Improper orientation of the hydro-canon can cause poor performance of the heater and can significantly reduce outlet water temperatures during heavy draws.
U.S. REQUIREMENTS
Ratings specified by manufacturers for most appliances apply for elevations up to 2000 feet (610m). For elevations above 2000 feet (610), ratings must be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1000 feet (305m) above sea level. For example, if a heater is rated at 120,000 Btuh (35 kWh) at sea level, to rate the heater at 4000 feet (1219m), you subtract 4 (once for each thousand feet) x .04 (4% input reduction) x 120,000 (original rating) from the original rating. Therefore, to calculate the input rating at 4,000 feet (121.9m): 4 x .04 x 120,000 =19,200 Btuh (5.6 kWh), 120,000 (35 kWh) - 19,200 (5.6 kWh) = 100,800 Btuh (29.4 kWh). At 6000 feet (1829m) the correct input rating should be 91,200 Btuh (26.7 kWh).
CANADIAN REQUIREMENTS
Appliances with inputs up to and including 400,000 BTU (117.2 kW) must be factory equipped with orifices for operation at specific elevations. Standard (sea level) orifices permit operation up to 2000' (610m) elevation. For operation between 2000' (610m) and 4500' (1370m) specify "HIGH ALTITUDE OPERATION" when ordering the heater(s). For operation above 4500' (2370m) consult factory before ordering.
Field conversion for operation at altitudes other than that specified on the heater rating plate is not permitted.
The input reduction is primarily achieved by reducing the size of the main burner orifices. To do this, the main burner orifices require replacement with orifices sized for the particular installation elevation. Correct orifice sizing and parts may be obtained from State Water Heaters. 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.
NOTE: The inlet tube may have 1, 3 or 7 cross-tubes.
FIGURE 2
For proper function, the hydro cannon 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 orientation. Please check to confirm that the marked range is in alignment with the top of the spud. A pipe union is supplied with the hydro cannon to help eliminate the possibility of changing the orientation by accidentally over­tightening the inlet supply line. Improper orientation of the hydro cannon may cause temperature build-up issues or spells of colder than usual water temperatures.
HIGH LIMIT SWITCH (E.C.O.)
The dual bulb controller (fig. 3) contains the high limit (energy cutoff) sensor. The high limit switch interrupts main burner gas flow should the water temperature reach 205°F (96°C).
In the event of high limit switch operation, the appliance cannot be restarted unless the water temperature is reduced by at least 20°F (11°C) and the high limit reset button on front of limit control (fig. 3) is 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 servicer if continued high limit switch operation occurs.
Also due to the input rating reduction required at high altitudes, the output rating of the appliance is reduced and should be compensated for in the sizing of the equipment for application.
FEATURES
SELF-CLEANING HYDRO CANNON
These units include a self-cleaning hydro cannon installed in the front water inlet. See figure 2. The hydro cannon must be oriented correctly for proper function. There is a marked range

Continued pilot outage preceded by higher than usual water temperature is evidence of high limit switch operation. Contact your dealer or servicer to determine the reason for operation.
ELECTRONIC IGNITION CONTROL
Each heater is equipped with a Honeywell ignition module. The solid state ignition control, fig. 4, ignites the pilot burner gas by creating a spark at the pilot assembly. Pilot gas is ignited and burns during each running cycle. The main burner and pilot gases are cut off during the OFF cycle. Pilot gas ignition is proven by the pilot sensor. Main burner ignition will not occur if the pilot sensor does not first sense pilot ignition.

FIGURE 4
AUTOMATIC FLUE DAMPER DEVICE
All units are equipped with an automatic flue damper that reduces heat loss during the OFF cycles. The automatic flue damper drive assembly is a field replaceable part and may be obtained by contacting State Water Heaters.
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 in this manual for electrical hookup information and install in accordance with the latest version of the Canada refer to Canadian Code CSA C22.1.
Only all bronze circulators should be 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.
National Electric Code ANSI/NFPA No. 70. For
DISHWASHING MACHINE REQUIREMENT
These appliances meet the National Sanitation Foundation Standard for sanitary installations when used with the following leg kits, Part No’s. 6570-0 and 6570-7.
All dishwashing machines meeting the National Sanitation Foundation requirements are designed to operate with water flow pressures between 15 and 25 psi (103 Kpa and 173 Kpa). Flow pressures above 25 psi (173 Kpa), or below 15 psi (103 Kpa), will result in improperly sanitized dishes. Where pressures are high, a water pressure reducing or flow 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.
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 flow by means of the plug cock in the circulating line.
Each automatic flue damper drive assembly is equipped with a “Service Switch”, as shown in figure 5.
FIGURE 5
The “Service Switch” has 2 positions: AUTOMATIC OPERATION and HOLD OPEN DAMPER. For normal operation the switch should be in the AUTOMATIC OPERATION position.
If there is a problem with the damper the “Service Switch” can be placed in the HOLD OPEN DAMPER position. When the switch is placed in the HOLD OPEN DAMPER position the damper disc will rotate to the open position and the heater may be used until vent assembly is repaired or replaced. DO NOT turn the damper disc manually; damage will occur to the drive assembly if operated manually. Refer to TESTING DAMPER OPERATION section of this manual for additional information.
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 flue damper already installed. The wiring conduit runs from the thermostat to the damper drive cover. Before turning unit on, check to make sure the wiring conduit is securely plugged into damper drive.
LOCATING 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.

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” (.50m) 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 (7.6cm) in any direction. If the heater is installed in a carpeted alcove, the entire floor shall be covered by the panel. Also, see the DRAIN REQUIREMENTS.
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.
THE HEATER MUST NOT BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE IT WILL BE SUBJECT TO FREEZING.

WARNING
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, 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, sufficient 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
If the confined space is within a building of tight construction, air for combustion, ventilation, and draft hood dilution 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 (8,900mm 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 (4,450mm2/kW) of the total input of all appliances in the enclosure. For Canadian installations consult CAN/CSA B149.1-00.

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. See table 3 TECHNICAL DATA VENTING.
This water heater must be vented in compliance with all local codes, the current revision of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI­Z223.1) and with the Category I Venting Tables.
In Canada, venting shall conform to the requirements of the current CAN/CGA B149.1-00 installation code.
If any parts of the vent system are exposed to ambient temperatures below 35 degrees F (2 degrees C) they must be insulated to prevent condensation.
• 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 fired equipment to the duct work of ventilation systems.
• 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.
CORRECT METHOD OF VENT PIPE INSTALLATION
PROVIDE MAXIMUM VERTICAL RISE OF VENT PIPE DIRECTLY ABOVE HEATER DRAFT HOOD BEFORE TURNING INTO HORIZONTAL RUN.
INCORRECT INSTALLATION WITH NO UPWARD ANGLE
FIGURE 8
MULTIPLE HEATER MANIFOLD
Figure 9 and table 3 should be used for horizontally manifolding two or more heaters. Also see MULTIPLE-UNIT INSTALLATIONS of MECHANICAL VENTING section for induced draft applications.
This manual provides detailed installation diagrams (see pages 16-22 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 flow 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 16 through 22 in this manual for suggested piping arrangements.
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.
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.
FIGURE 9
THERMOMETERS (Not Supplied)
Thermometers should be obtained and field 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 temperature­pressure relief valve that complies with the standard for relief valves and automatic gas shutoff devices for hot water supply system, ANSI Z21.22, for Canada see CAN/CSA 149.1-00. FOR
SAFE OPERATION OF THE WATER HEATER, THE RELIEF VALVE(S) MUST NOT BE REMOVED OR PLUGGED.

ASME ratings cover pressure relief capacities. A.G.A. 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 specific 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 OR 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 4. The figures 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. For Canadian installations consult Canadian Installation Code CAN/CSA B149.1-00.
THE HEATER IS NOT INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT HIGHER
WARNING
THAN 14.0" W.C.(3.48 Kpa) (1/2 POUND PER SQUARE INCH GAGE- 3.45 Kpa) SUPPLY GAS PRESSURE. 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. 10). 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. For Canadian installations consult Canadian Installation Code CAN/CSA B149.1-00.
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 first two threads. Use compounds resistant to the action of liquefied petroleum gases.

OPERATION
IMPORTANT
PURGING
Gas line purging is required with new piping or systems in which air has entered.
A qualified person must perform the initial firing of the heater. At this time the user should not hesitate to ask the individual any questions which they may have in regard to the operation and maintenance of the unit.
An Operational Checklist is included at the rear of this manual. By using this checklist the user may be able to make minor operational adjustments and avoid unnecessary service calls. However, the user should not attempt repairs which are not listed under the USER column.
GENERAL
NEVER OPERATE THE HEATER WITHOUT FIRST BEING CERTAIN IT IS FILLED WITH WATER AND A TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE IS INSTALLED IN THE RELIEF VALVE OPENING OF THE HEATER.
SHOULD OVERHEATING OCCUR OR THE GAS SUPPLY FAIL TO SHUT OFF, TURN OFF THE MANUAL GAS CONTROL VALVE TO THE APPLIANCE.
CAUTION
Before proceeding with the operation of the unit make sure the water heater and system are filled with water and all air is expelled.
FILLING
1. Close the heater drain valve by turning handle clockwise.
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.
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 are to have been leak tested and open to the respective gas and water supplies.
With above conditions satisfied, light 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:
IF PILOT FLAME GOES OUT - Main burners will extinguish and
pilot will attempt reignition.
DAMPER MUST BE IN FULL OPEN POSITION FOR PILOT AND/ OR MAIN BURNER IGNITION TO OCCUR - See SEQUENCE OF OPERATION for complete description.
2. Open a nearby hot water faucet to permit the air in the system to escape.
3. Fully open the cold water inlet pipe valve allowing the heater and piping to be filled.
4. Close the hot water faucet as water starts to flow.
5. The heater is ready to be operated.
Each heater is equipped with a Honeywell Ignition Module. This module will try to prove pilot for 90 seconds. If pilot is not proven within the 90 secs, the unit will retry after 5 minutes. This cycle will continue until pilot is proven.
If pilot does not ignite when system calls for heat, check for pilot ignition spark at pilot assembly. Refer to OPERATIONAL
CHECKLIST and EFFIKAL RVGP-KSF SERIES FLUE DAMPER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE.

2. PROCEDURE UNDER “PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE”.
WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
WARNING
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 HANDICAPPED PERSONS INCREASES THE HAZARDS TO THEM. NEVER ALLOW SMALL CHILDREN TO USE A HOT WATER TAP, OR DRAW THEIR OWN BATH WATER. NEVER LEAVE A CHILD OR DISABLED PERSON UNATTENDED IN A BATHTUB OR SHOWER.
THE WATER HEATER SHOULD BE LOCATED IN AN AREA WHERE THE GENERAL PUBLIC DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO SET TEMPERATURES.
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. licensed plumber or the local plumbing authority.
The water temperature is controlled by a thermostat, Fig. 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, Fig. 3, is accessible by removing the control cover. The dial is adjustable and may be set for 120°F (49°C) to 180°F (82°C) water temperature, but 120°F (49°C) 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 efficient operation. The temperature control has a 4°F fixed differential.

TESTING DAMPER OPERATION
With the Service Switch in the AUTOMATIC OPERATION position, check the operation of the flue damper three (3) times with the water operating controls for proper operating sequence:
• The damper disc must be open (in the vertical position) before the ignition and combustion process begins.
• The damper disc must be in the open position when the main burner is firing.
• The gas valve must close and the main burner must have ceased firing before the damper disc begins its return to the closed (horizontal) position.
If during testing of the operation of the damper you find that there is a problem with the operation of the water heater when the Service Switch is in the AUTOMATIC OPERATION position: Reset the Service Switch to the HOLD OPEN DAMPER position and check operation again.
SETTING THE WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE AT 120°F WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDS. Some states or provinces
require settings at specific lower temperatures.
Below you will find listed the approximate time-of-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.
Temperature Time to Produce 2nd & 3rd
Settings Degree Burns on Adult Skin
180°F (82°C) Nearly Instantaneous
170°F (77°C) Nearly Instantaneous
160°F (71°C) About 1/2 Second
150°F (65°C) About 1 - 1/2 Seconds
140°F (60°C) Less than 5 Seconds
130°F (54°C) Abouit 30 Seconds
120°F (49°C) More than 5 Minutes
If the water heater does operate when placed in the HOLD OPEN DAMPER position:
• Refer to the EFFIKAL RVGP-FSF-SERIES TROUBLE­SHOOTING GUIDE at the end of this manual.
CAUTION
Do not force the damper disc manually or motor damage will occur.
If the water heater does not operate with the Service Switch in either position:
• Refer to the Troubleshooting Sections and Operational Checklist sections.
CHECKING VENTING
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.
27
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 or the CAN/CGA B149 Installation codes and these instructions. Determine that there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies 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 fireplace dampers.
4. Follow the lighting instruction. Place the water heater being inspected in operation. Adjust thermostat so appliance shall operate continuously.
5. Test for draft hood spillage at the relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation.
• The pilot flame should envelop sensing device with 5/8" (1.6cm) flame, fig. 15. Remove pilot adjustment cover screw, fig. 16. Turn inner adjustment screw clockwise to decrease, or counterclockwise to increase pilot flame. Be sure to replace cover screw on gas valve after adjustment to prevent possible gas leakage.
2. Clogged pilot burner orifice.
• Clean or replace orifice. A clogged orifice will restrict gas flow.
3. Incorrect orifice.
• Replace. See Table 7, for correct orifice for type of gas used. Orifice size is stamped on the wrench flats.
MAIN BURNER ASSEMBLY
PILOT BURNER ASSEMBLY
6. 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, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
7. 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 flue gas exhauster must be employed to assure proper venting and correct combustion.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
CHECK THE PILOT
At least once a year, check the pilot burner, fig. 15, and the main burner, fig. 16, for proper operation. Refer to the following pilot and main burner sections.
FIGURE 14
Pilot sensing device must sense a flame before sparking will stop. Loose wires or a draft may cause intermittent or abnormal sparking. To eliminate this condition, first correct loose wiring condition, and then, if necessary, increase pilot flame.
PILOT BURNER ASSEMBLY
PILOT BURNER
For access to pilot, unfasten two screws to burner cover and remove. Locate the burner with pilot and remove screw holding burner to manifold. Unfasten pilot tubing from valve and slide out burner and pilot.
Servicing of the pilot burner includes keeping pilot free of lint, cleaning the burner head, the primary air opening and the orifice of the pilot burner.
Pilot burner flame is affected by:
1. Low gas pressure.
• Adjust pilot flame by means of the pilot gas adjustment located on the gas valve. See fig. 17.

MAIN BURNER
The main burner, fig. 15, should display the following characteristics:
• Cause rapid ignition and carry over of flame across entire burner.
• Give reasonably quiet operation during ignition, burning and extinction.
• Cause no excessive lifting of flame from burner ports.

TYPICAL PILOT AND MAIN BURNER FLAMES
FIGURE 16
If the gas valve becomes defective, repairs should not be attempted. A new valve should be installed in place of the defective one.
CHECKING THE INPUT
For appliance installation locations with elevations above 2000 feet (610 m), refer to HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS section of this manual for input reduction procedure.
If the preceding burner characteristics are not evident, check for accumulation of lint or other foreign material that restricts or blocks the air openings to the burner or heater.
NOTE: Cleaning of main burners.
1. Remove main burners from unit.
2. Check that burner venturi and ports are free of foreign matter.
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 flow of combustion and ventilating air to the unit. Maintain a clear area around the heater at all times.
GAS VALVES
Figure 16 shows the two types of combination gas control valves used on these heaters.
1. Attach a pressure gauge or a manometer to the gauge port and refer to Table 5, 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: (Using SBD-240 heater) T = 15.8 seconds
H = 1050 Btu
Btuh = ?
36.8 X 1050 = 240,000 Btuh (70.3 kWh) (Compare with
15.9 heater model and rating)
Should it be necessary to adjust the gas pressure to the burners to obtain the full input rate, the steps below should be followed:
FIGURE 16
3. Remove the regulator adjustment sealing cap, fig. 17, 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 specified 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 6.
29
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.
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" (22mm) in diameter with a 1/8" (3mm) diameter steel core wire running down the center of the anode material. THE ANODES SHOULD BE REPLACED when the 1/8" (3mm) 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, part no. 74060. 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 flue products when properly installed.
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.
If the appliance installation includes other relief valves, such as in “remote” storage tanks etc., check their relief valve operation with the same frequency.
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 system, or to a faulty relief valve. Contact your dealer or a qualified service technician to find 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 TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF 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, flush thoroughly, and refill. If the problem persists, chlorination of the heater and replacement of
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.
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 the equipment but also reduces efficiency 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.
Refer to State booklet, Form No. 4800, entitled “Why? When and How” for detailed description on tank inspection and cleanout.
30
UN•LIME® and the booklet may be obtained through your State dealer or distributor.
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 State part no. 99038.
6. Install cleanout plate. Be sure to draw plate up tight by tightening screws securely.
7. Replace outer jacket cover plate.
FIGURE 18
DELIMING SOLVENTS
State recommends the use of UN•LIME for deliming. UN•LIME is a patented food grade acid which is safe to handle and does not create the harmful fumes which are associated with other products.
UN•LIME may be obtained from your dealer, distributor or State Water Heaters. Order part no. 4763 (1 gal), packed 4 gallons per case or part no. 4813 (5 gallon container).
Hydrochloric base acids are not recommended for use on glass­lined tanks.
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 efficiency:
1. Once a month the heater should be flushed. Open the 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:
FIGURE 18
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. To dissolve and remove these more stubborn mineral deposits, State UN•LIME Professional Delimer should be used.
DELIMING USING FLO-JUG METHOD
UN•LIME in the 5 gallon size is recommended for deliming of the SBD 120-500 models. UN•LIME with the necessary hoses and fittings to delime your heater is also available as a kit: Up-N-Down Transfer Kit. Contact your local State dealer or distributor:
Telephone: (800) 433-2545 Fax: (800) 433-2515 Website: www.hotwater.com
Prepare the Water Heater To delime the water heater using the Flo-Jug method, first prepare the heater for deliming as described in the "Why? When? and How?" booklet, Form No. 4800. Then install the long plastic male adapter fitting into the drain valve opening of the water heater. Use teflon tape and hand tighten only. Do not overtighten.
1. Drain heater.
2. Remove outer cover plate from lower side of heater jacket.
Prepare the Up-N-Down Transfer Kit The next step is the preparation on the Up-N-Down Transfer Kit, if you have not already done so:
31
1. With the 5 gallon Up-N-Down container in the vertical position, unscrew the plastic vent cap in the handle and pierce the plastic membrane over the vent boss under the cap to allow the container to vent.
Note: If your container does not have the vent cap and vent boss, drill a 3/16" hole in the handle. When you have finished deliming you will be able to plug this drilled vent with the stainless steel screw that is supplied with the kit.
2. Remove the container's cap and cut the plastic membrane located in the 3/4" IPT opening in the cap. Take care to not damage the threads.
3. Find the 3/4" male adapter, apply teflon tape to the threaded end and screw it into the 3/4" IPT opening in the cap.
4. Put cap with male adapter back on the container and slide 3/4" hose over end of male adapter and fasten in place using hose clamp provided.
Delime using Flo-Jug Method
5. Slide the hose clamp over end of hose and slide hose over the male adapter in the water heater drain opening and secure in place using hose clamp.
6. Lift container to the "Pour" Position, see Figure 9, being careful to keep the vent in the handle above the liquid level and pour the UN•LIME into the heater.
7. Lower container, you may have to place the container on its empty carton to prevent the UN•LIME from flowing back into the container.
8. Let UN•LIME remain in the heater for 5 minutes and then lower the container to the "Drain" Position, see Figure 9.
9. Deliming activity is indicated by foaming on the surface of the UN•LIME. If there is deliming activity, repeat steps 6 thru 8.
Normally, lime removal will be completed within one hour. Severe build-up of lime may take longer than an hour to complete descaling.
— 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.
