temperature rise at boiler output listed in the performance table on page 3 and a minimum actual storage capacity of not less than _______ gallons per
water heater.
D. The water heater shall have a minimum of _______
square feet of heat transfer surface area.
E. The water heater shall be designed for a maximum
boiler side pressure drop through the outer tank of
3ft of pressure loss or less at volume flow rate of 28
gpm.
1. Consist of two (2) concentric tanks. The inner
tank shall contain the domestic water and the
outer tank shall contain the heating system
water. This “Tank in Tank” design concept shall
allow the inner tank to be self-descaling.
2. The inner tank shall be 304L corrugated stainless steel material that is passivated to provide
additional resistance to corrosion.
3. The inner tank shall have a maximum working
pressure of 150 psi and shall be able to withstand
a hydrostatic test pressure of 300 psi.
4. The outer tank shall be of carbon steel material
and have a maximum working pressure of 45 psi.
5. The water heater shall provide a cold water inlet
connection, hot water outlet connection and an
AUX connection that is to be utilized for the
Temperature / Pressure relief valve or a recirculation return connection.
6. The outer tank shall be covered with a minimum 2
inches of CFC/HCFC-free rigid polyurethane foam
insulation with an equivalent “R” value of 16.
F. The water heater shall have a standby loss less than
1°F per hour.
G. The water heater shall have a maximum allowable
system heating water temperature of 210°F.
H. The water heater shall comply to the construction
standards of UL 174 and be certified by ITS/ETL or
other third party agency.

A. Water Heater Construction
7. The water heater shall be covered by a single
piece polypropylene exterior jacket that resists
dents, cuts and abrasions.
B. Temperature Control
1. A drywell shall be inserted into and extend the
full length of the inner tank.
2. Within the drywell shall be a remote sensing
bulb attached to a low voltage thermostat that
senses the water temperature in the tank.

3. The thermostat shall open a circuit contact when
the temperature rises above the set point and
shall close when the temperature falls to a temperature no more than 9°F below the set point.
4. The thermostat shall be adjustable from 90º F to
a maximum temperature setting of 164°F for
residential and 194°F for commercial.
5. The thermostat shall be mounted on a removable cover plate and wired to a removable snapset connector to allow easy installation and servicing. All field wiring to the thermostat / snapset connector shall be 24V.
C. Field Installation
1. The water heater shall have a field installed
Temperature / Pressure relief valve with a minimum
element length of 8 inches (extended element).
2. The T&P relief valve shall bear the ASME rating, have a relief pressure of 150 psi and a relief
temperature of 210°F.
B. The Indirect Fired Water Heater(s) shall comply
with the National Standard Plumbing Code provided that:
1. The boiler (system heating) water (including
additives) is practically non-toxic, having toxicity rating or Class of 1 as listed in Clinical
Toxicology of Commercial Products and
2. Boiler water pressure is limited to a maximum
30 psig by an approved relief valve.
C. The Indirect Fired Water Heater(s) shall comply
with the Uniform Plumbing Code Paragraph L3.2
and L3.3 provided that:
1. The heat transfer medium is potable water or
contains only substances which are recognized
as safe by the US Food and Drug
Administration.
2. The pressure of the heat transfer medium is
maintained less than the normal minimum operating pressure of the potable water system.
D. Manuals
1. The water heater(s) shall be provided with complete instruction manuals, including:
a) Operational and Maintenance Manual
Warranty
A. The water heater shall carry a limited lifetime war-
ranty when installed in a residential application.
B. The water heater shall carry a six (6) year non-pro-
rated warranty when installed in a commercial
application.
Code Requirement
A. The Indirect Fired Water Heater(s) shall be recog-
nized as an ASME Equal by the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts Plumbing Board.
3. The equipment is permanently labeled to indicate
that only additives recognized as safe by the FDA
shall be used in the heat transfer medium.
Other heat exchangers designs may be permitted where
approved by the Administrative Authority.
D. The installer shall be responsible to ensure that the
installation of the Indirect Fired Water Heater is in
compliance with all applicable local, state and
national codes.
