Consumer Responsibilities  
This manual has been prepared to acquaint you (trained service technician) with the installation, oper-  
ation, and maintenance of the on-demand water heater and provide important safety information in these  
areas.  
Read all of the instructions thoroughly before attempting the installation or operation of the water heater.  
Service to the on-demand system should only be performed by a trained service technician.  
Massachusetts code requires this water heater to be installed in accordance with Massachusetts Plumbing  
and Fuel Gas Code 248 CMR Section 2.00 and 5.00.  
Water Temperature Regulation  
WARNING  
For systems with storage tanks, the water  
temperature in certain situation may vary up  
to 30°F (16.7°C) higher or lower at the point  
of use such as, bathtubs,showers, sink, etc.  
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD: Water heat-  
ers, are intended to produce hot water. Water  
heated to a temperature which will satisfy  
space heating, clothes washing, dish wash-  
ing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and  
permanently injure you upon contact. Some  
people are more likely to be permanently in-  
jured by hot water than others. These include  
the elderly, children, the infirm, or physically/  
mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot  
water in the home fits into one of these  
groups or if there is a local code or state law  
requiring a certain temperature water at the  
hot water tap, then you must take special  
precautions.  
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.  
Feel water before bathing or showering.  
Temperature limiting valves are available.

Installation  
In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means  
such as a mixing valve, should be used at hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater.  
Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for  
installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat see table below. Using  
the lowest hot water temperature that meets your needs will also provide the most energy efficient oper-  
ation of the water heater.  
Never allow small children to use a hot water

Table “A”  
The thermostat of the water heater has been factory set at 120° F, to reduce the risk of scald injury. It is  
adjustable and can be reset to the desired temperature setting. Some states have a requirement for a  
lower setting. If you need hotter water, follow directions for temperature adjustment, but beware of the  
warnings in this section.  
Site Location  
Select a location near the center of the water piping system.  
Consider the exhaust vent system piping and combustion air supply requirements when selecting the  
water heater location. The venting system must be able to run from the water heater to the termina-  
tion with a minimal length and number of elbows.  
Locate the water heater near the existing gas piping. If installing a new gas line, locate the water  
heater to minimize the pipe length and elbows.  
NOTE: This water heater must be installed according to all  
local and state codes or, in the absence of local and state  
codes, the “National Fuel Gas Code”, ANSI Z223.1(NFPA  
54)-current edition.  
The water heater should be located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures. Water heaters  
located in unconditioned spaces (i.e., attics, basements, etc.) may require insulation of the water piping  
and drain piping to protect against freezing. The drain and controls must be easily accessible for oper-  
ation and service. Maintain proper clearances as specified on the data plate.

For Storage Tank System Installation  
CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD  
The storage tank should be located in an area  
where leakage of the tank or connections will not  
result in damage to the area adjacent to the storage  
tank or to lower floors of the structure. Due to the  
normal corrosive action of the water, the tank will  
eventually leak after an extended period of time. Also  
any external plumbing leak, including those from  
improper installation, may cause early failure of the  
tank due to corrosion if not repaired. If the owner/  
operator is uncomfortable with making the repair a  
qualified technician should be contacted. A suitable  
metal drain pan should be installed under the storage  
tank as shown below, to help protect the property  
from damage which may occur from condensate form-  
ation or leaks in the piping connections or tank. The  
pan must limit the water level to a maximum depth of  
1-3/4” and be two inches wider than the tank and  
piped to an adequate drain. NOTE: The pan must  
not restrict combustion air flow. Locate the storage  
tank near a suitable indoor drain. Outside drains are  
subject to freezing temperatures which can obstruct  
the drain line. The piping should be at least 3/4” ID  
and pitched for proper drainage.

As water is heated, it expands (thermal expan-  
sion). In a closed system, the volume of water  
will grow. As the volume of water grows, there  
will be a corresponding increase in water pres-  
sure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expan-  
sion can cause premature tank failure (leakage).  
This type of failure is not covered under the  
limited warranty. Thermal expansion can also  
cause intermittent temperature-pressure relief  
valve operation: water discharged from the valve  
due to excessive pressure build up. The temper-  
ature / pressure relief valve is not intended for  
the constant relief of thermal expansion. This  
condition is not covered under the limited war-  
ranty.

For Storage Tank System Installation  
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve  
For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, a temperature and pressure relief valve  
must be installed in the opening on the on-demand storage tank. This valve must be design certified by  
a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of the production of listed  
equipment or materials as meeting the requirements for Releif Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems,  
ANSI Z21.22. The function of the temperature and pressure relief valve is to discharge water in large  
quantities in the event of excessive temperature or pressure developing in the water heater. The valve’s  
relief pressure must not exceed the working pressure of the water heater as stated on the data plate.  
IMPORTANT: Only a new temperature and pressure relief valve should be used with your water heater.  
Do not use an old or existing valve as it may be damaged or not adequate for the working pressure of  
the new water heater. Do not place any valve between the relief valve and the tank.  
WARNING  
Explosion Hazard  
If the temperature and pressure relief valve  
is dripping or leaking, have a qualified  
service technician replace it.  
Examples of a qualified service technician  
include: Licensed plumbers, authorized gas  
company personnel, and authorized service  
personnel.  
Do not plug valve.  
Do not remove valve.  
Failure to follow these instructions can  
result in death, or explosion.  
7
Water Quality and Scale  
A complete water analysis and an understanding of system requirements are needed to protect the  
on-demand water heaters and water heating systems from scale. Water analysis shows whether  
water is hard or soft. Hard water, unless treated, will cause scaling or liming of the heat exchanger.  
The rate of scaling increases with temperature and usage because calcium carbonate and other  
scaling compounds lose solubility (fallout of solution) at higher temperatures. For example, for every  
20°F over 140°F, the rate of scale increases by a factor of 2 (See figure below). Reference target  
water quality levels found in the operation / installation manual and consider water treatment if these  
levels are exceeded. *

Pump Sizing for Circulation  
1. Use the chart below or one appropriate for your conditions to determine the heat loss in the length of  
the hot water supply and return piping. For example, 100 ft of 1-1/2 in bare copper tubing results in a  
heat loss of 5300 Btu/h.

2. Determine the acceptable temperature drop at the last fixture in the loop. For example, if the supply  
temperature from the water heater is 120 ºF (49 ºC) and an acceptable temperature at the last fixture  
is 100 ºF (38 ºC) then the acceptable temperature drop is 20 ºF (7 ºC).  
3. Calculate the required pump flow rate using the following formula:  
FLOW RATE (gpm) =  
HEAT LOSS (BTU / h)  
500 X ACCEPTABLE TEMPERATURE DROP (ºF )  
4. Based on the above calculations select a pump for the type of circulation system you will be utilizing:  
A). Preferred Method (reference drawing H-1-RP) - Reference pump manufacturers flow vs.  
pressure specifications to select a pump that can provide the flow rate calculated above  
while overcoming the pressure loss through:  
Tank water heater (reference manufacturer’s information)  
All building supply and return plumbing in the circulation loop (reference  
local plumbling codes, standards, or practices)  
B). Optional Method (H-1-RO) - Reference pump manufacturers flow vs. pressure specifications  
to select a pump that can provide 3 gpm of flow or the flow rate calculated above, whichever  
is greater, while overcoming the pressure loss through:  
On demand water heater (reference flow vs. pressure curve of the model  
being used)  
Optional storage tank (reference manufacturer’s information)  
All building supply and return plumbing in the circulation loop (reference  
local plumbling codes, standards, or practices)  
NOTE: Only use pumps of brass or stainless steel construction. Do not use pumps of iron  
construction as they will oxidize and clog the inlet filter on the appliance.

Tank Water Heaters in a Circulation Loop  
The following applies when using a tank water heater (gas or electric) to provide heat for a circulation  
loop. Drawing H-1-RP is an example.  
The heat output of the tank must be equal to or greater than the calculated circulation loop heat loss.  
(Reference page 5, Step 1 on calculating heat loss).  
Electric Tank Water Heater  
Since the input and output are the same for an electric tank water heater, this can be expressed as:  
Electric Tank Input (Kw) > Circulation loop heat loss (Btu/h)  
3413  
(1 Kilowatt = 3,413 BTU)  
Gas Tank Water Heater  
When using a gas style water heater, the efficiency of the tank must be taken into account.  
Available Btu output = (Btu input of tank) x (efficiency) > Circulation loop heat loss (Btu/h)  
Example:  
30,000 Btu input gas tank  
0.62 Efficiency  
30,000 x .62 = 18,600 available Btu output  
Additional Guidelines  
On-demand water heaters not recovering a storage tank: In applications involving a commercial  
dishwasher, a hot water circulation loop feeding the dishwasher is required.  
On-demand water heater recovering a storage tank: In applications involving a commercial dishwasher,  
a hot water circulation loop feeding the dishwasher may be required depending on the distance between  
the dishwasher and the storage tank. Refer to local codes when determining the need for circulation  
loops to dishwashers.  
10  
Pump Sizing for Storage Tank Application  
The following applies when using on-demand water heaters to recover a storage tank.  
Drawing H-1-TC is an example.  
On-Demand water heaters have a pressure loss which must be considered in the system design.  
Reference the pressure loss curve for the heater model being used to determine the pump size for the  
desired recovery rate.  
For recommended pump sizes use the table below. Additional pressure losses in plumbing between the  
Heater(s) and the storage tank must also be taken into consideration.  
The specified pump size is to provide maximum recovery of the storage tank. A smaller pump size may  
be used, but could result in longer recovery time of the tank. Please contact the Tech Services department  
with any questions on pump sizing.  
NOTE: Only use pumps of brass or stainless steel construction. Do not use pumps of iron  
construction as they will oxidize and clog the inlet filter on the appliance.
