GENERAL INFORMATION

FEATURES

This water heater contains the following features:

HEAT EXCHANGER – The heat exchanger (coil) has 1” NPT female

fittings.

These water heaters with stainless steel single-wall heat exchangers

meet the Uniform Plumbing Code for installation in all potable water

systems provided that:

• The boiler water (including additives) is practically non-toxic,

having toxicity rating of class of 1 as listed in Clinical Toxicology

of Commercial Products.

• The boiler water pressure is limited to maximum 30 psig by

approved relief valve.

• The heat transfer medium is potable water or contains only

substances that are recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and

Drug Administration (FDA).

• The pressure of the heat transfer medium is maintained less

than the normal minimum operating pressure of the potable

water system.

ADJUSTABLE THERMOSTAT – The temperature may be adjusted

from approximately 80°F (27°C) to approximately 160°F(72°C). The

aquastat (thermostat) is factory set at 120°F(49°C). It is recommended

that lower temperatures be used to avoid the risk of scalding (refer to

Section VII of this manual). It is further recommended, in all cases, that

the water temperature be set for the lowest temperature that satisfies

your hot water needs. This will also provide the most energy efficient

operation of the water heater and minimize scale formation.

Setting the water heater temperature at 120°F(49°C) will reduce the risk

of scalds. Some locations require settings to specific lower

temperatures.
