PART 2 – PREPARE THE STORAGE TANK UNCRATING STORAGE TANK – Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee. o COLD WEATHER HANDLING – If the storage tank has been stored in a very cold location (BELOW 0 F) before installation, handle with care until the plastic components come to room temperature. Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the storage tank to be moved into its installation location. A.
B. LOCATING THE STORAGE TANK This storage tank is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty. Choose a location for the storage tank as centralized to the piping system as possible. Also, locate the storage tank and domestic water piping where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All piping should be insulated. Additionally, place the storage tank so that the drain, controls, and inlets/outlets are easily accessible.
the water precipitate out as the water is heated and cause accelerated lime scale accumulation on a heat transfer surface. This lime o scale build-up may result in premature failure of the storage tank. Operating temperatures above 135 F will further accelerate the buildup of lime scale and may shorten the service life of the storage tank. Water that is classified as hard and very hard must be softened to avoid storage tank failure.
prevent short circulating the tankless coil. This may cause poor supply pressure, or noisy operation, depending upon the type of installation.) On the tank, tankless outlet, use both thread tape and pipe dope and connect a ¾” NPT brass tee. On the run, install a brass drain valve. In the branch, install a ¾” (minimum) tube adapter, and connect this to the hot tankless coil outlet on the boiler. NOTE: See “TYPICAL INSTALLATION”, Figure 3. C.
D. TYPICAL INSTALLATION Figure 3 – Typical Storage Tank Installation E. POTABLE EXPANSION TANK A thermal expansion tank is required in the system designed for potable water use, to offset the expansion of stored water as the temperature is elevated. PART 4 – CONTROL AND WIRING A. CONTROL A pre-wired surface mount control is provided on your storage tank. Temperature may be set by removing lower cover screw and lower cover. B.
Figure 4 – Wiring the Control PART 5 – OPERATING THE STORAGE TANK o Boiler high limit should be set at least 20 F higher than the storage tank temperature setting. Some boilers will require a low temperature setting to maintain domestic demand. o We recommend a storage tank temperature setting of 120 F. However, a lower temperature setting may be required to comply with local and state codes for normal operation. You may prefer a setting of either higher or lower water temperature.
PART 6 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Periodic maintenance should be performed by a qualified service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the water heating system may result in a hazardous condition.
TROUBLESHOOTING NO HOT WATER PROBLEM Zone valve not opening Circulator not operating Tank control set too low Boiler control set too low Wiring incorrect Tank control failure Zone valve failure Circulator failure Air trap in loop POSSIBLE SOLUTION Open manually to replace.
HTP CUSTOMER INSTALLATION RECORD FORM The following form should be completed by the installer for you to keep as a record of the installation in case of a warranty claim. After reading the important notes at the bottom of the page, please also sign this document.
