CAUTION
Oxygen contamination of the boiler water
will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler
components, and can lead to boiler failure. New
Yorker's Standard Warranty does not cover
problems caused by oxygen contamination of
boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by
frequent addition of water.
I. CONNECT TANKLESS HEATER PIPING AS
SHOWN IN Figure 14. See Table 4 for Tankless Heater
Ratings.
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE
FOLLOWED WHEN PIPING THE TANKLESS HEATER:
1. FLOW REGULATION — If ow through the heater
is greater than its rating, the supply of adequate hot
water may not be able to keep up with the demand.
For this reason a ow regulator matching the heater
rating should be installed in the cold water line to
the heater. The ow regulator should preferably be
located below the inlet to the heater and a minimum

of 3’ away from the inlet so that the regulator is not
subjected to excess temperatures that may occur
during “off” periods when it is possible for heat
to be conducted back through the supply line. The
ow regulator also limits the ow of supply water
regardless of inlet pressure variations in the range of
20 to 125 psi.
2. TEMPERING OF HOT WATER — Installation
of an automatic mixing valve will lengthen the
delivery of the available hot water by mixing some
cold water with the hot. This prevents excessive
and possibly scalding hot water at the xtures. In
addition, savings of hot water will be achieved since
the user will not waste as much hot water while
seeking water temperature to his liking. Higher
temperature hot water required by dishwashers and
automatic washers is possible by piping the hot
water from the heater prior to entering the mixing
valve. The mixing valve should be “trapped” by
installing it below the cold water inlet to heater to
prevent lime formation in the valve.
WARNING
Install automatic mixing valve at tankless heater
outlet to avoid risk of burns or scalding due to
excessively hot water at xtures. Adjust and
maintain the mixing valve in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. FLUSHING OF HEATER — All water contains
some sediment which settles on the inside of the
coil. Consequently, the heater should be periodically
backwashed. This is accomplished by installing
hose bibs as illustrated and allowing water at city
pressure to run into hose bib A, through the heater,
and out hose bib B until the discharge is clear. The
tees in which the hose bibs are located should be
the same size as heater connections to minimize
pressure drop.
4. HARD WATER — A water analysis is necessary to
determine the hardness of your potable water. This
is applicable to some city water and particularly to
well water. An appropriate water softener should
be installed based on the analysis and dealer’s
recommendation. This is not only benecial to the
tankless heater but to piping and xtures plus the
many other benets derived from soft water.
J. INDIRECT WATER HEATER PIPING
1. CONNECT Indirect Water Heater Piping as
shown in Figures 11A and 11B for water boilers
and Figures 12 and 15 for steam boilers. Refer
to Indirect Water Heater Instruction Manual for
additional installation information.
