APPLICATIONS
Space Heating Applications
WARNING
• This water heater is suitable for combination water (potable) heating and space
heating and not suitable for space heating applications only.
• In order to purge air in water pipes within a closed-loop system, an air vent and
air separator should be installed in to the system. Required circulation flow rates
are labeled next to each application diagram. These flow rate requirements must
be followed.
• Toxic chemicals used in boiler treatments such as alcohol, glycerol and glycol groups
must not be introduced into the system if the system incorporates an open-loop potable
water system.
• Toxic chemicals used in boiler treatments such as alcohol, glycerol and gl
ycol group
must not be introduced into the system when used for open loop potable water and
space heating.
• The water heater can be used to supply potable water and space heating and shall not
be connected to any heating system or component(s) previously used with non-potable
water where any chemicals were added to the water heating appliances.
• When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than required
for other uses, a means such as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the water for
those other uses in order to reduce scald hazard potential.
• Water temperature over 125 °F (52ºC) can cause severe burns instantly or death from
scalds.
Re-circulation:
This is a concept drawing only.
* The recirculation pump is to be controlled by:
-Dual-set aquastat (recommended w/timer)
OR
-“Pump Control Connections”. Refer to p.22.
* The recirculation pump is to provide no less
than 2 GPM and no more than 4 GPM through
each activated unit in the system.
