 WATER WITH SINGLE-WALL / DOUBLE-WALL  (con't) 
 
ELECTRICAL 
 
The heater is wired for 120 volts and must be electrically grounded in accordance with local 
codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code 
ANSI/NFPA. When unit is installed in Canada, it must conform to the CSA C22.1, Canadian 
Electrical Code, Part 1 and/or local electrical codes. 
 
1.  Water must be pumped continuously 
through the boiler when it is being fired. 
 
2.  Do not energize water heater or pumps 
until tank is full of water. Serious 
damage may result.  
3.  All wiring must be in accordance with all 
local, state, or federal codes. 
 
4.  Provide proper overload protection for 
the system's circulating pumps. 
 
 
 
NOTE:  Use only copper wire of proper sizing for incoming service. Damage 
resulting from use of aluminum wiring will be excluded from coverage under 
the warranty of this unit. 
 
 
 
RELIEF VALVE PIPING 
 
The water heater is supplied with a 
pressure and temperature relief valve, sized 
in accordance with ASME requirements. 
Each relief valve should be piped to a 
suitable floor drain. No reducing coupling or 
other restriction can be installed in the 
discharge line.  
 
 
 
 
MAINTENANCE 
 
1.  A preventive maintenance program 
should be established to assure a long, 
trouble-free life for the water heater. 
 
2.  Scale will normally form in the tank 
during operation and will accumulate on 
the bottom of the tank. The scale is 
formed from the natural chemicals in the 
water that precipitate  out during the 
heating cycles. Some water supplies 
contain more of these chemicals than
 
others,  and  the scale buildup will occur 
 
 
 
 
more rapidly. Other factors affecting the 
scale buildup are the amount of hot 
water used and the temperature of the 
water. The more hot water used, the 
more fresh water containing the scale-
forming chemicals is brought into the 
tank. As the temperature of the water 
increases, the rate of scale deposited 
will be increased. The unit should be 
inspected and cleaned as required  by 
local water conditions.
