Standing Pilot

1.      Oil the water circulating pump in accordance 

with the manufacturer's instructions.

2.      If a strainer is used in a pressure reducing valve 

or in the piping, clean it every 6 months in 

accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

3.      At startup and every 6 months after, look at 

the pilot and main burner flame (see Figure 

31). If the flame has the appearance of sooting 

tips, check for debris near orifices. Call service 

technician. 

4.      Inspect the venting system for blockage, leakage, 

and corrosion at least once a year.

5.      Keep the heater area clear of combustible 

material, gasoline, and other flammable liquids 

and vapors.

6.      Be sure all combustion air and ventilation 

openings are not blocked.

7.      Check for black carbon soot buildup on the 

external surfaces of the heat exchanger every 6 

months. 

8.      Do not use the heater if any part has been under 

water. Replace any part of the control system and 

any gas control which has been under water.
NOTE: After installation and first startup, check 

the heat exchanger for black carbon soot buildup after 

the following periods of operation: 24 hours, 7 days, 

30 days, 90 days, and once every 6 months thereafter.

The gas and electric controls installed on the 

heaters are designed for both dependable operation and 

long life. Safe operation of the heater depends on their 

proper functioning. 

NOTE: The warranty does not cover damage 

caused by lack of required maintenance or improper 

operating practices.

 

Never attempt to repair the gas valve. Such 

attempts will void the warranty, and could lead to 

dangerous results.

If the gas valve is found to be defective, replace 

it by following these instructions.
1.      Turn off electrical power to the heater.
2.      Turn off the main gas supply at the manual gas 

cock outside the heater jacket or at the meter.

3.      Remove the front access door on the heater.
4.      Disconnect the service union in the gas line, and 

unscrew the main gas pipe from the gas valve 

(see Figure 32).

5.      Remove the two screws that fastens the anti-

rotation bracket on the left side of the gas valve 

(see Figure 32), and the three screws attached to 

heater.

6.      Remove the pilot gas tube and copper 

thermocouple shield, if present, from the gas 

valve.

 

Label all wires prior to disconnection. Wiring errors 

can cause improper and dangerous operation.

7.      Tag and remove all wires from the gas valve 

terminals.

8.      Pull the burner tray out of the heater (see 

Figure 32).

9.      Screw the new gas valve onto the manifold pipe. 

Make sure the arrow on the bottom of the gas 

valve that indicates the direction of gas flow is 

in the proper direction. Also make sure the brass 

fitting is on the right side.

10.    Connect the pilot gas tube to the pilot assembly 

and thermocouple to the gas valve.
