-- IMPORTANT --

Always reference the full model number and serial number when calling the factory.

WARNING / CAUTION

1. Tank is to be completely filled with water and all air is to be vented before energizing.

2. Due to the rigors of transportation, all connections should be checked for tightness before heater

is placed in operation.

3. Safety relief valve must be installed in tapping provided.

4. The refractory material used in heating elements may absorb some moisture during transit,

periods of storage, or when subjected to a humid environment. This moisture absorption results

in a cold insulation resistance of less than twenty(20) megohms. If this heater has been

subjected to the above condition, each heating element must be checked for insulation

resistance before energizing. A low megohm condition can be corrected by removing the

terminal hardware and baking the element in an oven at 350°F -700°F for several hours or until

the proper megohm reading is obtained.

5. KEEP AWAY FROM LIVE ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS.

Do not perform any maintenance, make any adjustments, or replace any components inside the

control panel with the high voltage power supply turned on. Under certain circumstances,

dangerous potentials may exist even when the power supply is off. To avoid casualties, always

turn the power supply safety switch to off, turn the charge or ground the circuit before

performing any maintenance or adjustment procedure.

6. The unit is designed to operate at pressure not more than 150 psi.

7. Generalized instructions and procedures cannot anticipate all situations. For this reason, only

qualified installers should perform the installations. A qualified installer is a person who has

licensed training and a working knowledge of the applicable codes regulation, tools, equipment,

and methods necessary for safe installation of an electric resistance water heater. If questions

regarding installation arise, check your local plumbing and electrical inspectors for proper

procedures and codes. If you cannot obtain the required information, contact the company.

SECTION I - GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

This book describes a packaged electric water heater that is a stationary, self-contained unit. The

complete assembly consists of the storage tank, immersion electric heating element(s), thermostat(s),

safety relief valve, safety high temperature cut out, and any other required electrical operating control.

Optional equipment may be supplied with your unit. Please consult the product drawing for details

specific to your assembly. The unit is factory assembled, insulated, jacketed, wired, tested, and ready

for electrical and plumbing service connections.

CONSTRUCTION

TANK

Standard Tank Construction:

The standard storage tank is constructed of steel and internally lined with specially formulated

Hydrastone cement to a ½-inch minimum thickness. The tank is designed for a maximum allowable

working pressure of 150 psi (300 psi TP).

Optional Tank Construction:

Optionally, the storage tank may be constructed of all welded solid copper-silicon alloy (ASTM B-96)

or type 316L stainless steel for maximum tank longevity. No internal lining is required due to the non-

ferrous materials used in the construction of the pressure vessel. The tank is designed for a maximum

allowable working pressure of 150 psi (300psi TP).

TANK CONNECTIONS

The heater is supplied with separate cold water and hot water connections. Water entering the cold

water inlet is deflected by means of a baffle within the tank. The hot water outlet includes a built in heat

trap to prevent hot water from radiating out from the heater. A ¾-inch FNPT connection is located on

the side of the heater for mounting a combination safety temperature and pressure relief valve. An

overflow line should be utilized from the relief valve outlet to a floor drain. A ¾-inch GHT connection

is supplied for draining. See drawing for locations and sizes.

HEATING ELEMENT

The water heater is supplied with an electric immersion heating element assembly(s), composed of a

copper sheathed element(s) that are brazed into a brass flange. Each assembly is fastened to a

corresponding tank flange using a gasket and four (4) 3/8-16 x 1-inch long hex head steel bolts and

nuts. See drawing for voltage and power ratings.

CONTROL THERMOSTAT

The water heater is supplied as standard with a surface mounted thermostatic switch that is installed

and wired at the factory. As an option an immersion thermostat is available. See drawing for specific

details. The surface mounted thermostat can be adjusted through a range of 110° - 170° F. The

immersion thermostat can be adjusted through a range of 100° - 190° F. Both thermostats are adjustable

with a flat tip screwdriver.

Surface Mounted Thermostat

(Standard)

(Optional)

TEMPERATURE HIGH LIMIT SWITCH

As a safety device, a surface mounted high temperature cut-off switch with manual reset, factory set at

190° F, is supplied. As an optional, an immersion high temperature cut-off switch with manual reset,

factory set at 180° F, may be provided. In the event of an over-temperature condition, the thermostat

will disengage the power from the system. The high limit must be manually reset thereafter to restart

the heater.

OUTER SHELL AND INSULATION

The tank is encapsulated in 2-inch thick polyurethane foam insulation. The insulation is protected by a

high impact non-corroding colorized composite protective jacket.

OPTIONS

The following optional features may be included in your water heater. Reference included drawing

specific to your heater for further details.

Low Water Cut-Off

Used as a safety device, the electronic low water cut-off is used to detect a low water situation and

disengage the operating coils in the magnetic contactor(s). Once the condition is remedied, the low

water cut-off switch is automatically reset.

Dial Temperature and Pressure Gauge

A combination temperature (70° - 250° F) and pressure (0 – 200 psi) gauge with 2½-inch dial may be

supplied for in-line installation (shipped loose) or factory installed in the tank.

Vacuum Relief Valve

A vacuum relief valve may be provided with the unit to reduce the risk of back siphonage and back

pressure of the system. The valve will be shipped loose for in-line installation. Instructions for

installation are provided with the valve.

Horizontal Constructions

The unit can be designed for horizontal installation, either ceiling hung or base mounted.

Building Management System (BMS)

A Building Management System control package may be supplied for remote operation and alarm

capabilities.

operations. A set of instructions will be supplied with the timer.

SECTION II – INSTALLATION

WARNING / CAUTION

DO NOT TURN ON THE ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY to this equipment until heater is

completely filled with water and all air has been released. If the heater is NOT filled with water when

the power is turned on, the heating elements will burn out.

For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, local codes require the installation of a

temperature-and-pressure (T&P) relief valve certified by a nationally recognized laboratory that

maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment of materials, as meeting the

requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff for Hot Water Supply Systems. ANSI

Z21.22-1971. THE CUSTOMER IS RESPONSIBLE TO PROTECT PROPERTY AND

PERSONNEL FROM HARM WHEN THE VALVE FUNCTIONS.

All water heaters have a risk of leakage at some unpredictable time. IT IS THE CUSTOMER'S

RESPONSIBILITY TO PROVIDE A CATCH PAN OR OTHER ADEQUATE MEANS, SO THAT

THE RESULTANT FLOW OF WATER WILL NOT DAMAGE FURNISHINGS OR PROPERTY.

WATER HEATER PLACEMENT

1. Place the heater on a solid foundation in a clean, dry location nearest to the point of most

frequent hot water use. If the heater is to be raised off the floor, the entire bottom of the

heater should be supported by a solid surface.

2. The water heater should be protected from freezing and waterlines insulated to reduce energy

and water waste.

3. Leave a minimum of 18” clearance for element withdrawal, if necessary.

4. Do not install in an area where flammable liquids or combustible vapors are present.

PIPING INSTALLATION

NOTE: The most effective means for preventing deterioration from accelerated corrosion due to

galvanic and stray current is the installation of dielectric fittings/unions. The installation of these

fittings is the responsibility of the installing contractor.

1. Connect the cold water inlet and hot water outlet to the appropriate connections as shown;

refer to the drawing for location and sizes.

2. Install in-line vacuum breaker and in-line pressure and temperature gauge, if supplied.

3. Install the combination temperature and pressure safety relief valve in the tapping provided.

Note that this is required by law for safety considerations.

4. Install a relief valve overflow pipe to a nearby floor drain. CAUTION: No valve of any type

should be installed between the relief valve and tank or in the drain line.

FILLING THE HEATER

1. Completely close the drain valve.

2. Open the highest hot water faucet to allow all air to escape from piping.

3. Open the valve to the cold water inlet and allow the heater and piping system to completely

fill, as indicated by a steady flow of water from the open faucet.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

1. Enter junction box with properly sized feeder leads.

2. Connect these power leads to wires enclosed in junction box with wire nuts.

3. All other electrical connections are made at the factory; therefore, no other electrical

connections are necessary.

FINAL CHECKS

1. Check all connections for tightness.

2. Ensure that all the above steps are completed

3. After the water is heated for the first time, monitor the water temperature as described in

Section III, Quarterly Inspection.

SECTION III - SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION

WARNING / CAUTION

Before performing any maintenance procedure, make certain power supply is OFF and cannot

accidentally be turned on.

MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION

The water heater is automatic in its operation. It will maintain a full tank of water at the temperature

setting of the thermostat. The water heater should not be turned on without first making sure that the

tank is full of water and that all air has been released.

FREEZING

The tank should be fully drained in the event the electricity has been turned off and if there is danger

of freezing.

QUARTERLY INSPECTION

1. Monitor thermostat

a. Let water heater completely heat to a designated thermostat setting.

b. After thermostat satisfies (that is, when the thermostat actually clicks off), draw water from

heater.

c. Compare water temperature of drawn water to the temperature setting of the thermostat when

it satisfies. Normal variation between the two points is approximately + 5°F.

d. If these two readings do not coincide within acceptable tolerances and verification has been

made of the accuracy of the temperature-reading gauge, replace the thermostat.

2. Lift test lever on relief valve and let water run through valve for a period of approximately 10

seconds. This will help flush away any sediment that might build up in water passageways.

3. Inspect element flange for leakage as follows:

a. Shut off Power Supply.

b. Remove element housing cover.

c. Visually inspect heating element gasket for evidence of leaks.

d. Rub finger around gasket that is between the heating element and tank flange for any

evidence of moisture. If moisture is present or a water drip is observed, follow procedure

outlined in Section V.

4. Check for loose electrical connections. Tighten as necessary.
