local codes.
Polymer Headers (Residential Models)
Before attaching the 2-inch unions to the inlet/outlet
header, make sure the O-rings are properly seated in
the grooves. Use Aqualube or equivalent non-petroleum-
based lubricant on the O-ring. Hand tighten the unions.
Glue PVC piping directly to the unions.

High temperature CPVC header flanges and header
flange nuts are provided. If there is any possibility of back-
siphoning when the pump stops, it is suggested that a
check valve (or valves) also be installed in the system.

Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not
damage the structure of adjacent area. Before attaching
the ProTek Shield Adapter to the inlet connection and the
2-inch unions, make sure the O-rings are properly seated
in the grooves. Use Aqualube or equivalent non-petroleum-
based lubricant on the O-ring. Hand tighten the unions.

NOTE: Some jurisdictions require the addition of a flow
switch on ASME installations. Kit # TBD can be ordered
that will allow a standard ASME unit to comply with the
code requirements.

ProTek Shield Assembly

This heater is equipped with a ProTek Shield Assembly
(located under the inlet connection on polymer headers
and in the ProTek Shield Adapter assembly shipped loose
in the accessory carton for field installation on brass ASME
headers).
This component provides protection to the heat exchanger
against galvanic corrosion, when properly bonded to the
heat exchanger. It should be replaced when the weight of
the ProTek Shield is reduced to about 40% of the original
weight (1.46 #).
