FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK CHOOSING THE BEST WATER HEATER @1995 A.D. Technical Information Smith Irving, Texas Water Products Co.
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK Exterior installation clearance requirements are crucial and must be met to ensure Exterior compliance with all safety and code requirements. Clearances: met, do not unpack the heater. FPSE All exterior clearance requirements for the FPS and FPSE are measured from the vent termination.
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK Exterior Exterior installation clearance requirements are crucial and must be met to ensure Clearances: compliance with all safety and code requirements. met, do not unpack the heater. All exterior clearance requirements for the FPO are measured from the vent termination.
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK Checking for On initial start up, check for the correct draft on the Power Shot. To check the Draft draft, place a smoke stick directly in front of the inlet air damper while the heater is firing.
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK CONDITION Burnt gas odor when heater is operatinq The majority of the complaints associated with the operation of the will likely be a direct result of improper venting. If the customer complains of smelling burnt gas around the water heater, first check for vent gases that may be leaking from the PVC joints or around the area between the blower assembly and water heater.
Page 19
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK CONDITION Excessive heat build-up in PVC venting Intermittent fan cycling without burner operation (Propane Only) A malfunctioning vent damper may also cause excessive heat buildup in the PVC vent piping unable to free the damper, replace the entire combustion control tee. If blower does not run when the main burner fires, replace the control for correct size.
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK Diagnosing pilot outage complaints requires an examination of the environment in Negative Pressure which the heater is installed. Mechanical vent fans are the chief cause of negative pressure. If the house is too tight, more air will be exhausted from the structure than is being brought in from the outside, resulting in a negative pressure condition.

FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK PROPER SEQUENCE OF OPERATION A. FPS40 - 50 During standby is blower off? On a call for heat does gas valve open? Does gas pressure switch close? Does the blower come on? If so, does the air pressure make? Does the solenoid open? Does main burner ignite? Does the thermostat satisfy?
Page 99
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK SAFETY VII. A. Gas flame Does pilot prove before main burner ignites? Does damper blade fully open before ignition sequence occurs? Is burner cover plate in place? Is burner floor shield in place? Does liD lockout occur after 30 sec. trial for ignition? (Propane models only) B.
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK FPS MODELS What is the CFM of the blower? Maximum of 60 CFM Will the blower move more air through the unit than conventional venting and thereby cause less heat to be transferred into the water? No.
Page 101
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK Is there a maximum distance that the vent cap can terminate from the exterior wall? No, as long as the overall equivalent length is not exceeded. We would advise that the exterior piping have a slight negative slope and be properly supported and insulated (The colder the vent piping, the more condensation will be experienced).
Page 102
FPS/FPSE/FPD TECHNICAL TRAINING AND SERVICE WORKBOOK If the inlet air damper does not open to provide dilution air, the PVC vent will sag due to excessive temperature. Propane units do not have a bypass in the gas solenoid valve. This may result in occasional cycling stand by between calls for heat.
