Locate the water heater where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. The water heater should be located near a floor drain, or installed in a drain pan. HTP will NOT be held liable for leakage damages.
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the water heater and associated equipment. HTP recommends having water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked before installing the water heater, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system.
NOTE: It is possible to use live steam in the heat exchanger of the SuperStor Ultra 80 and 119 residential and commercial models ONLY. Using any other Superstor Ultra model in live steam applications will result in product failure and VOID the warranty.
6” above the structural floor. The relief line cannot be in contact with any live electrical parts. If the relief valve constantly weeps, install an expansion tank, and see expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for suggestions. Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death may result.
discharge temperature by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing supplier. Table 6 details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.
H. PIPING NOTES: 1. Minimum pipe size should match connection size. Upsize pipe accordingly if greater flow is required. 2. A thermal expansion tank suitable for potable water must be sized and installed within this piping system between the backflow preventer and the cold water inlet.

PART 5 – START-UP AND OPERATION 1. Fill the water heater by opening the cold water shut-off valve. Purge air from the system by opening a hot water outlet at a fixture in a kitchen or bathroom. When water flows freely from the outlet, the system is purged. 2.
PART 6 – MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Periodic maintenance should be performed by a qualified service technician to assure that all the equipment is operating safely and efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the heater. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance of the heater may result in a hazardous condition.
