    temperature be set for the lowest temperature which satisfies your hot water needs. This will also provide the most energy efficient operation of the water heater and minimize scale formation. SETTING THE WATER HEATER TEMPERATURE AT 120°F/49°C WILL REDUCE THE RISK OF SCALDS. Some states require settings at specific lower temperatures.
  • Page 5: Locating The Heater

    LOCATING THE HEATER WARNING THERE IS A RISK IN USING FUEL BURNING APPLIANCES SUCH AS GAS WATER HEATERS IN ROOMS, GARAGES OR OTHER AREAS WHERE GASOLINE, OTHER FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS OR ENGINE DRIVEN EQUIPMENT OR VEHICLES ARE STORED, OPERATED OR REPAIRED. FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE HEAVY AND TRAVEL ALONG THE FLOOR AND MAY BE IGNITED BY THE HEATER’S IGNITER OR MAIN BURNER FLAMES CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
  • Page 6: Hard Water

    HARD WATER Where hard water conditions exist, water softening or the threshold type of water treatment is recommended. This will protect the dishwashers, coffee urns, water heaters, water piping and other equipment. See MAINTENANCE section for details of tank cleanout procedure. AIR REQUIREMENTS KEEP APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE OF COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

  • Page 10: Direct Venting

    IMPORTANT The vent system must terminate so that proper clearances are maintained as cited in local codes or the current editions of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 or the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CAN/CSA-B149.1. Do not terminate the exhaust vent terminal over public area where condensate or vapor can cause nuisance or hazard.

    5. Glue the intake vent terminal to the section of the pipe. 6. Slide the wall plate over the pipe to stop against intake vent terminal. 7. Place a bead of caulking (not supplied) around the gap between the pipe and the wall.
  • Page 12: Installation Of Vent System

    INSTALLATION OF VENT SYSTEM WARNING THE OPTIONAL INTAKE VENTING ARRANGEMENT AND THE EXHAUST VENTING ARRANGEMENT MUST BE INSTALLED TO RUN DIRECTLY TO THE OUTDOORS AND NOT IN ANY WAY BE CONNECTED TO ANOTHER VENTING SYSTEM (I.E. FURNACE, DRYERS OR SPACE HEATERS). IT IS CRUCIAL THAT THE VENTING ARRANGEMENT BE KEPT SEPARATE FROM OTHER VENTING SYSTEMS.
  • Page 13: Control And Switches

    CONTROLS AND SWITCHES All models are provided with four pressure switches. These switches are essential to the safe and proper operation of the unit. All switches are wired in series. The controller is set up to shut the unit down whenever there is a failure of any of the switches.
  • Page 14: Connection Of Gas Pipe

    WARNING THE HEATER IS NOT INTENDED FOR OPERATION AT HIGHER THAN 10.5" (2.59 KPa) WATER COLUMN SUPPLY GAS PRESSURE. HIGHER GAS SUPPLY PRESSURES REQUIRE SUPPLEMENTAL REDUCING SERVICE REGULATION. EXPOSURE TO HIGHER GAS SUPPLY PRESSURE MAY CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE GAS CONTROLS WHICH COULD RESULT IN FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
  • Page 15: Purging

    DISCONNECT THE APPLIANCE AND ITS MANUAL GAS SHUTOFF VALVE FROM THE GAS SUPPLY PIPING SYSTEM DURING ANY SUPPLY PRESSURE TESTING EXCEEDING 1/2 PSIG (3.45Kpa). GAS SUPPLY LINE MUST BE CAPPED WHEN DISCONNECTED FROM THE HEATER. FOR TEST PRESSURES OF 1/2 PSIG (3.45Kpa) OR LESS, THE APPLIANCE NEED NOT BE DISCONNECTED, BUT MUST BE ISOLATED FROM THE SUPPLY PRESSURE TEST BY CLOSING THE MANUAL GAS SHUTOFF VALVE.

    3. This unit may never be connected to any existing heating system or component(s) previously used with non-potable water heating appliance. 4. When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher than required for domestic water purposes, a tempering valve must be installed.
  • Page 17: Using The Electronic Controller

    USING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER 1. Overview Interaction with the water heater controller is done through an up, a down, and three operation buttons. These buttons are illustrated to the right. Operation of the three lower buttons is defined immediately above them on the screen. The [UP] and [DN] buttons are used to navigate through the menus and make adjustments to the water heater.

  • Page 33: Manifold Kits

    MANIFOLD KITS Precision cut type “L” all copper State manifold kits assure water flow balance of all units. Without this balance, the full water heating and storage potential of the system cannot be achieved. Plus, the units with the higher water flow may have a shortened life. Dimensions shown are for minimum space occupied by the water heaters assemblies.
  • Page 34: Checklist And Service Information

    CHECKLIST AND SERVICE INFORMATION IMPORTANT The installer may be able to observe and correct certain problems which might arise when the unit is put into operation or when it is re-fired after a prolonged shutdown. HOWEVER, it is recommended that only qualified servicemen, using appropriate test equipment, be allowed to service the heater.
  • Page 35: Replacement Parts

    MOTOR WILL NOT RUN 1. Confirm 120V AC to the controller. Also, to verify correct polarity, check for 120 V AC between hot supply and ground. If there is no voltage, check for a loose connection where it connects to the controller.
