PLUS water heaters are exempt from ASME Section VIII, Division 1 Code construction per Interpretation VIII-1-8-1. Check with local codes for applicability. Where recommendations in this manual differ from local or national codes, local or national codes take precedence. This water heater is not intended for outdoor installation. Select a convenient location for water heater, based on domestic and boiler piping hook-ups. Keeping the distance between boiler and water heater short will: • reduce piping heat loss. • provide minimum friction loss. Install water heater so if tank or any connections should leak, the water flow will not cause damage to area near water heater, or to lower floors of structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, install a suitable drain pan under water heater. Drain pans are available at your local plumbing supply store. This product is designed for vertical installation only. Installation location must provide adequate clearances for servicing and proper operation of the water heater. GOLD Plus 30/40/60/80 or • Zero clearance is permissible to either side of water heater, but Instruction label or other labels may be hidden.

    Manual • Installation Thermal expansion Water hammer General piping information Table 1 Piping (Inches NPT) Part Number PLUS-E017-A/1206 • Start-Up • Usage Water heater piping If a backflow preventer, check valve, or pressure reducing valve is piped on cold water inlet of water heater, you must install an expansion tank on cold water supply line to prevent normal thermal expansion from repeat- edly forcing open T&P relief valve. The T&P relief valve is not intended for constant duty, such as relief of pressure due to repeated normal system expansion. Refer to expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for proper sizing. Failure to follow the above could result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. Dishwashers, clothes washers, and fast-closing positive shutoff valves incorporated in the system all contribute to creating water shock. Install a water hammer arrester to prevent damage to pipes and appliances. See control manufacturer’s instructions for application and installation. • For domestic water piping, see pages 8 through 12. • See pages 22–2, for domestic water recirculation piping. • See Table 1 for piping connections: • All plumbing must meet or exceed all local, state and national plumbing codes.

    PLUS LINE Indirect-Fired Water Heaters – Series 3 Domestic water piping Boiler water Water heater piping • Union on domestic hot water outlet should be piped at a higher elevation than domestic water drain valve. This will make draining water heater easier. • Install unions for easy removal of water heater. Use dielectric unions or couplings to protect hot and cold water fittings from corrosion when connecting dissimilar materials such as copper and galvanized iron pipe. • If copper pipe is used for domestic water connections, first solder pipe to a threaded adapter, and then screw adapter into cold water inlet on top of water heater. Inlet contains an internal plastic dip tube rated at 20°F, which can be damaged by heat from soldering. • When the supply pressure is higher than 0 psig, install a pressure reducing valve on cold water supply line to prevent water loss through T&P relief valve. • If water heater will replace tankless coil in boiler,` disconnect piping to coil or remove coil from boiler and replace with a cover plate. Allow water to drain from coil. Do not plug tankless coil. Plugging tankless coil inlet and outlet will result in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. • Boiler water (including additives) must be practically non-toxic, having toxicity rating or class of 1, as listed in Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products. • If antifreeze is used in boiler system, local codes may require a backflow preventer on cold water supply line. Use antifreeze specifically intended for hydronic heating systems.
