QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE It takes only 5 seconds of skin contact with 140°F water to cause a second degree burn! You must protect against high water temperatures at all lavatories, tubs, showers and other points of hot water contact.
QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater WATER HEATER INSTALLATION 3.1 Checking Equipment Before You Install Inspect the unit completely upon receipt from the freight carrier before signing the bill of lading. Inspect the appliance and all accompanying parts for signs of impact or mishandling. Verify the total number of pieces shown on packing slips with those actually received.
QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater 6. Use only non-ferrous water piping and fittings for potable water plumbing and connections. Do not use galvanized pipe or fittings. Use of ferrous or galvanized pipe or fittings can cause rust to form.
3. Connect condensate trap inlet parallel to or below the outlet of the heat exchanger. The ability to lift condensate via steam pressure cannot be assured on QuickDraw products due to the possible use of a modulating steam valve (storage units only) or multiple solenoid steam control system. The recommended methods of condensate distribution are: a.
Coupez l'alimentation avant intervention sur l'appareil. 5.1 Thermostat Settings – For Quickdraw Semi-Instantaneous Heaters only The adjustable operating temperature control is located just above the front control panel cover. This control utilizes a temperature sensing thermistor located in the control flange on top of the tank. Follow the safety instructions and warnings included in this manual and with the product, when adjusting the set point of the operating temperature control to deliver the desired water temperature.
QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater 5.4 Electronic Low Water Cut-off (optional) When the water level is above the electrode position in the tank, the reset pushbutton will energize the control (LED will be lit). The control remains energized until the water level recedes below the electrode position (LED will not be lit).
QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater 8. Retighten bolting on all gasketed joints after the heat exchanger has reached temperature to prevent leaks and gasket failures. Retightening should be done uniformly and in a diametrically staggered pattern (see “Maintenance” for proper torque specs).
QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater NOTICE: Since PVI cannot control the use of the appliance, water conditions, or maintenance, the warranty on the appliance does not cover poor performance, structural failure, or leaking due to an excessive accumulation of scale.

QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater 4. The COLLAR assembly, if equipped, is connected to the tank nozzle flange using 9/16” grade 8 bolts. To reinstall the collar assembly use a calibrated torque wrench and, in an alternating star pattern, tighten the bolts in two increments: 95 ft-lbs and 145 ft-lbs (collar assembly threads and nut bearing surfaces must be clean, rust free and NOT lubricated).
QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater 7.6 Recommended Maintenance Schedule 1. Annual Maintenance a. Check all joints and pipe connections for tightness, corrosion or deterioration. b. Check all safety controls and devices including thermostats for proper operation. c. Check safety shut-off valves for operation and tightness.
QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater TROUBLESHOOTING NOTES Problem 1: No hot water even at low flow a. Cause: Steam valve(s) not opening. Solution: Check that electrical coils are energized. If not, trace wiring problem. If so, the valve may be faulty, the steam pressure inadequate to open the valve (<...

QuickDraw Storage and Semi-instantaneous Steam Heater c. Cause: Piping flow restricted. Solution: Calculate the flow velocity and expected friction loss. If excessive, larger inlet and outlet piping are necessary. d. Cause: Main valve malfunction. Solution: Refer to the valve manual for instructions on main valve repair.
