Page 12: Condensate Drain, Trap & Disposal
TWO WATER HEATERS WITH REVERSE RETURN PIPING CONDENSATE DRAIN, TRAP & DISPOSAL The TRICON water heater is designed to produce significant amounts of condensate because of its high efficiency. Condensate occurs naturally when water vapor in combustion gases is cooled below the dew point. A 3/4” NPT drain connections is provided. -
Page 13: Condensate Neutralization System (Optional)
Condensate Piping and Trap with Optional Condensate Neutralizer Condensate Neutralization System (optional) Although only slightly acidic (3-5 PH), condensate can be routed through an optional Condensate Neutralization System (see image below) to become pH neutral allowing for disposal into any drain or sewer system without concern for corrosion. -
Page 14: Gas Supply And Piping
GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING Verify that the type of gas specified on rating plate is supplied to the unit. This unit is orificed for operation up to 2000 feet altitude. Appliance Btuh output derates 4% per 1000 feet elevation above sea level. Consult Factory for installations above 2000 feet elevation. -

Page 18: Venting
VENTING Venting the TRICON: TRICON models are designed for operation only with stainless steel venting listed by UL, ULC, ETL or CSA for Category IV, positive pressure, gas appliance venting. Follow the vent manufacturer’s instructions for installation, sealing, supporting and terminating their vent system. Do not use plastic venting of any type. Do not use a barometric damper with the TRICON positive pressure vent. -
Page 19: Vertical Or Horizontal Vent Termination
Vertical or Horizontal Vent Termination: 1. The vent terminal must have a minimum clearance of 4 feet (1.22 m) horizontally from, and in no case be located above or below, unless a 4 foot (1.22 m) horizontal distance is maintained from electric meters, gas meters, regulators and relief equipment. -
Page 20: Operating And Safety Controls
OPERATING AND SAFETY CONTROLS WARNING: Turn off all electrical service to the appliance when accessing the limit or other controls located inside the control cabinet. This cabinet contains High Voltage wiring and terminals. If the electrical service is not turned off and these terminals are touched, a dangerous shock causing personal injury or loss of life could occur. -
Page 21: Temptrac Electronic Controller Panel
TEMPTRAC™ ELECTRONIC CONTROLLER PANEL 11.1 Principle Of Operation The water heater operates to satisfy the setpoint of the TempTrac digital control whose sensor is located near the top of the water heater tank. Demand (flow) will typically create a drop in temperature, thus activating the water heater to add heat to the stored water. -

12.2 The Following Describes The Functions Of Each Of These Terminals And The Factory-Installed Options Required To Activate The Terminals: Note: Terminal P1-P2 are functional only when the water heater is equipped with the factory installed options required to activate the terminals. Terminals R1-R2, A1-A2, C1-C2 and T1-T2 are standard pre-wired functions on all models. - Page 25 4. Proof of Air Pressure Switch - The control will look for a signal from the airflow-proving switch, indicating that the blower is operating: a. When the airflow generated by the blower is sufficient to cause the differential air switch to close, the 15 - second pre-purge delay will start.

Page 26: Initial Startup
INITIAL STARTUP 14.1 Initial Startup Requirements Installation should be complete prior to performing initial startup; and the startup must be complete prior to placing the water heater into service. Starting the water heater without proper piping, combustion air, venting or electrical systems can be dangerous and may void the product warranty. - Page 27 b. Attach a manometer to measure the gas pressure at the manual gas shutoff valve located just upstream of the gas train. Adjust gas train inlet pressure to the specified value (e.g. 14" W.C.), and tightly close the gas train manual shutoff valve closest to the burner. c.
- Page 28 19. When the blower motor starts, the flame control will check for a positive air flow. If the air switch or blocked filter switch is not made the blower will stay on for a period of time then lockout. To adjust the air-proving switch, turn the adjustment screw counter-clockwise until the air proving light comes on, then turn the screw one turn counter-clockwise.
