    • Temperature limiting valves are available, see manual.         NOTICE The Techtanium Indirect-fired water heater is deemed to be used in a "commercial setting" if at any time the unit is operated at a temperature over 150ºF. Refer to warranty for additional information. 2 ...
  • Page 3: Product Selection

      Ratings can be improved by increasing Techtanium thermostat setting and using a mixing valve to temper the hot water to the proper temperature. When temperatures greater than 119ºF are required, use a mixing valve at the outlet of the water heater or anti-scald fittings at point of use.
