5.Pay attention to the desired flow direction when installing the circulator pump. If the pump does not have a check valve embedded install one to ensure the desired flow direction is maintained during system oper- ation.
6.Install a mixing valve with the hot port going to the top tank fitting. Connect the domestic hot water supply line to the mixing port of the mixing valve. Connect the cold port of the mixing valve to the cold water supply line and place a
7.A check valve may be installed in the cold water line before the connecting tee.
NOTE: The check valve can often be noisy and cause reduced supply pressures. For multiple storage tank sys- tems, check valves must be installed to prevent the circula- tor pump from pumping hot water into another tank and overheating it.
8.The use of a pressure regulator is optional, but recom- mended when the cold supply pressure is over 80 psi. Reducing the inlet pressure to
9.The water utility supply meter may contain a check valve,
10.Some jurisdictions require a Vacuum Relief Valve to be installed. Such a valve allows air to enter the piping sys- tem thus preventing vacuum conditions that could siphon water from the system. Check local code requirements.

Figure 4 Wiring Diagram
4.The thermostat is rated for a maximum inductive current of 7 FLA at 120 VAC. Do not exceed this rating for the circuit.
5.Do not install or connect electrical heating elements to this tank.
Filling
NOTE: When filling, avoid water leakage. Do not allow the insulation of the tank to get wet as water can cause electri- cal malfunction or reduce the effectiveness of the insulation.
1.To insure complete filling of the tank, allow air to exit by opening a hot water faucet that is served by the tank and is some distance away from the heater.
2.Ensure the storage tank drain valve is closed.
3.Open the cold water supply valve and fill the tank and piping system with water. When an uninterrupted stream of water, without apparent air bubbles, flows from the open hot water faucet, the system is full.
4.Close the open hot water faucet. Check the system for leaks, repair as necessary and retest.
5.Connect a hose to the drain valve and route to a suit- able drain. Open the drain valve and let water run to flush out any foreign matter that may have entered the system. Once flushed, close the drain valve and dis- connect hose.
Electrical Wiring
Electrical wiring must be in accordance with local codes or, in the absence of such codes, with the “Canadian Electrical Code, Part I, (C22.1)” or the “National Electrical Code, (NFPA 70)” as applicable.
1.Supply 110/120 volts, 60Hz power, to the junction box located at the top of the tank.
2.Connect the circulator pump in series with the thermo- stat as shown in Figure 4.
3.A ground wire must be supplied from the ground con- nection at the service panel to the ground screw at the junction box.
IV) OPERATION
1.Follow boiler or instantaneous water heater installation and operating instructions.
2.Fill the tank (see “Filling” section).
3.The boiler or instantaneous water heater should be set to provide at least 11°C (20°F) higher water temperature than the temperature setting of the storage tank.
4.Turn power on, check for proper operation of boiler or instantaneous water heater and storage tank.
