A.O. Smith DB/DW-720-1810 warranty Pressure Drop

Page 4

WARNING

Your Dura-Max boiler is not designed to operate with a boiler inlet water temperature of less than 100°F (38°C). Colder inlet water temperatures will result in significant condensation developing on the heat exchanger. This situation can cause a corrosive environment for the heat exchanger, burners and venting resulting in premature damage, which could result in serious personal injury or death.

For systems that use large volumes of cold water or system utilizing heavy water draws (Cer-Temp), condensation can be prevented by using a by-pass loop. See page 16.
