IMPORTANT STEPS AND DECISIONS REQUIRED BEFORE INSTALLATION
❑THIS PRODUCT MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED BY A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL PLUMBER, ELECTRICIAN, AS APPLICABLE. IN ADDITION TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL, FOLLOW ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL AND STATE CODES INCLUDING MA CMR 248 OR IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH CODES, THE CURRENT EDITIONS OF THE NATIONAL PLUMBING CODE AND THE NATIONAL ELECTRIC CODE.
❑DRIP PAN AND DRAIN: This appliance should not be installed in an area where leakage of the tank or connections can result in damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower floors of the structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, a suitable drain pan, adequately drained and kept clear, must be installed under the appliance.
❑CAUTION: Determine whether your water is corrosive or acidic, and that there are no suspended solids, toxic or other substances or abnormally high chlorine levels in the water that could damage or affect the water heater or the rest of your plumbing system.
USE GLYCOL ONLY WITH
Do not connect the water heater domestic supply with baseboard or other space heating units or elements. Any contaminants in the baseboard units will contaminate the potable water in the water heater and also adversely affect its performance.
❑Wiring Options. Select either a
Two options are available when wiring the controls of the water heater in the space heating system (boiler and distribution elements).

NOTICE: In this
2.Priority System - Under this wiring option the water heater will be supplied before space heating.
In limited circumstances, space heating can be lost in the home in this priority mode. Any demand for space heating is postponed until the water heater has reached its set temperature. This delay in supplying the space heating zones is usually not noticed by the inhabitants of the living spaces. However, in the event of certain malfunctions such as circulator or thermostat failure, space heating could be delayed indefinitely. If undetected and uncorrected, freezing damage to piping could result.
❑Select Circulator versus Zone Valve
The flow of hot boiler water to the water heater can be controlled with either a motorized zone valve or a circulator.
1.Separate circulator. The recommended way to provide adequate flow through the water heater heat exchanger is to use a separate dedicated circulator. This option may be used even though the heating system utilizes zone valves.
2.Zone valve If a zone valve is to be used, a flow rate of 3 to 5 gpm with all zones in use is required. A

❑Installation of a vacuum breaker is required to prevent damage to the water heater when drained. There must be no valves installed between the vacuum breaker and water heater.
