Installation instructions

Connecting the pressure relief valve (PRV)

A listed pressure relief valve supplied with the heater must be installed at the time of installation. No valve is to be placed between the PRV and the heater. No reducing coupling or other restriction may be installed in the discharge line. The discharge line must be a minimum of 4” above a drain and installed such that it allows complete drainage of both the PRV and the line. The discharge line must be placed where it will not cause any damage.

The location of the PRV must be readily accessible for servicing or replacement, and be mounted as close to the water heater as possible. See Fig. 29. To install the PRV, a suitable fitting connected to an extension on a “T” fitting can be sweated to the hot water line.

Support all piping.

The following drawing is provided to outline one possible recirculation design using the water heater in conjunction with an Ariston mini tank water heater. Recirculation directly through the tankless water heater not allowed. This schematic is for illustration only and must not be used for actual installation without appropriate engineering and technical advice from a properly licensed professional in the locality where the installation is made.

The use of a small electric mini-tank water heater (4-6 gallon size) should be used for this application and designed so the pump will circulate the water through the mini-tank and the building's hot water return loop only. Timed or thermostatically controlled operation of the pump is commonly done. Contact Bosch Water Heating if further information is needed.
