Instructions for Conversion of Commercial Electric Models

Concluding Steps

The water heater rating plate will need to be modified because the conversion altered the electrical characteristics of the water heater. Refer to Figure 5 which displays a typical commercial electric rating plate that is to be altered. This rating plate is placed on every Commercial Electric water heater produced by Bradford White Corporation. Locate this rating plate on the water heater you have just converted.

Also locate the adhesive backed label (see Figure 6) that is provided inside the kit. The label will be marked with the new electrical data that is accurate for the conversion just executed. The kit will contain two labels for this voltage and KW, (1) for three phase and (1) for single phase. Select the correct label for the electrical phase in this conversion.

Remove the adhesive peel strip and place this label onto the rating plate in such a manner that the new electrical data will appear in place of the data originally marked. Refer to

Figure 7 to the right that displays the rating plate revision.

Replace all insulation pieces and element covers that were removed. Replace the electrical enclosure door. Heater identification information that was placed on the water heater carton must also be altered. This can be done by making a bold face inscription on the carton with a large size black ink marker. Write the new electrical data in place of the original data.
