SECTION V: WATER CONNECTIONS

WARNING

Failure to install and maintain a new, listed pressure relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claim, which might result from excessive temperature and pressures.

Keep clear of the pressure relief valve discharge line outlet. The discharge may be hot enough to cause scald injury. The water is under pressure and may splash.

WARNING

DO NOT reverse the inlet and outlet (cold and hot water) connections on the water heater. This may cause a hazardous operating condition or the water heater may be inoperable

WATER QUALITY

The EVERHOT→ water heater must have the water quality within the following limits for long life and reliable operation. The water supply should be tested to make sure the quality is within the specified limits. If there is a problem with the water quality, contact your local water conditioning company for equipment to condition the water supply to this appliance.

NOTICE

Operating this water heater with water conditions outside the specified limits will void the warranty.

Lime Condition Warning Signal:

If the EVERHOT→ water heater is operated under hard water conditions without a water conditioner, the error code “LC” may flash on the remote temperature display. This code means the heat exchanger coil is beginning to accumulate scale deposits and MUST be flushed (see Section X, “Flushing Procedure for Lime Scale Removal…”). Contact your installer for a qualified service technician to flush the heat exchanger. A water conditioner may be needed to prevent this condition from reoccurring.

NOTICE

Failure to flush the appliance when “LC” is flashing will cause damage to the heat exchanger. Damage caused by lime or scale build up is not covered by the water heater warranty.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTIONS

1.BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION, CLOSE THE MAIN WATER SUPPLY VALVE. After shutting off the main water supply, open a faucet to relieve the water line pressure to prevent any water from leaking out of the pipes while making the water connections to the water heater. The COLD water inlet and HOT water outlet are identified on the bottom casing of the water heater. Make the proper plumbing connections between the water heater and the

IGI-180C, IGI-180R specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is a well-known name in the water heating industry, offering a range of reliable and efficient products. Among its noteworthy offerings are the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters. These models exemplify the company's commitment to quality and innovation, featuring robust designs and cutting-edge technologies.

The IGI-180R and IGI-180C units are designed to provide a consistent supply of hot water for residential and commercial applications. Both models have a storage capacity of 180 gallons, making them ideal for settings that require large volumes of hot water, such as restaurants, schools, and larger households. Their large tanks ensure minimal wait times and a reliable hot water supply, even during peak usage periods.

One of the key features of the IGI series is their indirect heating capability. Instead of relying on electric elements or gas burners, these heaters use a separate boiler or heating system to provide the necessary heat. This allows for more efficient operation, as the water is heated more evenly and effectively. The models integrate seamlessly with existing boiler systems, making them an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade or expand their hot water capabilities without extensive modifications.

Both the IGI-180R and IGI-180C incorporate advanced insulation technology, minimizing heat loss and improving energy efficiency. The high-density foam insulation encases the tank, keeping the water hot for longer periods and reducing energy costs associated with reheating. This insulation also contributes to a longer lifespan for the unit, as it reduces the wear and tear on the heating systems.

Another pivotal characteristic of these units is their durable construction. Bradford-White utilizes high-quality materials and rigorous manufacturing standards, ensuring that the IGI models withstand the test of time. The tanks are constructed from heavy-duty steel with a glass lining that protects against corrosion and sediment buildup, enhancing the longevity and performance of the water heater.

Lastly, both models come equipped with a range of safety features, including an integrated Pressure Relief Valve and a temperature control system. These elements safeguard against overheating and pressure issues, ensuring safe operation.

In conclusion, the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters by Bradford-White Corporation stand out for their efficient, reliable, and durable design. With advanced heating technology, excellent insulation, and robust safety features, they are a smart investment for any hot water demand scenario.
