SECTION IV: 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.

NOTICE

If the EverHot water heater is operated under hard water conditions without a water conditioner, the diagnostic code “LC” may flash on the water heater’s control. This code means the heat exchanger coil is beginning to accumulate mineral deposits and MUST be flushed (see Section VIII, “Flushing Procedure for Mineral 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 re- occurring.

CAUTION

Failure to flush the water heater when “LC” is flashing will cause damage to the heat exchanger. Damage caused by mineral 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 plumbing system to the house. All soldering materials and piping must be compatible with

TGHE-160E-N(X), TGHE-199E-N(X) specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation in the water heating industry. Among its extensive range of products, the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) models stand out for their advanced technology and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial applications.

The TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are high-efficiency, gas-fired water heaters designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable energy solutions without compromising on performance. Both models feature a powerful, energy-efficient design that significantly reduces energy consumption while providing a consistent supply of hot water.

One of the main features of these models is their use of advanced technology in water heating. The units are equipped with a high-efficiency burner and an optimized heat exchanger that maximizes the transfer of energy, ensuring rapid heating and minimal standby loss. This efficiency is further enhanced by their ability to modulate gas flow, allowing the heater to adjust its operation based on actual demand, rather than running at full capacity at all times.

Safety is a priority in the design of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X). Both models are equipped with an electronic ignition system, which eliminates the need for a continuous pilot light, reducing gas consumption and enhancing safety. Furthermore, they include advanced venting options, such as concentric or PVC venting, providing installation flexibility while adhering to stringent building codes.

Moreover, these water heaters are built to last, featuring a durable tank design with a powder-coated, steel construction and a patented Vitraglas® lining. This lining protects against corrosion and extends the life of the tank, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

Installation and maintenance of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are straightforward, thanks to their user-friendly design. They come with easily accessible components, making service and repairs less time-consuming and more cost-effective.

In summary, the Bradford-White TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) gas-fired water heaters exemplify the best in modern water heating technology. Their energy efficiency, safety features, and durable construction make them a top choice for those seeking dependable hot water solutions in residential and commercial settings. With a commitment to innovation and quality, Bradford-White continues to lead the way in delivering superior water heating products.
