TANK
The one-gallon storage tank is constructed of stainless steel and is designed for a maximum allowable working pressure of 150 psi (300 psi TP).
TANK CONNECTIONS
The heater is supplied with separate ¼” MNPT cold water and hot water connections. A ¾-inch FNPT connection is located on the side of the heater for mounting a combination safety temperature and pressure relief valve. An overflow line should be utilized from the relief valve outlet to a floor drain. See drawing for locations and sizes.
HEATING ELEMENT
The water heater is supplied with either a 1000 watt or a 450-watt electric immersion heating element assembly, rated for 120 volts, and composed of a copper sheathed element that is brazed into a 1” NPT brass plug.
TEMPERATURE HIGH LIMIT SWITCH
As a safety device, a surface mounted high temperature cut-off switch with manual reset, factory set at 190° F, is provided. In the event of an over-temperature condition, the thermostat will disengage the power from the system. If this switch operates, do not attempt to reset. A dangerous situation is indicated and a qualified service person should be called to find the source before the unit is operated again.
