PVI Industries PV 6314 manual Specification For Domestic Water Heaters, Tank Lining

SPECIFICATION FOR DOMESTIC WATER HEATERS

Power Combustion, Low Nox, Gas-Fired Water Heaters with Polymer-Lined Storage Tanks

Furnish and install MAXIM power combustion gas water heater(s) as manufactured by PVI Industries, LLC of Fort Worth, Texas. Supply quantities and model numbers as indicated on the plumbing schedule.

Gas and Electrical Consumption

The water heater will operate at a minimum of 82% thermal efficiency when tested by an independent laboratory to ANSI Z21.10.3. The water heater will comply with paragraph 7.2.4.4, the thermal efficiency, the standby loss, and all other requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-1999.

Pressure Vessel and Heating Surfaces

The water heater will be a vertical fire tube design that is constructed and stamped in accordance with Section IV, Part HLW of the ASME code. Both the storage and heating sections of the water heater will be National Board Registered for a working pressure of 150 psi and will be pressure tested at 1-1/2 times working pressure. All tank connections will be non-ferrous. The fireside of the heating surfaces will be of boiler-grade steel. The waterside of the heating tubes will be sealed in copper. The heating tubes will be rolled, beaded, and seal welded into the tube sheets. The combustion side of the tube sheet will be insulated by a layer of ceramic fiber that will protect the tube sheet from both thermal stresses and failure that can result from the accumulation of scale and precipitants.

Tank Lining

The lining will:

be applied only after the tank is completely fabricated and all welding is completed. consist of multiple applications of high-temperature fluoropolymer.

be third-party tested to comply with NSF 61 standard.

be continuous and nonporous with no interruptions or discontinuities. require no sacrificial anode rods for protection.

Burner and Venting

Combustion will be provided by a forced-draft power burner with a gas train meeting the following agency requirement for the input specified:

___ UL (standard) ___ FM ___ IRI ___ Other ______________________

Burner and heating section will be certified to operate with NOx emissions not to exceed 30 ppm corrected to 3% O2 (at or above 400,000 Btu) and 55 ppm corrected to 3% O2 or 40 nanograms per joule (below 400,000 Btu). Water heater will be a category I, non-condensing appliance. It will be UL listed for use with non-pressurized, type B venting material.
