PLUMBING FOR WATER CONNECTIONS LOCATION
The VERSA heater requires water flow and posi- tive pressure to fire and operate properly. It must therefore be installed downstream of the discharge side of the filter pump. A typical installation is plumbed as follows:
1.The inlet side of the filter is plumbed directly to the discharge side of the filter pump;
2.The outlet side of the filter is then plumbed to the inlet of the heater; and
3.The outlet of the heater is plumbed to the return line to the pool or spa. The pump,
filter and heater are thus plumbed in series.
Plumbing from the heater back to the pool must not have any valves or restriction that could prevent flow when the pump is operating. To do so will void the warranty
Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not damage the structure of adjacent area. High temperature 2" plastic pipe (CPVC) may be threaded directly into the header flanges. This is not the same as the Schedule 80 PVC pipe which is also colored gray. PVC may be used immediately after the CPVC adapt- ers

FLOW RATES
MIN GPM 20
MAX GPM 115*
*When flow rates exceed 115 GPM an external auxil- iary bypass valve is required. See external auxiliary bypass valve section for details.
COMPANION FLANGE CONNECTIONS
DO NOT use petroleum base assembly fluids (such as Petroleum Jelly or lubricating oil). If assembly lubrication is required use a silicone base such as Amoral etc.
The inlet/outlet single header flanges are designed for four type of water connections. There are two sets of flange gaskets supplied with your header; one set installed, between flanges and in/out header, and the other set shipped loose in the unit. Use the appropriate gasket design, for all your heater connections.
GASKET DESIGN #1: (Factory installed) Accepts
GASKET DESIGN #2: (Loose In a bag) Accepts 2" copper tube as a slip connection. The flange is threaded for 2" screw in pipe connections. Also used with the 2" CPVC adapters.
