INSTALLER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Water Piping Notes

1)A manual water control valve must be placed upon the water inlet connection to the Continuum 2424WC before it is connected to the water line. Unions may be used on both the hot/cold water supply lines, for the future servicing or disconnection of the unit.

2)All soldering materials and piping must be compatible with potable water.

3)Purge the water line to remove from it all debris and air. Debris will damage the Continuum 2424WC.

4)There is a wire mesh strainer on the Continuum 2424WC's inlet to discourage the introduction of debris to the unit. It will need to be cleaned periodically.

DO NOT operate unit without filter in place.

WARNING: DO NOT reverse the inlet and outlet (cold and hot water) connections on the unit. This would cause the Continuum 2424WCto operate dangerously or not at all.

INSTALLER’S INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Pressure Relief Valve

1)ANSI code calls for the addition of an approved pressure relief valve to all water heating systems.

2)The pressure relief valve must meet the following criteria: The relief valve must comply with the standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems ANSI Z21. 22. This relief valve must be rated at 150 PSI of pressure.

3)The relief valve should be added to the hot water outlet line per manufacturer's instructions. DO NOT place any other type valve or shut off device between the relief valve and the hot water heater.

4)The discharge from the pressure relief valve should be piped to the ground or into a drain system to prevent exposure or possible burn hazards to humans or other plant or animal life. Water discharged from the relief valve could cause severe burns instantly, scalds and/or death.

5)Do not plug the relief valve and do not install any reducing fittings or other restric- tions in the relief line. The relief line should allow for complete drainage of the valve and the line.

6)Pressure relief valve must be manually operated once a year to check for correct operation.

7)Should overheating occur or the gas supply fail to shut off, turn off the manual gas valve on the Continuum 2424WC.
