B. PERFORMANCE AND SIZING GUIDELINES
Determine the amount of domestic hot water needed, then use the chart below to optimize water heater against
boiler sizing.
Table 1
NOTE: Above chart is based on boiler size conforming to the minimum BTU/H required to achieve first hour
ratings. The mass of the boiler will affect recovery time. More boiler mass equals longer recovery time.
C. LOCATING THE WATER HEATER
This water heater is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT
covered by warranty.
Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping system as possible. Also, locate the water
heater and domestic water piping where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All piping should be
insulated. Additionally, place the water heater so that the drain, controls, and inlets/outlets are easily accessible.
This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.
Locate the water heater where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result
in damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. The water heater should be located near a floor
drain, or installed in a drain pan. HTP WILL NOT be held liable for leakage damages.

If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown, it might not be possible to service the heater without
removing it from the space.
