Combination Potable and Space Heating Application
Tee fitting must be installed as shown. This
ensures that any air in the water lines will be
purged through the domestic water faucets and
showers.
DANGER: When this system requires
water for space heating at elevated
temperatures (above 125°F [52°C.]), a mixing
or tempering valve must be installed in the
hot water supply line to the house in order to
reduce the scald hazard potential.
DANGER: Any piping or components used
in the installation of this water heater in a
combination potable and space heating
application must be suitable for use with
drinking water.
NOTICE: Suitable for (potable) water
heating and space heating applications. DO
NOT use for space heating application only.
DANGER: If this water heater is installed
in an application intended to supply domestic
hot water needs and hot water for space
heating purposes, do not connect the heater
to an existing heating unit or components of
a heating system that have previously been
used with a non drinking water system. Toxic
chemicals such as those used for boiler
treatment may be present and will
contaminate the drinking water supply
causing possible health risks. Never
introduce toxic chemicals, such as those used
for boiler treatment, into this system.
NOTICE: 50' - 0" maximum
distance from water heater to fan coil
(developed length) is required for
Massachusetts State.
