should be vertical past any mixing valve or supply line
to the air handler to remove air bubbles from the sys-
tem. Otherwise, these bubbles will be trapped in the air
handler heat exchanger coil, reducing the efficiency.
• Do not connect the water heater to any system or
components previously used with non-potable water
heating appliances when used to supply potable water.
NOTE: Water heaters covered by this manual are suitable
for combination water (potable) heating and space heating,
but not suitable for space heating applications only.
Some jurisdictions may require a backflow preventer
in the incoming cold water line. This may cause the
temperature and pressure relief valve on the water heater
to discharge or weep due to expansion of the heated water.
A diaphragm-type expansion tank suitable for potable
water will normally eliminate this weeping condition. Please
read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the
installation of such tanks.
Also see “Water System Piping” section for additional
instructions on the proper installation and operation of this
water heater.
Solar Installation
If this water heater is used as a solar storage heater
or as a backup for the solar system, the water supply
temperatures to the water heater tank may be in excess of
120°F. A mixing valve or other temperature limiting valve
must be installed in the water supply line to limit the supply
temperature to 120°F. Also, install mixing valves at each
point of use. The unit must be set to Standard Mode (See
Operating the Temperature Control System section).
NOTE: Solar water heating systems can often supply water
with temperatures exceeding 180°F and may result in water
heater malfunction.
