Combination Potable Water 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
valve complying with the Standard for
Temperature Actuated Mixing Valves for Hot
Water Distribution Systems, ASSE 1017 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.
50 ft. maximum distance from water
heater to fan coil (developed length) is
required for Massachusetts State.
