THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS ARE FOR INSTALLATION OF: 

GAS WATER HEATERS 

SUITABLE FOR WATER (POTABLE) HEATING AND SPACE 

HEATING 

1.  All piping components connected to this water heater for space heating 

applications must be suitable for use with potable water.  In 
Massachusetts, space heating piping length 

must not

 exceed 50 feet. 

2.  Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, 

must not 

be 

introduced into potable water used for space heating. 

3.  This water heater 

must not

 be connected to an existing heating system 

or component(s) previously used with a non-potable water  heating 
appliance. 

4.  When the system requires water for space heating at temperatures higher 

than required for other means, such as an ASSE approved mixing valve 
must be installed to temper the water for those uses in order to reduce the 
scald hazard potential. 

 
Please refer to figure 6 and figure 7 for suggested piping arrangements.
