Fault = “STACK LIMIT EXCEEDED”
A flue gas error occurs when the stack temperature has exceeded the maximum limit allowed by the vent material. This is an automatic
reset error, when the stack temperature drops 20
o
F below the limit allowed the water heater is allowed to restart and an ignition
attempt is made if the call for heat is not yet satisfied. In the event that a setpoint greater than 150
o
F is selected and PVC venting is
used the setpoint must be reduced to below 150
o
F to avoid nuisance flame failures. If a setpoint greater than 150
o
F is required,
venting with CPVC, AL29-4C, 316LL or PPE is strongly advised.
The stack temperature is between 15-30
o
F above the incoming (return) water temperature to the appliance.
