ALL INSTALLATIONS AND OPERATIONS MUST FOLLOW FEDERAL, PROVINCIAL, STATE, AND LOCAL CODES FOR
WIRING, PLUMBING, INSTALLING CHIMNEY. ALL WORK MUST BE PERFORMED BY QUALIFIED PERSONAL ONLY.
Making Water and Electrical Connections at the Stove
• After the stove has been placed on the concrete or pads, remove the panel at the back of the stove.
• The return (cold water) pipe must be connected to the fitting at the upper position and the supply (hot water) at
the fitting toward the bottom of the stove. If multi-pole locations are to be heated, tees must be added on both
the supply (hot) and return (cold). It is necessary to use brass fittings between the stainless and other metals.
• The stove has been pre-wired at the factory; therefore it is only necessary to connect the common from the wire
from the trench to the common from the stove, neutral to neutral, ground to ground. Ensure that the connections
are water tight.
• Return the panel to the back of the stove.
Piping Inside the Building
It is recommended that piping used is able to withstand 100 PSI at 180 F, and is at least 1” (inch) in diameter.
1 1/4 “ (Inch) piping is recommended for larger systems.
• For each building, a circulation pump is needed. The pump can be located on the supply side (hot water).
• Before each pump, a filtering device must be installed. This filter will minimize the contaminants in the water and
maximize the life of the circulation pump.
• If the central heating system in the building is a forced air furnace, it is important to select the appropriate water
to air exchanger. Contact your heating contractor for proper size. The coil is to be installed in the furnace plenum.
If there is an air conditioning evaporator coil in the plenum, install the water to air coil after the a/c coil.
• If the central heating system is a hot water boiler system, a water to water heat exchanger is needed. The water
from an open system will contaminate the closed system if the waters are mixed together.
• It is advisable to install ball valves, isolation flanges, etc. to make the removal and the replacement components
easier.
Wiring Inside the Building
• The electrical wiring must be done by an experienced HVAC technician to ensure the system will operate
as desired and is safe.
• It is recommended that the circulation pump or pumps run continuously.
• The existing forced air circulation blower needs to be wired through the circuit board to a 24 volt wall thermostat
which is dedicated for this purpose. The other wall thermostat which is for the forced air (Oil, LP, NG or Electric)
is left intact. The new 24 volt wall thermostat will cause the circulation blower to run without the burners
coming on. An experienced HVAC technician needs to perform the wiring.
• The electrical for a boiler system is more complicated because the existing boiler wall thermostat is used but the
burners on the (Oil, LP, NG or Electric) boiler are not to operate when the water from the water stove is to provide
heat. It is necessary to have an experienced HVAC technician wire this configuration.
• If air conditioning is used you must add a relay DPDT to prevent the condenser from turning on when the
fan is energized
Electrical Requirements
• Electrical Rating: 120 AV Volts, 6 AMPS, 60 Hz. Wire must be rated and approved for direct burial if it is to be buried
in the same trench as the water lines. Boiler power connection box is located at rear of boiler inside back cover.
Minimum supply 15 AMPS. Maximum device 15 AMPS.
USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY.
