INSTALLATION DO’S AND DON’TS
INSTALLATION DON’TS
Do Not
use with piping that has been treated with chromates, boiler seal or other
chemicals.
Do Not
add boiler treatment or any chemicals to equipment and related piping, since the
piping contains potable water for Domestic Use.
Do Not
use with ferrous piping. The system should be installed with new piping that is
suitable for potable water, such as copper. DO Not use with PVC Piping.
Do Not
use valves that may cause excessive restriction to water flow. Use Full Flow Ball
or Gate Valves Only.
Do Not
use unit with any water heater not having a properly sized and installed
Temperature and Pressure (T&P) Relief Valve. Some water heaters include factory-
installed valves. Others must be field-installed. Follow the instructions of the water
heater manufacturer and local codes when installing the T&P valve.
Do Not
alter the water heater controls, dip tube, relief valve fitting, etc.
Do Not
install unit or connecting piping in any manner except as shown in this
instruction manual.
Do Not
install a DX cooling Coil in close proximity to the Hot Water Coil. A DX
cooling coil should be a minimum 12 inches away from the Hot Water Coil and a freeze
stat must be installed on the DX coil to prevent freezing of the DX Coil which in turn
may freeze the Hot Water Coil and cause damage or water escape.
Use
EXTREME CAUTION
when fastening duct work to coil area. Screws should be
no longer that 3/8” and should be fastened into the
flange rather than the face of the
unit. This will reduce the risk of puncturing the copper tubing on the coil.
