FULTON PDWH1000, Installation, Operation And Maintanance Manual

Page: 10 / 50

Introduction
The Fulton Pulse water heater is an
automatic gas fired, direct vent water
heater. This water heater utilizes the pulse
combustion principle. It requires no
conventional burner controls, no pilot and
no flue or chimney. The combustion
components are of integral design with the
heat exchanger. For combustion, the water
heater uses 100% outside air supplied
through schedule 40 PVC pipe.
The products of combustion are vented
outdoors through non-corrosive venting
materials which will withstand 480°F
(249°C) temperatures. These pipes can be
routed either through a roof or through the
side wall of a building. Each water heater
is built to ASME and CSD-1 Codes,
hydrostatically tested, test fired, and
shipped as a complete packaged unit.
Gas, water, and electrical connections are
similar to conventional water heaters.
All installations must be in accordance with
the American National Standard “National
Fuel Gas Code,” latest edition, and with
the requirements of local utilities or other
authorities having jurisdiction. Such
applicable requirements take precedence
over the general instructions herein.
Since an external electrical source is
utilized, the water heater, when installed,
must be electrically grounded in
accordance with the National eectrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70-latest edition.
In some cases the approval authority may
insist that the installation conform to the
American Society of Mechanical Engineers
ASME safety standard for controls and
safety devices for automatically fired water
heaters, or CSD-1.
In Canada, gas installations must be in
accordance with the current CAN/CGA
B149.1 and .2 and/or local codes.
Electrical installations must be installed in
accordance with the current CSA C22.1
Canadian Electrical Code and/or local
codes.
