7.5 Potable Water Plumbing Installation
The Potable water connections are located on top of the Hurricane
®
Chinook. The cold water supply and hot water outlet are connected
directly to the corresponding ½” PEX fittings on top of the heater.
These connections are crimped using appropriate pex clamps
The maximum potable water supply pressure to the heater is 150
PSI (10 bar). The Hot water Outlet temperature is regulated by an
internal mixing valve factory set at 120F (49°C). If needed this
valve can be adjusted between a range of 75F (24°C) to a
maximum of 145F (63°C).
See Figure 7-4
All fittings, hose, tubing and sealant used in the potable water
system must be food safe and approved for use with potable water
and rated for the potable water system pressure.
