NOTE:
Table capacity is based on schedule 40 black
iron pipe. For capacity using other material, consult
local codes.
Bronze Headers (ASME Models)
Heater must be located so that any water leaks will not
damage the structure of adjacent area. Before attaching
the ProTek Shield Adapter to the inlet connection and the
2-inch unions, make sure the O-rings are properly seated
in the grooves. Use Aqualube or equivalent non-petroleum-
based lubricant on the O-ring.
Hand tighten the unions
.
Glue PVC piping directly to the unions.

ProTek Shield Assembly
(Not available until end of Q3 2020)
This heater is equipped with a ProTek Shield Assembly
(located under the inlet connection on polymer headers
and in the ProTek Shield Adapter assembly shipped loose
in the accessory carton for field installation on bronze
ASME headers.
This component provides protection to the heat exchanger
against galvanic corrosion, when properly bonded to the
heat exchanger. It should be replaced when the weight of
the ProTek Shield is reduced to about 40% of the original
weight (1.46 #).

CAUTION:
STOP the pool pump before attempting to
remove ProTek Shield Assy. Failure to do so may result
in damage to ProTek Shield Assy, loss of pool water, or
personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use tools to remove (twist) the
ProTek Shield Assy or the wing nut on the stud of the
ProTek Shield Assy. Non-warrantable damage may
occur.
Follow the steps below to replace the ProTek Shield Assy:
1. Shut off the pool pump and bleed pressure from the
system.
2. Close isolation valves to minimize pool/spa water
loss.
3. Remove wing nut from bottom stud on ProTek Shield
Assy.
4.
Remove bonding wire ring terminal from stud.
5. Rotate ProTek Shield Assy clockwise (by hand) to
unscrew it from the assembly.
6.
Inspect/replace as necessary and reverse above
procedure to reinstall. Hand tighten only! Do not use
tools.
NOTE:
Make sure the O-ring is properly seated in the
O-ring groove before installation.
