BEFORE INSTALLATION

Raypak strongly recommends that this manual be re-

viewed thoroughly before installing your MVB heater.

Please review the General Safety information before

installing the heater. Factory warranty does not apply

to heaters that have been improperly installed or oper-

ated.  (Refer  to  the  warranty  at  the  back  of  this

manual.)  Installation  and  service  must  be  performed

by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.

If, after reviewing this manual, you still have questions

which  this  manual  does  not  answer,  please  contact

your local Raypak representative or visit our website at

www.raypak.com.

Thank you for purchasing a Raypak product. We hope

you will be satisfied with the high quality and durability

of our equipment.

Product Receipt

On receipt of your heater it is suggested that you visu-

ally check for external damage to the shipping crate. If

the crate is damaged, make a note to that effect on the

Bill  of  Lading  when  signing  for  the  shipment.  Next,

remove  the  heater  from  the  shipping  packaging.

Report any damage to the carrier immediately.

On  occasion,  items  are  shipped  loose.  Be  sure  that

you receive the correct number of packages as indi-

cated on the Bill of Lading.

Claims for shortages and damages must be filed with

the carrier by consignee. Permission to return goods

must  be  received  from  the  factory  prior  to  shipping.

Goods  returned  to  the  factory  without  an  authorized

Returned Goods Receipt number will not be accepted.

All returned goods are subject to a restocking charge.

When ordering parts, you must specify the model and

serial number of the heater. When ordering under war-

ranty  conditions,  you  must  also  specify  the  date  of

installation.

Purchased  parts  are  subject  to  replacement  only

under  the  manufacturer’s  warranty.  Debits  for  defec-

tive replacement parts will not be accepted. Parts will

be replaced in kind only per Raypak’s standard war-

ranties.

Model Identification

The  model  identification  number  and  heater  serial

number are found on the heater rating plate located on

the upper rear jacket panel of the heater. The model

number  will  have  the  form  H7-0504A  or  similar

depending on the heater size and configuration. The

letter(s)  in  the  first  group  of  characters  identifies  the

application  (H  =  Hydronic  Heating,  WH  =  Domestic

Hot Water (DHW), and P = Pool heating). The number

which follows identifies the firing mode (7 = electronic

modulation). The second group of characters identifies

the size of the heater (the four numbers representing

the  approximate  MBTUH  input),  and,  where  applica-

ble, a letter, indicating the manufacturing series. 

Ratings and Certifications

SCAQMD Rule 1146.2

Low-lead content (<.25%) CSA-certified

All Raypak heaters are National Board Approved, and

design-certified and tested by the Canadian Standards

Association  (CSA)  for  the  U.S.  and  Canada.  Each

heater is constructed in accordance with Section IV of

the  American  Society  of  Mechanical  Engineers

(ASME) Heater Pressure Vessel Code and bears the

ASME stamp. This heater also complies with the latest

edition of the ASHRAE 90.1 Standard.

Installations at Elevation

Rated inputs are suitable for up to 2,000 ft elevation

without de-rating. Consult your local representative or

the  factory  for  installations  at  altitudes  over  2,000  ft

above sea level. No hardware changes are required to

the  heaters  for  installations  up  to  10,000  ft  (adjust-

ments may be required).

WARNING:

Altering  any  Raypak  pressure  vessel

by  installing  replacement  heat  exchangers,  tube

bundle  headers,  or  any  ASME  parts  not

manufactured  and/or  approved  by  Raypak  will

instantly  void  the  ASME  and  CSA  ratings  of  the

vessel.  Altering  the  ASME  or  CSA  ratings  of  the

vessel  also  violates  national,  state,  and  local

approval codes.
