1. SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
It takes only 5 seconds of skin contact with 140°F water to cause a second degree burn!
You must protect against high water temperatures in all lavatories, tubs, showers and
other points of hot water contact.
Accidental scalding from hot water is a greater risk in some types of installations. Some
examples are:
•
Homes For The Mentally Handicapped
•
Homes For The Physically Handicapped
•
Hospitals And Nursing Homes
•
Elder Care Facilities And Rest Homes
•
Orphanages And Child Care Facilities
•
Potable hot water should be tempered to no more than 110°F when used for
bathing or other personal uses in any installation where response to contact with
hot water may be slower or where the danger of hot water contact is greater.
I M P O R T A N T !
Always follow local code requirements and the authorities having jurisdiction.
Thermostatically controlled mixing valves must be used in the design of the potable hot water
system.
Good engineering practice mandates thermostatically controlled mixing valves set at 120°f or
less to keep the delivered water temperature below scalding temperatures.
If the information in this manual is not followed exactly, a fire, explosion or exposure to
hazardous materials may result, causing property damage, personal injury or death.

Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, or service agency who must
read and follow the supplied instructions before installing, servicing or removing the unit.
Refer to the information in this manual. Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or
maintenance can cause property damage, personal injury, exposure to hazardous materials or
death. Do not use matches, candles, flames, or other sources of ignition to check for gas leaks.
Fluids under pressure may cause injury to personnel or damage to equipment when released.
Be sure to shut off all incoming and outgoing water shutoff valves and carefully decrease all
trapped pressures to zero before performing maintenance.
The electrical connection cover must be installed at all times, except during maintenance.
A disconnect switch must be installed at the electrical service connection per local codes.
