E. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE
An external pressure relief valve must be installed on this appliance. When installing, observe the following guidelines. Failure to
comply with these guidelines can result in substantial property damage, personal injury, or death.
This appliance is provided with a CH pressure relief valve that complies with the ANSI/ASME Appliance and Pressure Vessel Code,
Section IV (Heating Appliances). The included 30 psi CH Pressure Relief Valve must be installed on the CH supply line to ensure a
compliant installation and safe operation. Westinghouse
has supplied a ¾” X 1” bushing to aid installation of the CH Pressure Relief
Valve. The valve is meant to be field installed.
This appliance has a high-temperature shut-
off switch built in as a standard safety feature. Therefore, a “pressure only” relief valve is
required. DO NOT operate this appliance before the supplied pressure relief valve is installed with sufficient relieving capacity in
accordance with the ASME rating plate on the appliance.
