Combination Potable Water and Space Heating Application

Tee fitting must be installed as shown. 

This ensures that any air in the water lines 

will be purged through the domestic water 

faucets and showers.

DANGER: When this system 

requires water for space heating at 

elevated temperatures (above 125°F 

[52°C.]), a mixing or tempering valve 

must be installed in the hot water 

supply line to the house in order to 

reduce the scald hazard potential.

DANGER: Any piping or components 

used in the installation of this water 

heater in a combination potable and 

space heating application must be 

suitable for use with drinking water.

DANGER

:

 If this water heater is 

installed in an application intended to 

supply domestic hot water needs and 

hot water for space heating purposes, 

do not connect the heater to an existing 

heating unit or components of a heating 

system that have previously been used 

with a non drinking water system. Toxic 

chemicals such as those used for boiler 

treatment may be present and will 

contaminate the drinking water supply 

causing possible health risks. Never  

introduce toxic chemicals, such as those 

used for boiler treatment, into this 

system.

Notice:

  50' - 0" maximum distance from 

water heater to fan coil (developed length) 

is required for Massachusetts State.
