UGT Series Manual 

 

Limited Warranty for Performance Series UGTC-152, UGTC-199 

 

GENERAL 

The  manufacturer  warrants  that,  subject  to  verification  of  a  warranty  claim  within  the  warranty  period  as  de-
scribed below, it will take the necessary corrective action to either repair or replace a water heater or compo-
nent part which is determined to be defective in material or workmanship subject to the terms and conditions 
outlined in this document. Further, any replacement water heater or component part supplied under warranty 
will carry only the unexpired portion of the original water heater’s warranty. The number of replacement water 
heaters is limited to one (1) per original  unit purchased. If due to some  extremely unusual circumstance, a re-
placement water heater or component part is found by our inspection and testing department to be defective, 
another heater or component part will be supplied to fulfill the obligation of the warranty of the original heater.

 

WHAT IS COVERED? 

The  Giant  Standard  Limited  Warranty  covers  any  defects  in  materials  or  workmanship  when  the  product  is  in-
stalled and operated according to Giant written installation instructions, subject to the terms within this Limited War-
ranty document. This Limited Warranty applies only to products that are installed correctly. Improper  installation 
may void this Limited Warranty. Giant strongly suggests that you use a licensed professional who has attended a Giant 
installation training class before installing this water heater. This Limited Warranty coverage as set out in the table 
below extends to the original purchaser and subsequent owners, but only while the product remains at the site of 
the  original  installation.  This  Limited  Warranty  only  extends  to  the  first  /  original  installation  of  the  product  and 
terminates if the product is moved or reinstalled at a new location. 

HOW LONG DOES WARRANTY COVERAGE LAST? 

 

[1]   Period of coverage is reduced to three (3) years from date of purchase when used as a recirculating water 
heater   within a hot water recirculation loop, where the water heater is in series with a recirculation system 
and all re 

circulating water flows through the water heater, and where an aquastat / thermostat, timer, or 

an on demand recirculation system is not incorporated.  

 

On demand recirculation is defined as a hot water recirculating loop or system that utilizes existing hot and 
cold lines or a dedicated return line, and only activates when hot water is used. It can be activated by a push 
button, motion sensor, or voice activation but not by a temperature sensor. A timer added to a standard recircu-
lating pump is not considered as on demand. 

 

[2]  Period of coverage is reduced to five (5) years from date of purchase if the Giant water heater temperature 
setting   exceeds 160° F (71° C). 

NOTE: The integrated controller on indoor models has a one (1) year warranty on parts.
