SECTION III
– INSTALLATION
WARNING: SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH MAY
OCCUR IF THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS ARE IGNORED.
•
All circuit breakers and/or disconnect switches servicing this heater must be turned
off before installing, repairing or uninstalling this water heater.
•
Installation MUST be done by a licensed electrician and licensed plumber.
Locating and Mounting Instructions:
The Hubbell TXA series tankless water heater can be installed just about anywhere.
However, there are some important guidelines to follow that will ensure that the installation
is both safe and convenient if future servicing is required.
The unit may be installed in either indoor or outdoor locations due to the NEMA 4 -12
enclosure rating, that protects it from rain, splashed water, direct sunlight, debris, and
insects.
This product should NOT be installed in a location where it may be
subjected to freezing temperatures
. If the water inside the tankless water heater
freezes, it can cause severe and permanent damage that is not covered under the warranty.
If you suspect that the tankless water heater may have frozen, do not turn on the heater until
it has thawed, and it has been inspected for damage. (Hubbell has options for internal
heaters for low ambient conditions.)
When selecting an installation location, consider the existing plumbing configuration, the
location of your main electrical panel, and location of the point of use. Try to choose a
location that does not require major plumbing alterations, that is close to the main electrical
panel (this will reduce the amount of wire needed to install), and that is physically close to
the hot water fixtures. By locating the heater close to the points of use, this will reduce the
amount of time it takes for the hot water to travel from the water heater to the point of use.
Consideration should also be given to future servicing.
Do NOT locate the water
heater in a location that is difficult to access or on a horizontal surface, like the
ceiling or floor. This will affect the operation of the high limits.
Avoid installing the tankless water heater in a location prone to excessive
humidity, moisture, or dust, or in an area where it may be splashed with
corrosive liquids. DO NOT install under water pipes or air conditioning lines
that might leak or condense moisture that could then drip onto the heater. Do
NOT install above electrical boxes or junctions.
If installation of the water heater is such, that leaks may cause water damage, make sure
that all code requirements for such installations as required for your area are followed.
Hubbell recommends that a drip pan (connected to a drain) is installed below the water
heater to avoid property damage in the unlikely event of a leak. Alternatively, an active
water leak detector and shut-off valve designed to turn off the water supply if a leak is ever
detected may be installed.
Mounting the unit:
•
Leave a minimum of 12” to both sides 11” on the bottom and 36” in front of the unit.
•
Mount the water heater securely to the wall by putting four (4) screws through the
mounting holes.
•
Install a ¼” diameter bead of sealing caulk around the entire perimeter of the heater
between the heater back panel and the wall. This prevents any moisture or debris
from accumulating.
