Maintenance 

The water heater contains ceramic fiber 
materials.  Use care when handling 
these materials per instructions on page 
3 of this manual. Failure to comply 
could result in severe personal injury.

 WARNING

Cleaning water heater heat 

exchanger

For recommended materials; including brush, appropriate 
extension(s), refractory cover, and detailed instructions 
see Table 2B - Heat Exchanger Cleaning Kits.
1.  Shut down water heater:

•  Follow the “To Turn Off Gas to Appliance” instructions 
  for the heater in the Armor X2 Installation and 
 Operation Manual.
• Do not drain the heater unless it will be exposed to 
  freezing temperatures.  

2.  Allow time for the heater to cool to room temperature 

if it has been firing.

3.  Remove the nuts securing the heat exchanger access 

cover to the heat exchanger and set aside.

4.  Remove the heat exchanger access cover, burner, and 
 

gas/air arm assembly.

* Do NOT use a metal brush.  Only use 
the kit provided brush or an equivalent 
replacement nylon brush. 

 CAUTION

        

                             Service Manual

5.  Remove the condensate hose from the heat exchanger 

end.   Connect a field supplied 3/4” diameter hose to 
a drain pan.  Using field supplied means, cover the 
refractory in the back of the combustion chamber of 
the heat exchanger.

  6.  Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any accumulation on 

the heating surfaces.  Do not use any solvent.

7.  Brush the heat exchanger while dry using a nylon 

bristle brush.  

Caution:

  DO NOT use a metal brush.  

Re-vacuum the heat exchanger.

8.  Finish cleaning using a clean cloth dampened with 

warm water.  Rinse out debris with a low pressure 
water supply.

9.  Allow the heat exchanger to thoroughly dry.
10.  Remove the field supplied rear refractory cover from 

the back of the combustion chamber of the heat 
exchanger and reassemble. 

11.  Close isolation valves on piping to isolate water heater 

from system.  Attach a hose to the water heater drain 
and flush water heater thoroughly with clean water by 
using purging valves to allow water to flow through 
the water make-up line to the water heater.

12. Perform start-up and check-out procedures in the 

Check Flame and Combustion Section of the Armor 
X2 Installation and Operation Manual.

13.  Replace the access cover and restore water heater to 

operation.

Check Delta T

1.  Check the Delta T using Table 2C as a reference.

Oiled bearing circulators

1.  The circulator shipped with the Armor water heater is water-

lubricated.  No oiling is required.

2.  Check other circulators in the system.  Oil any circulators 

requiring oil, following circulator manufacturer’s instructions.  
Over-oiling will damage the circulator.

*Note:  

Pump sizing and flow requirements are based on 45 feet of 

piping, 4 - 90° elbows, and 2 - fully ported ball valves.

**Note: 

 This appliance is shipped with two pumps to meet the fl ow 

requirements listed above.
