Pre-installation
1. The installation must conform to the instructions in this
manual and all applicable local, state, provincial, and
national codes, laws, regulations, and ordinances.
Installations in Canada must conform to B149.2 Installation
Code.
2. Ensure that the domestic water supply to the stainless
steel coil has physical and chemical characteristics that fall
within the limits shown in Table 2A. Where questions exist
as to the composition of the water on the job site, a qualified
water treatment expert should be consulted.
Water with characteristics outside the limits
shown in Table 2A may severely shorten
the life of the domestic water coil due to
corrosion. Damage in such cases is not
covered under warranty.
3. Read and understand all installation requirements in
this
manual.
Table 2A
Water Chemistry Requirements
Domestic potable water must have characteristics falling
within the following limits:
Characteristic
Min.
Max.
pH
6.5
9.5
Chloride (PPM)

CAUTION
Locating the Tank
1. Choose a location for the Strato-Therm+ centralized to
the piping system. You must also locate the Strato-Therm+
where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures.
Additionally, you will need to place the appliance so that
the controls, drain, and inlet/outlets are easily accessible.
This appliance must not be installed outdoors, as it is
certified as an indoor appliance, and must also be kept
vertical on a level surface.
2. Table 1C on page 5 shows the weight of all the tanks filled
with water. Ensure that the location chosen for the tank
is capable of supporting the weight.
This appliance must be placed where
leakage from the relief valve, leakage from
the related piping, or leakage from the
tank or connections, will not result in
damage to the surrounding areas, or to
the lower floors of the building. A water
heater should always be located in an area
with a floor drain or installed in a drain
pan suitable for water heaters. Lochinvar
shall not be held liable for any such water
damage.
CAUTION
Failure to properly support the tank could
result in property damage or personal
injury.
WARNING
Recommended Clearances
The installation location must provide adequate clearances
for servicing and proper operation of the appliance.
A 12-inch vertical clearance is recommended from the top of
the appliance. A zero clearance is allowed for the sides of the
appliance. However, boiler and servicing clearances must be
figured when locating the appliance.
3. The tank may be located some distance from the heat
source provided that the pump is designed to to provide
enough flow for both units to perform properly. The
further the distance from the tank to the heat source, the
longer the response time will be to provide sufficient heat
to the tank. Insulate piping between the heat source and
the
tank.
