Notes:
1. Size the pump to provide a maximum of 2 GPM
(7.5 L/min.) through the system at 10 ft (3m) of
head plus piping losses.
Adjust the flow using a globe valve and verify the
flow rate with the maintenance monitors.
2. Pump Control Signal is the preferred method to
control the recirculation pump.
For pumps larger than 85W, a relay connection
must be used. If the Pump Control Signal is not used,
an Aquastat may be used to control the pump.
4. Noritz recommends the use of an Isolation Kit with
the installation.
These kits include an integrated shut-off and service
valve with unions and a pressure relief valve.
Notes:

the installation.
These kits include an integrated shut-off and service
valve with unions and a pressure relief valve.
2. Size the pump to provide a maximum of 3 GPM
(11.3 L/min.) with a head pressure equal to the loss
through the water heater and Air Handler.
3. Check valve required if it is not included with the pump.
4. Set the flow switch to deactivate the Air Handler when
the domestic hot water flow reaches 3 GPM (11.3 L/min.).
Adjust as necessary to prevent cycling.
5. If the system requires water for space heating at a higher
temperature than for other uses, means such as a
mixing valve shall be provided to temper the water for
the other uses to help prevent scalding.

7. The water heater cannot be used for space heating applications only.
8. Only POTABLE water may be plumbed through
the water heater.
6. Expansion tank required if a backflow preventer is installed.
If the Air Handler does not control the water flow automatically, the Scale detection feature will not work.
3. Set the Aquastat to 10˚F below the set output temperature.
An aquastat is the minimum pump control requirement
in order to maintain the full recirculation waranty.
If it is not installed, the water heater can not detect
the Scale Build-up in the Heat Exchanger.
