INDIRECT FIRED WATER TANK

IV    INSTALLATION/PIPING

The Location of the heater.

Locate the heater so that there is easy access to the control,

piping, valves, drain and heater for future servicing and main-

tenance. The  heater  is  to  be  kept  in  an  area  where  it  is  not

exposed to freezing temperatures.

Also,  the  heater  must  be  located  in  an  area  where  a  leak

(eg.  from  the  piping  or  fittings,  from  any  temperature  and

relief valve discharge, or from the tank itself), will not cause

personal  harm  or  damage  the  surrounding  area.  The  tank

should  be  installed  in  an  area  with  a  floor  drain  or  in  a  pan

suitable for water heaters.

Slant/Fin  will  not  be  held  liable  for  any  damages  caused  by

water leakage.

The  floor  or  area  where  the  tank  is  installed  must  be

capable of supporting the tank when filled with water.

(Refer to Table at right.)

Read  the  Installation  and  Operating  Instructions  manual

thoroughly. Follow recommended piping and wiring diagrams.

Upon  completing  installation,  fill  the  tank  with  water.  While

filling it leave a hot water faucet open until a steady stream of

water is flowing. Then, shut the faucet and check for any leaks

thoughout the entire system.

FOR YOUR SAFETY

: Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other appliance.

Controls on this appliance could ignite vapors causing an explosion

PIPING

1. General

a. All plumbing must be in accordance with

the  requirements  of  the  authority  having

jurisdiction.

b. Use both thread tape and pipe dope on all

mechanical connections.

c. Zone valve (if used) and circulator must be

sized to provide minimum flow rate specified

in the table to the right, Flow Specifications.

Use  1  inch  nominal  copper  tubing  between

boiler and heat exchanger. See the tables on

Friction  Loss.  Point  of  emphasis:  using  a

zone  valve  without  a  full  bore  may  cause

high  pressure  drop  which  will  adversely

affect performance. Use extreme care when

selecting zone valve.

d. All piping must be adequately supported.

e. Allow for thermal expansion.

f. Dielectric Unions (recommended)-used to

electrically isolate the tank from the connect-

ed domestic water piping. This helps to min-

imize the possiblity of corrosion

damage.
