NOTE

: Be sure to install flow switch so that the arrow on the flow 

switch is pointing in the direction of the flow (see Figure 55).

FLOW SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

Refer to Table 20 for the proper setting of the sensitivity screw. 

For reference, the position of the screw prior to setting should be 

turned clockwise with a Phillips driver until it stops (Figure 55). 

Proceed to turn the screw counterclockwise the amount of turns 

listed in Table 20 based on the model.
Consult the manufacturer’s instructions for wiring the flow switch 

to your system.

NOTE

: Turn the sensitivity screw clockwise to increase the flow 

rate  required  to  activate  the  switch.  Turn  the  sensitivity  screw 

counterclockwise to decrease the flow rate required to activate 

the switch.

WATER HEATER INSTALLATION

SYSTEM PIPING

Observe a minimum of 1/4 inch clearance around all un insulated 

hot  water  pipes  when  openings  around  the  pipes  are  not 

protected by non-combustible materials.

GENERAL PIPING INFORMATION

Basic  steps  are  listed  below  along  with  illustrations  on  the 

following  pages  (Figure’s  57  thru  60),  which  will  guide  you 

through the installation of the XP water heater.
1.  Connect the cold water supply to the inlet side of the water 

heater.

2.  Connect the hot water supply to the outlet side of the water 

heater.

3.  Install a backflow preventer or check valve on the cold feed 

make-up water line.

4.  Install the factory supplied pump as shown in Figure’s 57 thru 

60.

5.  Install  an  expansion  tank  on  the  system  supply.  Consult 

the  tank  manufacturer’s  instruction  for  specific  information 

relating to tank installation. Size the expansion tank for the 

required system volume and capacity.

6.  Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system.
7.  This  appliance  is  supplied  with  a  Temperature  &  Pressure 

Relief  Valve  sized  in  accordance  with  ASME  Boiler  and 

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV (“Heating Boilers”). Pipe 

the discharge of the safety T & P Relief Valve to a suitable 

drain to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Pipe the 

discharge to a drain. Provide piping that is the same size as 

the safety T & P Relief Valve outlet. Never block the outlet of 

the safety T & P Relief Valve.

The  T  &  P  Relief  Valve,  tee  and  other  necessary  fittings  are 

shipped in the install kit with the water heater and are to be field 

installed.  See  the  piping  illustrations  included  in  this  section, 

Figure 57 thru Figure 60 for suggested guidelines in piping the 

XP water heater.

NOTE

: *Please note that these illustrations are meant to show 

system  piping  concept  only,  the  installer  is  responsible  for  all 

equipment and detailing required by local codes.

FLOW SWITCH AND TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE 

RELIEF VALVE (T & P RELIEF VALVE) INSTALLATION

Basic steps are listed below to guide you through the installation 

of the flow switch and T & P Relief Valve provided with the unit.
1.  Install  the  tee  with  the  3/4  inch  fitting  positioned  vertically 

and on the top as shown in Figure 54.

2.  Install the T & P Relief Valve into the 3/4 inch fitting of the tee 

installed in Step 1 (Figure 54).

3.  Install  the  close  nipple  on  the  downstream  side  of  the 

temperature and pressure relief valve tee (Figure 54).

4.  Install the tee with the 1 inch fitting positioned vertically and 

on the top (Figure 54).

5.  Attach the paddle to the flow switch per the manufacturer’s 

instructions.  Reference  Table  20  to  select  the  correct 

paddle  for  the  pipe  size  used  (consult  the  manufacturer’s 

instructions  for  a  detailed  explanation).  For  Example:  If 

using a 1 1/4 inch pipe size (Models XWH 150 - XWH 200) 

select paddle #1.

6.  Install the assembled flow switch into the 1 inch fitting of the 

tee installed in Step 4 (see Figure 54).
