Section 3 : INSTALLATION 

 

 
 
The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover 
any damage or defect caused by installation 
or attachment or use of any special 
attachment other than those authorized by 
the manufacturer into, onto, or in 
conjunction with the water heater. The use of 
such unauthorized devices may shorten the 
life of the water heater and may endanger life 
and property. The manufacturer disclaims 
any responsibility for such loss or injury 
resulting from the use of such unauthorized 
devices. 

 
3.1 SAFETY MEASURES 

All domestic and commercial installations will 
include a pressure relief valve limiting the 
operating pressure to 30 psi. 
 
This COMBOMAX

MC

 electric boiler is designed 

for a maximum operating temperature of 190°F. 
It is designed as a hot water heating system 
only. When allowed by local regulation an 
antifreeze water and propylene-glycol blend 
(50% maximum concentration) may be used on 
installations having a potable water supply 
pressure above 240 kPa (35 psi). 

 
3.2 LOCATION 

The COMBOMAX

MC

 water heater should be 

installed in a clean, dry location. Long hot water 
lines should be insulated to conserve water and 
energy. The water heater and water lines should 
be protected from exposure to freezing.  
 
COMBOMAX

MC 

water heaters must be installed 

vertically. Use the adjustable feet to level the 
unit. 
 
The COMBOMAX

MC

 water heater must be 

located or protected so as not to be subject to 
physical damage, for example, by moving 
vehicles, area flooding, etc..  
 
All models can be installed on combustible floors 
and in alcoves. If the water heater is to be 
installed in a restaurant or other location where 
the floor is frequently cleaned, it must be 
elevated to provide at least 6 inches of 
clearance from the floor to comply with NSF 

International recommendations.  
 
The room temperature must not exceed 80°F or 
27°C. 
 

3.3 CLEARANCE 

 

The minimum clearances required for proper 
inspection and servicing are as follows: 
 
Table 4: Clearances 

Left side   3 inches 

Right side 

3 inches 

Top   6 inches 

Front  24 inches 

Back 

3 inches 

 
3.4 SYSTEM SETUP 

Figures 2, 3 and 4 are general connection 
diagrams including the circulator, the expansion 
tank, the drain cock, the safety valve, the air 
bleeder, the flow check valve and the thermo 
manometer. Set-up details follow.  
 

3.5 HEATING WATER CIRCUIT 
 
3.5.1 Connecting the heating water 
piping 

The boiler may be set up alone or in parallel with 
others. Parallel connections should be made 
using the reverse-piping method to ensure equal 
flow through each boiler.  
 
The boiler water supply connector is located on 
top of the boiler and the boiler water return 
connector is located to the left of the three-way 
valve. They are both threaded NPT female 
connectors.  
 
Unions are recommended on the hot and cold 
water lines to disconnect the water heater easily 
for servicing if necessary.  
 
Dielectric (insulating) unions are required for 
protection of the water heater if copper-steel 
connections are made.  
 
Use only clean copper or approved plastic pipe 
for water connections. Local codes or 
regulations shall govern the exact type of 
material to be used.
