SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Do not connect any other appliance vents to the appliance exhaust vent or
intake pipes.
PART 6 – INSTALL THE CONDENSATE DRAIN
1. Due to its efficient design, the appliance produces condensate (water) as
a normal by-product. This condensate is acidic, with a pH level between 3 and
4. This condensate must be drained away from the appliance and disposed in
accordance with all local regulations.
2. Use corrosion-resistant materials approved by the Authority Having
Jurisdiction (AHJ) to drain condensate. In the absence of an AHJ, the included
flexible plastic hose, or field supplied ½” PVC and CPVC drain pipe complying
with ASTM D1785, F441, or D2665 may be used. Cement and primer must comply
with ASTM D2564 or F493. For Canadian applications, use CSA or ULC certified
PVC or CPVC pipe, fittings, and cement.
3. Local building codes may require an in-line neutralizer to be installed
(not included) to treat the condensate. Follow all the installation
instructions included with the neutralizer. If a neutralizer is installed,
periodic replacement of the limestone (or neutralizing agent) will be
required. The rate of depletion of the limestone varies with usage of the
appliance. During the first year of appliance operation, check the neutralizer
every few months for depletion.
4. Route the drain line to a nearby floor drain, laundry tub, or condensate
pump.
NOTE: If a nearby laundry tub is used as a disposal for waste water from the washing machine, draining the condensate into this tub allows the soapy water discharge to neutralize the acidic condensate.
5. An error will appear on the appliance display if condensate line is blocked. The appliance will not operate with a blocked condensate line. It is extremely important to have this condition repaired by a qualified service technician.
NOTE: This appliance has an internal condensate trap that must be cleaned and maintained. See Maintenance section of this manual for instructions on maintaining the trap.
Figure 15 – Internal Condensate Trap
Figure 16 – Condensate Piping with Condensate Neutralizer / Condensate Piping with Condensate Neutralizer and Pump
NOTES:
1. Condensate line must be pitched at least 1/4″ per foot to properly drain.
If this cannot be done, or a very long length of condensate hose is used, you
must increase the condensate line to a minimum of 1” ID and place a tee in the
line after the condensate neutralizer to properly reduce vacuum lock in the
drain line.
2. Plastic pipe should be the only material used for the condensate line.
Steel, brass, copper, or other materials will be subject to corrosion or
deterioration.
3. NEVER install condensate lines outside. It is very important that the
condensate line is not exposed to freezing temperatures or any type of
blockage. Damages due to frozen or blocked condensate lines ARE NOT covered by
warranty.
4. Support of the condensate line may be necessary to avoid blockage of the
condensate flow.
CAUTION
If using a condensate pump, select one approved for use with condensing boilers and furnaces. The pump should have an overflow switch to prevent property damage from condensate spillage.
CAUTION
It is very important that the condensate piping be no smaller than ¾”. To prevent sagging and maintain pitch, condensate piping should be supported with pipe supports, and pitched ¼” per foot to allow for proper drainage.
CAUTION
The condensate line must remain unobstructed, allowing free flow of condensate. If condensate freezes in the line, or if line is obstructed in any other manner, condensate can exit from the tee, resulting in potential water damage to property.
PART 7 – GAS PIPING
WARNING
FIRE AND/OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
To avoid serious injury or death, the gas line installation and the gas line
inlet pressure test must be done by a licensed professional.
Always match the appliance with the type of gas supplied to the unit (natural
gas or LP gas). Propane ready appliances have the suffix “LP” after the model
serial number.
Make sure the gas line pressures are within normal limits. Pressures outside
normal limits can result in poor performance and hazardous operating
conditions.
Failure to ensure the appliance is set to operate on the provided gas supply
could result in property damage, personal injury, or death.

B. GAS CONNECTION REQUIREMENTS
1. The gas connection fitting on the appliance is ½” male NPT. A ½” X ¾” Bell
Coupling has been provided with the appliance to aid installation. NOTE: The
pipe size must not be less than ½”.
2. The supply line must be sized for the maximum output of the appliance
being installed. If there are additional gas appliances from the main supply
line, measure the size of the supply line according to the COMBINED total
maximum BTUH draw for the appliances as if they were operating at the same
time.
3. Measure the length of the gas supply line from the gas meter to the
appliance. Appliance must be installed downstream of the gas meter to ensure
adequate gas supply. Use the tables in this manual or refer to the gas line
manufacturer’s sizing information to determine the correct supply pipe size.
4. A manual gas shut-off valve should be installed in the gas supply line
close to the appliance. See Figure 17 for detail.
5. To facilitate any future maintenance, it is also recommended that an
approved gas union fitting be installed in the supply line between the shut-
off valve and the connection on the appliance.
6. Test the gas pressure to make sure it meets the minimum standards and does
not exceed the maximum standards of the appliance.
7. Leak test the gas line pipe before placing the appliance in operation.

PART 8 – WATER PIPING
A. GENERAL PLUMBING CONNECTION GUIDELINES
- Pipe material must be suitable to meet local codes and industry standards.
- The pipe must be cleaned and without blemish before any connections are made.
- Do not apply a torch within 12” of the appliance. Doing so could damage the appliance. Such damages ARE NOT covered by product warranty.
- The size of the hot water pipe should be ¾” diameter and the central heating water pipe should be 1” in diameter.
- To ease future maintenance isolation valves are recommended on both the CH and DHW loops.
- All piping should be insulated.
B. DHW PIPING
Use both thread tape and pipe dope to connect to the ¾” domestic water inlet
and outlet. A shut off valve between the city water supply and DHW inlet is
recommended for ease of service. Westinghouse offers threaded ¾” DHW tankless
isolation valves with DHW pressure relief valve for ease of installation and
future service. See Optional Equipment, this manual, for part numbers.
It may be recommended to use a back flow preventer – check local codes. If a
back flow preventer or a no return valve is used, a thermal expansion tank
must be installed on the cold water supply between the appliance and valve.
WARNING
To control thermal expansion, a thermal expansion tank suitable for potable water should be installed in systems with an installed backflow preventer. DO NOT use a closed type expansion tank. Follow expansion tank manufacturer’s specifications to properly size an expansion tank to the installation. Failure to properly accommodate thermal expansion could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
C. CENTRAL HEATING PIPING SYSTEM WATER PIPING METHODS
EXPANSION TANK AND MAKE-UP WATER
1. Ensure that the expansion tank is designed and sized to correctly handle system water volume and temperature.
WARNING
Expansion tanks must be sized according to total system volume. This includes all length of pipe, all fixtures, appliances, etc. Failure to properly size system expansion could result in wasted time, money, and possible property damage, personal injury, or death.
CAUTION
Undersized expansion tanks cause system water to be lost from the relief valve, causing make-up water to be added. Eventual appliance failure can result due to excessive make-up water addition. SUCH FAILURE IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
2. The expansion tank must be located following recognized design methods.
See expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for details.
3. Connect the expansion tank to the air separator only if the air separator
is on the suction side of the circulator. Always install the system fill
connection at the same point as the expansion tank connection to the system.
CAUTION
DO NOT install automatic air vents on closed type expansion tank systems. Air must remain in the system and return to the tank to provide an air cushion. An automatic air vent would cause air to leave the system, resulting in improper operation of the expansion tank.
DIAPHRAGM (OR BLADDER) EXPANSION TANK
Always install an automatic air vent on top of the air separator to remove
residual air from the system.
CAUTION
Use at least the MINIMUM pipe size for all appliance loop piping (connecting appliance to and from the primary/secondary connection). DO NOT pipe the appliance in any configuration other than primary/secondary. All piping methods shown in this manual use primary/secondary connection. This is to avoid the possibility of inadequate flow through the appliance. Using less than the required minimum pipe size and piping in anything other than a primary/secondary installation could result in system problems, property damage, and premature appliance failure. Such problems ARE NOT covered by product warranty.
Use both thread tape and pipe dope to connect to the 1” heating water outlet and inlet

D. CH AND DHW PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES
An external pressure relief valve must be installed on this appliance for both
the CH and DHW loops. When installing, observe the following guidelines.
Pressure relief valves must be installed as close to the appliance as
possible. No other valves should be placed between the pressure relief valve
and the appliance. Failure to comply with these guidelines can result in
substantial property damage, personal injury, or death.
This appliance has a high-temperature shut-off switch built in as a standard
safety feature. Therefore, a “pressure only” relief valve is required. DO NOT
operate this appliance before the supplied pressure relief valve is installed
with sufficient relieving capacity in accordance with the ASME rating plate on
the appliance.
CH Loop
This appliance is provided with a CH pressure relief valve that complies with
the ANSI/ASME Appliance and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV (Heating
Appliances). The included 30 psi CH Pressure Relief Valve must be installed on
the CH supply line to ensure a compliant installation and safe operation.
Westinghouse has supplied a ¾” X 1” bushing to aid installation of the CH
Pressure Relief Valve. The valve is meant to be field installed. DO NOT
install a CH pipe line relief valve with a pressure rating greater than 30
psi. This is the maximum allowable CH relief valve setting for this appliance.
DHW Loop
This appliance must be provided with a DHW pressure relief valve that complies
with local codes, but not less than valves certified as meeting the
requirements of Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 CSA4.4
by a nationally recognized lab that maintains periodic inspection of
production listed equipment. A DHW pressure relief valve is not included with
the appliance, and is to be field supplied and installed. DO NOT install a DHW
relief valve with a pressure rating greater than 150 psi. This is the maximum
allowable DHW relief valve setting for this appliance.
After installing the relief valves and filling and pressurizing the system,
test the operation of the valves by lifting the levers. Make sure the valves
discharge freely. If a valve fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new
relief valve. Ensure that the maximum BTU/H rating on the pressure relief
valve is equal to or greater than the maximum input BTU/H rating of the
combination appliance.
Figure 24 – Relief Valve Details
WARNING
To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation:
- Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief valve discharge.
- Discharge line must be as short as possible and the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.
- Discharge line must pitch downward from the valve and terminate at least 6” above the floor drain, making discharge clearly visible.
- The relief line cannot be in contact with any live electrical parts.
- Discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375oF or greater.
- Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing could occur.
- No shutoff valve may be installed between the relief valve and appliance or in the discharge line. Do not plug or place any obstruction in the discharge line.
- Test the operation of the relief valve after filling and pressurizing the system by lifting the lever. Make sure the valve discharges freely. If the valve fails to operate correctly, replace it with a new relief valve.
- Test relief valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the appliance “off” and call a plumber immediately.
- Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid scalding injury or property damage.
- For appliances installed with only a pressure relief valve, the separate storage vessel must have a temperature and pressure relief valve installed. This relief valve shall comply with Relief Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22 CSA4.4.
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE ABOVE GUIDELINES COULD RESULT IN FAILURE OF RELIEF VALVE OPERATION, RESULTING IN POSSIBILITY OF SUBSTANTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.

L. OUTDOOR TEMPERATURE MODE (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: If the system requires a fixed operating temperature, the outdoor sensor is not required and should not be installed.
There is no connection required if an outdoor sensor is not used in the installation.
1. Use a minimum 22 AWG wire for runs of 100 feet or less and minimum 18 AWG
wire for runs of up to 150 feet.
2. Mount the outdoor sensor on an exterior surface of the building,
preferably on the north side in an area that will not be affected by direct
sunlight and will be exposed to varying weather conditions.
NOTE: For correct mounting procedures, follow instructions provided with
the sensor.
NOTE: If sensor wires are located in an area with sources of potential
electromagnetic interference (EMI), the sensor wires should be shielded, or
the wires routed in a grounded metal conduit. If using shielded cable, the
shielding should be connected to the common ground of the appliance.
NOTE: Outdoor Temperature Mode Icon on the display will flash if an
Outdoor Sensor or 0-10 Volt is not connected to the appliance.

To check the CH Target Temperature while using Outdoor Temperature Mode, press the button while the appliance is operational and the display panel is powered on.
Figure 43 – Outdoor Reset Curve – See Installer Mode for Curve Setting Descriptions
M. 0-10 VOLT INPUT
1. A signal from a building management system may be connected to the
appliance to enable remote control. This signal should be a 0-10 volt
positive-going DC signal. When this input is enabled, a building control
system can be used to control the set point temperature of the appliance. The
control interprets the 0-10 volt signal as follows; when the signal is between
0 and 1.5 volts, the appliance will be in standby mode, not firing. When the
signal rises above 1.5 volts, the appliance will ignite. As the signal
continues to rise towards its maximum of 10 volts, the appliance will increase
in set point temperature.
2. Connect a building management system or other auxiliary control signal to
the terminals marked for this purpose on the appliance terminal block (shown
in Piping Diagrams, this manual). Caution should be used to ensure that the
0-10 VOLT + connection does not become connected to ground.
NOTE: Ensure that the polarity of the connections from the external modulating appliance controller to the appliance is correct. Reversed polarity could lead to erratic and/or no response from the appliance controller.
NOTE: Outdoor Temperature Mode Icon on the display will flash if an Outdoor Sensor or 0-10 Volt is not connected to the appliance.
PART 11 – START-UP PREPARATION
WARNING
Thoroughly clean and flush any system that has used glycol before installing the appliance.
A. CHECK / CONTROL WATER CHEMISTRY
CAUTION
Chemical imbalance of your water can cause severe damage to your appliance and associated equipment, and may also affect efficiency. You may have to have your water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether you need to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked before installing the appliance, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system. Outlined below are those water quality parameters which need to be met in order for the system to operate efficiently for many years. Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or other imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.
To assure good extended service life, it is recommended that you test your water quality prior to installation. Listed below are some guidelines.
WARNING
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in the appliance system. Damage to elastomer seals and gaskets in the system could occur, resulting in substantial property damage.
Water Quality
Potable water is defined as drinkable water supplied from utility or well
water in compliance with EPA secondary maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR Part
143.3) as shown in Table 22. It is important to ensure the water quality is
within these determined limits. If your water contains contaminants higher
than outlined by EPA, then water treatment is recommended and additional
maintenance may be required. If you suspect that your water is contaminated in
any way, discontinue use of the appliance and contact an authorized technician
or licensed professional.
Contaminant| Maximum Allowable Level| Contaminant| Maximum
Allowable Level
---|---|---|---
Total Hardness| 200 mg/l (12 grains/gallon)| Manganese| 0.05 mg/l
Aluminum| 0.05 to 0.2 mg/l| pH| 6.5-8.5
Chloride| 250 mg/l| Sulfate| 205 mg/l
Copper| 1 mg/l| Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)| 500 mg/l
Iron| 0.3 mg/l| Zinc| 205 mg/l
Table 22 – Water Quality Specifications
Clean system to remove sediment*
1. You must thoroughly flush the system (without the appliance connected) to
remove sediment. The high-efficiency heat exchanger can be damaged by buildup
or corrosion due to sediment.
2. For zoned systems, flush each zone separately through a purge valve. (If
purge valves and isolation valves are not already installed, install them to
properly clean the system.)
3. Flush system until water runs clean and you are sure piping is free of
sediment.
*NOTE: It is recommended you clean heat exchanger at least once a year to prevent lime scale buildup. Follow the maintenance procedure to clean the heat exchanger in this manual.
NOTE: APPLIANCE FAILURE DUE TO IMPROPER WATER CHEMISTRY IS NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.
B. CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS
WARNING
Before starting the appliance, and during initial operation, smell near the floor and around the appliance for gas odorant or any unusual odor. Remove appliance front door and smell interior of appliance enclosure. Do not proceed with startup if there is any indication of a gas leak. Repair any leaks at once.
WARNING
PROPANE APPLIANCES ONLY – Propane suppliers mix an odorant with the gas to make its presence detectable. In some instances, the odorant can fade, and the gas may no longer have an odor. Before startup and periodically thereafter, have the propane supplier verify the correct odorant level in the gas.
WARNING
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY READ BEFORE OPERATING
1. This appliance does not have pilot. It is equipped with an ignition device
which automatically lights the burner. Do not try to light the burner by hand.
2. BEFORE OPERATING: smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to
smell next to the floor because some gas is heavier than air and will settle
on the floor.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS
- Do not try to light any appliance.
- Do not touch any electric switch; do not use any phone in your building.
- Immediately call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. Follow the gas suppliers’ instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
- Turn off gas shutoff valve (located outside of the appliance) so that the handle is crosswise to the gas pipe. If the handle will not turn by hand, don’t try to force or repair it, call a qualified service technician. Force or attempted repair may result in a fire or explosion.
4. Do not use this appliance if any part has been under water. Immediately
call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas control that has been damaged.
5. The appliance shall be installed so the gas ignition system components are
protected from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance
operation and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap, control
replacement, etc.)
Failure to follow these instructions could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
WARNING
If you discover any evidence of a gas leak, shut down the appliance at once. Find the leak source with a bubble test and repair immediately. Do not start the appliance again until the leak is repaired. Failure to comply could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
C. FILL AND TEST WATER SYSTEM
WARNING
Ensure the appliance is full of water before firing the burner. Failure to do so will damage the appliance. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty, and could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
1. Fill the system only after ensuring water chemistry meets the requirements
listed in this manual.
2. Close the manual and automatic air vents and appliance drain valve.
3. Fill to the correct system pressure. Correct pressure will vary with each
application.
a. Typical cold water fill pressure for a CH residential system is 12 psi.
b. Pressure will rise when appliance is turned on and system water temperature
increases. Operating pressure of the CH system should never exceed 25 psi, and
must never exceed the relief valve pressure setting.
4. At initial fill and during appliance startup and testing, check system
thoroughly for leaks. Repair all leaks before proceeding further.
WARNING
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual fresh make-up water will reduce
appliance life. Minerals can build up in the heat exchanger, reducing heat
transfer, overheating the heat exchanger, causing heat exchanger failure and
possibly resulting in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
5. The system may have residual substances that could affect water chemistry.
After the system has been filled and leak tested, verify that water pH and
chlorine concentrations are acceptable by sample testing.
CAUTION
It is important to purge the system of air to avoid damage to the appliance.
D. PURGE AIR FROM CH AND INTERNAL STORAGE TANK
CAUTION
IMPORTANT! While commissioning the system, the air vent on top of the appliance must remain fully open to allow the appliance to properly fill. Failure to keep the air vent open could lead to improper appliance and system operation.
To purge air from the system:
a. Connect a hose to the purge valve and route hose to an area where water can
drain and be seen.
b. Close the appliance or system isolation valve between the purge valve and
fill connection to the system.
c. Close zone isolation valves.
d. Open quick-fill valve on cold water make-up line.
e. Open purge valve.
f. Open the isolation valves one zone at a time. Allow water to run through
the zone, pushing out the air. Run water until no noticeable air flow is
present. Close the zone isolation valves and proceed with the next zone.
Follow this procedure until all zones are purged.
g. Close the quick-fill water valve and purge valve and remove the hose. Open
all isolation valves. Watch the system pressure rise to correct cold-fill
pressure. It is recommended that you put the pumps into manual operation to
assist in purging the circuits.
h. Disconnect the wires that are connected to the THERMOSTAT terminals of the
terminal block. Apply power to the appliance. After the control goes through
the start-up sequence, the display will turn off.
i. Press and hold the button for five seconds. Then scroll to 29:AP by turning
the dial . Press the button. AP:cP will show on the display. Press the button
to change the test time. The default is five minutes. Turn the dial
counterclockwise to lower or clockwise to raise the displayed value. Press the
button again to save any changes.
j. Then use the dial to scroll to cP:off. Press the button to turn on test
mode. Turn the dial counterclockwise to lower or clockwise to select on. Press
the button again to start test mode.
k. The CH and internal circulation pumps will come on. Run pumps as required
to help bleed out all entrapped air. Some good indicators that air is removed
include the absence of gurgling noises in the pipes and pump operation
becoming very quiet. Test mode will stop automatically after the set time
(default is five minutes), or press the button to leave it manually.
l. After the system has operated for some time, eliminate any residual air by
using the manual air vents located throughout the system.
m. If purge valves are not installed in the system, open manual air vents in
the system one at a time, beginning with the lowest floor. Close vent when
water squirts out. Repeat with remaining vents.
n. Refill to correct pressure.
E. PURGE AIR FROM DHW SYSTEM
1. Make sure CH and DHW lines to the appliance are open and full of water. Turn on all electric power to appliance.
WARNING
Ensure the appliance is full of water before firing the burner. Failure to do so will damage the appliance. Such damage IS NOT covered by warranty, and could result in property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
2. Open hot water faucets in the DHW system. Start with the faucets nearest
the appliance.
3. Keep faucets open until water runs freely and all air is purged. Then move
on to faucets further away from the appliance in the system.
4. When water flows freely from all hot water faucets, DHW purging is
complete.
F. CHECK THERMOSTAT CIRCUIT(S)
1. Disconnect the two external wires connected to the appliance thermostat
terminals (low voltage terminal strip).
2. Connect a voltmeter across these two incoming wires with power supplied to
the thermostat circuits. Close each thermostat, zone valve and relay in the
external circuit one at a time and check the voltmeter reading across the
incoming wires.
3. There should NEVER be a voltage reading.
4. If a voltage reading does occur under any condition, check and correct the
external wiring. (This is a common problem when using 3-wire zone valves.)
5. Once the external thermostat circuit wiring is checked and corrected if
necessary, reconnect the external thermostat circuit wires to the appliance
low voltage terminal strip. Allow the appliance to cycle.
G. CONDENSATE REMOVAL
1. This is a high efficiency condensing appliance. Therefore, the appliance
has a condensate drain. Condensate fluid is nothing more than water derived
from combustion products, similar to that produced by an automobile when it is
initially started.
Condensate is slightly acidic (typically with a pH of 3 to 5) and must be piped with the correct materials. Never pipe the condensate using steel, copper, brass or other materials that will be subject to corrosion. Plastic PVC or CPVC pipe are the only approved materials.
A condensate neutralizer, if required by local authorities, may be purchased
from Westinghouse (7450P-212).
2. The appliance is provided with a ½” X ¾” reducing coupling that must be
installed on the appliance before the condensate is piped to a local drain. It
is very important that the minimum ¾” condensate line is sloped downward away
from the appliance to a suitable inside drain. If the condensate outlet on the
appliance is lower than the drain, you must use a condensate removal pump,
available from Westinghouse (554200). This pump is equipped with two leads
that can be connected to an alarm or another type of warning device to alert
the user of a condensate overflow, which, if not corrected, could cause
property damage.
3. If a long horizontal run is used, it may be necessary to create a vent in
the horizontal run to prevent a vacuum lock in the condensate line.
4. Do not expose the condensate to freezing temperatures.
5. It is very important you support the condensate line to assure proper
drainage.
H. FINAL CHECKS BEFORE STARTING APPLIANCE
1. Verify the appliance and system are full of water and all system
components are correctly set for operation.
2. Fill the condensate trap with water.
3. Verify electrical connections are correct and securely attached.
4. Inspect exhaust vent and intake piping for signs of deterioration from
corrosion, physical damage, or sagging. Verify exhaust vent and intake piping
are intact and correctly installed per Venting Section (this manual) and local
codes.
I. ADJUSTING GAS PRESSURE AT THE APPLIANCE
NOTE : Refer to Figure 44 when adjusting gas pressure. Loosen the screw before checking the gas inlet pressure.
1. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from
the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of the system at test
pressures greater than ½ psi (3.5 kPa).
2. The appliance must be isolated from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of the
gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or less than ½ psi (3.5
kPa).
NOTICE
Do not fire (operate) the appliance until all connections have been completed and the heat exchanger is filled with water. Doing so will damage the appliance and void the warranty.
ADJUSTING GAS PRESSURE AT THE APPLIANCE
1. Open the gas line and water valves.
2. Use a Phillips Head screwdriver to remove the appliance top cover. Remove
the front cover.
3. Loosen the gas inlet pressure tap screw three turns with a screwdriver.
Connect the manometer to the inlet gas pressure port. See Figure 44.
4. Turn on power to the appliance and open a hot water faucet.
5. The minimum and maximum inlet gas line pressures must meet the
requirements shown in Table 23.
LP GAS | NATURAL GAS |
---|---|
Minimum Pressure | 3.5” WC |
Maximum Pressure | 14” WC |
Table 23 – Gas Pressure Requirements
6. Remove the manometer. Close the screw on the gas inlet pressure tap.
J. SETTING AND VERIFYING THE COMBUSTION SETTING
1. After the appliance has fired, flip DIP switch seven (7) to the ON position (low fire). Proceed to check appliance combustion values.
NOTE: Use a combustion analyzer to ensure CO and CO2 values are within the range shown in Table 24.
WARNING
It is required to use a combustion analyzer to verify final adjustment
according to the combustion chart (Table 24). Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury or death.
If the readings obtained are lower or higher than the combustion readings in
Table 24, use a 4mm Allen key to adjust the offset screw in a clockwise
(positive) or counterclockwise (negative) direction (approximately 1/4 turn).
See Figure 45. Check your combustion values. Repeat this procedure until the
values obtained on the combustion analyzer agree with those stated in Table
24.
NOTE: If the appliance makes a whistling sound (harmonics) at low fire, adjust the offset screw in a clockwise (positive) direction (approximately 1/8 turn). Check your combustion values and ensure they agree with those stated in
WARNING
It is very important that combustion settings be set within the recommended CO measurements listed in Table 24. Visually looking at the burner does not determine combustion quality. Failure to measure combustion with a Combustion Analyzer and set the throttle within the recommended CO measurements could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
COMBUSTION SETTINGS
| NATURAL GAS| LP GAS
FAN SPEED| LOW| HIGH| LOW| HIGH
CO PPM| <175| <175| <175| <175
CO2 (%)| 8 – 10| 8 ½ – 10 ½| 9 – 10 ½| 9 ½ – 11
Table 24 before proceeding.
2. When low fire settings have been obtained, flip DIP switch seven (7) to
its original (OFF) position. This will return the appliance to normal mode.
3. Flip DIP switch six (6) to ON (high fire). Again check combustion readings
with a combustion analyzer.
4. When complete, flip DIP switch six (6) to its original (OFF) position.
This will return the appliance to normal mode.
5. Allow appliance to operate normally. Ensure it is operating properly.
6. Reinstall the appliance front cover.
7. Use a Phillips Head screwdriver to reinstall the appliance top cover

The appliance must be inspected and serviced annually, preferably at the start of the heating season, by a qualified service technician. In addition, the maintenance and care of the appliance as outlined in this manual must be performed by the user/owner to assure maximum efficiency and reliability. Follow the maintenance procedures given throughout this manual. Failure to perform the service and maintenance or follow the directions in this manual could damage the appliance or system components, resulting in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Check the Surrounding Area
DANGER
To prevent the potential of substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death, eliminate all the materials listed in Table 7 from the area surrounding the appliance and the vicinity of the combustion air intake. If contaminates are found:
- Remove products immediately from area.
- If contaminates have been there for an extended period, call a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance for possible damage from acid corrosion.
If products cannot be removed, immediately call a qualified service technician to re-pipe the combustion air intake piping away from the contaminated areas.
Combustible/Flammable Materials
Do not store combustible materials, gasoline, or other flammable vapors or
liquids near the appliance. If found, remove these materials immediately.
Air Contaminates
If allowed to contaminate combustion air, products containing chlorine or
fluorine will produce acidic condensate that will cause significant damage to
the appliance. Read the list of potential contaminates and areas likely to
have these contaminates in Table 7. If any of these contaminates are in the
room where the appliance is located, or combustion air is taken from one of
the areas listed, the contaminates must be removed immediately or the intake
pipe must be relocated to another area.
Ensure the Appliance Cabinet is Closed
Ensure the appliance cabinet is closed. Tighten the two upper and lower screws
to secure it. The cabinet must be closed while the appliance is running.
Check the Power Source
Make sure the power cord is properly connected. The main power line is
connected to the manual switch box inside the appliance.
Check the Status of the Control Panel
Observe the Control Panel to ensure the appliance is powered on, and to check
for any error codes. Clear any debris from the panel.
Check Exhaust Vent and Intake Pipe Terminations
Verify that the appliance exhaust vent and intake pipe terminations are clean
and free of obstructions. Remove any debris from the exhaust vent or intake
pipe openings. If removing the debris does not allow the appliance to operate
correctly, contact your qualified service technician to inspect the appliance
and the vent system.
Check CH and DHW Pressure Gauges
- Ensure the pressure reading on the CH gauge does not exceed 30 psig. Higher pressure readings may indicate a problem with the expansion tank.
- Ensure the pressure reading on the DHW gauge does not exceed 150 psig. Higher pressure readings may indicate a problem with the domestic expansion tank.
- Contact a qualified service technician if problem persists.
Check Exhaust Vent and Intake Piping
Visually inspect the exhaust vent for any signs of blockage, leakage, or
deterioration of the piping. Inspect the exhaust vent bracing. Ensure bracing
is undamaged and in good condition. Notify a qualified service technician
immediately if any problems are found.
WARNING
Failure to inspect the venting system and have it repaired by a qualified service technician can result in vent system failure, causing severe personal injury or death.
Visually inspect the intake piping for any signs of blockage. Inspect the entire length of the intake pipe to ensure piping is intact and all joints are properly sealed. Inspect the intake pipe bracing. Ensure bracing is undamaged and in good condition. Notify a qualified service technician if any problems are found.
Check Pressure Relief Valve
-
Visually inspect the primary pressure relief valve and discharge pipe for signs of weeping or leakage.
-
If the pressure relief valve often weeps, the expansion tank may not be operating properly. Immediately contact a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and system.
Check Vent Condensate Drain System -
While the appliance is running, check the discharge end of the condensate drain tubing. Ensure no flue gas is leaking from the condensate drain tubing by holding your fingers near the opening.
-
If you notice flue gas leaking from the opening, this indicates a dry condensate drain trap. If problem persists, contact a qualified service technician to inspect the appliance and condensate line and refill the condensate trap.
-
If applicable, check the condensate neutralizer and ensure it is full of condensate neutralizing marble chips.
Check the Air Vent
Loosen cap “A” one counterclockwise turn to allow air vent to operate. See
Figure 47. If the air vent valve works freely without leaking, close the valve
by turning clockwise. If vent does not operate correctly, contact a qualified
service technician to replace the vent.
Check Primary and Gas Piping
- Remove the appliance cover and perform a gas leak inspection following Operating Instructions, page 2, this manual. If gas odor or leak is detected, follow procedures on page 2. Call a qualified service technician.
- Visually inspect for leaks around the internal appliance water connections and around the heat exchanger. Visually inspect the external system piping, circulators, and system components and fittings. Immediately call a qualified service technician to repair any leaks.
Have leaks fixed at once by a qualified service technician. Failure to comply could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Operate Pressure Relief Valve
- Before proceeding, verify that the relief valve outlet has been piped to a safe place of discharge, avoiding any possibility of scalding from hot water.
WARNING
To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation, a discharge line must be connected to the valve outlet and directed to a safe place of disposal. This discharge line must be installed by a qualified service technician or heating/plumbing installer in accordance with the appliance installation manual. The discharge line must be terminated so as to eliminate possibility of severe burns or property damage should the valve discharge.
- Read the temperature and pressure gauge to ensure the system is pressurized. Minimum is 10 psi. Maximum is 25 psi. Lift the relief valve top lever slightly, allowing water to relieve through the valve and discharge piping.
- If water flows freely, release the lever and allow the valve to seat. Watch the end of the relief valve discharge pipe to ensure that the valve does not weep after the line has had time to drain. If the valve weeps, lift the lever again to attempt to clean the valve seat. If the valve does not properly seat and continues to weep, contact a qualified service technician to inspect the valve and system.
- If water does not flow from the valve when you completely lift the lever, the valve or discharge line may be blocked. Immediately shut the appliance down per instructions on page 2 and call a qualified service technician to inspect the valve and system.
