I SAFETY

The warranty on this water heater is in effect only when the water heater is installed and operated in accordance with these instructions. The manufacturer of this water heater will not be liable for any injury or property damage resulting from failure to comply with these instructions.

WARNING! This water heater must be installed strictly in accordance with the instructions enclosed, and local electrical, fuel and building codes. It is possible that connections to the water heater, or the water heater itself may develop leaks. IT IS THEREFORE IMPERATIVE that the water heater be installed so that any leakage of the tank or related water piping is directed to an adequate drain in such a way that it cannot damage the building, furniture, carpeting, adjacent areas, lower floors of the structure or other property subject to water damage. This is particularly important if the water heater is installed in a multi-story building, on finished flooring or carpeted surfaces. SLANT/FIN CORP. CANNOT

BE HELD LIABLE for damage caused by water from the water heater, pressure relief valve, or related fittings. Closets without drains and carpeted areas are examples of unsuitable locations for any water heater. Select a location as centralized within the piping system as possible. The heater should be located in an area not subject to freezing temperatures at any time. It is recommended that a suitable drain pan be installed under the water heater. This pan shall be a minimum of 50mm (2 in.) deep and have a diameter that is a minimum of 50mm (2 in.) greater than the diameter of the water heater. Suitable piping shall connect the drain pan to a properly operating floor drain.

INDIRECT FIRED WATER TANK

Relief Valve Requirements

Caution: To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and temperatures in this water heater, install temperature and pressure protective equipment required by local codes. It should be no less than a combination temperature and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of production of listed equipment or materials, as meeting the latest edition of ANSI Z21.22:

Requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas

Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems. This valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not to exceed the marked MAXIMUM working pressure of the water heater (150 PSI). Install the valve into an opening provided and marked for this purpose in the water heater, and orient it or provide tubing so that any discharge from the valve will exit only within 6 inches above, or any distance below the structural floor and cannot contact any live electrical part. The discharge opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under any circumstances. The end of the relief pipe opening should terminate near a floor drain or other suitable location not subject to blocking or freezing. DO NOT thread, plug or cap the relief pipe opening.

DANGER

• Water temperatures over 125ºF can cause severe burns instantly, or death from scalds.

• Children, disabled, and elderly are at the highest risk of being scalded.

• See instruction manual before setting temperature at water heater.

• Feel water before bathing or showering.

• Temperature limiting valves are available, see manual.

Total Peak Hour Demand = _______________________

b. Estimate unusual peak draw demand. Whirlpool baths, hot tubs, and mutltiple head showers require large quantities of hot water in a short period of time. Contact fixture manufacturer for quantity of water required.

Generally speaking, these circumstances can only be met with larger storage volumes.

c. Domestic Water Temperature. Most residential usage will be satisfied with 119˚F water, the temperature setting recommended by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Some applications such as laundry and dishwashers may require a higher temperature.

Ratings can be improved by increasing thermostat setting and using a mixing valve to temper the hot water to the proper temperature. When temperatures greater than 119˚F are required, use a mixing valve at the outlet of the water heater or anti-scald fittings at point of use.

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 maintenance. 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.)

5

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.

V WIRING

General wiring requirements

Wiring must conform to National Electrical Code in U.S.A.,

C.S.A. C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code Part 1 in Canada, and any other national, provincial, state, or local code requirements having jurisdiction.

All line voltage wiring must be a minimum 18 gage.

A separate service switch for the water heater electrical circuit is recommended. This switch must not turn off the boiler or other components in the heating system.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

All wire connections to “T-T” or “A-A” terminals on boiler control must be from an isolated circuit which does nent which does not have isolated end switches must tacts wired to these terminals.

The Slant/Fin Indirect Tank heater operates in much the same way as an additional heating zone, either utilizing the same circulator as household heating or its own circulator. The heater temperature is maintained by the use of an immersion

A F well on the heater and secured by tightening the set screw or clamp.

9

The aquastat operates in much the same way as a thermostat. When the temperature falls inside the tank the set of contacts make (close) and when the temperature rises the contacts break (open).

The aquastat should be tied into the boiler system and controls. When the tank calls for heat the aquastat contacts close and signal the boiler controls, allowing the boiler to maintain temperature and proper operation of the tank

STEAM BOILER

Slant/Fin recommends the use of a priority control to help the boiler maintain desired temperature and satisfy the tank's

BTU requirements.

G

The Slant/Fin Indirect tank heater recovery ratings are based

D responsible for installing the heater, make certain that the boiler capacity (BTU) is adequate to satisfy the heater's BTU requirements.

E

C

NOTE: When installing the ????????? Indirect Water Heater with a steam boiler, the water flow (direction) is reversed through the tank coil (heat exchanger). The boiler water enters at the bottom of the coil and exits from the top of the coil. At no time should live steam be used in the tank coil (heat exchanger).

DANGER

Water temperature over 125˚F. can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.

Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.

See instruction manual before setting temperature at water heater.

Feel water before bathing or showering.

VI MAINTENANCE

To ensure efficient and safe operation, Slant/Fin recommends the servicing of the heater by a competent service technician.

Lime or Sediment Buildup (Every 6 months)

To reduce the buildup of lime or sediment it is recommended that the tank be flushed every six months.

1. Drain the tank through the drain valve at the bottom of the tank until the water is clear.

2. Inspect the tank for any deposits of lime or sediment.

3. Remove lime, scale or deposits using care not to damage the tank lining.

Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (Every 12 months)

1. Before manually testing theT & P valve, make sure the valve is piped in a manner that will not cause harm or damage any surrounding area.

2. Manually open the relief valve and allow it to flush out any lime or sediment deposits.

3. Allow the relief valve to snap shut, making sure the seal closes properly.

Magnesium - Anti-Corrosion Anodes (No longer than every 12 months)

The Water Heater is provided with two magnesium anti-corrosion anodes, an upper and a bottom anode.

Assessment of the condition of the bottom anode can be made by judging the condition of the upper anode.

Removal of the anodes:

1. Shut off all power to the heater.

2. Close the domestic cold water supply valve.

3. Open the household hot water taps.

4. Attach a hose to the drain valve located at the bottom of the heater and allow the heater to drain.

5. Unscrew the anodes. (Two shiny 1-1/4" Hex Heads on front of tank.)

EXAMINE THE ANODES AND REPLACE IF THE DIAME-

TER IS LESS THAN .40 inches.

6. Replacement of the Anodes -- The use or P.T.F.E. tape is recommended to ensure watertight connection of the anodes.

Failure to inspect the anodes may result in premature failure of the heater.

WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR COMMERCIAL USAGE - (THREE YEARS)

The warranties listed in this section shall apply to Slant/Fin Corp. indirect-fired water heaters used in a commercial setting by original consumer purchasers only. A “commercial setting” as used herein shall mean any usage not falling within the above definition of a “residential setting”.

An indirect-fired water heater shall be deemed to be used in a “commercial setting” if at any time it is operated at a temperature above 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

If at the time of a request for service the original business purchaser cannot provide a copy of the original sales receipt, installation bill, or equivalent document, then the warranty period for the indirect-fired water heater shall be five (3) years from the date of manufacture of the indirect-fired water heater as determined by the tank serial number.

REPLACEMENT TANK - WARRANTY RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL APPLICATION

For either a residential or commercial application, the following applies to both when a replacement tank is provided for a tank found to be under warranty. The replacement tank warranty assumes the remaining warranty period left from the original tank purchased.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY EITHER OF THESE WARRANTIES

These warranties are void and shall not apply under the following circumstances:

1. The water heater was not installed or repaired by a heating contractor whose principal occupation is the sale, installation and repair of plumbing, heating and/or air conditioning equipment.

2. These warranties cannot be considered as a guarantee of workmanship of an installer connected with the installation of the water heater, or as imposing on Slant/Fin Corp. liability of any nature for unsatisfactory performance as result of faulty workmanship in the installation or repair which liability is expressly disclaimed.

3. The failure or malfunction results from improper or negligent operation, abuse, misuse or maintenance or unauthorized alteration.

4. Malfunctions resulting from, or repairs necessitated by, uses of the indirect-fired water heater for purposes other than that for which it was designed, or resulting from flood, fire, wind, lightning, freezing or any other natural disaster or act of God, an act of destruction, theft or accident.

5. The original serial number on the indirect-fired water heater or component thereof cannot be readily determined.

6. Any indirect-fired water heater is installed in a setting containing any type of water softener system that is not installed and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

7. The indirect-fired water heater is used for non-potable applications such as pool or process heating.

8. The failure or malfunction results from failure to keep the tank full of potable water, free to circulate at all times and with the tank free of damaging water sediment or scale deposits.

9. Components of an indirect-fired water heater which are not defective, but must be replaced during the warranty period as a result of reasonable wear and tear.

10. Indirect-fired water heaters which are repaired or altered without prior written approval of Slant/Fin Corp. so as to affect adversely their reliability.

11. Slant/Fin Corp. indirect-fired water heaters installed outside of the United States and Canada.

12. Service calls not involving any malfunction or defects and maintenance in the ordinary course.

13. Components of an indirect-fired water heater which are not manufactured expressly for Slant/Fin Corp.; such components are subject only to those warranties, if any, given by their manufacturers. Slant/Fin Corp. does not adopt and has no responsibility for those warranties.

14. Any tank that does not have installed a new temperature and pressure relief valve bearing the American Society of Mechanical

Engineers (A.S.M.E.) listing at the time of installation.

FURTHER LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES

These warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

These are the only written warranties applicable to Slant/Fin Corp. indirect-fired water heaters manufactured for and sold by Slant/Fin

Corp.. Slant/Fin Corp. neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with said indirect-fired water heaters.

This warranty does not cover expenses or labor for disassembly, removal, shipment reassembly

or reinstallation; the original purchaser will be responsible for such costs. Slant/Fin Corp.’s performance under these warranties may be contingent on shipment of components or equipment from suppliers. Slant/Fin Corp. shall not be liable for any failure or delay in delivery due to any cause beyond its control including without limitation, strike, labor stoppage, a natural disaster (such as earthquake, flood, fire or storm), political insurrection or the unavailability of components, equipment or supplies.
