Do not use this storage tank for anything other than its intended purpose (as described in this manual). Doing so could result in property damage and WILL VOID product warranty.
3 piping system as possible. Also, locate the storage tank and domestic water piping where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All piping should be insulated. Additionally, place the storage tank so that the drain, controls, and inlets/outlets are easily accessible.
This water heater must be installed upright in the vertical position as described in this manual. DO NOT attempt to install this water heater in any other orientation. Doing so will result in improper water heater operation and property damage, and could result in serious personal injury or death.
Ensure the location can support the entire filled weight of the storage tank. Failure to properly support the storage tank could result in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
UNCRATING THE STORAGE TANK - Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee.
A. When Servicing the Water Heating System
To avoid electric shock, disconnect electrical supply before performing maintenance.
To avoid severe burns, allow storage tank and associated equipment to cool before servicing.
B. System Water
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or sealing compounds in a water heating system. Gaskets and seals in the system may be damaged. This can result in substantial property damage.
Do not use “homemade cures” or “patent medicines”. Damage to the storage tank, substantial property damage, and/or serious personal injury may result.
C. Freeze Protection
NOTE: Consider piping and installation when determining tank location. Place the storage tank as close to the boiler as possible in a location not prone to freezing.
Failure of the storage tank due to freeze related damage IS
NOT covered by product warranty.
D. Water Temperature Adjustment
If the storage tank is going to have a set temperature above
120 o F, you must use an ASSE 1017 rated mixing valve to avoid severe burns or death from scalding temperatures.
Households with small children, disabled, or elderly persons may require a 120 o F or lower temperature setting to prevent severe personal injury or death due to scalding.
COLD WEATHER HANDLING - If the storage tank has been stored in a very cold location (BELOW 0 o F) before installation, handle with care until the components come to room temperature. Failure to do so could result in damage to the storage tank.
Locate the storage tank where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank, or connections will not result in damage to surrounding areas or lower floors of the building. The storage tank should be located near a floor drain or installed in a drain pan. Leakage damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.
NOTE: To save on heating costs and improve energy efficiency keep the distance between the boiler and storage tank to a minimum to reduce heat loss from excess piping and keep friction loss at a minimum. Ensure all piping between the boiler and storage tank is properly insulated to minimize heat loss.
The storage tank may be located some distance from the boiler provided the circulator meets flow requirements. The greater the distance from the boiler to the storage tank the longer the response will be to a call for hot water.
This storage tank must be installed vertical on a level surface.
NOTE: In the State of California, the water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid moving during an earthquake. Contact local utilities for code requirements in your area. Visit http://www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov or call 1-916-445-8100 and request instructions.
However, applicable local codes shall govern installation.
For residential water heaters of a capacity of greater than 52 gallons, consult the local building jurisdiction for acceptable bracing procedures.
NOTE: If you do not provide the minimum clearances shown in Figure 1, it might not be possible to service the storage tank without removing it from the space.
NOTE: A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front clearance.
Part 2 - Prepare the Storage Tank
Remove all sides of the shipping crate to allow the tank to be moved into its installation location.
A. Locating the Storage Tank
This storage tank is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT
INSTALL OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Choose a location for the storage tank as centralized to the
This storage tank must not be located near flammable liquids such as gasoline, butane, liquefied propane, adhesives, solvents, paint thinners, etc., as the controls of this storage tank could ignite these vapors and cause an explosion resulting in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.

4 further accelerate the build-up of lime scale and may shorten the service life of the storage tank.
Water that is classified as hard and very hard must be softened to avoid storage tank failure.
Figure 1 - Recommended Service Clearances
B. Water Chemistry Requirements
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the storage tank and associated equipment. HTP recommends having water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry be checked before installing the storage tank, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system. In addition, operating temperatures above 135 o F will further accelerate the build-up of lime scale and may shorten the service life of the storage tank.
Failure of a storage tank due to lime scale build-up, low pH, or other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.
Outlined below are water quality parameters that need to be met in order for the system to operate efficiently for many years.
Water Hardness
Water hardness is mainly due to the presence of calcium and magnesium salts dissolved in water. The concentration of these salts is expressed in mg/L, ppm, or grains per gallon as a measure of relative water hardness. Grains per gallon is the common reference used in the US water heater industry. Hardness expressed as mg/L or ppm may be divided by 17.1 to convert to grains per gallon. Water may be classified as very soft, slightly hard, moderately hard, or hard based on its hardness number.
The minerals in the water precipitate out as the water is heated and cause accelerated lime scale accumulation on a heat transfer surface. This lime scale build-up may result in premature failure of the storage tank. Operating temperatures above 135 o F will
CLASSIFICATION
Soft
Slightly Hard
Moderately Hard
Hard
Very Hard 180 and over 10.5 and over
If the hardness of the water exceeds the maximum level of 7 grains per gallon, the water should be softened to a hardness level no lower than 5 grains per gallon. Water softened as low as 0 to 1 grain per gallon may be under-saturated with respect to calcium carbonate, resulting in water that is aggressive and corrosive.
pH of Water pH is a measure of relative acidity, neutrality, or alkalinity.
Dissolved minerals and gases affect water pH. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Water with a pH of 7 is considered neutral.
Water with pH lower than 7 is considered acidic. water with a pH higher than 7 is considered alkaline. A neutral pH (around
7) is desirable for most potable water applications. Corrosion damage and tank failures resulting from water pH levels of lower than 6 or higher than 8 ARE NOT covered by
warranty. The ideal pH range for water used in a storage tank is 7.2 to 7.8.
Total Dissolved Solids
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is a measurement of all minerals and solids dissolved in a water sample. The concentration of
TDS is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm).
Water with a high TDS concentration will greatly accelerate lime and scale formation in the hot water system. Most high
TDS concentrations precipitate out of the water when heated.
This can generate a scale accumulation that will greatly reduce the service life of the storage tank.
The manufacturer of the storage tank has no control over water quality, especially TDS levels in your system. TDS in excess of 2000 ppm will accelerate lime and scale formation on the element or the heat exchanger. Storage tank failure due to TDS in excess of 2000 ppm IS NOT covered by warranty.
Failure of a storage tank due to lime scale build-up IS NOT covered by warranty.

When filling the storage tank, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping. Failure to do so could lead to improper operation and damage to components.
The use of heat, such as blow torches, near the tank may cause distortion to the high density polyethylene wrapper. Such damage is NOT covered by warranty. Exercise caution whenever using heat sources near tank.
Never use dielectric fittings or galvanized steel fittings on any domestic water connections. Use only copper or brass fittings. Failure to do so will result in premature storage tank failure. Such failure IS
NOT covered by warranty.

B. Tankless Coil Connections
Use a 3/4 ” nominal minimum pipe size.
On the tank, the tankless inlet is to be connected to a bronze or stainless steel circulator with the arrow pointing away from the tank and toward the tankless coil. This pipe will also have a tee for the cold supply to the tankless coil. (An optional check valve may be installed between the cold supply line and circulator to prevent short circulating the tankless coil. This may cause poor supply pressure, or noisy operation depending upon the type of installation.)
Figure 2 - Specifications and Dimensions
On the tank, tankless outlet, use both thread tape and pipe dope and connect a 3/4 ” (minimum) tube adapter and connect this to the hot tankless coil outlet on the boiler.

NOTE: For more information, see “Typical Installation”, page 8.
On all models, an appropriate temperature and pressure (T&P) valve must be supplied and installed as detailed in the piping diagrams in this installation manual.
Use both thread tape and pipe dope to install an NPT brass T&P relief valve for hot water storage tanks, as required by local codes but not less than valves certified as meeting the requirements for relief valves for hot water heaters (ANSI Z21.22 and CAN
1-4.4) by a nationally recognized lab that maintains periodic lp-32 Rev. 2.4.16
6 inspection of production listed equipment. Make sure the relief valve is sized to the BTU/Hour capacity of the boiler. The T&P valve must be plumbed down so discharge can exit at least 6” above the structural floor. The relief line cannot be in contact with any live electrical parts. If the relief valve constantly weeps install an expansion tank. See expansion tank manufacturer’s instructions for suggestions.
Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief valve line under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious injury, or death may result.
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 discharge line shall terminate plain, not threaded, with a material serviceable for temperatures of 375 o F or greater.
• Do not pipe discharge to any location where freezing could occur.
• No valve may be installed between the relief valve and heater 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, immediately replace with a new properly rated relief valve.
• Test T&P valve at least once annually to ensure the waterway is clear. If valve does not operate, turn the heater “off” and call a plumber immediately.
• Take care whenever operating relief valve to avoid scalding injury or property damage.
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.
RE-INSPECTION OF T&P RELIEF VALVES: T&P valves should be inspected AT LEAST ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS, and
replaced if necessary, by a licensed plumbing contractor or qualified service technician to ensure that the product has not been affected by corrosive water conditions and to ensure that the valve and discharge line have not been altered or tampered with illegally. Certain naturally occuring conditions may corrode the valve and its components over time, rendering the valve inoperative. Such conditions can only be detected if the valve and its components are physically removed and inspected.
Do not attempt to conduct an inspection on your own.
Contact your plumbing contractor for a re-inspection to assure continued safety.
FAILURE TO RE-INSPECT THE T&P VALVE AS DIRECTED
COULD RESULT IN UNSAFE TEMPERATURE AND/OR
PRESSURE BUILD-UP WHICH CAN RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH.
E. Potable Expansion Tank
A potable hot water expansion tank may be required to offset heated water expansion. If there is a back flow preventer or any other type of no return or check valve in the system a thermal expansion tank IS MANDATORY. The expansion tank must be sized for the entire water volume of the hot water system. A weeping relief valve indicates the need for an expansion tank.
See the Typical Expansion Tank example in the Piping section for details.
F. Scalding
A water heating system can deliver scalding water. Be careful whenever using hot water to avoid scalding injury. Certain appliances such as dishwashers and automatic clothes washers may require increased water t e m p e r a t u r e s .
By setting the thermostat to obtain the increased water temperature required by these appliances you may create the potential for scald injury.
To protect against injury, install a mixing valve in the water system. This valve will reduce point of use discharge temperatures by mixing cold and hot water in branch supply lines. Such valves are available from your local plumbing supplier.
Table 3 details the relationship of water temperature and time with regard to scald injury and may be used as a guide in determining the safest water temperature for your applications.

PIPING NOTES:
The following notes are applicable to all of the piping applications demonstrated on this page.
1. Check valves are optional. Circulators may have Internal Flow Checks (IFCs).
2. If a backflow preventer or no return valve is installed a thermal expansion tank suitable for potable water must be sized and installed on the cold water inlet between the storage tank and the backflow preventer.
Part 4 - Control and Wiring
A. Control
A pre-wired surface mount thermostatic control is provided on your storage tank. Temperature may be set by removing lower cover screw and lower cover. has been provided for accurate temperature adjustment.
B. Wiring
Wiring is to be done in accordance with all applicable local and state codes. Turn off all power related to the water heating system before starting any wiring procedures. It is recommended that a disconnect switch be installed between the boiler control and the storage tank.
Part 5 - Start-Up and Operation
1. Fill the storage tank by opening the cold water shut-off valve.
Make certain any drain valves are completely closed. Purge air from the system by opening a hot water outlet at a fixture in a kitchen or bathroom. When water flows freely from the outlet, the system is purged.
When filling the storage tank, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping to ensure proper storage tank operation.
Failure to ensure the storage tank is full before turning on the system could result in damage to the water heating system and property damage. Such damages ARE NOT covered by warranty.
2. Check the system for leaks.
When wiring the controls be sure to label all wires to ease future maintenance. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.
C. Wiring Diagram
Fix any leaks before continuing the installation. Failure to do so could result in property damage or personal injury.
3. After ensuring there are no leaks within the system, flush the system to clear any soldering residue. Many soldering fluxes contain Zinc Chloride, which can corrode stainless steel.
Draw at least three times the volume of the storage tank to properly flush the system.
4. Initiate a call for hot water. Ensure each zone valve or circulator operates only when its thermostat calls for heat. Purge each zone of air to ensure proper operation.
Figure 5 - Wiring the Control lp-32 Rev. 2.4.16
8
5. Set the storage tank to the desired temperature. Boiler high limit should be set at least 20 o F higher than the storage tank temperature setting. Set the low limit of the control at the minimum setting - this will call the burner on only to satisfy the tank control.
A storage tank temperature setting of 120 o F is recommended.
However, a lower temperature setting may be required to comply with local and state codes for normal operation. Installation conditions may require a higher or lower temperature setting.
A mixing valve in conjunction with a high temperature setting may be used for high demand applications (spas, hot tubs, whirlpools).
6. When the system is completely flushed, purged of air, and the temperature is set, turn on the water heating system. Observe operation. Ensure the boiler shuts down after the storage tank set point is satisfied.
Figure 6 - Sealing the Water Heater for Sanitary Applications
Part 6 - Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Periodic maintenance should be performed by a qualified service technician to ensure all equipment is operating safely and efficiently. The owner should make necessary arrangements with a qualified heating contractor for periodic maintenance of the water heating system. Installer must also inform the owner that the lack of proper care and maintenance may result in hazardous conditions.
