Installation In addition to using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot water needs, a means such as a mixing valve, should be used at hot water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Follow manufacturer’s instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory setting on the thermostat see table below. Using the lowest hot water temperature that meets your needs will also pr

For Storage Tank System Installation CAUTION - PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD The storage tank should be located in an area Figure “1” where leakage of the tank or connections will not result in damage to the area adjacent to the storage tank or to lower floors of the structure. Due to the normal corrosive action of the water, the tank will eventually leak after an extended period of time. Also Storage Tank any external plumbing leak, including those from improper installation, may cause early fa

For Storage Tank System Installation Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve For protection against excessive pressures and temperatures, a temperature and pressure relief valve must be installed in the opening on the on-demand storage tank. This valve must be design certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic inspection of the production of listed equipment or materials as meeting the requirements for Releif Valves for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22

Water analysis shows whether water is hard or soft. Hard water, unless treated, will cause scaling or liming of the heat exchanger. The rate of scaling increases with temperature and usage because calcium carbonate and other scaling compounds lose solubility (fall out of solu

Pump Sizing for Circulation 1. Use the chart below or one appropriate for your conditions to determine the heat loss in the length of the hot water supply and return piping. For example, 100 ft of 1-1/2 in bare copper tubing results in a heat loss of 5300 Btu/h. Approximate Heat Loss from Piping at 140 ºF Inlet, 70 ºF Ambient * Nominal Size, in.

Tank Water Heaters in a Circulation Loop The following applies when using a tank water heater (gas or electric) to provide heat for a circulation loop. Drawing H-1-RP is an example. The heat output of the tank must be equal to or greater than the calculated circulation loop heat loss. (Reference page 5, Step 1 on calculating heat loss). Electric Tank Water Heater Since the input and output are the same for an electric tank water heater, this can be expressed as: Electric Tank Input (Kw

Table “C” Pump Sizing for Storage Tank Application The following applies when using on-demand water heaters to recover a storage tank. Drawing H-1-TC is an example. On-Demand water heaters have a pressure loss which must be considered in the system design. Reference the pressure loss curve for the heater model being used to determine the pump size for the desired recovery rate. For recommended pump sizes use the table below. Additional pressure losses in plumbing
