SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION loCa TIon The indirect water heater should be located in a central location to the piping system, as close as practical to the boiler and in an area not subject to freezing temperatures. Leave sufficient space for servicing and maintaining the indirect water heater. NOTICE: Long heating supply runs can lengthen recovery times. WaTer Trea TmenT/fIl Tra TIon In areas where poor water conditions are suspected (i.e. lime, iron, and other minerals), it is essential

SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION (cont .) anode rods The anode rod is used as a sacrificial element within the volume of the storage tank. The purpose of the magnesium anode rod is to protect the inside of the tank against corrosion. Anode rods should be inspected twice in the first year and at least yearly once a time interval for inspection has been developed. Water conditions can influence the consumption rate of the anode rods. Please see the Maintenance section of this manual for ins

SECTION III: PRE-INSTALLATION boIler and CIrCula Tor sIzIng The ratings published in this manual for your Rheem indirect water heater can be obtained through proper selection of boiler output and circulator capacity. As noted, the ratings in Table 2 are based on a 77°F rise with 58°F potable water inlet temperature at a circulator pump flow rate of 8 GPM. The boiler was set at 180°F. See Table 3 for additional first hour ratings at pump flow rates of 6, 8, 10 and 12 GPM with 180°F and 200

SECTION IV: INSTALLATION WaTer ConneCTIons All piping between the boiler and the indirect water heater should be new copper with a minimum size of 3/4” ID for models STID30, STID40, and STID50. Use 1” minimum copper for models STID80 and STID120. Elbows should be minimized. A flow check valve must be installed on the return line. All piping to the inlet (cold) and outlet (hot) domestic water connections should be new copper with a minimum size of 1/2” ID for models STID30, STID40, an

SECTION V: MAINTENANCE WaTer pIpIng On an annual basis, all piping should be checked for leakage at joints, shut-off valves, and unions. T&p relIef al v ve On an annual basis, the temperature and pressure relief valve should be checked for proper operation. First, attach a drain line to the valve to direct the water discharge to an open drain. This is very important because the temperature of the discharge could be very hot. Second, lift the lever at the end of the valve several times. T
