CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This Chapter provides the descriptions and procedures necessary to unpack, inspect and install
AERCO RECON Water Heater Models RECON500 and RECON1000.
2.2 RECEIVING THE UNIT
Each RECON Water Heating System is shipped as a single crated unit. The shipping weight is
approximately 1000 pounds. The unit must be moved with the proper rigging equipment for
safety to avoid equipment damage. The unit should be completely inspected for evidence of
shipping damage and shipment completeness at the time of receipt from the carrier and before
the bill of lading is signed.
NOTE
AERCO is not responsible for lost or damaged freight. Each unit
has a Tip-N-Tell indicator on the outside of the crate. This
indicates if the unit has been turned on its side during shipment. If
the Tip-N-Tell indicator is tripped, do not sign for the shipment.
Note the information on the carrier’s paperwork and request a
freight claim and inspection by a claims adjuster before
proceeding. Any other visual damage to the packaging materials
should also be made clear to the delivering carrier.
2.3 UNPACKING
Carefully unpack the unit taking care not to damage the unit enclosure when cutting away
packaging materials
After unpacking, closely inspect the unit to make sure there is no evidence of damage not
indicated by the Tip-N-Tell indicator. Notify the freight carrier immediately if any damage is
detected.
The following accessories come standard with each unit and are either packed separately within
the unit’s shipping container or are factory installed on the unit:
 Supply Manifold
 ASME Pressure and Temperature Relief Valve
 Condensate Drain Trap
 1 1/4” Gas Supply Shutoff Valve
If the RECON Water Heater is equipped for use with the AERCO Water Heater Management
(WHM) system, an actuator-controlled ball valve must be ordered as a separate line item.
When optional accessories are ordered, they may be packed within the unit’s shipping
container, factory installed on the unit, or packed and shipped in a separate container. Any
standard or optional accessories shipped loose should be identified and stored in a safe place
until ready for installation or use.
