1. GENERAL
Eemax® offers thermostatic, thermostatic with an integrated mixing valve, and non-thermostatic tankless electric water heaters.
NOTICE: LavAdvantage and FloCo models are tested @ 125 deg. per Department of Energy (DOE) 10CFR Part 430, Energy
Conservation Program for Consumer Products.
To obtain optimum performance and energy savings, the water heater should be located as close as possible to the point-of-use. The
unit is supplied with compression rings and nuts suitable for direct coupling to 3/8” copper or PEX™ piping. Do not use additional
screwed fittings, pipe dope or teflon tape – doing so will void the warranty. DO NOT SOLDER PIPES WHILE THE UNIT IS INSTALLED as
serious damage to the heater will result and the warranty will be voided.
LavAdvantage™, thermostatic heaters are designed to accept cold or preheated water and heat it to temperatures suitable for
normal domestic usage up to a maximum temperature setpoint of 140°F. Models featuring the “S” option can be used as a
temperature booster for sanitation applications up to maximum temperature setpoint of 180°F. “ML” option units are factory set to
a maximum temperature setpoint of 110°F and are recommended for multi-lavatory handwashing applications – refer to section 2
for supplied aerator details. The “EE” option units are factory set to a maximum temperature setpoint of 90°F, making them suitable
for emergency eyewash applications.
AccuMix II™, thermostatic heaters with an integrated mixing valve, are designed to take in cold water and heat it to temperatures
suitable for handwashing and other mild temperature uses up to a factory preset of 105°F. The heaters are also equipped with an
ASSE 1070-2004 approved mixing valve to meet UPC 407.3 and similar plumbing codes for public handwashing applications.
NOTICE for testing – The Accumix II models have been tested and rated in accordance with the Department of Energy 10 CFR 430
Subpart B Appendix E for Uniform Energy Factor requirements. During the testing, to achieve and maintain a water temperature of
125° F, the mixing valve was fully opened. THIS IS NOT AN ADJUSTMENT THAT IS TO BE MADE BY THE END-USER. The Accumix II
models are preset at the factory to 105° F and the mixing valve is locked to ensure compliance with ASSE 1070 standard and to
specifically limit delivered water temperatures. This notice is strictly for informational purposes intended for laboratory testing.
FlowCo™, non-thermostatic heaters, are designed to take in cold water and heat it to temperatures suitable for handwashing and
other fixed-flow applications.
2. MOUNTING THE UNIT TO THE WALL
The heater should be mounted on the wall under the sink, as close to the point-of-use as possible. Ideal position is fittings
pointed down; however, the heater may be mounted in any orientation.
Note: a logo decal has been provided to ensure branding is clearly displayed in any mounting orientation.
THIS HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED IN A LOCATION WHERE IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO FREEZING
TEMPERATURES.
