SuperStor Contender Indirect Fired Water Heater INSTALLATION START-UP MAINTENANCE PARTS Models SSC-35 / SSC-50 / SSC-80 / SSC-119 This manual must only be used by a qualified heating installer/service technician. Read all instructions in this manual before installing. Perform steps in the order given. Failure to comply could result in substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
The following defined terms are used throughout this manual to bring attention to the presence of hazards of various risk levels, or to important product information. DANGER indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. WARNING indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
TABLE OF CONTENTS PART 1 – GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION ..........................................................................................................................3 A. PRECAUTIONS .......................................................................................................................................................................... 3 B. WHEN SERVICING THE WATER HEATING SYSTEM ....................................................................................................
NOTE: If the heater is exposed to the following, do not operate until all corrective steps have been made by a qualified serviceman: 1. FIRE 2. DAMAGE 3. WATER Any claims for damage or shortage in shipment must be filed immediately against the transportation company by the consignee. o o High heat sources (sources generating heat 100 F / 37 C or greater, such as stove pipes, space heaters, etc.) may damage plastic components of the water heater as well as plastic vent pipe materials.
A. SPECIFICATIONS AND PERFORMANCE RATINGS Figure 1 – Specifications and Dimensions B. PERFORMANCE AND SIZING GUIDELINES Determine the amount of domestic hot water needed, then use the chart below to optimize water heater against boiler sizing. o MODEL SSC-35 SSC-50 SSC-80 SSC-119 Table 1 GROSS BOILER OUTPUT 53,000 86,000 91,000 108,000 140 F o 90 F ΔT 112 190 198 268 o 127 F o 77 F ΔT 125 213 221 300 o 115 F o 65 F ΔT 152 258 270 364 LP-65 Rev. 3.24.
NOTE: Above chart is based on boiler size conforming to the minimum BTU/H required to achieve first hour ratings. The mass of the boiler will affect recovery time. More boiler mass equals longer recovery time. C. LOCATING THE WATER HEATER This water heater is certified for indoor use only. DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS. Outdoor installations ARE NOT covered by warranty. Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping system as possible.
NOTE: Do not remove the anode rod from an operating water heater. Operating the water heater without the anode rod will shorten the life of the tank and VOID the warranty. E. WATER CHEMISTRY REQUIREMENTS Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the water heater and associated equipment. HTP recommends having water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to install a water softener.
Sodium: 20 mGL PART 3 – HEATER PIPING A. PLUMBING It is mandatory that all plumbing be done in accordance with federal, local, and state plumbing codes and practices. Failure to properly install the water heater WILL VOID the warranty. It is also necessary to use both thread tape and pipe dope on all mechanical plumbing connections. When filling the water heater, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping. Failure to do so could lead to improper water heater operation. B.
D. SCALDING This heater 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 temperature. By setting the thermostat on this heater to obtain the increased water temperature required by these appliances, you may create the potential for scald injury.
F. HOT WATER OUTLET Use both thread tape and pipe dope to connect an NPT male x ¾” (minimum) pipe adapter. A shut off valve between the hot water supply and tank outlet is recommended for ease of service at a later date. Use a backflow preventer specifically designed for water heater installations. This valve should be installed on the cold water fill supply line per local codes. Dielectric fittings must be used on water heater connections.

PART 4 – HEATER CONTROL AND WIRING A. CONTROL A surface mounted control is provided and mounted inside of the control access compartment. There is an insulation blanket under the o control access cover to ensure accurate readings of water temperature. The control is factory set at 120 F for your safety (see scald o o danger warning below). The differential is fixed at 3 to 5 (not adjustable). B. WIRING Wiring is to be done in accordance with all applicable local and state codes.
RELIEF AND DRAIN VALVE Relief Valve Lift and release the relief valve on the water heater. Make certain that the valve operates properly by allowing several gallons to flush through the discharge line. Replace if valve is blocked or does not operate properly. NOTE: DISCHARGED WATER MAY PRESENT A SCALD RISK. TAKE CAUTION WHEN OPERATING RELIEF VALVE. Drain Valve Open the drain valve and drain a few quarts of water from the bottom of the tank to flush any hard water deposits.
When raising tank temperature, the risk of scald injury increases. To avoid scald injury, use a water tempering or mixing valve and extreme caution when using hot water. Consult codes for conformance. LP-65 Rev. 3.24.
