Peerless® Partner® Indirect-Fired Water Heater Installation, Operation & Maintenance Manual
Product Selection 1. The following guidelines apply to residential systems only. For commercial or institutional installations contact your local PB Heat, LLC representative. 2. Determine the quantity of domestic hot water required. Factors to consider: a. Estimate typical peak hour demand. Determine the general time of day (morning, noon, evening) when the most hot water is used. Use chart below to determine potential maximum usage.
d. Boiler. PP-80, PP-120, PP-80-DW, and PP-120-DW require full boiler output listed in Table 1. If boiler is a condensing boiler, such as Peerless® Pinnacle®, the above Peerless® Partner® models can be used with reduced boiler output. If boiler output is less than shown in Table 1 reduce first hour rating as shown in Table 2. Increase boiler size only if first hour rating does not meet estimated peak hour usage.

4. Peerless Partner(s) may be located adjacent to boiler to reduce piping heat loss or central to points of use to reduce response time to fixtures. a. Install indoors in an area not exposed to freezing temperatures. Do not install outdoors. b. Position with adequate clearance for service and maintenance. Provide access to thermostat, temperature and pressure relief valve, and drain valve. c.
2. Domestic Water a. Cold Water In. Install brass tee and drain valve (not provided). Install shutoff valve between water supply and cold water inlet for ease of service. See Figure 1. For systems using a back flow preventer or no return valve, install a thermal expansion tank between cold water supply and valve to offset expansion/pressure increase as water is heated. See Figure 2. b. Standard Domestic Hot Water Out. Install brass tee and temperature and pressure relief valve.
Figure 5: Installation of Multiple Water Heaters as Single Unit Figure 6: Unfired Storage Tank Electrical 1. The Peerless Partner must be electrically grounded in accordance with local codes. In the absence of local codes follow the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70. 2. Install thermostat provided with Peerless Partner. Insert bulb into immersion well. Secure to well by tightening screws on case. 3. Wire Peerless Partner thermostat to boiler.
b. DE/PSC. Provide zone control as shown in boiler’s installation instructions. c. WBV/EC/SC. Water less tankless heater. See Figure 8. Figure 8: Wiring Diagram – WBV/WV, WV-DV, EC, PRO and SC less Tankless Start-up 1. General a. Open hot water faucet when filling or draining Peerless Partner. b. The Peerless Partner thermostat has three markings: Warm (120°F), Normal (140°F), and Hot (160°F). The thermostat is adjusted to its lowest temperature position when shipped from the factory. 2.
Maintenance 1. General Housekeeping (continuous). Keep area clear of gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids. Controls on this appliance could ignite vapors causing an explosion. 2. Clean Inside of Tank (monthly). a. Mark temperature setting on Peerless Partner thermostat. Set thermostat to lowest setting. b. Close cold water inlet shutoff valve. Open a hot water faucet. c. Open drain valve. Allow water to flow until free of sediment. Close drain valve. d. Open cold water inlet shutoff valve.
v. Water temperature will remain constant within ±5°F until storage is exhausted. Continue to fill container until temperature drops 10°F. vi. Compare total volume of water collected to Usable Hot Water in Table 1. If within 5 gallons the Peerless Partner is operating properly. Check PRODUCT SELECTION for proper model usage. vii. Compare calculated flow rate with first draw usage available per Table 3.
