Product & Safety Information Phase III® DANGER Following terms are used to bring attention to the presence of various risk levels, or to important information concerning product life. Hot Water Can Scald! • Water temperatures over 125ºF can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalding. • Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded. • Never leave them unattended in or near shower, bathtub or sink.
Pre-Installation Phase III® safe by the FDA shall be used in the heat transfer medium. Codes Compliance Water heater installation must conform with the instructions in this manual and where applicable: • local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations and ordinances. • in Canada - CAN / CGA B149.1 or B149.2 Installation Code. Other heat exchanger designs may be permitted where approved by the Administrative Authority.
Pre-Installation Phase III® Recommended Clearances • Water heater should be installed to allow adequate clearance for servicing • • Zero clearance is permissible to either side of the TR and SMART Series water heater, but information labels may be hidden. • Recommended top or vertical clearance is 12” minimum.
Installation Phase III® Temperature & Pressure (T&P) Relief Valve NOTICE CAUTION Phase III® commercial water heaters will absorb less than 200,000 BTU/hr when domestic water outlet temperature is 210ºF and boiler water supply temperature is 240ºF. Listed outputs are based on ASME Section VIII Interpretation VIII-1-86-136. Check with local codes for applicability.
Installation Phase III® T&P Relief Valve Discharge Piping Commonwealth of Massachusetts Installation T&P relief valve discharge piping must be: • - made of material serviceable for temperatures of 250ºF or greater. Insert an open-end dip tube into the Auxiliary connection on top of water heater. • - directed so that hot water flows away from all persons. Install a 3/4” NPT elbow to the Auxiliary connection (Figure 3).
Installation Phase III® General Piping Water Hammer Dishwashers, clothes washers and fast-closing positive shut-off valves incorporated in the system all contribute to creating water shock. Install a water hammer arrester to prevent damage to pipes and appliances. See device manufacturer’s instructions for application and installation. • For domestic water piping diagrams, see page 8 thru 10. • See pages 11 through 14 for: - Boiler water piping - Multiple water heater domestic and boiler piping.
Installation Phase III® hot and cold water fittings from corrosion when connecting dissimilar materials such as copper and galvanized iron pipe. • If copper pipe is used for domestic water connections, first solder pipe to a threaded adapter and then screw adapter into cold water inlet on top of water heater. Inlet contains an internal plastic dip tube which can be damaged by heat from soldering. Do not apply heat to the cold water inlet when making sweat connections to water heater.

Water Heater Start-Up Phase III® Filling the Inner (Domestic Water) Tank NOTICE CAUTION • Never use water heater unless inner and outer tanks are completely filled with water. • Inner tank must be completely filled and pressurized before pressurizing outer tank. For proper operation of the water heater, always leave vent cap unscrewed one full turn. 6. If antifreeze is used in boiler water, check concentration.
Water Heater Start-Up Phase III® General Notes DANGER • Household water usage patterns will affect water temperature at any faucet or shower. Occasionally check temperature at each point of use, then adjust thermostat accordingly. Always recheck temperature after adjusting thermostat. • When hot water is used in repeated small quantities, a “stacking” effect can develop in the water heater. The upper layer of water in tank can be hotter than lower layer.
Water Heater Start-Up Phase III® Adjusting the Water Heater Thermostat • Check water temperature at a hot water faucet immediately after first heating cycle. Further temperature adjustment may be necessary as water heating system is used. Recheck water temperature at faucet after adjustment. • When adjusting thermostat, be sure boiler limit control is set a minimum of 20ºF higher. Water heater thermostat is factory set to its lowest temperature. This may or may not be suitable for your needs.
Water Heater Maintenance Phase III® Review homeowner’s maintenance responsibilities and their frequencies, including any not listed in the following section. Maintenance Schedule Annual service by qualified service technician should include the following: Homeowner monthly maintenance to include: Any procedure required by local codes. Check air vent operation. Check air vent operation. Verify system pressure.
Water Heater Maintenance Phase III® 2. Close system supply isolation valve. WARNING 3. Connect a hose to domestic water drain valve at cold water inlet. Hose should extend to drain at floor level to allow siphoning of domestic water tank. Do not use automotive, ethylene glycol or petroleum-based antifreeze. Do not use any undiluted antifreeze. This can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage. 4. Open hot water faucet at highest point above heater. 5.
