INSTALLATION

REQUIRED ABILITY

Installation  and  service  of  the  HPWH  unit  requires  ability 

equivalent  to  that  of  a  qualified  agency  in  the  field  involved. 

Plumbing,  ducting  and  electrical  work  are  required.  See 

Qualifications on page 6.

GENERAL

The  installation  must  conform  with  these  instructions  and  the 

local code authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of local 

codes,  the  installation  must  comply  with  the  latest  editions  of 

the  National  Electrical  Code,  ANSI/NFPA  70  or  the  Canadian 

Electrical  Code  CSA  C22.1.  The  National  Electrical  Code 

may  be  ordered  from:  National  Fire  Protection  Association,  1 

Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269. The Canadian Electrical 

Code  is  available  from  the  Canadian  Standards  Association, 

8501 East Pleasant Valley Road, Cleveland, OH 44131.

DO NOT

 start the HPWH unit or test the electrical system before 

it is connected to the water system, purged of air and filled with 

water. See Start Up on page 23.
See  Features  And  Components  on  page  8  to  identify  the 

principal components of the HPWH.

REQUIRED TOOLS AND MATERIALS

INSTALLATION & START UP TOOLS

1.  All tools common to installation and service of commercial 

electric  water  heaters  such  as  hand  tools,  pipe  cutter  and  

torch.

2.  Heat  transfer  compound  (paste)  such  as  Honeywell  part 

number 107408 or equivalent.

3.  Electrical switch lock out device - used to secure disconnect 

switches/breaker panels while servicing.

4.  Electronic thermometer including:

•  Four (4) thermocouple sensors capable of measuring 

surface temperatures on water or refrigerant piping up to 

2 inch diameter.

•  Two (2) thermocouple sensors capable of measuring 

ambient air temperature.

•  Temperature range 32°F - 210°F (0°C - 100°C).

5.  Volt-Ohm Multi Meter - capable of measuring:

•  AC Voltage up to 600 VAC.
•  DC Voltage up to 24 VDC.
•  Ohms up to 2,000,000 ohms.
•  Continuity.

6.  AC amp meter - capable of measuring:

•  AC amperage up to 200 amps.

7.  Calculator.

SERVICE TOOLS

See  Qualifications  on  page  6  regarding  regulations  and 

certifications  required  under  Section  608  of  the  Clean Air Act 

before servicing the refrigeration circuit. 
1.  Refrigeration manifold gauges.
2.  Refrigeration charging scale.
3.  Refrigeration vacuum pump.
4.  Refrigerant recovery machine.
5.  Refrigerant reclamation storage tank.

UNIT PLACEMENT

Whether replacing existing water heating equipment or installing 

the HPWH in new construction, the following critical points must 

be observed: The HPWH unit:
1.  Must be installed indoors.
2.  Should be installed near a floor drain for condensate removal. 
3.  The  HPWH,  storage  tank  and  water  heater(s)  should  be 

located in an area where leakage will not result in damage 

to adjacent area or to lower floors in the building structure. 

4.  The  HPWH  unit  must  be  level  for  proper  condensate 

drainage. Shim the channel type skid base, pad or floor as 

necessary if levelling is required.

5.  Should  be  installed  close  to  the  point  of  major  hot  water 

usage and power supply.

6.  Should be located so that hot water piping and branch circuit 

wiring will be as short as possible.

CEILING SUSPENSION

Because warm air rises, a drop ceiling or suspended from ceiling 

configuration is preferred to take advantage of higher ambient 

temperatures. The HPWH may be suspended from the ceiling 

using a safe and properly designed support. The sides and top 

of the cabinet are not designed to support the weight of the unit. 

Do not attach straps or bars directly to the sides or top of the 

cabinet. If the HPWH is suspended, it must be supported from 

underneath.

Mounting Frame

The mounting frame must support the length, width, and weight 

of the HPWH unit. The weight of the HPWH unit must be evenly 

dispersed across the footing channels on the bottom of the unit. 

See Table 1 on page 9 for unit dimensions and weights.

NOTE

: A qualified engineer should design and size the structural 

components of the mounting frame and the appropriate hangers. 

Structural channels in a field-provided frame should be mounted 

perpendicular to the unit’s footing channels. The following critical 

points  must  be  observed  when  the  HPWH  unit  is  suspended 

from the ceiling:
1.  Hanging rods must not obstruct access doors.
2.  VIBRATION  ISOLATORS  ARE  REQUIRED

 to prevent 

transmission  of  mechanical  vibration  into  the  building 

structure. Selection of suitable isolators should be made by 

a qualified engineer.

3.  Installation must meet local seismic restraint requirements.

PAD MOUNTING

The  HPWH  may  be  pad  mounted.  Vibration  isolator  mounts 

MUST  BE  placed  between  the  unit  and  the  equipment  pad  to 

prevent  mechanical  vibration  transmitting  into  the  building 

structure. Selection of appropriate vibration isolators should be 

made by a qualified engineer. Unit must be level and elevated at 

least 6” above floor to avoid dust and debris from entering the unit 

and permit connection of the condensate trap. See Condensate 

Drain Line on page 18.
