The list below represents some of the most critical installation 

requirements that, when overlooked, often result in operational 

problems,  down  time  and  needless  parts  replacement.  This 

is  not  a  complete  list.  Before  performing  any  troubleshooting 

procedures  use  the  list  below  to  check  for  installation  errors. 

Costs  to  correct  installation  errors  are  not  covered  under  the 

limited  warranty.  Ensure  all  installation  requirements  and 

instructions in this manual have been followed. 

LOCATION

1.  Ensure  the  HPWH  is  located  where  there  is  a  adequate 

supply of ambient heat for optimal performance or that the 

HPWH is ducted to such a location.

2.  Ensure  required  clearances  are  maintained  and  there  is 

access for servicing. See Clearances on page 11.

3.  Ensure  the  HPWH  is  properly  supported.  See  Ceiling 

Suspension and Pad Mounting on page 16.

AIR FLOW & DUCTING

4.  Ensure  all  supply  and  return  ductwork  connected  to  the 

HPWH  is  properly  sized,  does  not  exceed  maximum 

equivalent length requirements and is installed according to 

the instructions in this manual. See Air Flow and Ducting on 

page 19. 

5.  Ensure  all  supply  duct  work  is  insulated  to  prevent 

condensation from forming on the ductwork. 

6.  Ensure  all  return  air  duct  is  insulated  if  the  return  air 

temperatures  are  expected  to  fall  below  the  surrounding 

room air temperature during normal operation.

WATER PIPING

7.  Ensure  the  outlet  (supply)  and  inlet  (return)  water  piping 

connected  to  the  HPWH  are  not  less  than  the  connection 

size on the unit. See Table 1 on page 9.

8.  Ensure  swing-type  check  valves  (not  spring-loaded  types) 

are  installed  on  outlet  lines  of  all  heat  pumps  plumbed  in 

parallel to prevent hot water short-circuiting.

9.  When the HPWH is connected to a storage tank ensure the 

storage  tank  is  equipped  with  a  properly  rated  and  sized 

Temperature  and  Pressure  (T&P)  relief  valve.  Refer  to  the 

storage tank manufacturer’s instructions for T&P valve sizing 

and installation requirements. 

NOTE:

  This  is  a  critical  installation  requirement  that  must 

not  be  overlooked.  Call  the  toll  free  technical  support 

phone number on the back cover of this manual for further 

assistance.

10. 

DO NOT 

install a T&P valve in the outlet (supply) water line 

of the HPWH unless required by local code.

11. Ensure  the  maximum  lengths  of  25  equivalent  feet  of 

supply piping and 25 equivalent feet of return piping are not 

exceeded on HPWH units equipped with a factory installed 

circulation pump. Exceeding these lengths will cause the unit 

to malfunction and/or the control system to lock out.

12. Ensure  isolation  valves  are  installed  on  the  HPWH  supply 

and  return  water  line  at  the  storage  tank  for  servicing  and  

purging the air from the HPWH during start-up.

13. Ensure the cold water supply is not connected directly to or 

Tee fitted to the inlet water line on the HPWH. See the Service 

and Installation Notes for Inlet & Outlet Water Temperature 

on page 10. See Figure 7 and Figure 8 on page 18.

14. On  two  tank  preheat  piping  configurations  ensure  the  cold 

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

22

water supply is not connected to the back up water heater.

15. Connect  building  recirculation  loop  piping  to  the  backup 

water heater inlet on two tank preheat piping configurations. 

16. Ensure the building recirculation loop pump is controlled by a 

field supplied line thermostat and that it stops the pump when 

the recirculation line is hot. See Building Recirculation Pump 

Wiring Diagram on page 4

.

17. When  the  HPWH  unit  is  installed  above  the  storage  tank 

install a Tee fitting at a high point in the outlet water line with 

a purge valve to bleed air during start up.

18. Though  not  required,  the  manufacturer  recommends 

installing a strainer at the inlet water line on the HPWH to help 

prevent scale build up in the heat exchanger. Service costs to 

clear blockages from the HPWH unit’s heat exchanger due to 

debris are not covered under the limited warranty.

CONDENSATE DRAIN

19. Ensure there is a water trap installed in the condensate line 

at the HPWH. Condensate will not drain without a water trap.

20. Ensure  the  condensate  drain  is  properly  connected  to 

the  HPWH  and  draining  freely  to  a  suitable  floor  drain  or 

condensate lift pump that discharges condensate to a remote 

location. See Condensate Drain Line on page 18.

ELECTRICAL

21. BEFORE ENERGIZING THE UNIT ensure the power supply 

voltage and phase matches the requirements on the HPWH 

rating  label.  Damage  resulting  from  applying  the  wrong 

voltage or phase is not covered under the limited warranty.

22. On HPWH units connected to 208 VAC power supplies ensure 

the  transformer  has  been  properly  configured.  Damage 

caused  by  failure  to  configure  the  transformer  properly  is 

not  covered  under  the  limited  warranty.  See  Transformer 

Configuration 208 VAC Models on page 17.

23. Ensure  the  power  supply  breaker

 or

 

the 

fuses  disconnect 

switch are  within  the 

requirements for the unit as shown on

the 

HPWH rating label.

24. Ensure the power supply wiring meets the MCA (Minimum 

Circuit Ampacity) requirements shown in this manual and on 

the HPWH rating label.

25. Ensure  the  HPWH  is  properly  grounded  according  to  the 

instructions in this manual and local code requirements.

26. Ensure  the  power  supply  connections  to  the  HPWH  are 

connected properly and securely tightened.

27. Ensure all electrical connections in the HPWH control panel 

are securely tightened.

28. When the factory supplied Digital Tank Thermostat is used:

•  Insure the thermostat and sensor are installed 

properly. See Digital Tank Thermostat Installation and 

Temperature Sensor Installation on page 19.

•  Ensure  the Temperature Sensor and supplied Sensor 

Well have been installed in a designated temperature 

control opening in the lower part of the storage tank.

•  Ensure the supplied Temperature Sensor is coated with a 

suitable heat transfer compound (paste).

•  Ensure the Temperature Sensor has been properly wired 

to the terminal strip of the Digital Tank Thermostat. See 

Figure 1
