TYPICAL INSTALLATION
FIGURE 2.
MIXING VALVE USAGE
This appliance has been design certified as complying with American
National Standard/CSA Standard for water heaters and is considered
suitable for:
Water (Potable) Heating and Space Heating: All models are
considered suitable for water (potable) heating and space heating.
HOTTER WATER CAN SCALD:
Water heaters are intended to produce hot water. Water heated to a
temperature which will satisfy space heating, clothes washing, dish
washing, and other sanitizing needs can scald and permanently injure
you upon contact. Some people are more likely to be permanently
injured by hot water than others. These include the elderly, children,
the infirm, or physically/mentally handicapped. If anyone using hot
water in your home fits into one of these groups or if there is a local
code or state law requiring a certain temperature water at the hot
water tap, then you must take special precautions. In addition to
using the lowest possible temperature setting that satisfies your hot
water needs, a means such as a Mixing Valve, shall be used at the hot
water taps used by these people or at the water heater. Mixing valves
are available at plumbing supply or hardware stores. Consult a Qualified
Installer or Service Agency. Follow mixing valve manufacturer’s
instructions for installation of the valves. Before changing the factory
setting on the thermostat, read the “Temperature Regulation” section in
this manual, see Figure 26.
