Instructions for Conversion of Commercial Electric Models

Concluding Steps
The water heater rating plate will need to be
modified because the conversion altered the
electrical characteristics of the water heater. Refer to
Figure
5 which displays a typical commercial electric
rating plate that is to be altered. This rating plate is
placed on every Commercial Electric water heater
produced by Bradford White Corporation. Locate
this rating plate on the water heater you have just
converted.
Figure 5. Rating plate example.
Also locate the adhesive backed label (see Figure 6)
that is provided inside the kit. The label will be
marked with the new electrical data that is accurate
for the conversion just executed. The kit will contain
two labels for this voltage and KW, (1) for three
phase and (1) for single phase. Select the correct
label for the electrical phase in this conversion.
Figure 6. Rating plate overlay example.
Remove the adhesive peel strip and place this label
onto the rating plate in such a manner that the new
electrical data will appear in place of the data
originally marked. Refer to
Figure
7 to the right that displays the rating plate
revision.

Replace all insulation pieces and element covers that were removed. Replace the electrical enclosure door.
Heater identification information that was placed on the water heater carton must also be altered. This can
be done by making a bold face inscription on the carton with a large size black ink marker. Write the new
electrical data in place of the original data.
