BEFORE INSTALLATION
Raypak strongly recommends that this manual be re-
viewed thoroughly before installing your MVB heater.
Please review the General Safety information before
installing the heater. Factory warranty does not apply
to heaters that have been improperly installed or oper-
ated. (Refer to the warranty at the back of this
manual.) Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
If, after reviewing this manual, you still have questions
which this manual does not answer, please contact the
manufacturer or your local Raypak representative.
Thank you for purchasing a Raypak product. We hope
you will be satisfied with the high quality and durability
of our equipment.
Product Receipt
On receipt of your heater it is suggested that you visu-
ally check for external damage to the shipping crate. If
the crate is damaged, make a note to that effect on the
Bill of Lading when signing for the shipment. Remove
the heater from the shipping packaging. Report any
damage to the carrier immediately.
On occasion, items are shipped loose. Be sure that
you receive the correct number of packages as indi-
cated on the Bill of Lading.
Claims for shortages and damages must be filed with
the carrier by consignee. Permission to return goods
must be received from the factory prior to shipping.
Goods returned to the factory without an authorized
Returned Goods Receipt number will not be accepted.
All returned goods are subject to a restocking charge.
When ordering parts, you must specify the model and
serial number of the heater. When ordering under war-
ranty conditions, you must also specify the date of
installation.
Purchased parts are subject to replacement only
under the manufacturer’s warranty. Debits for defec-
tive replacement parts will not be accepted and will be
replaced in kind only per Raypak’s standard war-
ranties.
Model Identification
The model identification number and heater serial
number are found on the heater rating plate located on
the upper rear jacket panel of the heater. The model
number will have the form H7-2004 or similar depend-
ing on the heater size and configuration. The letter(s)
in the first group of characters identifies the application
(H = Hydronic Heating, P = Pool Heating, WH =
Domestic Hot Water (DHW), WHP = Water Heater for
Pool Heating). The number which follows identifies the
firing mode (7 = electronic modulation, 1 = On/Off).
The second group of characters identifies the size of
the heater (three or four numbers representing the
approximate MBTUH input), and, where applicable, a
letter, indicating the manufacturing series.

Installations at Elevation
Rated inputs are suitable for up to 4,500 ft elevation
without de-rating. Consult the factory for installations
at altitudes over 4,500 ft above sea level. No hardware

vessel and any Raypak warranty on the vessel.
Altering the ASME or CSA ratings of the vessel also
violates national, state, and local approval codes.
