Combination Potable and Space Heating Application
Tee fitting must be installed as shown.
This ensures that any air in the water lines
will be purged through the domestic water
faucets and showers.
DANGER: When this system
requires water for space heating at
elevated temperatures [above 125°F
(52°C.)], a mixing or tempering valve
must be installed in the hot water
supply line to the house in order to
reduce the scald hazard potential.
DANGER: Any piping or components
used in the installation of this water
heater in a combination potable and
space heating application must be
suitable for use with drinking water.
DANGER
: If this water heater is
installed in an application intended to
supply domestic hot water needs and
hot water for space heating purposes,
do not connect the heater to an existing
heating unit or components of a heating
system that have previously been used
with a non drinking water system. Toxic
chemicals such as those used for boiler
treatment may be present and will
contaminate the drinking water supply
causing possible health risks. Never
introduce toxic chemicals, such as those
used for boiler treatment, into this
system.
