GENERAL SAFETY  
To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high  
limit safety control on this water heater is adjustable up  
to 210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F  
can cause instant severe burns or death from scalds.  
When supplying general purpose hot water, the rec-  
ommended initial setting for the temperature control is  
125°F.  
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con-  
sidered when setting the water temperature on the  
thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will  
result when the temperature setting is the lowest that  
satisfies the needs of the application.  
Water temperature over 125°F can  
causeinstantsevereburnsordeath  
from scalds.  
Water temperature over 125°F can cause instant  
severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled  
and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.  
Children, disabled, and elderly are  
at highest risk of being scalded.  
See instruction manual before set-  
ting temperature at water heater.  
Feel water before bathing or showering.  
Temperature limiting valves are available.  
Feel water before bathing or show-  
ering.  
NOTE: When this water heater is supplying general  
purpose hot water for use by individuals, a  
thermostatically controlled mixing valve for reducing  
point of use water temperature is recommended to  
reduce the risk of scald injury. Contact a licensed  
plumber or the local plumbing authority for further  
information.  
Temperature limiting valves are  
available, see manual.  
Time/Temperature  
Relationships in Scalds  
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the  
heater’s burner has shut off. To determine the water  
temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water  
faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water  
stream and read the thermometer.  
The following chart details the relationship of water  
temperature and time with regard to scald injury and  
may be used as a guide in determining the safest  
water temperature for your applications.

The temperature of the water in the heater can be reg-  
ulated by using the temperature controller. To comply  
with safety regulations, the temperature controller is  
set at the lowest setting when shipped from the facto-  
ry.  
Equipment Base  
The heater should be mounted on a level, structurally  
sound surface. The heater is approved for installation  
on a combustible surface but must NEVER be  
installed on carpeting. Gas-fueled equipment installed  
in enclosed parking garages must be located at least  
18 in. above the floor.  
To adjust the water temperature, insert a small straight  
screwdriver into the adjustment screw on the front of  
temperature controller and turn the wheel to the  
desired setting (See Fig. 4.).  
Stacking  
Hi Delta units can be stacked two units high with an  
optional stacking rack. A seismic-certified stacking kit  
is available from Raypak for this type of installation.  
CAUTION: The heaters should be located in an  
area where water leakage will not result in damage  
to the area adjacent to the appliances or to the  
structure. When such locations cannot be avoided, it  
is recommended that a suitable catch pan,  
adequately drained, be installed under the  
appliance. The pan must not restrict air flow.  
Fig. 4: Temperature Controller  
CAUTION: Hotter water increases the risk of scald-  
ing! There is a hot water scald potential if the  
thermostat is set too high.

Reversing Air Filter  
Follow these instructions to change the air duct con-  
nection from the left-hand side (standard) to the  
right-hand side:  
1. Remove the four screws and the dust cover from  
the right-hand side of the heater.  
2. Remove the four screws and the air filter bracket  
from the left-hand side of the heater.  
3. Reverse the components and reattach in the new  
location, making sure that the air filter locking  
bracket is on the bottom. (The air filter locking  
bracket is reversible.)  
Direct Vent  
Fig. 8: Minimum Clearances from Combustible  
Surfaces – Outdoor Installations  
If outside air is drawn through the intake pipe directly  
to the unit for combustion:  
1. Install combustion air direct vent in accordance  
with Fig. 29 (horizontal) or Fig. 30 (vertical) of this  
manual (pages 31 and 32, respectively).  
Combustion and Ventilation Air  
NOTE: Use of the heater in construction areas  
where fine particulate matter, such as concrete or  
dry-wall dust, is present may result in damage to the  
heater that is not covered by the warranty. If  
operated in a construction environment, a clean  
source of combustion air must be provided directly to  
the heater.  
2. Provide adequate ventilation of the space occu-  
pied by the heater(s) by an opening(s) for  
ventilation air at the highest practical point com-  
municating with the outdoors. The total  
cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.2 of free  
area per 20,000 BTUH (111 mm2 per kW) of total  
input rating of all equipment in the room when the  
opening is communicating directly with the out-  
doors or through vertical duct(s). The total  
cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.2 of free  
area per 10,000 BTUH (222 mm2 per kW) of total  
input rating of all equipment in the room when the  
opening is communicating with the outdoors  
through horizontal duct(s).  
Indoor Units  
The heater must be supplied with sufficient quantities  
of non-contaminated air to support proper combustion  
and equipment ventilation. Combustion air can be sup-  
plied via conventional means where combustion air is  
drawn from the area immediately surrounding the  
heater, or via direct vent, where combustion air is  
drawn directly from outside. All installations must com-  
ply with the requirements of the NFGC (U.S.) and  
B149 (Canada), and all local codes.  
3. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze-  
up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of  
a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circula-  
tion of cold air through the heater during the  
non-operating hours.  
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be  
contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which  
can damage the heater and void the warranty. (See  
the Appendix.)  
Direct-Ducted Combustion Air  
In certain applications it may be desirable to duct the  
combustion air directly to the heater. This should be  
done with PVC, CPVC or single-wall galvanized duct-  
ing. The duct will attach directly to the collar on the air  
filter housing located on the side of the heater. The  
ducting is attached to the air filter housing collar using

input rating of all gas utilization equipment in the con-  
fined space, but not less than 100 in.2 (645 cm2). One  
opening shall commence within 12 in. (305 mm) of the  
top, and one opening shall commence within 12 in.  
(305 mm) of the bottom of the enclosure. The mini-  
mum dimension of air openings shall be not less than  
3 in. (76 mm) in any direction.  
CAUTION: Use TrueSeal combustion air if  
damaging airborne contaminants are or will be  
present in the heater area. See the Appendix  
regarding air contamination.  
TruSeal™ Combustion Air  
All Air from Outdoors  
In certain applications it may be necessary to utilize  
the TruSeal option (sales order option D-21 or D-22)  
and duct the combustion air directly to the blower.  
Combustion air may be ducted directly to the heater by  
using PVC, CPVC or sealed single-wall galvanized

cated on the side of the heater, using three or four  
sheet metal screws (not supplied) equally positioned  
around the circumference of the duct. The screws and  
duct connection point must be sealed with RTV (not  
supplied). An in-line intake air filter kit (sales order  
option D-17) must be installed in the combustion air  
duct. TruSeal is generally used when damaging con-  
taminants are present in the mechanical room.

CAUTION: All combustion air must be drawn from  
the air outside of the building; the mechanical equip-  
ment room must communicate directly with the  
outdoors.  
4. Refer to B149 Installation code for additional infor-  
mation.  
Water Piping  
1. Ventilation of the space occupied by the heater  
shall be provided by an opening(s) for ventilation  
air at the highest practical point communicating  
with the outdoors. The total cross-sectional area of  
such an opening(s) shall be at least 10% of the  
area required in 2. and 3. (below), but in no case  
shall the cross-sectional area be less than 10 in.2  
(65 cm2).  
NOTE: For 87%-efficiency boilers, see special  
instructions on page 45.  
General  
The heater should be located so that any water leaks  
will not cause damage to the adjacent area or struc-  
tures.  
2. For heaters using a barometric damper in the vent  
system there shall be a permanent air supply  
opening(s) having a cross section area of not less  
than 1 in.2 per 7,000 BTUH (320 mm2 per kW) up  
to and including 1 million BTUH, plus 1 in.2 per  
14,000 BTUH (160 mm2 per kW) in excess of 1  
million BTUH. This opening(s) shall be either  
located at or ducted to a point not more than 18 in.  
(450 mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the  
floor level. The duct can also “goose neck” through  
the roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down  
and terminated 18 in. (450 mm) from the floor, but  
not near piping. This air supply opening require-  
ment shall be in addition to the air opening for  
ventilation air required in 1. (above).  
CAUTION: This heater requires forced water  
circulation when the burner is operating. See Table  
G and Table H for minimum and maximum flow rates  
and water pump selection. The pump must be  
interlocked with the heater to prevent heater  
operation without water circulation.  
NOTE: Minimum pipe size for in/out connections is

in. Verify proper flow rates and ΔT as instructed  
in this manual.  
Reversing Water Connections  
Follow these instructions to change the water connec-  
tions from the left-hand side (standard) to the  
right-hand side.  
WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure that the  
equipment room is not under negative pressure  
conditions or that the equipment is not common-  
vented with other gas-fired appliances.  
1. Disconnect all electrical power from the heater (if  
applicable).  
2. Label all electrical connections and conduit lines.  
This may include the flow switch, low water cut-off  
probe and/or pump.  
3. For heaters not using a barometric damper in the  
vent system, and when air supply is provided by  
natural air flow from outdoors for a power burner  
and there is no draft regulator, drafthood or similar  
flue gas dilution device installed in the same  
space, in addition to the opening for ventilation air  
required in 1., there shall be a permanent air sup-  
ply opening(s) having a total cross-sectional area  
3. Disconnect or isolate the main gas pipe from the  
heater (if applicable).  
4. Remove both in/out and return header access  
panels by removing all sheet metal screws.  
14

5. Remove all plumbing fittings to the header. This  
will include both inlet and outlet water pipe unions  
and the pressure relief valve and drain piping.  
Hydrostatic Test  
Unlike many types of heaters, this heater does not re-  
quire hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in  
operation. The heat exchanger has already been fac-  
tory-tested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure.  
However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatic test-  
ing of the piping connections to the heater and the rest  
of the system prior to operation. This is particularly  
true for hydronic systems using expensive glycol-  
based anti-freeze. Raypak recommends conducting  
the hydrostatic test before connecting gas piping or  
electrical supply.  
6. Remove limits, control bulbs and/or thermocou-  
ples.  
7. Remove the eight flange nuts and the in/out head-  
er from the left-hand side.  
8. Remove the eight flange nuts and the return head-  
er from the right-hand side.  
9. Reverse the headers to the new location.  
Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to  
the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak  
compounds.  
10. Install NEW red beveled O-rings flush against both  
tube sheets with the bevel facing outward.  
11. Push the header firmly against the O-rings. Install  
and tighten the flange nuts onto the stud bolts until  
finger tight.  
To perform hydrostatic test:  
1. Connect fill water supply. With bleed valve open,  
fill heater with water. When water flows from bleed  
valve, shut off water. Close bleed valve. Carefully  
fill the rest of the system, making sure to eliminate  
any entrapped air by using high-point vents. Close  
feed valve. Test at standard operating pressure for  
at least 24 hours.  
12. Slowly tighten the flange nuts, starting from the  
center nut (number 1) in Fig. 9 and working se-  
quentially around the header as indicated. Torque  
all nuts to 25 ft/lb. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN.  
13. Re-route the capillary(s), wiring etc. to the new  
location, adding thermal paste and shim to the  
capillary well.  
2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been  
maintained throughout test.  
3. Check for leaks. Repair if found.  
Cold Water Operation  
CAUTION: Damaging internal condensation may  
occur if the heater inlet water temperature does not  
exceed 105ºF (41ºC) within 7 minutes of start-up.  
A heater operated with an inlet temperature of less  
than 105ºF (41ºC) must have a manual bypass or an  
approved low-temperature operation system to pre-  
vent problems with condensation. A manual bypass,  
shown in Fig. 15, must be piped into the system at the  
time of installation. This piping is like a pri-  
mary/secondary boiler installation with a bypass acting  
as the secondary boiler piping. Raypak strongly rec-  
ommends that thermometer(s) be placed into the  
heater piping next to the in/out header to facilitate tem-  
perature adjustment. Inlet water temperatures below  
105ºF (41ºC) can excessively cool the products of  
combustion, resulting in condensation on the heat  
exchanger and in the flue.  
Fig. 9: Torque Sequence  
Relief Valve Piping  
WARNING: Pressure relief valve discharge piping  
must be piped near the floor and close to a drain to  
eliminate the potential of severe burns. Do not pipe  
to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to  
local codes.  
15

system, such as a three-way proportional valve or a  
modulating two-way valve to control the bypass,  
should be utilized.  
Failure to exceed 105ºF (41ºC) within 7 minutes may  
result in the premature failure of the hot surface ignit-  
er, remote flame sensor, burners and heat exchanger.  
It can cause operational problems, bad combustion,  
sooting, flue gas spillage and reduced service life of  
the vent system. The bypass allows part of the heater  
discharge water to be mixed with the cooler heater  
return water to increase the heater inlet temperature  
above 105ºF (41ºC). This precautionary measure  
should prevent the products of combustion from con-  
densing in most installations. Warranty claims will be  
denied when condensation occurs.  
Cold Water Run  
Cold water run differs from cold water start in that the  
system water entering the heater remains below 105ºF  
(41ºC) continuously. Typically, this is the case in swim-  
ming pool heating and water source heat pump  
applications as well as some others. If the system  
water is kept in a narrow temperature range, a perma-  
nent manual bypass can be employed and manually  
adjusted to achieve an inlet temperature of 105ºF  
(41ºC) or higher. An injector pump arrangement may  
also be utilized to keep the heater loop at or above  
105ºF (41ºC). An injector pump approach has the  
added value of being able to adjust to changes in the  
system water coming back to the heater take-off.  
Cold water operation issues are applicable to both  
cold water start and cold water run applications. Cold  
water operation for 7 minutes or less on start-up is  
acceptable. Where cold water starts will last longer  
than 7 minutes or where cold water operation is con-  
tinuous, provisions must be made to mix higher  
temperature outlet water with the colder inlet water  
and thereby raise the inlet temperature to at least  
105ºF (41ºC) within the 7-minute time limit.  
Temperature & Pressure Gauge  
The temperature and pressure gauge is factory-  
mounted in the in/out header.  
Cold Water Starts  
Frequent (more than once a week) cold water starts,  
wherein the inlet water temperature remains below  
105ºF (41ºC) for more than 7 minutes, must have cold  
water start protection. Known protection methods con-  
sist of mixing heated outlet water with the inlet water  
with a bypass to raise the inlet to 105ºF (41ºC) or high-  
er. Once the system is heated up and has return water  
temperatures of 105ºF (41ºC) or higher, the mixing of  
outlet water with inlet water is no longer needed and  
the bypass can be shut off. If the bypass is not shut off  
as the system heats up, the outlet temperature may  
continue to climb and actuate the high limit, thereby  
shutting down the heater. Thus an automatic valve  
Hydronic Heating  
Pump Selection  
In order to ensure proper performance of your heater  
system, you must install a correctly sized pump. Ray-  
pak recommends using a 20°F ΔT as design ΔT. (ΔT is  
the temperature difference between the inlet and out-  
let water when the heater is firing at full rate). If a ΔT  
of larger than 20°F is necessary, see Table G and  
Table H for flow rate requirements.

Pressure Drop in Feet of Head  
Feedwater Regulator  
(Refer to the Controls section of the Raypak Catalog.)  
Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be in-  
stalled and set at 12 psi minimum pressure at the  
highest point of the system. Install a check valve or  
back flow device upstream of the regulator, with a  
manual shut-off valve as required by local codes.  
Piping  
All high points should be vented. Purge valves and a  
bypass valve should be installed. A heater installed  
above radiation level must be provided with a low wa-  
ter cut-off device (sales order option F-10). The heater,  
when used in connection with a refrigeration system,  
must be installed so that the chilled medium is piped in  
parallel with the heater with appropriate valves to pre-  
vent the chilled medium from entering the heater.  
*
The piping system of a hot water heater connected to  
heating coils located in air handling units where they  
may be exposed to circulating refrigerated air, must be  
equipped with flow control valves or other automatic  
means to prevent gravity circulation of the heater  
water during the cooling cycle. It is highly recommend-  
ed that the piping be insulated.

Potable Water and Space Heating  
CAUTION: When this heater is used for both  
potable water and space heating, observe the  
following to ensure proper operation.  
1. All piping materials and components connected to  
the water heater for the space heating application  
shall be suitable for use with potable water.  
2. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment,  
shall not be introduced into the potable water used  
for space heating.  
Fig. 13: Single Domestic Hot Water Heater and Storage  
Tank  
Pool Heating  
3. If the heater will be used to supply potable water,  
it shall not be connected to any heating system or  
components previously used with a non-potable  
water heating appliance.  
CAUTION: Power to the heater should be  
interlocked with the main system pump to make sure  
the heater does not fire without the main system  
pump in operation. Improper flow control can  
damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or  
restricted flow (too low) can seriously damage the  
heater. Follow these instructions to make sure your  
heater is properly installed.  
4. When the system requires water for space heating  
at temperatures higher than 140°F, a means such  
as a mixing valve shall be installed to temper the  
water in order to reduce scald hazard potential.  
The Hi Delta pool heater is equipped with an external  
pump and bypass arrangement as standard equip-  
ment. This arrangement blends outlet water with the  
inlet water to increase the inlet water temperature,  
thereby reducing the likelihood of condensation form-  
ing on the heat exchanger. The pump also serves to

DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater  
will operate is the same type as specified on the  
heater’s rating plate.  
pH of Water  
pH is a measure of relative acidity, neutrality or alka-  
linity. Dissolved minerals and gases affect water’s pH.  
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. Water with a pH of  
7.0 is considered neutral. Water with a pH lower than  
7 is considered acidic. Water with a pH higher than 7  
is considered alkaline. A neutral pH (around 7) is desir-  
able for most potable water applications. Corrosion  
damage and water heater failures resulting from water  
pH levels of lower than 6 or higher than 8 are non-war-  
rantable. The ideal pH range for water used in a  
storage tank or a copper water heater system is 7.2 to  
7.8.  
Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the  
heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve lo-  
cated outside the heater jacket. It is recommended  
that a union be installed in the gas supply piping adja-  
cent to the heater for servicing. A pounds-to-inches  
regulator must be installed to reduce the gas supply  
pressure to a maximum of 10.5 in. WC for natural gas  
and 13.0 in. WC for propane gas. The regulator should  
be placed a minimum distance of 10 times the pipe  
diameter up-stream of the heater gas controls. Refer  
to Table I for maximum pipe lengths.

Gas Supply Connection  
CAUTION: Support gas supply piping with  
hangers, not by the heater or its accessories. Make  
sure the gas piping is protected from physical  
damage and freezing, where required.  
CAUTION: The heater must be disconnected from  
the gas supply during any pressure testing of the gas  
supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi  
(3.45 kPa).  
Reversing Gas Supply Connection  
Reversing the standard fuel connection from the left-  
hand to the right-hand side is a simple field operation.  
The heater must be isolated from the gas supply pip-  
ing system by closing the manual shut-off valve during  
any pressure testing of the gas supply piping system  
at test pressures equal to or less than 1/2 psi (3.45  
kPa). Relieve test pressure in the gas supply line prior  
to reconnecting the heater and its manual shut-off  
valve to the gas supply line. FAILURE TO FOLLOW  
THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE THE GAS  
VALVES. Over pressurized gas valves are not cov-  
ered by warranty. The heater and its gas connections  
shall be leak-tested before placing the appliance in  
operation. Use soapy water for leak test. DO NOT use  
an open flame.  
1. Disconnect all electrical power from the heater (if  
applicable).  
2. Disconnect the main gas pipe from the heater (if  
applicable).  
3. Remove the left and right front panels from the  
heater.  
4. Locate the main gas line that traverses across the  
heater above the manifold risers.  
5. Remove the pipe cap from the right-hand end of  
the main gas line.  
6. Reinstall the pipe cap on the left-hand end of the  
main gas line.  
7. Remove plastic cap from the right-hand side panel  
and reinstall into the standard main gas opening  
located on the left-hand side of the heater.  
8. Remove the rubber grommet from the left-hand-  
side panel and reinstall into the standard main gas  
opening, located on the right-hand side of the  
heater.  
Fig. 16: Gas Supply Connection

onto the right-hand end of the main gas line and  
then install the gas line, making sure that a manu-  
al shut-off valve has been installed within 10 ft of  
the heater.  
Electrical Power Connections  
Installations must follow these codes:  
National Electrical Code and any other national,  
state, provincial or local codes or regulations hav-  
ing jurisdiction.  
10. Replace the left and right front panels on the  
heater.  
Safety wiring must be NEC Class 1.  
Heater must be electrically grounded as required  
by the NEC.  
Gas Supply Pressure  
In Canada, CSA C22. 1 C.E.C. Part 1.  
A minimum of 5.0 in. WC and a maximum of 10.5 in.  
WC upstream gas pressure is required under load and  
no-load conditions for natural gas. A minimum of 11.0  
in. WC and a maximum of 13.0 in. WC is required for  
propane gas. The gas pressure regulator(s) supplied  
on the heater is for low-pressure service. If upstream  
pressure exceeds 14.0 in. WC, an intermediate gas  
pressure regulator, of the lockup type, must be  
installed.  
The heater is wired for 120 VAC, <12 amps. The volt-  
age is indicated on the tie-in leads. Consult the wiring  
diagram shipped with the heater in the instruction  
packet. The remote tank control stat, thermostat, or  
electronic heater control (as applicable) may be con-  
nected to the stage selector terminal (See wiring  
diagram). 24 VAC is supplied to this connection  
through the heater transformer. DO NOT attach any  
voltage to the stage selector terminals. Before  
starting the heater check to ensure proper voltage to  
the heater and pump.  
When connecting additional gas utilization equipment  
to the gas piping system, the existing piping must be  
checked to determine if it has adequate capacity for  
the combined load.  
Install a separate disconnect means for each load.  
Use appropriately sized wire as defined by NEC, CSA  
and/or local code. All primary wiring should be 125% of  
minimum rating.  
The gas valve pressure regulator(s) on the heater are  
nominally preset at 3.5 in. WC for natural gas, and  
10.5 in. WC for propane gas. The pressure at the gas  
valve outlet tap, measured with a manometer, while in  
operation should be 3.5 0.1 in. WC for natural gas  
and 10.5 in. 0.1 in. WC for propane gas. If an adjust-  
ment is needed, remove the adjustment screw cover  
and turn the adjustment screw clockwise to increase  
pressure or counter-clockwise to lower pressure.  
If any of the original wire as supplied with the heater  
must be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C wire  
or its equivalent.  
Field-Connected Controllers  
It is strongly recommended that all individually-pow-  
ered control modules and the heater should be  
supplied from the same power source.  
NOTE: Field-supplied isolation relays should be  
installed when field-connected controllers are  
mounted more than 50 equivalent feet (18 Ga) from  
heater.  
Check the Power Source  
WARNING: Using a multi-meter, check the  
following voltages at the terminal block inside the  
unit. Make sure proper polarity is followed and house  
ground is proven. (See Fig. 18.)

NOTE: Minimum 18 AWG, 105°C, stranded wire  
must be used for all low voltage (less than 30 volts)  
external connections to the unit. Solid conductors  
should not be used because they can cause  
excessive tension on contact points. Install conduit  
as appropriate. All high voltage wires must be the  
same size (105°C, stranded wire) as the ones on the  
unit or larger.

heater to stage 1 of the control; stage 2 of the  
heater to stage 2 of the control, as shown in Fig.  
22 and Fig. 25. Set the operating control to the  
set-point at which you want the heater to maintain.  
Ensure that the sensing bulb of the control is at the  
point in the system that will best maintain the tem-  
perature you want. For example, when you are  
heating a tank of water, you want the operating  
control sensor bulb in the tank.

Appliance Categories  
Heaters are divided into four categories based on the  
pressure produced in the exhaust and the likelihood of  
condensate production in the vent.  
Category I – A heater which operates with a non-pos-  
itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas  
temperature that avoids excessive condensate pro-  
duction in the vent.  
NOTE: If any of the original wire supplied with the  
heater must be replaced, it must be replaced with  
similar sized 105°C wire or its equivalent.

production in the vent.  
es through combustible roofs and walls.  
NOTE: During winter months check the vent cap  
and make sure no blockage occurs from build-up of  
snow or ice.  
Category III – A heater which operates with a positive  
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that  
avoids excessive condensate production in the vent.  
Vent Terminal Location  
Category IV – A heater which operates with a positive  
vent pressure and with a vent gas temperature that  
may cause excessive condensate production in the  
vent.  
1. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen  
condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked  
flue condition.  
2. Give special attention to the location of the vent  
termination to avoid possibility of property dam-  
age or personal injury.  
See Table K for appliance category requirements.  
NOTE: For additional information on appliance  
categorization, see appropriate ANSI Z21 Standard  
and the NFGC (U.S.), or B149 (Canada), or  
applicable provisions of local building codes.  
3. Gases may form a white vapor plume in winter.  
The plume could obstruct a window view if the ter-  
mination is installed near windows.  
4. Prevailing winds, in combination with below-freez-  
ing temperatures, can cause freezing of  
condensate and water/ice build-up on buildings,  
plants or roofs.  
CAUTION: When condensate traps are installed,  
condensate must be routed to an appropriate  
container for neutralization before disposal, as  
required by local codes.  
5. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake  
shall be located at least 12 in. above grade, includ-  
ing normal snow line.  
WARNING: Contact the manufacturer of the vent  
material if there is any question about the appliance  
categorization and suitability of a vent material for  
application on a Category III or IV vent system.  
Using improper venting materials can result in  
personal injury, death or property damage.  
6. Un-insulated single-wall metal vent pipe shall not  
be used outdoors in cold climates for venting gas-  
fired equipment.  
7. Through-the-wall vents for Category II and IV  
appliances and non-categorized condensing appli-  
ances shall not terminate over public walkways or  
over an area where condensate or vapor could  
create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimen-  
tal to the operation of regulators, relief valves, or  
other equipment. Where local experience indi-  
cates that condensate is a problem with Category  
I and III appliances, this provision shall also apply.  
Support of Vent Stack  
The weight of the vent stack or chimney must not rest  
on the heater vent connection. Support must be pro-  
vided in compliance with applicable codes. The vent  
should also be installed to maintain proper clearances  
from combustible materials.

Venting Installation Tips  
Support piping:  
horizontal runs - at least every 5 ft  
vertical runs - use braces  
under or near elbows  
WARNING: Examine the venting system at least  
once a year. Check all joints and vent pipe  
connections for tightness, corrosion or deterioration.  
Venting Configurations  
For heaters connected to gas vents or chimneys, vent  
installations shall be in accordance with the NFGC  
(U.S.), or B149 (Canada), or applicable provisions of  
local building codes.  
Natural Draft Vertical Venting  
(Category I)  
Fig. 27: Natural Draft Vertical Venting  
(Category I)  
Installation  
Natural draft venting uses the natural buoyancy of the  
heated flue products to create a thermal driving head  
that expels the exhaust gases from the flue. The nega-  
tive draft must be within the range of -.01 to -.08 in.  
WC as measured 12 in. above the appliance flue out-  
let to ensure proper operation. Vent material must be  
listed by a nationally recognized test agency.  
The connection from the appliance vent to the stack  
must be as direct as possible and shall be the same di-  
ameter as, or larger than, the vent outlet. The  
horizontal breaching of a vent must have an upward  
slope of not less than 1/4 inch per linear foot from the  
heater to the vent terminal. The horizontal portions of  
the vent shall also be supported for the design and  
weight of the material employed to maintain clear-  
ances and to prevent physical damage or separation  
of joints.

Termination  
WARNING: Vent connectors serving appliances  
vented by natural draft shall not be connected into  
any portion of mechanical draft systems operating  
under a positive pressure.  
The vent terminal should be vertical and should termi-  
nate outside the building at least 2 ft above the highest  
point of the roof that is within 10 ft. The vent cap  
should have a minimum clearance of 4 ft horizontally  
from and in no case above or below (unless a 4 ft hori-  
zontal distance is maintained) electric meters, gas  
meters, regulators and relief equipment. The distance  
of the vent terminal from adjacent public walkways,  
adjacent buildings, open windows and building open-  
ings must be consistent with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149  
(Canada). Gas vents supported only by flashing and  
extended above the roof more than 5 ft should be se-  
curely guyed or braced to withstand snow and wind  
loads.  
CAUTION: Vent connectors for natural draft  
venting systems must be Type B or better.  
Common venting systems may be too large once an  
existing unit is removed. At the time of removal of an  
existing appliance, the following steps must be fol-  
lowed with each appliance remaining connected to the  
common venting system placed in operation, while the  
other appliances remaining connected to the common  
venting system are not in operation.  
1. Seal any unused opening in the common venting  
system.  
CAUTION: A listed vent cap terminal, adequately  
sized, must be used to evacuate the flue products  
from the heaters.  
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper size  
and horizontal pitch and verify there is no block-  
age, restriction, leakage, corrosion or other unsafe  
condition.  
Common Venting System  
Manifolds that connect more than one heater to a com-  
mon chimney must be sized to handle the combined  
load. Consult available guides for proper sizing of the  
manifold and the chimney. At no time should the area  
of the common vent be less than the area of the  
largest heater exhaust outlet.  
3. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and  
windows and all doors between the space in which  
the appliances remaining connected to the com-  
mon venting system are located and other spaces  
of the building. Turn on clothes dryers and any ap-  
pliance not connected to the common vent

The total length of air supply pipe cannot exceed the  
distances listed in Table L. Each elbow used is equal  
to 10 ft of straight pipe. This will allow installation in  
any arrangement that does not exceed the lengths  
shown in Table L.  
The flue direct vent cap is not considered in the over-  
all length of the venting system.  
Care must be taken during assembly that all joints are  
sealed properly and are airtight.  
The vent must be installed to prevent the potential ac-  
cumulation of condensate in the vent pipes. It is  
required that:  
1. The vent must be installed with a slight downward  
slope of not more than 1/4 inch per foot of hori-  
zontal run to the vent terminal.  
Note: When vertical height exceeds 25 ft,  
consult factory prior to installation.

approved condensate trap must be installed per  
applicable codes.  
2. The intake vent must be insulated through the  
length of the horizontal run.  
Termination  
The flue direct vent cap MUST be mounted on the ex-  
terior of the building. The direct vent cap cannot be  
installed in a well or below grade. The direct vent cap  
must be installed at least 1 ft above ground level and  
above normal snow levels.  
Note: When vertical height exceeds 25 ft, consult  
factory prior to installation.  
Fig. 30: Direct Vent - Vertical  
The direct vent cap MUST NOT be installed with any  
combustion air inlet directly above a direct vent cap.  
This vertical spacing would allow the flue products  
from the direct vent cap to be pulled into the combus-  
tion air intake installed above.  
Installation  
These installations utilize the heater-mounted blower  
to draw combustion air from outdoors and force the  
heated flue products through the vent pipe under posi-  
tive pressure. The vent material must be in  
accordance with the above instructions for vent mate-  
rials. Vent material must be listed by a nationally  
recognized test agency.  
This type of installation can cause non-warrantable  
problems with components and poor operation of the  
heater due to the recirculation of flue products. Multi-  
ple direct vent caps should be installed in the same  
horizontal plane with a 4 ft clearance from the side of  
one vent cap to the side of the adjacent vent cap(s).  
The connection from the appliance flue to the stack  
must be as direct as possible and should be the same  
size or larger than the vent outlet.  
Combustion air supplied from outdoors must be free of  
particulate and chemical contaminants. To avoid a  
blocked flue condition, keep the vent cap clear of  
snow, ice, leaves, debris, etc.  
See Table K for Category I venting guidelines.  
It is recommended that in colder climates, the intake  
vent be insulated.  
WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent  
cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would  
jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.  
Termination  
The flue terminal should be vertical and should termi-  
nate outside the building at least 2 ft above the highest  
point of the roof within 10 ft. The vent cap should have  
a minimum clearance of 4 ft horizontally from and in no  
case above or below (unless a 4 ft horizontal distance  
is maintained) electric meters, gas meters, regulators  
and relief equipment. The distance of the vent terminal  
from adjacent public walkways, adjacent buildings,  
open windows and building openings must be consis-  
tent with the NFGC (U.S.) or B149 (Canada).  
The stainless steel flue direct vent cap must be fur-  
nished by the heater manufacturer in accordance with  
its listing (sales order option D-15).  
Use only the special gas vent pipes listed for use with  
Category III gas burning heaters, such as the AL29-4C  
stainless steel vents offered by Heat Fab Inc. (800-  
772-0739), Protech System, Inc. (800-766-3473),  
Z-Flex (800-654-5600) or American Metal Products  
(800-423-4270). Pipe joints must be positively sealed.  
Follow carefully the vent manufacturer’s installation  
instructions.  
32

Flues supported only by flashing and extended above  
the roof more than 5 ft should be securely guyed or  
braced to withstand snow and wind loads.  
NOTE: Condensate can freeze on the vent cap.  
Frozen condensate on the vent cap can result in a  
blocked flue condition.  
The air inlet opening MUST be installed 1 ft above the  
roof line or above normal snow levels that might ob-  
struct combustion air flow. This dimension is critical to  
the correct operation of the heater and venting system  
and reduces the chance of blockage from snow. The  
vent cap must have a minimum 3 ft vertical clearance  
from the air inlet opening.  
NOTE: The vent cap, flow switch cover and air  
intake hood must be furnished by the heater  
manufacturer in accordance with its listing (sales  
order option D-11).  
Freeze Protection  
Outdoor Installation  
When installing this heater in an outdoor location that  
is susceptible to freezing, sales order option B-22  
must be ordered. The B-22 option energizes the  
heater pump at a preset temperature drop to circulate  
water and reduces the possibility of freezing and dam-  
aging the heat exchanger or headers.  
Outdoor models are self-venting when installed with  
the optional factory-supplied outdoor vent kit and re-  
quire no additional vent piping. A special vent cap, flow  
switch cover and air intake hood are provided in accor-  
dance with CSA requirements, which must be installed  
directly on the heater. Correct clearances can be  
found earlier in this section.  
Controls  
Care must be taken when locating the heater out-  
doors, because the flue gases discharged from the  
vent cap can condense as they leave the cap.  
Improper location can result in damage to adjacent  
structures or building finish. For maximum efficiency  
and safety, the following precautions must be  
observed:  
WARNING: Installation, adjustment and service of  
heater controls, including timing of various operating  
functions, must be performed by a qualified installer,  
service agency or the gas supplier. Failure to do so  
may result in control damage, heater malfunction,  
property damage, personal injury, or death.  
1. Outdoor models must be installed outdoors and  
must use the outdoor vent cap, flow switch cover  
and air intake hood available from the manufac-  
turer (sales order option D-11).  
WARNING: Turn off the power to the heater before  
installation, adjustment or service of the CPW board  
or any heater controls. Failure to do so may result in  
board damage, heater malfunction, property  
damage, personal injury, or death.  
2. Periodically check venting system. The heater’s  
venting areas must never be obstructed in any  
way and minimum clearances must be observed  
to prevent restriction of combustion and ventilation  
air. Keep area clear and free of combustible and  
flammable materials.  
CAUTION: This appliance has provisions to be  
connected to more than one supply source. To  
reduce the risk of electric shock, disconnect all such  
connections before servicing.  
3. Do not locate adjacent to any window, door walk-  
way, or gravity air intake. The vent must be  
located a minimum of 4 ft horizontally from such  
areas.  
CAUTION: Risk of electric shock: More than one  
disconnect switch may be required to de-energize  
the equipment before servicing.  
4. Install above grade level and above normal snow  
levels.  
5. Vent terminal must be at least 3 ft above any  
forced air inlet located within 10 ft.  
6. Adjacent brick or masonry surfaces must be pro-  
tected with a rust-resistant sheet metal plate.

Pump Time Delay  
There are two versions of the Pump Time Delay. The  
first is the Economaster II. It is an electronic device  
that allows the operator to set a variable time (3 to 10  
minutes) for the pump to run after the boiler shuts off.  
See Fig. 40 (A) . The time is factory-set at 7 minutes  
and it can be re-adjusted in the field.  
The second version is a fully enclosed solid state TDR  
with a white jumper that selects one of two time  
delays. See Fig. 40 (B). If the jumper is on pins 6 and  
7 (default) the delay time is 5 minutes. If the jumper is  
not on pins 6 and 7, the time delay is 10 minutes.  
In a conventional system, when the Aquastat is satis-  
fied, the main gas valve closes, but the pump  
continues operating. With either time delay relay the  
boiler pump is programmed to continue running for an  
optimum period of time in order to absorb the residual  
heat from the combustion chamber and use it in the  
system. The pump then shuts off until the next call for  
heat is received from the Aquastat.

UDB Fault History  
To view the fault codes in the UDB history file:  
1. Press the UP or DOWN buttons on the membrane  
switch for 2 seconds to access the fault history.  
2. Press either button to scroll through the recorded  
faults in history.  
3. The most recent fault recorded will be the first fault  
displayed (the last 16 faults are stored in the his-  
tory, on a rolling basis). There is no time or date  
stamp associated with these faults.  
(A)  
(B)  
4. When the history of faults has been exhausted,  
pushing the UP or DOWN buttons again will roll  
the fault history over and it will start again.  
5. To exit the fault history, wait for 10 seconds and  
the board will automatically exit the history mode.  
To clear the fault history, press and hold both the UP  
and DOWN buttons for 5 seconds while the power is  
on.  
NOTE: Once the history has been cleared, it cannot  
be recovered.

CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is criti-

Water Piping  
An 87%-efficiency boiler requires a minimum inlet  
water temperature of 120ºF (49ºC) to prevent exces-  
sive condensation in the combustion chamber. An  
87%-efficiency boiler operated with an inlet tempera-  
ture of less than 120ºF (49ºC) must have a manual  
bypass or an approved low-temperature operation  
system to prevent problems with condensation. A man-  
ual bypass, shown in Fig. 15, must be piped into the  
system at the time of installation. This piping is like a  
primary/secondary boiler installation with a bypass in  
the secondary boiler piping. Raypak strongly recomm-

Condensate Management  
NOTE: During winter months check the vent cap  
and make sure no blockage occurs from build-up of  
snow or ice.  
Condensate must be routed from the condensate trap  
to an appropriate container for neutralization before  
disposal, as required by local codes.  
1. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen  
condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked  
flue condition.

2. Give special attention to the location of the vent  
termination to avoid possibility of property dam-  
age or personal injury.  
3. Gases may form a white vapor plume in winter.  
The plume could obstruct a window view if the ter-  
mination is installed near windows.  
4. Prevailing winds, in combination with below-freez-  
ing temperatures, can cause freezing of  
condensate and water/ice build-up on building,  
plants or roof.  
5. The bottom of the vent terminal and the air intake  
shall be located at least 12 in. above grade, includ-  
ing normal snow line.  
6. Un-insulated single-wall metal vent pipe shall NOT  
be used outdoors in cold climates for venting gas  
utilization equipment.  
7. Through-the-wall vents for Category II and IV  
appliances shall not terminate over public walk-  
ways or areas where condensate or vapor could  
create a nuisance or hazard, or be detrimental to  
the operation of regulators, relief valves or other  
equipment.  
Note: When vertical height exceeds 25 ft,  
consult factory prior to installation.

2. Open manual firing valves.  
2. Attach 24” scale manometer to the first main gas  
shut-off valve pressure tapping.  
3. Turn on the unit, wait 15 seconds, and the igniter  
should glow. Look into sight glass located at each  
end of the heater to check igniter operation. Gas  
valves should open in 45-60 seconds.  
3. Attach (1) 12” scale manometer to the outlet side  
of the second main gas shut-off valve pressure  
tapping.  
4. If burner does not light on first trial. It will retry, up  
to three times.  
4. Attach (1) 12” scale manometer near the fan-prov-  
ing switch. Pull black cap from air pressure switch  
tee and connect the manometer. NOTE: Retain  
caps for reinstallation later.  
5. Main burner ignition: Check manifold gas pressure  
at gas valve outlet pressure tap. This should read

WC for propane gas.  
Check Gas Supply Pressure  
1. Slowly turn on main gas shut-off valve.  
6. If the pressure reading differs by more than 0.1  
in. WC, remove screw cover from the gas pres-  
sure regulator and adjust main burner manifold  
pressure. Replace the screw cover. Repeat steps  
2 to 5 on other valves as necessary.  
2. Read the gas supply pressure from the manome-  
ter; minimum supply pressure for natural gas is 5.0  
in. WC, recommended supply is 7.0 in. WC, mini-  
mum supply pressure for propane gas is 11.0 in.  
WC (dynamic readings, all stages firing).  
CAUTION: Special manifold and air settings may

The burner section that is ignited directly by the hot  
surface ignition system serves as a supervised pilot to  
light the burner sections on either side of it. The burn-  
er sections on either side of the supervised section  
(pilot) are electrically interlocked with the supervised  
ignition system so as they are not energized unless  
flame is proven on the center section which is acting  
as a pilot to light the right and left-hand sections.  
Safety Inspection  
1. Check all thermostats and high limit settings.  
2. During the following safety checks leave manome-  
ters hooked up, check and record.  
3. If other gas-fired appliances in the room are on the  
same gas main, check all pressures on the Hi  
Delta with all other equipment running.  
The pilot turn-down test is conducted as follows:  
1. Turn off manual valves on non-supervised burner  
sections.  
4. Check thermostats for ON-OFF operation.  
5. Check high limits for ON-OFF operation.  
6. While in operation, check flow switch operation.  
2. Turn on electrical power and adjust thermostat to  
call for heat.  
3. Wait for completion of ignition sequence to light  
burner section being utilized as a pilot for those  
turned off in step 1 above.  
7. Check the low gas pressure switch. (For proper  
adjustment, use the attached manometers, if  
available, to set pressure. The scales on the  
switch are approximate only.) Low gas pressure  
switch must be set at 5.0 in. WC for natural gas  
and 10.0 in. WC for propane gas.  
4. Gradually reduce manifold pressure (flame) on  
supervised burner section by slowly closing man-  
ual gas valve. Watch for shut-down due to loss of  
supervised flame signal as pressure is being re-  
duced. Flame signal should be lost before  
manifold pressure goes below 2.0 in. WC for nat-  
ural gas and 6.0 in. WC for propane gas.  
8. Make sure that the high gas pressure switch (op-  
tional) is set to 1.0 in. WC above manifold  
pres-sure.  
Follow-Up  
Leak Test Procedure: Dual-Seat Gas  
Valves  
Safety checks must be recorded as performed.  
Turn heater on. After main burner ignition:  
1. Check manometer for proper reading.  
Proper leak testing requires three pressure test points  
in the gas train.  
Test point A is upstream of the automatic gas valve. On

as well.  
4. Replace all gas pressure caps.  
5. Check for gas leaks one more time.  
Pilot Turn-Down Test  
Test point B is a bleedle valve located between the two  
automatic gas valve seats.  
Test point C is located downstream of both automatic  
gas valve seats and upstream of the manual valve. On  
the manual valve, this is a bleedle valve. Identical  
readings will be found at the plugged port labeled as  
Alternate C.  
The Hi Delta heaters, depending on their size, have  
two to five burner sections. Each burner section is sup-  
plied gas by gas valves incorporated into a single  
valve body. A maximum of three burner sections may  
be controlled by a single hot surface ignition system.  
The middle of the three burner sections is ignited  
directly with a hot surface ignition system.  
Refer to Fig. 46. The numbers on the diagram refer to  
the steps below:  
These tests are to be conducted with the electrical  
power to the heater turned off.

1. Manually close the downstream leak test valve.  
This completes leak testing for a single Hi Delta mani-  
fold riser. Repeat steps 1-8 for each riser.  
2. Open test point A and connect a manometer to it.  
Verify that there is gas pressure and that it is with-  
in the proper range (NOTE: must not exceed 14.0  
in. WC).  
Post Start-Up Check  
Check off steps as completed:  
3. Open test point B and connect a rubber tube to it.  
Connect the other end of the tube to a manometer  
and look for a build-up of pressure. Increasing  
pressure indicates a leaking gas valve.  
1. Verify that the heater and heat distribution units or  
storage tank are filled with water.  
2. Confirm that the automatic air vent (if used) was  
opened two full turns during the venting proce-  
dure.  
4. Next, close the upstream manual gas valve and  
remove the manometer from test point A and from  
test point B. Connect a rubber tube from test point  
A to test point B and open the upstream manual  
gas valve. Make sure that test points A & B have  
been opened so as to allow gas to flow. This will  
bring pressure to the second valve seat.  
3. Verify that air has been purged from the system.  
4. Verify that air has been purged from the gas pip-  
ing, and that the piping has been checked for  
leaks.  
5. Open test point C and connect a second rubber  
tube to it. Connect the other end of the tube to a  
manometer and look for a build-up of pressure. In-  
creasing pressure indicates a leaking gas valve.  
5. Confirm that the proper start-up procedures were  
followed.  
6. Inspect burner to verify flame.  
6. Remove rubber tube and manometers. Close  
each test point valve as the tubes are removed.  
7. Test safety controls: If heater is equipped with a  
low water cut-off or additional safety controls, test  
for operation as outlined by manufacturer. Burner  
should be operating and should go off when con-  
trols are tested. When safety devices are restored,  
burners should re-ignite after pre-purge time  
delay.  
7. Connect a manometer to each test point (one at a  
time) and look for a build-up of pressure. If a build-  
up of pressure is detected, check each test point  
valve to see if it is tightly closed. If leak persists,  
replace test point valve(s).  
8. Test limit control: While burner is operating, move  
indicator on high limit control below actual water  
temperature. Burner should go off while blower  
and circulator continue to operate. Raise setting  
on limit control above water temperature and burn-  
er should re-ignite after pre-purge time delay.  
8. After no leakage has been verified at all valve  
seats and test valves, open downstream leak tests  
valve and restore electrical power to heater.  
9. Test ignition system safety device:  
a. Turn on manual gas valve. Turn power on.  
b. Set thermostat to call for heat.  
c. When the heater is in operation, pull cap off of  
tee in air switch hose. The burner should go  
off immediately.  
d. Wait 5 minutes.  
e. Reattach cap on tee. Burner should re-ignite  
after pre-purge time delay.

Inside Air Contamination  
Check for areas and products listed above before in-  
stalling heater. If found:  
All heaters experience some condensation during  
start-up. The condensate from flue gas is acidic.  
Combustion air can be contaminated by certain vapors  
in the air which raise the acidity of the condensate.  
Higher acidity levels attack many materials including  
stainless steel, which is commonly used in high effi-  
ciency systems. The heater can be supplied with  
corrosion-resistant, non-metallic intake air vent materi-  
al. You may, however, choose to use outside  
combustion air for one or more of these reasons:  
remove products permanently, OR  
install TruSeal direct vent  
1. Installation is in an area containing contaminants  
listed below which will induce acidic condensation.  
2. You want to reduce infiltration into your building  
through openings around windows and doors.  
3. You are using AL29-4C stainless steel vent pipe,  
which is more corrosion-resistant than standard  
metallic vent pipe. In extremely contaminated ar-  
eas, this may also experience deterioration.  
Products causing contaminated combustion air:  
spray cans containing chloro/fluorocarbons  
permanent wave solutions  
chlorinated waxes/cleaners  
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals  
calcium chloride used for thawing  
sodium chloride used for water softening  
refrigerant leaks  
paint or varnish removers  
hydrochloric acid/muriatic acid  
cements and glues  
antistatic fabric softeners used in clothes dryers  
chloride-type bleaches, detergents, and cleaning  
solvents found in household laundry rooms  
adhesives used to fasten building products  
similar products  
Areas where contaminated combustion air commonly  
exists:  
dry cleaning/laundry areas  
metal fabrication plants  
beauty shops  
refrigeration repair shops  
photo processing plants  
auto body shops  
plastic manufacturing plants
