crystalline silica (cristabolite) as carcinogenic to
humans.
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. More than one
disconnect switch may be required to deenergize the
equipment before servicing.
CAUTION: Operation of this heater in low-
temperature systems requires special piping.
Harmful internal condensation will occur if the inlet
water temperature does not exceed 105°F. Warranty
claims will be denied when condensation occurs.
When removing the burners or heat exchangers,
take precautions to avoid creating airborne dust and
avoid inhaling airborne fibers. When cleaning spills,
use wet sweeping or High Efficiency Particulate Air
(HEPA) filtered vacuum to minimize airborne dust.
Use feasible engineering controls such as local
exhaust ventilation or dust collecting systems to
minimize airborne dust. Wear appropriate personal
protective equipment including gloves, safety
glasses with side shields, and appropriate NIOSH
certified respiratory protection, to avoid inhalation of
airborne dust and airborne fiber particles.
CAUTION: If this heater is to be installed above
radiation level, it must be provided with a low water
cut-off device at the time of heater installation.

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
cause instant severe burns or death
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.

•
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

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 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.

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. 26 (horizontal) or Fig. 27 (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
drywall 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

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
ducting. The duct will attach directly to the air collar lo-
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.
The confined space shall communicate with the out-
doors in accordance with one of the methods below.
The minimum dimension of air openings shall not be
less than 3 in. (76 mm) in any direction. Where ducts

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 six flange nuts and the in/out header
from the left-hand side.
8. Remove the six flange nuts and the return header
from the right-hand side.
9. Remove the header stud bolts from each tube
sheet.
Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to
the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak
compounds.
10. Reverse the headers and stud bolts to the new
location.
To perform hydrostatic test:
11. Install NEW red beveled O-rings flush against both
tube sheets with the bevel facing outward.
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. Push the header firmly against the O-rings. Install
and tighten the flange nuts onto the stud bolts until
finger tight.
13. 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.
2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been
maintained throughout test.
14. Re-route the capillary(s), wiring etc. to the new
location, adding thermal paste and shim to the
capillary well.
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.
NOTE: See Raypak Catalog No. 1000.57 for infor-
mation on Cold Water Protection.
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 primary/sec-
ondary boiler installation with a bypass acting as the
secondary boiler piping. Raypak strongly recommends
that thermometer(s) be placed into the heater piping
next to the in/out header to facilitate temperature
adjustment. Inlet water temperatures below 105ºF
(41ºC) can excessively cool the products of combus-
tion, 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
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.
NOTE: Individual and multi-boiler Cold Water Start
systems require the use of a 20°F ∆T boiler pump.
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.
NOTE: To ensure proper operation, use 20°F ∆T
boiler flow rates when designing the heating system
loop pump.
Cold Water Starts
Temperature & Pressure Gauge
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
system, such as a three-way proportional valve or a
modulating two-way valve to control the bypass,
should be utilized.
The temperature and pressure gauge is factory-
mounted in the in/out header.
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 ∆T as design ∆T. (∆T is
the temperature difference between the inlet and out-
let water when the heater is firing at full rate). If a ∆T
of larger than 20°F is necessary, see Table H and
Table I for flow rate requirements.

(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.

When designing the water piping system for domestic
hot water applications, water hardness should be con-
sidered. Table I indicates the suggested flow rates for
soft, medium and hard water. Water hardness is ex-
pressed in grains per gallon.
Valves designed to blend water temperatures or
reduce water circulation through the heater should not
be used. Raypak heaters are high-recovery, low-mass
17
Potable Water and Space Heating
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.
CAUTION: When this heater is used for both
potable water and space heating, observe the
following to ensure proper operation.
Pool Heating
1. All piping materials and components connected to
the water heater for the space heating application
shall be suitable for use with potable water.
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.
2. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment,
shall not be introduced into the potable water used
for space 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.
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
circulate water through the heater from the main sys-
tem piping.
TANK SENSOR
To complete the installation of the pool heater, the pool
thermostat needs to be installed in the main return wa-
ter line, upstream of the heater. This will ensure that
the heater will be energized at the right time. If the
main water line is too far away from the heater and the
capillary bulb will not reach it, locate the pool thermo-
stat adjacent to the main line and run wires back to the
heater.

Automatic Chlorinators and Chemical
Feeders
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be
contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which
can damage the heater and void the warranty.
All chemicals must be introduced and completely di-
luted into the pool or spa water before being circulated
through the heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or
bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concen-
trations will result when the pump is not running (e.g.
overnight).
MIXING VALVE
Chlorinators must feed downstream of the heater and
have an anti-siphoning device to prevent chemical
back-up into the heater when the pump is shut off.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders
and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause
very rapid corrosion of the heat exchanger in the
heater. Such damage is not covered under the
warranty.
Fig. 14: Single Pool Heater Application
A thermostatically controlled mixing valve is used to
mix the outlet water with the pool water. This mixed
water is supplied as the inlet water to the pool heater.
The proper configuration is shown in Fig. 15. The
active element of the valve adjusts the mixing ratio to
maintain the inlet water above 105°F.
Winterizing Your Heater
Heaters installed outdoors in freezing climate areas
should be shut down for the winter. To shut down
heater, turn off manual main gas valve and main gas
shut-off. Close isolation valves and remove water pip-
ing from the in/out header on the heater. Drain the
heater and any piping of all water that may experience
below-freezing temperatures.
Pool/Spa Water Chemistry
NOTE: Chemical imbalance can cause severe
damage to your heater and associated equipment.
Water Hardness
Water hardness is mainly due to the presence of cal-
cium and magnesium salts dissolved in the water. The
concentration of these salts is expressed in mg/l, ppm
or grains per gallon, as a measure of relative hardness
of water. Grains per gallon is the common reference
measurement used in the U.S. water heater industry.
Hardness expressed as mg/L or ppm may be divided
by 17.1 to convert to grains per gallon. Water may be
classified as very soft, slightly hard, moderately hard
or hard based on its hardness number. The salts in
water will precipitate out when the water is heated and
will cause accelerated lime and scale accumulation on
a heat transfer surface.

will operate is the same type as specified on the
heater’s rating plate.
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.
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 K for maximum pipe lengths.
CAUTION: Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe
thread. A pipe compound rated for use with natural
and propane gases is recommended. Apply
sparingly only on male pipe ends, leaving the two
end threads bare.
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.
Gas Supply Connection
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
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.

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, 8 amps in its basic
configuration. Additional options may increase the
amp draw of the unit. The voltage is indicated on the
tie-in leads. Consult the wiring dia-gram shipped with
the heater in the instruction packet. The remote tank
control stat, thermostat, or electronic heater control (as
applicable) may be connected to the stage selector
terminal (See wiring diagram). 24 VAC is supplied to
this connection through the heater trans-former. DO
NOT attach any voltage to the stage selector termi-

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 at least
125% of minimum rating.

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.

2. Turn off all power to the heater. Verify that power
has been turned off by testing with a multi-meter
prior to working with any electrical connections or
components.
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.)
3. Observe proper wire colors while making electri-
cal connections. Many electronic controls are
polarity sensitive. Components damaged by

If the heater does not have a factory-wired stage con-
troller, it is factory-wired in an on-off configuration with
other stage terminals jumpered.
To field-connect a stage controller, remove factory-
installed jumpers and wire stage controller as shown in
Fig. 21.
Fig. 20: Wiring Location
CAUTION: Label all wires prior to disconnection
when servicing controls. Wiring errors can cause im-
proper and dangerous operation. Verify proper
operation after servicing.
Making the Electrical Connections
Refer to Fig. 18-23.
1. Verify that circuit breaker is properly sized by
referring to heater rating plate. A dedicated circuit
breaker should be provided.
CAUTION: For pumps larger than 3/4 HP, a
separate circuit breaker may be required.

DANGER: SHOCK HAZARD
Installer action is required to electrically enable your
heater to operate after making the power connections.
You must make a closed contact connection on Stage
1 connector of the Central Point Wiring (CPW) board
for temperature control connections. This will be done
based on the controller option selected with your
heater order.
Make sure electrical power to the heater is discon-
nected to avoid potential serious injury or damage to
components.
1. For Pool and Closed-Loop Water-Source Heat
Pump applications, your heater should be config-
ured to operate in an on-off firing mode. This
means that you will connect a single-pole control
to stage one of the CPW board. Then jumper the
remaining firing stages. For example, if your
heater is a Model 902B, you will jumper stages
two, three and four. Then your heater will either be
on at full fire, or it will be off.
2. For 2-stage controller connections, connect each
stage of the control to the corresponding stage of
the CPW board in the heater, i.e., stage 1 of the
heater to stage 1 of the control; stage 2 of the
heater to stage 2 of the control, as shown in Fig.
21 and 22. 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.
3. For single-stage controller connections, attach the
stage 1 connections on heater 1 to the tankstat per
Fig. 23.
Heater must be electrically grounded in accordance
with the NEC, and CSA C22.1 C.E.C. Part 1 in
Canada.

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.
ATTACH STAGE 1 CONNECTIONS
ON HEATER TO THE SINGLE STAGE
TANKSTAT AS SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAM ABOVE.
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.
Fig. 23: Single-Stage Tankstat
Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the heater in
the instruction packet or at the end of this section. The
stage-selector terminals are for the remote tank con-
trol through the heater’s 24 VAC transformer. DO NOT
attach any voltage to the stage-selector terminals.
Before starting the heater, check to ensure proper volt-
age to the heater and pump.
Category II – A heater which operates with a non-pos-
itive vent static pressure and with a vent gas
temperature that may cause excessive condensate
production in the vent.
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.
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.
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.
Venting
See Table M for appliance category requirements.
NOTE: For 87%-efficiency boilers, see special
instructions on page 40.
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.
CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is criti-
cal for the safe and efficient operation of the heater.
General
Flue Exhaust Tee
An optional Flue Exhaust Tee is available to facilitate
horizontal venting. Any reference to horizontal venting
that exits the back of the heater requires this tee. Refer
to Table L for the appropriate kit for your model.

1. Condensate can freeze on the vent cap. Frozen
condensate on the vent cap can result in a blocked
flue condition.
CAUTION: When condensate traps are installed,
condensate must be routed to an appropriate
container for neutralization before disposal, as
required by local codes.
2. Give special attention to the location of the vent
termination to avoid possibility of property dam-
age or personal injury.
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.
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.
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.
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-
fired equipment.
Use insulated vent pipe spacers where the vent pass-
es through combustible roofs and walls.
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.

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. 27: 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 N for Category I venting guidelines.
It is recommended that the intake vent be insulated in
colder climates.
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 the vent manufacturer’s installation instructions
carefully.
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.

lower left front of the control compartment is now
powered. If the switch is “ON” and there is no call
for heat (CFH), the heater is in standby mode.
6. 120 VAC power is waiting at the N.O. contacts of
K-3 relay to energize the heater blower.
7. The 120/24 VAC transformer outputs 24 VAC.
20. After the standby switch is placed into the “ON”
position, a 24 VAC signal is sent to the
“enable/disable” connection (normally jumpered).
8. 24 VAC is sent to pin L1 of the low water cut-off
(optional) and the red power light is energized.
21. 24 VAC switched power is applied to the S24V ter-
minal on the ignition module.
9. 24 VAC is applied to the blue power light located
on the status display board.
22. When the “enable/disable” contacts are closed,
the 24 VAC signal travels to pin 1 of the stage 1
connection and waits for a CFH.
10. 24 VAC is also applied to the red LED safety shut-
down light on the front status board until the
safeties have been proven.
23. When a CFH occurs, a 24 VAC signal is sent to the
CFH light on the status panel located on the lower
left front of the control compartment.
11. 24 VAC is applied to the alarm circuit (optional). If

42. Once the pressure switch signal is received at the
ignition module, the heater performs a 15-second
pre-purge and then the hot surface igniter is ener-
gized by a 120 VAC signal from S-1 on the ignition
module for approximately 30 seconds. (The hot
surface igniter must draw greater than 3.1 amps
while being energized or ignition lockout will occur
after three tries.)
31. A 24 VAC signal is also sent to the “TH” terminal
located on the ignition module.
32. Once the 24 VAC “TH” signal is received at the
ignition module, the internal contacts between F1
and F2 close sending a 120 VAC signal to the 120
VAC pilot duty terminals, located at J14 on the cir-
cuit board.

other burners of stage 1. The remote sensor is
now trying to sense the flame. If the flame is not
sensed within 4 seconds, the ignition module will
shut down gas valve 1 and retry the hot surface
igniter. During ignition retry the heater must per-
form a 15-second pre-purge and an approximately
30-second igniter warm-up before opening gas
valve 1 again. The standard ignition module will
attempt ignition a maximum of three times prior to
ignition lockout.

air-proving switch closes and the igniter is energized.
To ensure safe operation, the gas valve cannot open
until the igniter is verified. The main burner is automat-
ically lit when the device is powered and pre-purged.
The heater performs its own safety check and opens
the main valve only after the igniter is proven to be
capable of ignition.
48. If the ignition module locks out, a signal will be
sent to the Universal Diagnostics Board to indicate
an ignition fault.
The standard ignition module will attempt to light three
times before locking out. To reset it, turn off power to
the heater, wait 30 seconds and re-apply power. The
optional single-try ignition module will lock out after
failing to light one time. To reset it, press and release
the small, recessed black push button located inside of
the cut-out on the lower right-hand corner of the igni-
tion module case. Turning off the power to the heater

High Limit (Manual Reset)
Low Water Cut-Off (Optional)
The low water cut-off automatically shuts down the
burner whenever water level drops below the level of
the sensing probe. A 5-second time delay prevents
premature lockout due to temporary conditions such
as power fluctuations or air pockets.
The heater is equipped with a manual reset high limit
temperature device. Push the reset button and adjust
the setting to 40 - 50°F above desired operating tem-
perature.

High and Low Gas Pressure Switches
Flow Switch
The low gas pressure switch (optional) connection
mounts upstream of the gas valve to ensure that suffi-
cient gas pressure is present for proper regulator
performance. The low gas pressure switch automati-
cally shuts down the heater if gas supply drops below
the recommended setting of 5.0 in. WC for natural gas,
and 10.0 in. WC for propane gas.
This dual-purpose control, mounted and wired in
series with the main gas valve, shuts off heater in case
of pump failure or low water flow.
The high gas pressure switch (optional) connection
mounts downstream of the stage-1 gas valve. If the
gas pressure regulator fails, the high gas pressure
switch automatically shuts down the burner. The high
gas pressure switch automatically shuts down the
heater if gas manifold pressure rises above the recom-
mended setting of 5.0 in. WC for natural gas, and 11.5
in. WC for propane gas.

1. Press the UP or DOWN buttons on the membrane
switch for 2 seconds to access the fault history.
Pump Time Delay
2. Press either button to scroll through the recorded
faults in history.
The Economaster is a fully enclosed solid state TDR
with a white jumper that selects one of two time
delays. See Fig. 36. 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.
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.
In a conventional system, when the Aquastat is satis-
fied, the main gas valve closes, but the pump
continues operating. With the time delay relay the boil-
er 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.
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.
Diagnostic information is provided any time a fault is
recorded. This information is intended to assist in
locating the problem with the heater, but is not exhaus-
tive.

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

Installation
These installations utilize the boiler-mounted blower to
draw combustion air from outdoors and vent combus-
tion products to the outdoors.
WARNING: No substitutions of flue pipe or vent
cap material are allowed. Such substitutions would
jeopardize the safety and health of inhabitants.
The total length of the direct vent through-the-wall
exhaust vent cannot exceed 40 ft in length for the flue
outlet. Each elbow used is equal to 10 ft of straight
pipe. This will allow installation in one of the three fol-
lowing combinations:
The stainless steel flue exhaust direct vent cap must
be furnished by the boiler manufacturer in accordance
with its listing (sales order option D-15).
Use only double-wall vent pipe and the special gas
vent pipes listed for use with category II or IV gas burn-
ing boilers, such as the stainless steel Saf-T vent by
Heat Fab Inc. (800-772-0739), Protech Systems Inc.
(800-766-3473), Z-Flex (800-654-5600) or American
Metal Products (800-423-4270). Pipe joints must be
positively sealed. Follow the vent manufacturer’s
installation instructions carefully.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS:
START-UP
•
•
Do not try to light any appliance.
Do not touch any electrical switch; do not use any
telephone in your building.
Pre Start-up
•
Immediately call your gas supplier from a neigh-
bor’s telephone. Follow the gas supplier’s
instructions.
Filling System (Heating Boilers)
Fill system with water. Purge all air from the system.
Lower system pressure. Open valves for normal sys-
tem operation, and fill system through feed pressure.
Manually open air vent on the compression tank until
water appears, then close vent.
•
•
If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire
department.
Use only your hand to push in or turn the gas con-
trol knob. Never use tools. If the knob will not turn
by hand, do not try to repair it, call a qualified serv-
ice technician. Forced or attempted repair may
result in a fire or explosion.
Air Purge (Domestic Hot Water
Heaters)
Purge all air from system before lighting heater. This
can be normally accomplished by opening a down-
stream valve.
•
•
Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water, immediately call a qualified service
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace
any part of the control system and any gas control
which has been under water.
NOTE: Boil-out information: The oils, grease and
other contaminates found in some gas fired boilers
are not present in the water side of a Raypak
appliance. Most boil-out procedures require the use
of an alkaline (high pH) cleaning agent that will
damage the copper finned tubes of the heat
exchanger. Heat exchangers damaged due to boil-
out are not covered under warranty.
Check around unit for debris and remove com-
bustible products, i.e. gasoline, etc.
Pre Start-up Check

Main Burner Adjustment
1. Turn off unit.
Attach Manometers to Measure Pressures
1. Turn off main gas valve.
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
3.5 ± 0.1 in. WC for natural gas and 10.5 ± 0.1 in.
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
be required. Verify rating plate and blower housing.
3. If the pressure is > 14.0 in. WC, turn off the valve.
4. Check if the service regulator is installed and/or
adjust the service regulator.
47
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
pressure.
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
2. Cycle heater several times and re-check readings. the first automatic valve, this is a bleedle valve. On the
other valves, this is a plugged port. The bleedle valve

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
one to three burner sections. Each burner section is
supplied 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. 42. 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.
48
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:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
