Mighty Therm Volume Water Heater Page 3 SECTION 1. General Information 1A. Introduction This manual provides information for the installation and operation of Laars volume water heaters. It is strongly recommended that all application and installation procedures be reviewed completely before proceeding with the installation.
LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS Page 4 1C. Flow Requirements For proper operation, all low volume hot water heaters must have continuous flow through the heat exchanger when firing. The system pump must be capable of developing sufficient pressure to overcome the resistance of the heater plus the entire circulating system at the designed flow rate.

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS Page 6 2B-1. Combustion Air Supply 1. The heater location must provide sufficient air supply for proper combustion and ventilation of the surrounding area as outlined in the latest edition of ANSI standard Z223.1, and any local codes that may be applicable.
Mighty Therm Volume Water Heater Page 7 maintain clearances and prevent physical damage and separation of joints. 4. Avoid ending heater vents near air conditioning or air supply fans. The fans can pick up exhaust flue products from the heater and return them inside the building, creating a possible health hazard.
LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS Page 8 4. The boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig.
Mighty Therm Volume Water Heater Page 9 Special attention must be given to relief valve settings in installations where the heater is located on the ground floor of a tall building. The static pressure of the system is elevated and could cause the relief valve to leak.
LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS Page 10 2H. Pump Performance and Installation 1. The factory provided pump on PW heaters and the recommended field provided pump for model VW heaters are sized to provide proper circulation through the heater and heater-to- tank circulation loop (see Figures 11 and 12).

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS Page 12 CAUTION: 1. This piping arrangement is required on split systems to provide constant hot water temperatures. 2. Pipe size and length must conform to the recommendations for each heater model. 3. A loop circulator is required to maintain forced circulation in the building hot water piping system.

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS Page 16 2 I . Water Pressure It is very important that water pressure in the system be maintained above 30 psi. If the system pressure should drop below this, the vapor pressure of water in the suction side of the pump can cause hammer and cavitation in the pump and damage the heater through lack of water circulation.

LAARS HEATING SYSTEMS Page 18 gas supply, the automatic safety shutoff devices must be checked. 1. Before beginning the tests, make sure the main manual gas valve, and any other heater firing valves are in the “OFF” position. 2. Make sure the heater’s power switch is in the “ON” position.
Mighty Therm Volume Water Heater Page 19 depressed for one minute then release. Once the pilot is lit, the power is supplied through the aquastat to the main gas valve. 2. To set the temperature and high-limit controls: When using a tank aquastat: Set the tank aquastat to the desired tank temperature.
