3 AquaStar 170 VP Specifications: SETTING THE INLET GAS PRESSURE FOR HIGH AL TITUDES The pressure regulator provided with the heater is set to deliver the proper gas pressure (as indicated on the rating plate and in the manual) for altitude up to 2500 feet (758 meters) above sea level.
4 CAUTION: RULES FOR SAFE OPERA TION If you are using the AquaStar for combined space heating and potable water heating ( see schematic diagram below), all piping and other components connected to the.
5 RULES FOR SAFE OPERA TION 1. Y ou should follow these instructions when you install your heater . In the United States: The installation must con- form with local codes or , in the absence of lo- cal codes, the National Fuel Gas Code ANSI Z223.1/NFP A 54.

7 LOCA TING YOUR HEA TER FOR SAFE PROPER COMBUSTION Carefully select the location of your new heater . For your safety and for proper heater operation, you must provide an abundant supply of combustion air and install a proper vent. The heater may still operate even when improperly installed.
8 8. This heater is not approved for closet instal- lation. For alcove installation, maintain the fol- lowing minimum clearances from all construc- tion for servicing and proper operations: Alcove A. T op 12 inches B. Front OPEN C. Back 0 inches D. Sides 6 inches (Left side 10" for ease of service) E.
9 The location of the relief valve must be readily accessible for servicing or replacement. T o ac- commodate the pressure relief valve, a suitable fitting connected to an extension of a "T" fitting can be sweated to the line.
10 Therefore, when operating at less than full output, the heater does not have its full heating capacity to warm the flue pipes to create a natural draft.
11 LIGHTING INSTRUCTIONS 1. STOP! Read the safety information above. 2. Push in gas control handle slightly and turn clockwise to "RED DOT" posi- tion. 3. W ait five (5) minutes to clear out any gas. If you smell gas, STOP! Follow "B" in the safety information on previous page.
12 SETTING THE W A TER TEMPERA TURE The AquaStar 170 water heater contains a flow restrictor set at 4 1/4 gpm. Its purpose is to assure that the hot water temperature will al- ways be within a comfortable range regardless of how high one may turn on the hot water fau- cet or how many faucets may be turned on.
13 valve discharges by itself, a problem exists and service is required. This could be due to a de- fective relief valve or to overheating. Pilot Flame: The pilot flame should burn with a clean sharp blue flame and should resemble Fig.4 below . If the flame is yellow , or if the cen- tral button Fig.
14 Letter references, e.g. "L" in this section refer to Fig. 2 on page 6. Introduction: The flow of gas to the AquaStar burners is triggered by a water flow valve. Numerous water related problems can cause this water flow valve to malfunction such as: 1.
15 4. Pilot orifice may not be correct for your type of gas. Pilot orifice is stamped: #15 for LP and #27 for NG. 5. Air in the Gas Line Note: Normally this is a problem only at the time of installation if the pipes have been worked on,a propane tank has been allowed to empty , or the heater has been shut down for a long time.
16 7. W ater valve parts may be dirty or compo- nents damaged. Note: If #4 is OK, skip this. W ater valve and component parts must be to- tally free of dirt. In hard water areas, mineral deposits can eventually (3-5 years) corrode water valve parts to a point where they will need replacing.
17 3. Burners are not shutting down immedi- ately when hot water is turned off If burners don't shut off immediately when hot water is turned off, the heater will overheat and the ECO will shut off the gas. Replace both parts in the water valve assembly (part #38475, 33071).
18 6. Parts in water flow valve (#3841 1) are cor- roded The gas valve will not open fully if water valve parts are corroded. Replace both parts in wa- ter valve (#38475, 33071).

20 1. T urn AquaStar temperature setting to #8. This is all the way to the right, clockwise. 2. T urn on a hot water tap at the flow which will turn the AquaStar burners on. If the heater is working correctly , this minimum activation flow will be 3/4 of a gallon a minute, for Model 125/80 and 1.
21 PROCEDURE FOR REPLACING A THERMOSTAT Into Left Side of Heat Exchanger 5. Pull down on the thermostat piston assembly to remove it from the gas valve. NOTE: There is a Steel Wedge and an "O" Ring which should come out with the piston assembly.
22 Before the water leaves the AquaStar, it passes two energy CutOff Switches (ECO-#19). These are safety devices which cause other gas controls to shut off all the gas if the Heat Exchanger overheats. GAS FLOW PATH The appliance Gas Regulator (#23) at the inlet to the heater ensures that gas pressure fluctuations don’t over-pressure the heater.
