SPECIFICATION FOR DOMESTIC WATER HEATERS

Power Combustion, Low NOx, Gas-Fired Water Heaters with Nickel-Plated Storage Tanks

Furnish and install MAXIM power combustion gas water heater(s) as manufactured by PVI Industries, LLC

of Fort Worth, Texas. Supply quantities and model numbers as indicated on the plumbing schedule.

Gas and Electrical Consumption

The water heater will operate at a minimum of 82% thermal efficiency. The water heater will comply with paragraph

7.2.4.4, the thermal efficiency, the standby loss, and all other requirements of ASHRAE 90.1-1999.

Pressure Vessel and Heating Surfaces

The water heater will be a vertical fire tube design that is constructed and stamped in accordance with Section IV,

Part HLW of the ASME code. Both the storage and heating sections of the water heater will be National Board

Registered for a working pressure of 150 psi and will be pressure tested at 1-1/2 times working pressure. All tank

connections will be non-ferrous. The fireside of the heating surfaces will be of boiler-grade steel. The waterside of the

heating tubes will be sealed in copper. The heating tubes will be rolled, beaded, and seal welded into the tube sheets.

The combustion side of the tube sheet will be insulated by a layer of ceramic fiber that will protect the tube sheet from

both thermal stresses and failure that can result from the accumulation of scale and precipitants.

Tank Lining

The tank will be a plated with electroless nickel (EN). Plating will occur after the pressure vessel is completely

fabricated and all welding is completed. The EN plating will be a high-phosphorus (10%) and nonporous composition

suitable for submersion service (ASTM B733 standard may be used as a guideline). The finished lining will not require

sacrificial anode rods. For additional protection against galvanic corrosion, which may occur within the potable water

system, the EN plating may have a high-dielectric-strength polymer overcoat.

Burner and Venting

Combustion will be provided by a forced-draft power burner with a gas train meeting the following agency

requirement for the input specified:

___ UL (standard) ___ FM ___ IRI ___ Other ______________________

Burner and heating section will be certified to operate with NOx emissions not to exceed 30 ppm corrected to 3% O2

(at or above 400,000 Btu) and 55 ppm corrected to 3% O2 or 40 nanograms per joule (below 400,000 Btu). Water

heater will be a category I, non-condensing appliance. It will be UL listed for use with non-pressurized, type B venting

material.

Safety Controls

As a minimum, the heater will be equipped with the following:

•electronic flame monitoring with pre- and post-purge

•two immersion operating thermostats

•an immersion temperature limiting device

•an ____ ASME- or ____ AGA-rated temperature and pressure relief valve

•and options as selected on form PV 6382

Warranty Summary

The burner and all heater parts will have a one-year warranty. Storage tank, heating surfaces, and combustion

chamber will have a ten-year warranty covering manufacturing or material defects, leaks, and/or the production of rusty

water. Tank and heating surfaces will have a three-year warranty against failure due to scale buildup with no provisions

for periodic cleaning. The heater will have a _____ first year or ____ long-life service policy, which will cover replacement

labor and freight costs under certain conditions. Initiation and /or continuation of warranty coverage will not be

dependent upon annual inspections, regular replacement of anode rods, or water chemistry. Complete copies of all

warranties and service policies, including all exclusions and conditions, will be presented to the owner as part of the

submittal package. These summaries are not warranties. Consult warranty and policies for full details.

Finishing

The storage and heating sections will be completely factory packaged, requiring only job site hookup to utilities,
