HTP GL50 SuperStor 50 Gallon Glass Lined Plastic Jacketed Storage Tank - 5 Year Warranty

Features and Benefits:

• Glass lined steel tank for long life.
• 11/2"-thick foam insulation allows less than 1 degree F per hour heat loss (24 degrees F in 24 hours) for easy servicing.

Plumbing

• It is important that all plumbing is done in accordance with all local, state, and federal plumbing codes and that thread dope (provided) be used on all mechanical connections.
• NOTE: The use of heat, such as blow torches, etc., near the tank, may cause distortion to the high density polyethylene wrapper. Caution should be exercised
• NOTE: When filling the tank, make sure you open a hot water tap to release air in the booster tank and piping system.

Operating Your Glass Lined Storage Tank

• Boiler high limit should be set at least 20 degrees F. higher than the booster tank temperature setting. Temperature setting of 120 degrees F. is recommended, or use setting in accordance with local and state codes for normal operation. You may prefer a lower temperature setting to satisfy your needs. A mixing valve in connection with a higher temperature setting may be used for high demand applications (saunas, spas, hot tubs, whirlpools)
• NOTE: If draining of the tank is necessary, open the T & P valve or a hot water tap to prevent vacuum buildup in the tank and piping.

Domestic Hot Water Outlet Connection

Use both thread tape and pipe dope and connect an NPT brass tee (refer to dimensional information chart for the correct connection size for your tank) In the run off the brass tee, install an NPT brass T&P valve long element for hot water storage tanks, required by local codes, but not less than the valve certified as meeting the requirements for relief valves for hot water heaters (ANSI Z212B-1984) by a nationally recognized lab that maintains periodic inspection of production listed equipment. Make sure the relief valve is sized to the BTU and storage capacity of the tank. The temperature and pressure relief valve must be plumbed down so discharge can exit only 6” above or at any distance below the structural floor and cannot be in contact with any live electrical parts.
