SAFETY 

 

The warranty on this water heater is in effect only when 

the water heater is installed and operated in accordance 

with these instructions.  The manufacturer of this water 

heater will not be liable for any injury or property 

damage resulting from failure to comply with these 

instructions. 

 

WARNING! This water heater must be installed strictly 

in accordance with the instructions enclosed, and local 

electrical, fuel and building codes.  It is possible that 

connections to the water heater, or the water heater 

itself may develop leaks.  IT IS THEREFORE IMPERA-

TIVE that the water heater be installed so that any 

leakage of the tank or related water piping is directed to 

an adequate drain in such a way that it cannot damage 

the building, furniture, carpeting, adjacent areas, lower 

floors of the structure or other property subject to 

water damage.  This is particularly important if the 

water heater is installed in a multi-story  building, on 

finished flooring or carpeted surfaces. DHT CANNOT BE 

HELD LIABLE for damage caused by water from the 

water heater, pressure relief valve, or related fittings.  

Closets without drains and carpeted areas are examples 

of unsuitable locations for any water heater.  Select a 

location as centralized within the piping system as 

possible.  The heater should be located in an area not 

subject to freezing temperatures in any location 

selected.  It is recommended that a suitable drain pan be 

installed under the water heater.  This pan shall be a 

minimum of 50mm (2 in.) deep and have a diameter that 

is a minimum of 50mm (2 in.) greater than the diameter 

of the water heater.  Suitable piping shall connect the 

drain pan to a properly operating floor drain. 

 

 

Relief Valve Requirements 

 

Caution:

 To reduce the risk of excessive pressures and 

temperatures in this water heater, install temperature 

and pressure protective equipment required by local 

codes.  It should be no less than a combination tempera-

ture and pressure relief valve certified by a nationally 

recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic 

inspection of production of listed equipment or materi-

als, as meeting the latest edition of ANSI  Z21.22: 

Requirements for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas 

Shut-off Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems. This 

valve must be marked with a maximum set pressure not 

to exceed the marked MAXIMUM working pressure of the 

water heater (150 PSI). Install the valve into an opening 

provided and marked for this purpose in the water 

heater, and orient it or provide tubing so that any 

discharge from the valve will exit only within 6 inches 

above, or any distance below the structural floor and 

cannot contact any live electrical part.  The discharge 

opening must not be blocked or reduced in size under 

any circumstances.  The end of the relief pipe opening 

should terminate near a floor drain or other suitable 

location not subject to blocking or freezing.  DO NOT 

thread, plug or cap the relief pipe opening. 

 

DANGER 

NOTICE 

The Techtanium Indirect-fired water heater is deemed to be used in a "commercial 

setting" if at any time the unit is operated at a temperature over 150ºF. Refer to warranty 

for additional information. 

• Water temperatures over 125ºF can cause severe burns   
   instantly, or death from scalds. 
• Children, disabled, and elderly are at the highest risk of  
   being scalded. 
• See instruction manual before setting temperature at water  
   heater. 
• Feel water before bathing or showering. 
• Temperature limiting valves are available, see manual.

1.  The  following  guidelines  apply  to  residential  systems  only.  For  commercial  or  institutional  installations  contact  the 

factory directly for assistance. 

 

2. Determine the quantity of domestic hot water required. Factors to consider: 

 

 

a. Estimate typical peak hour demand. Determine the general time of day (morning, noon, evening) when the  

 

most hot water is used.  Use chart below to determine potential maximum usage.

b.  Estimate  unusual  peak  draw  demand.    Whirlpool  baths,  hot  tubs,  and  mutltiple  head  showers  require  large 

quantities of hot water in a short period of time.  Contact fixture manufacturer for quantity of water required.  

Generally speaking, these circumstances can only be met with larger storage volumes. 

 

c.  Domestic  Water  Temperature.  Most  residential  usage  will  be  satisfied  with  119ºF  water,  the  temperature 

setting  recommended  by  the  Consumer  Product  Safety  Commission.    Some  applications  such  as  laundry  and 

dishwashers may require a higher temperature. 

 

Ratings can be improved by increasing Techtanium thermostat setting and using a mixing valve to temper the 

hot water to the proper temperature.  When temperatures greater than 119ºF are required, use a mixing valve at 

the outlet of the water heater or anti-scald fittings at point of use.

INSTALLATION/PIPING 

 

The Location of the Techtanium heater. 

 

Locate  the  heater  so  that  there  is  easy  access  to  the 

control, piping, valves, drain and heater for future servicing 

and maintenance. The heater is to be kept in an area where 

it is not exposed to freezing temperatures. 

 

Also, the heater must be located in an area where a leak 

(eg. from the piping€ or fittings, from any temperature and 

relief  valve  discharge,  or  from  the  tank  itself),  will  not 

cause personal harm or damage the surrounding area. The 

tank should be installed in an area with a floor drain or in a 

pan suitable for water heaters. 

 

DHT  will  not  be  held  liable  for  any  damages  caused  by 

water leakage. 

 

The  floor  or  area  where  the  tank  is  installed  must  be 

capable  of  supporting  the  tank  when  filled  with  water. 

(Refer to Table at right.) 

PIPING

1. General

a. All plumbing must be in accordance 

with the requirements of the author-

ity having jurisdiction.

b. Use both thread tape and pipe

dope on all mechanical connections.

c. Zone valve (if used) and circulator 

must be sized to provide minimum 

flow rate specified in the table to the 

right, Flow Specifications. Use 1 inch 

nominal copper tubing between boiler 

and heat exchanger. See the tables 

on Friction Loss.  Point of emphasis: 

using a zone valve without a full bore 

may cause high pressure drop which 

will adversely affect performance. 

Use extreme care when selecting 

zone valve.

d. All piping must be adequately 

supported.

e. Allow for thermal expansion.

f. Dielectric Unions (recommended) - 

used to electrically isolate the 

Techtanium tank from the connected 

domestic water piping. This helps to 

minimize the possiblity of corrosion 

damage.

INSTALLATION/PIPING (cont’d)

PIPING

2. Domestic Water

a. Cold Water In. Install brass tee and drain valve (not 
provided). Install shutoff valve between water supply 
and cold water inlet for ease of service as shown in the 
exhibit below.

b. Standard Domestic Hot Water Out. A heat trap will 
improve energy efficiency by reducing piping heat loss.

Thermostatic Mixing Valve

At times a thermostatic mixing valve may be recom-
mended or required.  The thermostatic mixing valve 
blends domestic cold water with hot water exiting from 
the heater, to yield a more constant desired tempera-
ture.  Risk of scalding is not eliminated with the use of a 
thermostatic mixing valve.  Refer to literature provided 
by valve manufacturers for recommended installation.

Expansion Tank

When a back flow device or no return valve is installed in 
the system a Thermal Expansion Tank designed for use 
with potable water will be required. Locate the expansion 
tank on the domestic cold water line near the heater 
between the back flow device or no return valve and the 
heater (see piping diagrams). Refer to the Thermal expan-
sion Tank manufacturer literature for sizing.

Vacuum Breaker

DHT recommends that a vacuum breaker be installed on 
the domestic piping to the heater.  The vacuum breaker 
protects the heater in the event that tank pressure falls
below atmospheric pressure.

Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve( T & P)

A T & P is required on all Techtanium heaters.  Install a
T & P valve (long element type) into the tapping 
designated for the T & P.

Install temperature and pressure protective equipment 
required by local codes, but no less than a combination 
temperature and pressure relief valve certified as meeting 
the requirements for relief Valve and Automatic Shutoff 
Devices for Hot Water systems, ANSI Z21.22, by a nation-
ally recognized testing laboratory that maintains periodic 
inspection of listed equipment or materials.

The valve must be oriented, provided with tubing or 
otherwise installed so that discharge can exit only within 
six (6) inches above, or at any distance below, the struc-
tural floor, and cannot contact any electrical part.  The 
valve must be piped to an area where discharge will not 
cause personal injury or damage the surrounding area.

WARNING!

TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

INSTALL A T & P WITH A RATED CAPACITY THAT IS 

EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE OUTPUT OF THE 

ENERGY SOURCE.

REMOVAL OF THE T & P, OR FAILURE TO REPLACE 

TEMPERATURE- PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE,  WILL 

RELEASE THE MANUFACTURER FROM ANY CLAIM

WHICH MIGHT RESULT FROM EXCESSIVE

WIRING 

All  wiring  must  be  done  in  accordance  with 

National,  State  and  local  codes.  Adhere  to  the 

National  Electric  Code  -  ANSI/NFPA  70-1990  in 

the absence of any other codes. 

Power  must  be  shut  off  before  installing  or 

servicing the heater. A separate shut off switch 

should be installed to support future servicing or 

an  emergency  shut  down.  The  entire  heating 

system should have its own designated electrical 

circuit. 

The  Techtanium  heater  operates  in  much  the 

same  way  as  an  additional  heating  zone,  either 

utilizing  the  same  circulator  as  household 

heating  or  its  own  circulator.   The  heater 

temperature  is  maintained  by  the  use  of  an 

immersion  type  aquastat.   The  aquastat  is 

installed  into  the  immersion  well  on  the  heater 

and  secured  by  tightening  the  set  screw  or 

clamp. 

The aquastat operates in much the same way as 

a thermostat. When the temperature falls inside 

the  tank  the  set  of  contacts  make  (close)  and 

when  the  temperature  rises  the  contacts  break 

(open). 

The  aquastat  should  be  tied  into  the  boiler 

system and controls. When the tank calls for heat 

the aquastat contacts close and signal the boiler 

controls,  allowing  the  boiler  to  maintain 

temperature  and  proper  operation  of  the  tank 

circulator. 

DHT recommends the use of a priority control to 

help the boiler maintain desired temperature and 

satisfy the tank's BTU requirements. 

The  Techtanium  heater  recovery  ratings  are 

based  on  the  boiler's  ability  to  mainatain  180 

degrees  Fahrenheit.   It  is  important  that  the 

installer,  plumber  or  heating  technician 

responsible  for  installing  the  heater,  make 

certain that the boiler capacity (BTU) is adequate 

to satisfy the heater's BTU requirements.

MAINTENANCE

To ensure efficient and safe operation, DHT recommends 
the servicing of the heater by a competent service techni-
cian.

Lime or Sediment Buildup (Every 6 months)

To reduce the buildup of lime or sediment it is recom-
mended that the tank be flushed every six months.

1. Drain the tank through the drain valve at the bottom of 
the tank until the water is clear.
2. Inspect the tank for any deposits of lime or sediment.
3. Remove lime, scale or deposits using care not to 
damage the tank lining.

Temperature & Pressure Relief Valve (Every 12 months)

1. Before manually testing theT & P valve, make sure the 
valve is piped in a manner that will not cause harm or 
damage any surrounding area.
2. Manually open the relief valve and allow it to flush out 
any lime or sediment deposits.
3. Allow the relief valve to snap shut, making sure the seal 
closes properly.

Magnesium - Anti-Corrosion Anodes (No longer than every 
12 months)

The Techtanium Water Heater is provided with two magne-
sium anti-corrosion anodes, an upper and a bottom anode.  
Assessment of the condition of the bottom anode can be 
made by judging the condition of the upper anode.

Removal of the anodes:

1. Shut off all power to the heater.
2. Close the domestic cold water supply valve.
3. Open the household hot water taps.
4. Attach a hose to the drain valve located at the bottom of 
the heater and allow the heater to drain.
5. Unscrew the anodes.

EXAMINE THE ANODES AND REPLACE IF THEY SHOW 
SIGNS OF DETERIORATION. 

6. Replacement of the Anodes -- The use or P.T.F.E. tape is 
recommended to ensure watertight connection of the 
anodes.

Failure to inspect the anodes may result in premature 
failure of the heater.

LIMITED WARRANTY FOR DIVERSIFIED HEAT TRANSFER, INC. TECHTANIUM™ INDIRECT-FIRED WATER HEATER

Your Techtanium™ indirect-fired water heater is protected by these warranties. 

These warranties are applicable to original residential or commercial purchasers only.

THE FOLLOWING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND ARE GIVEN AND ACCEPTED IN LIEU OF ANY AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, 
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND ANY OBLIGATION, 
LIABILITY, RIGHT, CLAIM OR REMEDY IN CONTRACT OR TORT, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM DIVERSIFIED HEAT TRANSFER’S NEGLIGENCE, ACTUAL OR 
IMPUTED.

THE REMEDIES OF THE ORIGINAL PURCHASER SHALL BE LIMITED TO THOSE PROVIDED HEREIN TO THE EXCLUSION OF ANY OTHER REMEDIES INCLUDING 
WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL AND/OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOST 
PROFIT, OR DAMAGES ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY ANY FAILURE OF DIVERSIFIED HEAT TRANSFER TO MEET ANY OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT 
INCLUDING THE OBLIGATION TO REPAIR AND REPLACE SET FORTH BELOW.  

NO AGREEMENT VARYING OR EXTENDING THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, OR THIS LIMITATION WILL BE BINDING UPON DIVERSIFIED HEAT 
TRANSFER UNLESS IN WRITING AND SIGNED BY A DULY AUTHORIZED OFFICER OF DIVERSIFIED HEAT TRANSFER. DIVERSIFIED HEAT TRANSFER DOES NOT 
ASSUME OR AUTHORIZE ANY OTHER PERSON TO ASSUME FOR IT ANY OTHER LIABILITY IN CONNECITON WITH THE SALE OF ITS PRODUCTS.

THIS WARRANTY EXTENDS ONLY TO THE FIRST (ORIGINAL) RETAIL PURCHASER OF THE TANK AND ONLY WHILE THE TANK IS OWNED BY THAT 
PURCHASER AND REMAINS AT ITS ORIGINAL LOCATION. CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OR RELOCATION OF THE TANK SHALL FOREWITH TERMINATE THIS 
WARRANTY WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.

WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR RESIDENTIAL USAGE - 7 YEARS

   The Warranties listed in this section shall apply to Diversified Heat Transfer Techtanium™ indirect-fired water heaters used in a residential setting by 
original purchasers only.  A “residential setting” as used herein shall mean usage either (a) in a single family dwelling in which the original consumer 
purchaser of the indirect-fired water heater resides on a permanent basis or (b) in a multiple family dwelling provided that such Techtanium indirect-fired 
water heater services only one family unit in a multiple family dwelling; provided that the term “residential setting” shall not include any usage of the 
Techtanium indirect-fired water heater above 150 degrees Fahrenheit.

   During the specified warranty period of the indirect-fired water heater, Diversified Heat Transfer Inc., will repair or replace, at its option, without charge, any 
indirect-fired water heater having a defect or malfunction that results in a water leak from the outside jacket, inner tank, or heat exchanger as a result of 
normal use and service.  It is expressly agreed between Diversified Heat Transfer and the original residential purchaser that repair or replacement is the 
exclusive and sole remedy of the original purchaser.

   Any claim under this warranty must be verified by an authorized Diversified Heat Transfer (also referred to as DHT) representative: if the claim is found to be 
valid, DHT will repair or replace the tank as set forth herein, within a reasonable time after verification.  If DHT chooses in its discretion to repair any 
indirect-fired water heater for which there is a valid warranty claim, DHT shall provide parts that are compatible with the subject indirect-fired water heater, 
which parts need not be identical to the original. If DHT chooses, in its discretion, to replace any indirect-fired water heater for which there is a valid warranty 
claim, DHT shall replace the subject indirect-fired water heater with the same model or, if such model is not available, with a model which is, in DHT’s 
reasonable judgment, the nearest compatible model available at the time of replacement. Removal of the Techtanium water heater and replacement with a 
different brand will fully invalidate this warranty coverage.

   If Diversified Heat Transfer is unable to repair or replace or otherwise comply with its liability under these warranties, after a reasonable number of 
attempts, then the original consumer purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for such breach shall be either a replacement product or a full refund of the 
purchase price (exclusive of freight, labor and installation), as determined by Diversified Heat Transfer. 

If the original purchaser cannot provide proof of purchase than DHT may request proof of residency dating back to the date of manufacture of the tank. In 
such case the warranty period will begin from the date of manufacture as determined by the tank serial number.

WARRANTY COVERAGE FOR COMMERCIAL USAGE - (THREE YEARS)

The warranties listed in this section shall apply to Diversified Heat Transfer Techtanium™ indirect-fired water heaters used in a commercial setting by original 
consumer purchasers only.  A “commercial setting” as used herein shall mean any usage not falling within the above definition of a “residential setting”. A Techtanium 
indirect-fired water heater shall be deemed to be used in a “commercial setting” if at any time it is operated at a temperature above 150 degrees Fahrenheit. 

   If at the time of a request for service the original business purchaser cannot provide a copy of the original sales receipt, installation bill, or equivalent 
document, then the warranty period for the indirect-fired water heater shall be three (3) years from the date of manufacture of the indirect-fired water 
heater as determined by the tank serial number.

REPLACEMENT TANK - WARRANTY  RESIDENTIAL OR COMMERCIAL APPLICATION

For either a residential or commercial application, the following applies to both when a replacement tank is provided for a tank found to be under warranty. 

The replacement tank warranty assumes the remaining warranty period left from the original tank purchased.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED BY EITHER OF THESE WARRANTIES

These warranties are void and shall not apply under the following circumstances:

1.    The Techtanium™ water heater was not installed or repaired by a heating contractor whose principal occupation is the sale, installation and repair of 
plumbing, heating and/or air conditioning equipment.

2.    These warranties cannot be considered as a guarantee of workmanship of an installer connected with the installation of the Techtanium water heater, or 
as imposing on Diversified Heat Transfer liability of any nature for unsatisfactory performance as result of faulty workmanship in the installation or repair 
which liability is expressly disclaimed.

3.    The failure or malfunction results from improper or negligent operation, abuse, misuse or maintenance or unauthorized alteration.

4.    Malfunctions resulting from, or repairs necessitated by, uses of the indirect-fired water heater for purposes other than  that for which it was designed, or 
resulting from flood, fire, wind, lightning, freezing or any other natural disaster or act of God, an act of destruction, theft or accident.

5.    The original serial number on the indirect-fired water heater or component thereof cannot be readily determined.

6.    Any indirect-fired water heater is installed in a setting containing any type of water softener system that is not installed and maintained in accordance 
with the manufacturer’s specifications.

7.    The Techtanium indirect-fired water heater is used for non-potable applications such as pool or process heating.

8.    The failure or malfunction results from failure to keep the tank full of potable water, free to circulate at all times and with the tank free of damaging water 
sediment or scale deposits.

9.    Components of an indirect-fired water heater which are not defective, but must be replaced during the warranty period as a result of reasonable wear 
and tear.

10.  Techtanium indirect-fired water heaters which are repaired or altered without prior written approval of Diversified Heat Transfer so as to affect adversely 
their reliability.

11.  Diversified Heat Transfer Techtanium™ indirect-fired water heaters installed outside of the United States and Canada.

12.  Service calls not involving any malfunction or defects and maintenance in the ordinary course.

13.  Components of an indirect-fired water heater which are not manufactured expressly for Diversified Heat Transfer; such components are subject only to 
those warranties, if any, given by their manufacturers.  Diversified Heat Transfer does not adopt and has no responsibility for those warranties.

14. Any Techtanium tank that does not have installed a new temperature and pressure relief valve bearing the American Society of Mechanical Engineers 
(A.S.M.E.) listing at the time of installation.

FURTHER LIMITATIONS OF WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES

These warranties give you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.  Some states do not allow the exclusion or 
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

   These are the only written warranties applicable to Diversified Heat Transfer Techtanium™ indirect-fired water heaters manufactured for and sold by 
Diversified Heat Transfer. Diversified Heat Transfer neither assumes nor authorizes anyone to assume for it any other obligation or liability in connection with 
said Techtanium indirect-fired water heaters.

   This warranty does not cover expenses or labor for disassembly, removal, shipment reassembly or reinstallation; the original purchaser will be 
responsible for such costs.

   Diversified Heat Transfer’s performance under these warranties may be contingent on shipment of components or equipment from suppliers.  Diversified 
Heat Transfer shall not be liable for any failure or delay in delivery due to any cause beyond its control including without limitation, strike, labor stoppage, a 
natural disaster (such as earthquake, flood, fire or storm), political insurrection or the unavailability of components, equipment or supplies.
