Instruction Manual
WARNING
Improper installation, adjustment, alteration,
service or maintenance can cause serious
injury or property damage. Refer to this
manual. For assistance or additional
information, consult a qualified installer or
service agency.
CAUTION
The recommended temperature for normal
residential use is 120°E The dial on the
aquastat does not always reflect the out-
coming water temperature, which could
occasionally exceed 120°F. The variation in out-
coming temperature could be based on factors
including but not limited to usage patterns and
type of installation. Test your water at the tap
nearest to the water heater.
WARNING
Hotter water increases the risk of scald injury.
Before adjusting the water temperature setting,
read this instruction manual. Temperatures at
which injury occurs vary with the person's age
and the length of exposure.
The slower reaction time of children, elderly,
and physically or mentally challenged persons
increases the scalding hazard to them. It is
recommended that lower water temperatures
be used where these exposure hazards exist.
Such households may require a temperature
setting less than 120°F to prevent accidental
contact with hot water.
To lower water temperature use point-of-use
temperature limiting devices.
WARNING
Water heater blankets are not recommended
and will void the warranty.

SECTION Ih GENERAL INFORMATION
LOCATION
The indirect coil tank water heater should be located in a central location to the piping
system, as close as practical to the boiler and in an area not subject to freezing temperatures.
Leave sufficient space for servicing and maintaining the heater.
Note: Long heating supply runs can lengthen recovery times.
WATER TREATMENT/FILTRATION
In areas where poor water conditions are suspected (i.e. lime, iron, and other minerals), it is
essential that the water be tested and appropriate action taken to prevent damage to the
indirect heater and ensure the quality of the water.
TEMPERATURE CONTROL
Water temperature from the heat source /boiler to the indirect coil tank water heater is
controlled by an immersion aquastat. This control operates the circulator, and provides
limited control for domestic hot water temperature. The proper temperature setting for
domestic hot water use is 120°F/49°C. If hotter water is required a tempering device or
anti-scald device must be installed at the domestic hot water outlet of the heater or at the
point of use.
CAUTION: Hot water in excess of 120°F
can cause scalding[
HotLine recommends a tempering valve or anti-scald valve be installed and used according
to the manufacturer's directions to prevent scalding. Many state and local codes now require
installation of these devices. The tempering valve or anti-scald valve will ensure potable
water temperatures at the desired set point with a higher degree of accuracy.

SECTION II: GENERAL INFORMATION (cont.)
ANODE RODS
The anode rod is used as a sacrificial element within the volume of the storage tank. The
purpose of the magnesium anode rod is to protect the inside of the tank against corrosion.
Anode rods should be inspected twice in the first year and at least yearly once a time interval
for inspection has been developed. Water conditions can influence the consumption rate of
the anode rods. Please see the Maintenance section of this manual for instructions on how to
change the anode rods in your Hot Line water heater.
CAUTION: Hydl_gen gas is pl_duced in a hot water system ,served by this heater that has not been used fbr
along period of time (2 weeks or morzO. Hydr_gen gas is extlvmely flammable. To reduce &e risk of itqurT
under &ese conditions, it is recommended that &e /rot water faucet be opened for sever_l minutes at &e
kitchen sink bef!_w using any electrical appliance amnected to the hot water system. 14_hen hydr_gen is
present, there will pr_bably be an unusual sound .such as air escaping t/n_ug/l the pipe as the water begins to
flow. Therv should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open (UL 174).
TEMPERAURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALUE (T&P)
The T&P valve is factory installed. A discharge drain tube must be installed (responsibility of
the installer) and shall terminate plain, not threaded, 6 inches above the floor drain. The
drain tube material must be approved for temperatures of 120°F or greater, and a pressure of
150 PSI or greater.
BACK-FLOW PREVENTOR (CLOSED LOOP SYSTEM)
Some local municipal codes and ordinances require the use of these devices on potable
(domestic) water lines. Where back-flow preventors are required, it will be necessary to
install a thermal expansion tank (designed for used with potable water) in order to prevent
pressure build up in the indirect heater and associated piping, which could cause the T&P
valve to discharge. Follow the expansion tank manufacturer's recommendations when
selecting a tank for your hot water system.
Note: Working pressure of the water heater is 150 PSI. Do not exceed 150 PSI.
Page 7

SECTION II1: PRE-INSTALLATION
BOILER AND CIRCULATOR SIZING
The ratings published in this manual for your Hothine Indirect Coil Tank Water Heater can
be obtained through proper selection of boiler output and circulator capacity. As noted, the
ratings in Table 2 are based on a 77°F rise with 58°F potable water inlet temperature at a
circulator pump flow rate of 8 GPM. The boiler was set at 180°E See Table 3 for additional
first hour ratings at pump flow rates of 6, 8, 10 and 12 GPM with 180°F and 200°F boiler
water.
To determine the appropriate circulator for your system, follow these three steps:
1) Calculate the pressure drop of all straight pipe and fittings on the supply and return at the
desired flow rate.
2) Add the pressure drop from Step 1 to the pressure drop through the indirect coil tank
water heater coil (see Table 2 for friction loss) to obtain a total pressure drop.
3) Select a circulator pump that will provide adequate flow at the total pressure drop.
A pump performance curve should accompany every circulator pump. Figures 3-5 contain
performance curves for Taco and Grundfos circulator pumps, recommended by HotLine.

Figure 5: GRUNDFOS UP 26-64F performance curve
Note: Zone valves on the heat source supply to the indirect heater are not recommended
and will drastically reduce performance.
System performance can also vary based on the heating capacity of the boiler. If the
minimum coil output (assume coil output = boiler output) listed in Tables 2 and 3 is not met,
the output (first hour rating) of the water heater will not be met at the selected flow rate.
To approximate the reduction in first hour rating as a result of low boiler capacity, use the
following formula:
New first horn" rating =(First h(mr rating) *(Actr_al boiler orltlmt)/(Minimmn coil or_ttmt )
For example, the first hour rating of a 50SK at a 77°F rise with an 8 GPM heat source flow rate
using a boiler having a DOE heating capacity (output) of 60,000 BTU/Hr would be:
New first h(mr rating =(160 gal) * (60,000 BTU/Hr)/(77,000 BTU/Hr) =125 gal
Page 9

SECTION IV: INSTALLATION
WATER CONNECTIONS
All piping between the boiler and the indirect heater should be new copper with a
minimum size of 3/4" ID for models HL30SK, HL40SK, and HLSOSK. Use 1" minimum copper
for models HL80SK and HL119SK. Elbows should be minimized. A flow check valve must be
installed on the return line.
All piping to the inlet (cold) and outlet (hot) domestic water connections should be new
copper with a minimum size of 1/2" ID for models HL30SK, HL40SK, and HLSOSK. Use 3/4"
ID minimum for models HL80SK and HL119SK.
All piping should conform to local codes and ordinances. At a minimum, refer to IHLR 84
code if local codes are not in place. It is recommended that all piping be adequately
insulated with approved material to ensure minimum heat loss. If a re-circulation line is
used for domestic water, be certain that all lines are well insulated and the circulator is
temperature controlled. Install isolation valves to permit proper servicing. It is also
recommended to install a union on the domestic outlet to facilitate replacement of the hot
outlet /anode nipple on models HL30SK, HL40SK, and HLSOSK.
See Figures 6 and 7 for proper water connection installation.

Figures 9 and 10 are general wiring diagrams.
For a maintaining temperature boiler, Figure 9
should closely match your system. For cold start
boilers your wiring may resemble Figure 10, but
will vary depending on the boiler type and
controls or relays used. It is not possible to list all
wiring variations here. When connecting to a cold
start boiler, always remember that in principle an
indirect coil tank heater operates as another
heating zone. The difference is when the indirect
calls for heat, the indirect coil tank heater
circulator must start rather than opening a zone
valve; the system circulator stays off; and the
boiler must light to reach high limit.
WIRING NOTES:
1. Dashed lines indicate low voltage (24 VAC)
2. Use jumper wire between terminals #1 and #3
on R845 relay

SECTION V: MAINTENANCE
WATER PIPING
On an annual basis, all piping should be checked for leakage at joints, shut-off valves, and
unions.
T&P RELIEF VALVE
On an annual basis, the temperature and pressure relief valve should be checked for proper
operation. First, attach a drain line to the valve to direct the water discharge to an open
drain. This is very important because the temperature of the discharge could be very hot.
Second, lift the lever at the end of the valve several times. The valve should operate freely
and return to its original position properly. If water does not flow out of the valve, remove
and inspect for corrosion or obstructions. Replace with a new valve if necessary. Do not
repair the faulty valve as this may cause improper operation.
ANODE RODS
Anode rods should be inspected twice in the first year and at least yearly once a time interval
for inspection has been developed. It is recommended to check the rod(s) six months after
the heater is installed. If the anode rod had reduced in size by two-thirds of its original
diameter of 3/4" or shows signs of pitting, it is time for replacement. Take the following
steps when changing the anode rod(s):
1. Shut off water supply.
2. Open any faucet to relieve tank pressure.
3. Remove caps on water heater top; push insulation aside.
4. Use a 1 1/16" six-sided socket wrench and a breaker bar. Snap hard to break the anode
rod seal.
5. Remove rod(s) and replace with new rod(s).
6. Turn water supply back on and leave faucet open until air is out of line.
7. Turn faucet off and check that new rod(s) doesn't leak.
8. Snap caps back into place.
FLUSH THE TANK
The indirect coil tank water heater is glass lined. Elements in the water such as lime, iron
and other minerals may accumulate in the heater. It is recommended that the tank be
drained and flushed thoroughly once a year to prevent buildup in the tank.
