GENERAL SAFETY
To meet commercial hot water use needs, the high
limit safety control on this water heater will shut off the
main gas valve before the outlet temperature reaches
210°F. However, water temperatures over 125°F can
cause instant severe burns or death from scalds.
When supplying general purpose hot water, the rec-
ommended initial setting for the temperature control is
125°F.
Safety and energy conservation are factors to be con-
sidered when setting the water temperature on the
thermostat. The most energy-efficient operation will
result when the temperature setting is the lowest that
satisfies the needs of the application.
Water temperature over 125°F can cause instant
severe burns or death from scalds. Children, disabled
and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• Temperature limiting valves are available.
Maximum water temperatures occur just after the
heater’s burner has shut off. To determine the water
temperature being delivered, turn on a hot water
faucet and place a thermometer in the hot water
stream and read the thermometer.
This section applies to Hot Water Supply Boilers and
Hot Water Heaters ONLY. For sanitary rinse applica-
tions where outlet temperatures of 180°F to 195°F are
required, a boiler is recommended since the 210°F
limit on water heaters will NOT allow the heater to
maintain these desired sanitary rinse temperatures.
Water temperature over 125°F can
cause instant severe burns or death
from scalds.
Children, disabled, and elderly are
at highest risk of being scalded.
See instruction manual before set-
ting temperature at water heater.
Feel water before bathing or show-
ering.
Temperature limiting valves are
available, see manual.
Time/Temperature

Combustion Air Filter
This heater is supplied with an integral combustion air
filter. This filter will reduce the amount of particulates
passed through the combustion system and heat
exchanger but will not protect against chemical inside
air contamination (See Appendix). The filter must be
checked periodically to verify that adequate combus-
tion air is being supplied to the heater. See the
Maintenance section of this manual for information on
checking the filter and establishing service intervals.
Direct Vent
If outside air is drawn through the intake pipe directly
to the unit for combustion:
1. Convert the unit to draw air through an air intake
duct at the rear of the cabinet. As shipped,
XTherm heaters draw combustion air from inside
the cabinet.
6. Optional—For applications where condensation
may form on cold intake air ducting, install the con-
densate drip pan to the bottom of the air filter box
using the four screws provided (make sure the pan
is angled slightly downward toward the rear of the
heater as shown in Fig. 9).
7. Remove the air intake cover panel by removing
the 5 phillips head screws holding it in place.
2. Turn off all power to the heater.
3. Ensure that the heater is cool to the touch before
proceeding with the installation.
4. Remove both the left and right rear side access
panels.
5. From the right-rear side access area, install the
inside air intake cover panel using the nine hex-
head screws provided (see Fig. 8).

12. Provide adequate ventilation of the space occu-
pied by the heater(s) by an opening(s) for
ventilation air at the highest practical point com-
municating with the outdoors. The total
cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.2of free
area per 20,000 BTUH (111 mm2per kW) of total
input rating of all equipment in the room when the
opening is communicating directly with the out-
doors or through vertical duct(s). The total
cross-sectional area shall be at least 1 in.2of free
area per 10,000 BTUH (222 mm2per kW) of total
input rating of all equipment in the room when the
opening is communicating with the outdoors
through horizontal duct(s).
13. In cold climates, and to mitigate potential freeze-
up, Raypak highly recommends the installation of
a motorized sealed damper to prevent the circula-
tion of cold air through the heater during the
non-operating hours.
TruSeal™ Combustion Air
In addition to the 13 previous steps, combustion air
may be ducted directly to the heater by using PVC,
CPVC or sealed single-wall galvanized ducting. The
duct will attach directly to the field installed air collar
located on the rear of the heater, using three or four
sheet metal screws (not supplied) equally positioned
around the circumference of the duct. The screws and
duct connection point should be sealed with RTV (not
supplied). TruSeal is generally used when damaging
contaminants are present in the mechanical room. All
ducting must be self-supported.
12
CAUTION: Use TruSeal combustion air if
damaging airborne contaminants are or may be
present in the heater area. See the Appendix of this
manual regarding air contamination.
8. Remove the debris screen (or cover panel for
model 1005) by removing the six screws holding it
in place.
9. Install the intake air collar using the six screws
removed in step 8 above.
10. Replace all the access panels.
11. Install combustion air direct vent in accordance
with Fig. 27 (horizontal) or Fig. 28 (vertical) of this

inches of the boiler outlet (if possible) in an easily
readable location. Installation must comply with ASME
Section IV as well as all applicable national, state and
local codes.
Hydrostatic Test
Unlike many types of heaters, this heater does not re-
quire hydrostatic testing prior to being placed in
operation. The heat exchanger has already been fac-
tory-tested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure.
However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatic test-
ing of the piping connections to the heater and the rest
of the system prior to operation. This is particularly
true for hydronic systems using expensive glycol-
based anti-freeze. Raypak recommends conducting
the hydrostatic test before connecting gas piping or
electrical supply.

3. For heaters not using a barometric damper in the
vent system, and when air supply is provided by
natural air flow from outdoors for a power burner
and there is no draft regulator, drafthood or similar
flue gas dilution device installed in the same
space, in addition to the opening for ventilation air
required in 1., there shall be a permanent air sup-
ply opening(s) having a total cross-sectional area
of not less than 1 in.2for each 30,000 BTUH (74
mm2per kW) of total rated input of the burner(s),
and the location of the opening(s) shall not inter-
fere with the intended purpose of the opening(s)
for ventilation air referred to in 1. This opening(s)
can be ducted to a point not more than 18 in. (450
mm) nor less than 6 in. (152 mm) above the floor
level. The duct can also “goose neck” through the
roof. The duct is preferred to be straight down 18
in. (450 mm) from the floor, but not near piping.
4. Refer to the B149 Installation Code for additional
information.
Water Piping
General
The heater should be located so that any water leaks
will not cause damage to the adjacent area or struc-
tures.
WARNING: Care must be taken to ensure that the
equipment room is not under negative pressure
conditions. WARNING: Pressure relief valve discharge piping
must be piped near the floor and close to a drain to
eliminate the potential of severe burns. Do not pipe
to any area where freezing could occur. Refer to
local codes.
CAUTION: This heater must be installed with a
Primary-Secondary piping arrangement for the
integral pumping system to function properly.
NOTE: Minimum pipe size for the heater inlet/outlet
connections is dependent on the equivalent length of
piping between the load loop and the heater loop,
the operating conditions and the size of the heater.
See Table G on page 16.
WARNING: The pressure relief valve must be
installed at the outlet of the heater. No valve is
permitted to be installed between the heater and the
relief valve.

Leaks must be repaired at once to prevent damage to
the heater. NEVER use petroleum-based stop-leak
compounds.
To perform hydrostatic test:
1. Connect fill water supply. With bleed valve open,
fill heater with water. When water flows from bleed
valve, shut off water. Close bleed valve. Carefully
fill the rest of the system, making sure to eliminate
any entrapped air by using high-point vents. Close
feed valve. Test at standard operating pressure for
at least 24 hours.
2. Make sure constant gauge pressure has been
maintained throughout test.
3. Check for leaks. Repair if found.
Raypak Integral Cold Water
Protection
XTherm heaters are equipped with an integral cold
water protection system. Units equipped with the dual
injector pump system are designed to operate with
heater inlet water temperatures down to 50°F continu-
ous. Under start up conditions the dual injector system
can operate with fluid temperatures down to 32°F.
Operation at lower temperatures will create unwar-
rantable damage to the injector pumps. XTherm WH
and WHP models equipped with single injector pumps
are designed for typical domestic hot water and com-
mercial pool heating operating conditions respectively.
Contact your local representative or the factory for
applications assistance.
Hydronic Heating
Pump Selection
The heater is equipped with an integral cold water pro-
tection system that includes dual modulating injector
pumps to pull the required flow from the system loop
and a heater pump, sized by the factory, for the opti-
mal ΔT across the primary heat exchanger. The
system is designed for continuous return temperatures
from 50°F to 180°F.
CAUTION: Damage due to internal condensation
may occur if the heater inlet water temperature does
not exceed 50°F (22°C) within 7 minutes of start-up.
Feedwater Regulator
Raypak recommends that a feedwater regulator be in-
stalled and set at 12 psi minimum pressure at the
highest point of the system. Install a check valve or
back flow device upstream of the regulator, with a
manual shut-off valve as required by local codes.
Piping
All high points should be vented. A heater installed
above radiation level must be provided with a low wa-
ter cut-off device (sales order option F-10). This
heater, when used in connection with a refrigeration
system, must be installed so that the chilled medium is
piped in parallel with the heater with appropriate
valves to prevent the chilled medium from entering the
heater.
The piping system of a hot water heater connected to
heating coils located in air handling units where they
may be exposed to circulating refrigerated air, must be
equipped with flow control valves or other automatic
means to prevent gravity circulation of the heater
water during the cooling cycle. It is highly recommend-
ed that the piping be insulated.
Air-Separation/Expansion Tank
All heaters should be equipped with a properly sized
expansion tank and air separator fitting as shown in
Fig. 13.
Three-Way Valves
XTherm heaters have an integral cold water protection
system to maintain required temperatures and flow
rates.
Fig. 13: Air-Separation/Expansion Tank
WARNING: Three-way valves intended to regulate
system water temperatures by reducing flow in the
boiler should not be used.

Domestic Hot Water
When designing the hot water piping system for
domestic hot water applications, water hardness
should be considered. See Table H on page 18 for the
required tubing sizes and expected supply tempera-
tures for different operating conditions. Water
hardness is expressed in grains per gallon.

NOTE: If local codes require a vacuum relief valve,
acquire one locally and install per valve
manufacturer’s instructions.
Potable Water and Space Heating
1. All piping materials and components connected to
the water heater for the space heating application
shall be suitable for use with potable water.
2. Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment,
shall not be introduced into the potable water used
for space heating.
3. If the heater will be used to supply potable water,
it shall not be connected to any heating system or
components previously used with a non-potable
water heating appliance.
4. When the system requires water for space heating
at temperatures higher than 140°F (60°C), a
means such as a mixing valve shall be installed to
temper the water in order to reduce scald hazard
potential.
Pool Heating
When a boiler or water heater is used in a pool heat-
ing application, ensure that all the following installation
requirements are met.
The XTherm must be equipped with a direct coupled
Cold Water Run injector pump for pool applications.
The integral wet rotor injector pump system supplied
with all H and model 1005 WH XTherm heaters must
not be used for pool service. The direct coupled Cold
Water Run injector pump package is optional on all H
and 1005 WH models and standard on 1505 and 2005
WH and all WHP models. The Cold Water Run system
must be set to maintain 120°F at the inlet to the pri-
mary heat exchanger on all XTherm models.
To complete installation of the pool heater, a pool ther-
mostat must be installed in the return water line,
upstream of the heater. For WHP models, mount the
system sensor in the return water line, upstream of the
heater. The supplied electronic operating control is
configured to operate as the pool thermostat. See Fig.
17 for the thermostat/sensor location.
CAUTION: When this heater is used for both
potable water and space heating, observe the
following to ensure proper operation.
Automatic Chlorinators and Chemical
Feeders
All chemicals must be introduced and completely di-
luted into the pool or spa water before being circulated
through the heater. Do not place chlorine tablets or
bromine sticks in the skimmer. High chemical concen-
trations will result when the pump is not running (e.g.
overnight). Chlorinators must feed downstream of the
heater and have an anti-siphoning device to prevent
chemical back-up into the heater when the pump is
shut off.
CAUTION: Power to the heater should be
interlocked with the main system pump to make sure
the heater does not fire without the main system
pump in operation. Improper flow control can
damage the heater. Uncontrolled flow (too high) or
restricted flow (too low) can seriously damage the
heater. Follow these instructions to make sure the
heater is properly installed.
Fig. 17: Single Pool Heater Application
CAUTION: Combustion air must not be
contaminated by corrosive chemical fumes which
can damage the heater and void the warranty.
NOTE: High chemical concentrates from feeders
and chlorinators that are out of adjustment will cause
very rapid corrosion of the heat exchanger in the
heater. Such damage is not covered under the
warranty.

Winterizing Your Heater
Heaters installed outdoors as pool heaters in freezing
climate areas should be shut down for the winter. To
shut down the heater, turn off manual main gas valve
and main gas shut-off. Close isolation valves. Drain
the heater using the hose bibs located on the bottom
of both heat exchangers. Disconnect the condensate
hose from the secondary heat exchanger and drain
the condensate trap.
Pool/Spa Water Chemistry
NOTE: There are 3 separate drains on the XTherm
that must ALL be drained to protect the heat
exchanger. These are accessible by removing the
lower front door from the heater for the 2 primary
drains and the right-rear panel for the secondary
drain. Drain any piping of all water that may
experience below-freezing temperatures.
Chemical imbalance can cause severe damage to the
pool heater and associated equipment. Maintain the
water chemistry according to the chart below. If the
mineral content and dissolved solids in the water
become too high, scale forms inside the heat exchang-
er tubes, reducing heater efficiency and damaging the
heater. If the pH drops below 7.2, this will cause corro-
sion of the heat exchanger and severely damage the
heater. Heat exchanger damage resulting from chem-
ical imbalance is not covered by the warranty.
For your health and the protection of your pool equip-
ment, it is essential that your water be chemically
balanced. The following levels must be used as a
guide for balanced water.
Occasional chemical shock dosing of the pool or spa
should not damage the heater providing the water is
balanced.
NOTE: Chemical imbalance can cause severe
damage to your heater and associated equipment.

Automatic chemical dosing devices are usually more
efficient in heater water, unless controlled, they can
lead to excessive chlorine level which can damage
your heater.
Further advice should be obtained from your pool or
spa builder, accredited pool shop, or chemical suppli-
er for the correct levels for your water.
Water Hardness
Raypak water heaters can operate lime/scale-free
using potable water with a hardness not exceeding 25
gpg for models 1005 and 1505, and not exceeding 16
gpg for model 2005. Proper operation is achieved by
setting the temperature rise/water flow per the guide-
lines in the installation instructions. If the hardness of
the water exceeds the maximum level of 25 gpg spe-
cial measures must be taken to lower it. Water should
be softened to a hardness level no lower than 5 gpg.
Water softened as low as 0 to 1 grain per gallon may
be under-saturated with respect to calcium carbonate
resulting in water that is aggressive and corrosive.
Gas Supply
Gas piping must have a sediment trap ahead of the
heater gas controls, and a manual shut-off valve lo-
cated outside the heater jacket. It is recommended
that a union be installed in the gas supply piping adja-
cent to the heater for servicing. The gas supply
pressure to the heater must not exceed 10.5 in. WC for
natural gas or 13.0 in. WC for propane gas.
A pounds-to-inches regulator must be installed to
reduce the gas supply pressure if it is higher than
noted above. This regulator should be placed a mini-
mum distance of 10 times the pipe diameter upstream
NOTE: Failure of a heat exchanger due to lime
scale build-up on the heating surface, low pH or
other chemical imbalance is non-warrantable.
DANGER: Make sure the gas on which the heater
will operate is the same type as specified on the
heater’s rating plate.
CAUTION: The heater must be disconnected from
the gas supply during any pressure testing of the gas
supply system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psi
(3.45 kPa).
The heater must be isolated from the gas supply pip-
ing system by closing the upstream manual shut-off
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than
1/2 psi (3.45 kPa). Relieve test pressure in the gas
supply line prior to re-connecting the heater and its
manual shut-off valve to the gas supply line. FAILURE
TO FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE MAY DAMAGE
THE GAS VALVE. Over-pressurized gas valves are
not covered by warranty. The heater and its gas con-
nections shall be leak-tested before placing the
appliance in operation. Use soapy water for leak test.
DO NOT use an open flame.
Fig. 18: Gas Supply Connection
CAUTION: Do not use Teflon tape on gas line pipe
thread. A pipe compound rated for use with natural
and propane gases is recommended. Apply
sparingly only on male pipe ends, leaving the two
end threads bare.
CAUTION: Support gas supply piping with
hangers, not by the heater or its accessories. Make
sure the gas piping is protected from physical
damage and freezing, where required.

• Safety wiring must be NEC Class 1.
• Heater must be electrically grounded as required
by the NEC.
• In Canada, CSA C22. 1 C.E.C. Part 1.
XTherm heaters are wired for 120VAC single phase
power. Models 1005 and 1505, except WH 1505 mod-
els equipped with a heater pump for hard water,
require 15A service for the heater and 15A service for
the heater pump or a single 30A rated circuit. Model
1505 heaters equipped for hard water require 15A
service for the heater and 20A service for the heater
pump or a single 40A rated circuit. Model 2005
heaters require 20A service for the heater and 20A
service for the heater pump, or a single 40A service.
Consult the wiring diagram shipped with the heater.
Use appropriately sized wire as defined by NEC, CSA
and/or local codes. All primary wiring should be rated
for 125% of the minimum required service. Before
starting the heater, verify that the correct 120VAC volt-
age is being supplied to the heater and pump.
If any of the original wire supplied with the heater must
be replaced, it must be replaced with 105°C or its
equivalent.
Power is connected to the heater via the rear wiring
box as shown at the top of Fig. 19. Main heater power
is connected to terminals 1, 2 and 3 and pump power
is connected to terminals 4, 5 and 6.
Field wiring connections such as sensors, interlocks,
enable/disable and alarm contacts are made at the low
voltage terminal strip at the front of the heater as
shown at the bottom of Fig. 19.
Field-Connected Controllers
It is strongly recommended that all individually-pow-
ered control modules and the heater should be
supplied from the same power source.
Gas Supply Pressure
A minimum of 4.0 in. WC and a maximum of 10.5 in.
WC upstream gas pressure is required under load and
no-load conditions for natural gas. A minimum of 4.0
in. WC and a maximum of 13.0 in. WC is required for
propane gas. If upstream pressure exceeds these val-
ues, an intermediate gas pressure regulator, of the
lockup type, must be installed.
When connecting additional gas utilization equipment
to the gas piping system, the existing piping must be
checked to determine if it has adequate capacity for
the combined load. The gas valve pressure regulator
on the heater is nominally preset as noted in Table K.
During normal operation, carbon dioxide should be 8.5
to 9.0% at full fire for natural gas and between 9.5 and
10.0% for propane gas. Carbon monoxide should be
‹100ppm.
Electrical Power Connections
Installations must follow these codes:
• National Electrical Code and any other national,
state, provincial or local codes or regulations hav-
ing jurisdiction.
Natural Gas – 1,000 BTU/ft3, 0.60 specific gravity at 0.5 in. WC pressure drop
Propane Gas – 2,500 BTU/ft3, 1.53 specific gravity at 0.6 in. WC pressure drop
