FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
The fuel tank must be purchased separately and installed by a qualified fuel supply technician.
NOTE: Fuel tank installation must comply with National Fire Protection Association Code NFPA 31 or local-
ly applicable codes. Check with local building officials.
The following instructions should be followed for installation of a large capacity, gravity-fed fuel tank.
¡Installation height of tank's fuel outlet should be at least 12 in. above floor surface upon which the water
heater rests.
¡To avoid excess fuel pressure to water heater, the top of fuel tank should be no more than 8-1/2 ft. above
the bottom of the unit.
¡The inlet fuel pressure must not exceed 2.5 PSI. If the inlet pressure exceeds 2.5 PSI, a pressure reducer
(Part #10005099) must be used.
¡Fuel tank should be located at least 6 ft. away from all heat sources.
¡3/8" OD copper tubing should be used for the fuel line.
¡To prevent air locks in the fuel line, the fuel line should be smooth with no inverted U-shaped line or
sharp bends.
¡Install a UL listed fuel filter at the fuel tank outlet. Shut-off valves should also be installed on the fuel line
and connected to the tank as shown below. Unit should have a separate fuel line from fuel tank.
NOTE: An additional shut-off valve installed next to the exterior wall will minimize the amount of fuel to be
drained should the water heater need to be disconnected. If the valve is inside the building, a
fusible link type (Part #10005597) is recommended.
1. All external tank must be vented.
2. Install a UL listed fuel filter at the fuel tank outlet.
Specifications required of this fuel filter are as follows:
Type of Fuel: ASTM D3699 1-K kerosene, ASTM D396 Low Sulfre No. 1 or No. 2 Fuel Oil, or ASTM D975
Ultra Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD)
Rated Filtering Capacity: 2 GPH (Minimum)
3. The fuel supply tank must be positioned as to allow gravity feed to the unit and high enough to reduce
trapped air in the fuel line. Please refer to Section “D”, page 8 in the Operation and Maintenance
Instructions for the procedure to remove trapped air. (✽)
NOTE: If the maximum height is exceeded, a fuel pressure limiting valve is required. Part No.
10005099 has 3/8 in. (N.P.T.) inlet and outlet female openings to accept the fuel line fittings.
NOTE: Fusible Link Valve (#10005597)
¡It is most important that the valve, depending on its use, be fully opened or fully closed.
¡The top nut on the valve (below the turn handle) is sealed and should never be tightened or
removed.
¡When installing fuel lines to the valve, be sure to check for fuel leakage.
¡A LEAKING VALVE SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPLACED.

REMOVING AIR TRAP
When operating for the first time or when refueling an empty tank, air may be trapped in the fuel line, mak-
ing ignition difficult. In this situation, after removing the trapped air thoroughly from the fuel filter at the fuel
tank outlet, follow the procedures below:
1.
Press "POWER SWITCH" to "OFF" position. Disconnect the power supply cord.
2. Place a small container under the fuel strainer located inside the water
heater.
3. Loosen the screw on top of the strainer. Immediately wipe off any spilled
fuel.
4. Remove the trapped air thoroughly. Failure to remove all the air will cause a
noisy fuel pump, improper ignition and flame failure.
5. Tighten the screw after removing trapped air.
6. Plug into the receptacle. Press "POWER SWITCH" to "ON" position.
NOTE: In the event of an ignition failure, press "POWER SWITCH" to "OFF" position and after 10
seconds press "POWER SWITCH" to "ON" position once again.
TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION
At the time of installation, a temperature and pressure relief valve complying with the standard for Relief
valve for Hot Water Supply System, ANSI, shall be installed in the threaded fitting on the water heater. Local
codes should govern the installation of the relief devices.
Specifications required of this temperature and pressure relief valve are as follows:
Inlet (male): 3/4 in.
Temperature relief: 210°F
Pressure relief setting: 150PSI
Rated capacity: Min. 148,000 BTU/H
(a) No other valve should be placed between the relief valve and the water heater.
(b) Discharge from the relief device is routed to a suitable place for disposal when relief occurs.
(c) No reducing coupling or other restrictions should be installed in discharge line.
(d) Discharge line should be installed to allow complete drainage of the water heater.
Note: Manual operation of pressure relief valves should be done at least once a year.

OM-128HH_In_US.qxd 14.3.7 13:22 ページ 6

PLUMBING
WARNING: Plumbing should conform to proper plumbing methods, and in conformance with local codes
or regulations.
A licensed plumber familiar with local codes and ordinances should install the OM-128HH.
CAUTION: An ANSI (AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD INSTITUTE) listed temperature and pressure
relief valve should be installed at the hot water outlet connection of the heater at the time of
installation. Local codes should govern the installation of the relief devices.
If a check valve or one-way valve is required on the cold water supply line, it is recommended
that an expansion tank (100 psi, 8 gal. Min.) should be installed on the hot water supply line.
When the unit is to be installed as a replacement water heater, it is important to determine
whether a check valve has been installed or not.
Remove the check valve before installation of the unit unless a check valve is required by local code.
In order to prevent the water heater from being damaged or develop-
ing a leak, regardless of being used in a cold, warm or hot region, the
cold water supply piping, hot water supply piping, drain pipe, check
valve, valves, expansion tank, and temperature and pressure relief
valve should be protected with sufficient insulation materials to pre-
vent freezing (by wrapping with heat insulation or by equipping with a
freeze prevention heater).
Do not use a smaller pipe for connection at the hot water outlet. Using
a smaller pipe for connection will cause a greater air layer in the top of
the heat exchanger not allowing water to cover the temperature sensor.
Install a pipe as shown in the diagram when using a smaller pipe.
HEATING SYSTEM PLUMBING
NOTE: Select a place where the heating piping for the water heater and end convector can shortened as
much as possible.
NOTE: Make sure the piping for the convector is laid-out properly, and also check for leakage with a pres-
sure test.
NOTE: Circulation pump capacity should be selected in accordance with the water head loss caused by the
required maximum flow and the longest piping.
1. Install heat insulation material on the hot water piping to prevent heat loss.
2. In closed systems we recommend the use of an antifreege solution to prevent freezing and corrosion.
Check with the plumbing installer for the proper mix.
3.
Copper or stainless steel or cross-linked polyethylene pipe should be used for the main and branch pipes.
4. Be sure to connect a hot water pipe with the Expansion Tank, and install at the inlet side of the
Circulation Pump.
5. Install an Air Separator and Air Release Valve in the hot water pipe to release air inside of the pipe.
6. Be sure to install a bypass circuit. (Closing the hot water pipe with a thermal valve or temperature con-
trol valve may cause problems in the Circulation Pump.)
7. Be sure to install unions in the inlet and outlet sides for easy connections and/or removal.
8. Be sure to install a pressure relief valve on the intake side of the circulation pump used for the heating
piping. Set the pressure relief valve pressure to correspond to the capacity of the expansion tank. See
the items related to setting the pressure relief valve pressure and selection of the expansion tank con-
cerning the capacity of the closed expansion tank.
9. Use the following water quality when filling the system.

Selecting an Expansion Tank
Select an expansion tank by referring to the following calculation formula and the calculation formulas pro-
vided by the manufacturers of tanks sold commercially.
Supplying water to and releasing air from the heating piping.
1. When supplying water to the heating piping, close the valve 1,
then open the heating piping’s drain valve and supply valve and
fill the piping with water.
Let the supply water pressure be lower than the set pressure on
the pressure relief valve.
2. Close the drain valve when circulating water starts to come out
of the drain outlet, then open the air release valve in the heating
piping and release the air out of the piping.
3. Open the valve 1and run the circulation pumps, circulating water through the piping while releasing
the air out. The air will be efficiently released from the pipes if the air is released from the heating piping
once with each circuit of the water in the piping.
4. After circulating water through the piping for approximately 10 minutes, close the supply water valve,
then close the air release valve.

INSTALLATION OF THE UNIT AND FLUE PIPE
SAFETY TIPS
WARNING:
1. The flue pipe opening must be fully exposed to outside air. Do not vent into a garage, basement, under
the floor, or into any enclosed area.
2. Do not install the flue pipe in close proximity to other objects or materials.
3. Before making a hole in your wall for the flue pipe, make sure the area is free of electrical wires, gas
pipes and other obstacles.
4. Do not install the flue pipe where it will be exposed to heavy snow, collected leaves, or strong winds.
IMPORTANT: In areas of heavy snow fall, ground surface clearance must be increased according to
average snow falls.
In open areas with strong wind, a wind breaker may be necessary.
5. Do not install the flue pipe below the water heater.
6. The exhaust pipe should be properly installed and connected. Aluminum tape may be used for sealing
exhaust pipe connections.
7. Always cover the exhaust pipe with the insulating cloth cover.
8. If installed in building without an eave, a non-combustion eave should be installed directly above the
flue pipe.
CAUTION:
Total length of the extension pipe between the water heater and the flue pipe must
be no greater than 10 ft. with a total of three bends.
NOTE: When using extension pipes always cover the exhaust pipe with the insu-
lating cloth cover.
INSTALLATION OF UNIT
1. Install the unit on a noncombustible surface in a stable position. If installing on a combustible floor, the
unit should be raised up off the floor to prevent contact with combustible materials by using brick, con-
crete block or similar non-combustible material.
If minimum clearances between the unit and combustible construction are maintained, no ventilation
openings are needed in the closet door when installed in a closet.

INSTALLATION OF FLUE PIPE
IMPORTANT: Check and comply with all state and local codes that may apply to water heater before begin-
ning installation.
1. Select unit location. Allow clearances as indicated above between the unit and all other materials
2. Make sure that the outside area to where the flue pipe will reach is clear of any objects.
NOTE: Make sure wall thickness is not greater than 10-1/2 inches. For walls between 10" and 18" use
Flue Pipe Extension Part #20476486. Flue pipe can be installed through any standard building
materials.
3. For standard installation, position the hole for the flue pipe. (See diagram on page 16)
NOTE: The water heater should be installed on a sturdy floor that is level and flat.
4. Cut the hole for the flue pipe from inside the room. Use a 4-3/4" diameter hole saw attached to an elec-
tric drill. The opening on the inside wall should be slightly higher than the outside opening (approxi-
mately 1/4") so that the flue pipe will slope slightly downward (approximately 3 degrees) after it is
installed. This will enable condensed moisture to drain from the flue pipe to the outside and prevent
rain or snow from entering from outside after installation.
5. Install the inner flange and the flange gasket to the inner flue pipe and insert the inner flue pipe through
the wall hole from inside the room. Make sure the arrow on the inner flange is pointing up and secure
the securing band with a screw and a nut through two holes of the fixing band. Secure the inner flue
pipe to the wall with the four screws provided with the unit.
6. Install the flange gasket to the outer flue pipe. Secure the outer flue pipe to the wall by turning it clock-
wise. Continue turning the outer flue pipe until the inner and outer flanges fit tightly against the inner
and outer walls.
7. Insert the flexible exhaust pipe to the flexible bent joint until it locks. Insert the flexible bent joint to the
exhaust opening of the inner flue pipe until it locks.
NOTE: The flexible exhaust pipe and flexible bent joint have claws to prevent them from being sepa-
rated. When connecting them, raise the claws a little.
These claws may be raised already depending on production lots. If this is the case, insert them
as they are. Do not attempt to draw a pipe off in any event while the claw is raised. Otherwise,
it could cause a leak of exhaust gas.

8. Slide the insulating cloth cover over the flexible exhaust pipe and the flexible bent joint.
NOTE: When disconnecting the extension pipe (such as flexible pipe and flexible
bent joint), turn clockwise and pull apart.
9. Remove the screw from the exhaust opening of the unit. Insert the flexible exhaust pipe to the exhaust
opening and secure them with the screw.
NOTE: Seal all connections of the pipes with the aluminum tape.
CAUTION: ¡Do not attempt to insert the exhaust pipe forcibly.
¡If O-ring is damaged, it could cause a leak of exhaust gas.
¡If the exhaust pipe is inserted after raising the claw, the pipe is locked in position with the
claw so that the pipe will become unable to remove.
¡If it is attempted to remove forcibly, the exhaust pipe may be broken.
10. Connect rubber joints to the both ends of the inlet hose.
11. Place the hose bands on the rubber joints and attach the hose as shown below. Tighten the bands.

SECTION E:
CHIMNEY INSTALLATION
This unit is a sealed combustion system and as an installation option it may be connected
directly to a chimney. Using this option, room air is used for combustion and the exhaust gases
are vented into the chimney to the outside.
IMPORTANT:
1. This appliance should be installed by a licensed, authorized person(s) due to necessity of
making electrical, water and fuel connections. Check local codes and ordinances and/or the latest
edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning
Equipment. NFPA-31.
2. A Barometric Draft Regulator must be used in the exhaust pipe to stabilize flue draft. It is required
that a UL-listed (Underwriters Laboratories) damper be used. The Barometric Draft Regulator must
be installed in accordance with NFPA-31.
3. Installation in an unconfined space in buildings of conventional frame, brick or stone construction,
infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for combustion and ventilation.
For confined spaces, openings for air intake and venting must be provided. (See Fig.1.) Or connect Air
Intake Inlet port directly to outside air with 3 or 4 inch aluminum pipe.
Check local codes and ordinances and/or NFPA-31 Code for specific details.
4. It is recommended that the OM-180 hot water heater be connected to an independent chimney flue.
5. Select a place that can draw in sufficient air for combustion. The air intake hole should be placed in a
spot that can draw in outside air near the floor.
CAUTION:
1. In case another appliance is connected to the same chimney flue (2 or more units), it may be necessary
to comply with state and local codes.
2.
Connecting the OM-180 hot water heater with two or more appliances using the same chimney flue may
affect the performance of the hot water heater.
3. Total length of the exhaust pipe and the chimney liner must be no greater than 25 ft. Maintain the shortest
piping possible by selecting a location as close as posssible to the chimney.
NOTE:
1. To prevent against exhaust leaks, make sure all connections are properly fitted and seal connection with
aluminum tape or heat resistant sealing material.
2. Chimney liner should be the same size as the exhaust pipe. Exposed exhaust pipe should be protected
with appropriate insulation.
3. For a chimney installation, use accessory (option) parts.
