The Legacy Model LRZ millivolt heater is
shipped with water connections on the right side,
but can be modied in the eld to provide left-side
water connections. This procedure involves remov-
ing the heat exchanger headers and reinstalling them
on opposite ends of the tube assembly. Some of the
heater wiring must be disconnected and re-routed, so
this procedure must be done only by a trained service
technician. Heat exchanger reversals are generally
done before the installation of power and water to the
heater. If you need to reverse the heat exchanger on
a previously installed heater be sure that all electri-
cal power, the gas supply and water supply have been
turned off before starting the procedure. These instruc-
tions have been written to include the steps needed
when reversing the water connections on an existing
installation. If you are reversing the headers on a new
installation, some steps will be ignored.
When an automatic chemical feeder is installed
in the plumbing, it must be installed downstream of
the heater (see Section 5.7). A check valve must be
installed between the heater and the chemical feeder to
prevent back-siphoning of chemically saturated water
into the heater where it will damage the components.
The inlet/outlet header of the Legacy Model LRZ
millivolt heater comes equipped with an automatic
ow control valve. The automatic ow control valve
maintains the proper ow through the heater at rates
up to approximately 475 lpm. If the lter system ow
rate is higher than approximately 475 lpm, install a
manual bypass valve (see Figure 6), then perform a
temperature rise test (see Section 11.6) and adjust the
ow using the bypass valve until the proper tempera-
ture rise is obtained.
