WARNING: Flammable materials, gasoline,
pressurized containers, or any other items or articles
that are potentially fire hazards must NOT be placed on
or adjacent to the heater. The appliance area must be
kept free of all combustible materials, gasoline and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
COMBUSTION AIR REQUIREMENTS
The AquaStar water heater holds cold water in its copper
heat exchanger and brass water valve when not in use.
Because of this, any cold air that comes in through the
unit’s vent pipe is capable of freezing these components.
This Installation Manual specifies the minimum vertical vent
pipe and the amount of combustion air required for this unit.
When all requirements are followed, the unit will operate
properly and safely. However, there may still be a risk of
freezing due to negative draft if all the combustion appliances
in the area are not being supplied with a sufficient amount
of make-up air. A wood stove or furnace can rob the make-
up air in the AquaStar’s vent pipe, leaving the cold infiltrating
air capable of freezing the cold water in the AquaStar heat
exchanger. More make up air is the solution. Follow the
instructions on venting and checking adequacy of make up
air. A HVAC specialist should be used to design solutions
for providing more make-up air if necessary.

Observe the following instructions concerning combustion
air.
Appliances located in unconfined spaces:
a) An unconfined space is one whose volume is greater
than 50 cubic feet per 1000 Btu per hour of the combined
rating of all appliances installed in the space. That would
be 5850 cubic feet for the AquaStar 125B “S” alone.
b) In unconfined spaces in buildings of conventional frame,
masonry, or metal construction, infiltration is normally
adequate to provide air for combustion, ventilation, and
dilution of flue gasses.
Louvers, grills and screens have a blocking effect. If the
effective free area is not known, increase the sizes of your
openings by 75% if your louvers are wood and by 30% if
your louvers are metal. Refer to the National Fuel Gas Code
for complete information. In buildings of tight construction
all air should be taken from outside.
Appliances located in confined spaces:
The confined space must be provided with two permanent
openings, one commencing within 12 inches of the top and
one commencing within 12 inches of the bottom of the
enclosure. Each opening must have a minimum free area of
one square inch per:
- 1000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from inside the building.
- 2000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the outside by horizontal
ducts.
- 4000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the outside by direct
openings or vertical ducts.
Or the confined space must be provided with one permanent
opening or duct that is within 12 inches of the ceiling of the
enclosure. This opening must have a minimum free area of
one square inch per:
CLEARANCES
The Aquastar 125 B “S” is design certified for installation
on a combustible wall and for installation in an alcove or
closet with the minimum clearances to combustible and non
-combustible construction listed below
A. Top 12 inches (306 mm)
B. Front 4 inches (102 mm)
C. Back 0 inches
D. Sides 4 inches (102mm)
E. Bottom 12 inches (306 mm)
Clearance from vent is dependent upon the clearance rating
of the venting material used. For example, type B-a vent is
approved for 1 inch clearance.
- 3000 Btu/hr if all air is taken from the outside by a direct
opening or vertical duct.
Note: Typically, the minimum clearance to combustible
materials should not be less than 6” for single wall flue
pipe. Note that this clearance can be reduced if combustible
materials are protected as per table VI of the National Fuel
Gas Code or if Type B gas vent is used.

The incandescent particle tray (shipped loose in the carton
with the water heater) must be attached at the bottom of
the water heater front cover at the time of installation. Use
the screws provided. See figure 2
MOUNTING INSTALLATION
The Aquastar 125 B “S” is design certified for mounting on
a wall.
Secure the two L shaped hooks provided with the heater to
a wall surface. Place them 13 ¼ inches apart as shown in
Fig 1. Do not install this appliance on a carpeted wall or
over floor covering which is combustible, such as carpet.
The heater must be mounted on a wall using appropriate
anchoring materials. If wall is a stud wall sheathed with
plasterboard, it is recommended that support board(s),
either 1x4’s or 1/2" (minimum) plywood first be attached
across a pair of studs and then the heater should be
attached to the support boards. See Fig 1.
SCREWS
INCANDESCENT PARTICLE TRAY
Expansion and contraction of piping due to changing water
temperature in the pipes imparts movement to the heater
which, if mounted directly to a brittle, friable board, such as
plasterboard, can cause failure of mounting.
Fig. 2 - Incandescent Particle Tray Illustration
In earthquake-prone zones, CEC recommends that installers
use a large washer and lag screw through the existing holes
used to hang the heater to affix the upper third of the heater
to the mounting board. To affix the lower third of the heater,
CEC recommends that two new holes be drilled in the
heater’s frame, each one 16 inches below the top two holes,
and that washers and lag screws be used to secure the
lower portion of the heater to a spacing board.
Before installing the unit, be certain you have the correct
heater for your type of Gas – Propane or Natural Gas.
Identification labels are found on the shipping box, and on
the rating plate which is located on the right side panel of
the cover. Also, each burner orifice is stamped with a number
(79 for LPG and 120 for Natural Gas).

VENTING
Vent pipe connection. WARNING: Do not reduce the vent pipe size. See Fig. 3 for high altitude installations
The heater must be vented to the outside following all local ordinances and specifications for installing a gas appliance
vent or chimney. The heater must be located as close as practicable to a vertically rising chimney or vent that has a listed
vent cap at its termination point. The venting system must be designed and constructed so as to develop a positive flow
adequate to remove flue gasses to the outdoors.
Consult the National Fuel Gas Code if the vent will have elbows or share venting with another natural draft appliance.
The heater should never be common vented with a mechanically vented appliance. Single wall vent pipe is not
recommended, if used consult the National Fuel Gas Code.
Horizontally venting to a sidewall vent terminator or a vertically constructed vent stack along an outside wall of a building
is not permissible. A Powervent (Model AQ-1), with a proof-of-draft safety interlock device, is required and is available in
order to sidewall vent. Contact your dealer. In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts: Powervented applications must
utilize proof-of-draft safety interlock device.
VERTICAL GAS VENT: A 5 inch diameter gas vent constructed of double wall Type B gas vent is recommended. 6 inch is
required in elevations greater than 2000 feet, see Fig. 3. Any gas vent section that is greater than 45 degrees from the
vertical is considered horizontal. Horizontal sections must slope upwards at least ¼ inch for every foot of its horizontal
length and be properly supported. Keep the horizontal section short and avoid too many elbows. The minimum vertical gas
vent height allowed is 6 feet; horizontal vent connectors and elbows are not to be considered in the total gas vent height.
All gas vent sections must be secured to each other with sheet metal screws and be properly supported.
The gas vent constructed of double wall Type B gas vent must terminate above the roof surface with a listed vent cap at
a height that’s in accordance with Figure A or B and their table, provided they are at least 8 feet (2.4 m) from a vertical wall
or similar obstruction. All other gas vents that are not able to terminate within the minimum specified height allowed must
terminate not less than 2 feet (0.6 m) above the highest point where it’s passed through the roof and at least 2 feet (0.6
m) higher than any vertical wall or similar obstruction within 10 feet (3.1 m).

MASONRY CHIMNEY: Masonry chimneys shall be built and installed in accordance with NFPS 211 or local codes. A
minimum 5” diameter gas vent pipe (metal double wall Type B), or an approved clay flue liner or a listed chimney lining
system must be used when venting into a naturally drafting, internal masonry chimney. 6 inch is required in elevations
greater than 2000 feet, see Fig. 3. Local codes may require the use of both gas vent and an approved lining system when
venting into a masonry chimney. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires the use of a listed liner. Lining systems
include approved clay flue lining, a listed chimney lining system or other approved material that will resist corrosion,
erosion, softening, or cracking from exhaust flue gases at temperatures up to 1800 degrees F. The lining system must be
listed for use with naturally drafting, draft hood equipped gas appliances. Follow local codes and refer to NFGC 54 and
NFPA 58.
When connecting the water heater to a masonry chimney the following connector guidelines must be followed for
safe and proper operation: An approved gas vent connector must be attached to the top of the water heater and rise
vertically at least 12” before entering into an approved gas vent connector elbow. Any gas vent section that is greater than
45 degrees from the vertical is considered horizontal. If a horizontal vent connector is to be used to connect the vertical
gas vent connector on the top of the water heater to the masonry chimney, that approved horizontal gas vent connector
must be kept as short as possible and must be sloped upwards at least ¼” per foot of its length. This connector must be
supported throughout its horizontal length. This horizontal gas vent connection may be no greater than 75% of the total
vertical gas flue vent within the chimney. Also, an approved thimble or collar must be used when penetrating a masonry
chimney.
A) Existing INTERIOR Masonry Chimney
The metal gas vent pipe should be permanently mounted inside the masonry chimney. Double wall Type B gas vent is
recommended. The masonry chimney may have to be tile or metal lined before the insertion of the gas vent pipe; check
local codes for clarification. The lining material must be listed for use only with naturally drafting, draft hood equipped gas
appliances. Follow manufactures instructions for installation of listed lining material. You may not vent any other fuel
burning appliances into any free space remaining in the chimney. The minimum vertical gas vent length within the masonry
chimney should be no less than 5 ft (1.5 m); the vent terminator should extend at least 3 feet (0.9 m) above where the
chimney meets the roofline and at least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any vertical wall or similar obstruction within 10 feet (3.1
m). The top of the gas vent should have an approved vent terminator. See Figure C.
B) Tile Lined INTERIOR Masonry Chimney
The masonry chimney must have an approved liner, ceramic tile, clay or metal. The masonry chimney must be able to
accommodate the spent fuel gasses; consult a HVAC engineer for chimney capacity. A common venting like-fuel appliance
into this lined masonry chimney is permissible. The chimney’s diameter must be large enough to adequately draft the spent
fuel gasses. See NFPA 54 for guidelines. A HVAC engineer will be required to spec a chimney system. The minimum
vertical chimney length should be no less than 5 ft (1.5 m); the termination point should extend at least 3 feet (0.9 m)
above where the chimney meets the roofline and at least 2 feet (0.6 m) higher than any vertical wall or similar obstruction
within 10 feet (3.1 m). See Figure C.

To check the draft:
Close all doors and windows to the outside.
Turn on all appliances that force air out of the building.
These include all exhaust/ventilation fans, furnaces, clothes
dryers, wood burning stoves, etc.
Open all doors between the AquaStar and these other
appliances.
Run the unit for at least 10 minutes. Then hold an ordinary
mirror at the side above the front shell. Any flue gases
backdrafting will cause the mirror to fog. This is a serious
health hazard and must be corrected. Poor venting can result
in soot building up inside the heater, overheating of the heater
and freezing of the heat exchanger in a freezing environment.
The mirror will remain clear with a properly functioning draft.
WARNING
Note: The burners of an instantaneous “on demand” water
heater such as the AquaStar are only on at the time that
hot water is actually being used, the vent pipe is therefore
cold except for the short durations when hot water is being
used, it is therefore very important that the venting and air
supply be adequate to provide a good positive draft as soon
as the burners turn on. See venting guide on back page.
The AquaStar 125B”S” instantaneous water heaters have
built-in draft diverters and are designed for indoor installation
only. The draft diverter outlet must be connected to an
unobstructed vent of the same size, or larger.
In Canada, CAN/CGA-B149 Installation Code for detailed
requirements
In U.S.A., ANSI Z223.1 - NFPA 54, National Fuel Gas
Code for detailed requirements.
The vent connection for the Aquastar 125BS is 5 inches.
However, for installations at high altitude (over 2000 feet
above sea level) a six inch vent is required. A 5” by 6” vent
adaptor must be affixed to the flue collar of the Aquastar
with at least two screws. See Fig. 3.
5” X 6” ADAPTOR
USED ON HIGH ALTITUDE
Fig. 3 – Vent Adaptor for High Altitude Installations
WARNING: Failure TO INCREASE THE VENT
SIZE TO SIX INCHES AND/or assure that the manifold
pressure is set to proper value listed for applications at high
altitudes will cause unsafe venting, asphyxiation, and will
void CSA Certification.

GAS CONNECTIONS and Gas Regulator
NOTE: The Aquastar 125 B”S” is supplied with a gas pressure regulator that must be installed on the heater before
attaching the gas supply line. See figure 5. Failure to install the gas regulator as shown in figure 5 will be a violation
of CSA certification of the unit. The regulator supplied with the heater is preset for the gas shown on the rating
plate to the correct pressure. It is an appliance level regulator designed for (low inlet) pressure (less than 1/2 Psig
or 15” W.C.) DO NOT connect to an unregulated or high pressure propane line or to a high pressure commercial
natural gas line.

GAS INLET PIPE
PRESSURE TAP
The water heater must be isolated from the gas supply piping
system by closing the manual shutoff valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or more than 0.5 psig.
The water heater, including the pressure regulator provided
with it, must not be operated at gas supply pressures in
excess of 0.5 psig. If overpressure has occurred, such as
through improper testing of the gas lines or malfunction of
the supply system, the gas valve and regulator must be
checked for safe operation. Make sure that the regulator
vent is protected against blockage.

When your connections are made, check for gas leaks at
all joints (not just the ones you made). Apply some soapy
water to all gas fittings and gas valve. Soap bubbles are a
sign of a leak.
NOTE: Do not apply soap solution to pilot filter screen or
pilot orifice area. If you have a leak, shut off the gas. After
verifying that required gaskets are in place, tighten
appropriate fittings to stop leak. Turn the gas on and check
again with a soapy solution. Never test for gas leaks using
a match or flame.
Fig. 5 - Installation of Gas Pressure Regulator
The pressure regulator provided with the heater is adjusted
to deliver the proper gas pressure (as indicated on the rating
plate and in the manual for altitude up to 2000 feet (660
meters) above sea level. On appliances being installed above
2000 ft (660 meters) elevation, the inlet gas pressure should
be set at installation to the value shown below.
NOTE: The gas pressures specified below refer to
pressures taken at the test pressure tap on the gas inlet
pipe just above the regulator (See Fig 5). These readings
should be taken while the heater is operating at full input
— i.e. maximum water flow with the temperature dial
selector turned all the way clockwise.
WATER CONNECTIONS
Install the heater centrally in the building if possible and
make hot water piping runs as short as possible When facing
the heater, the cold water inlet will be on the right and the
hot water outlet on the left..
MAXIMUM INLET GAS FLOW PRESSURE SETTING
Although water piping throughout the building may be other
than copper, copper or galvanized piping should be used
when connecting to the heaters ½” male NPT flex connectors
(follow local codes if more stringent). Plastics or other PEX
type plumbing line materials are not suitable for connecting
directly to the water heater. Keep water inlet pipe to no less
than ½” (19.05mm) diameter to allow the full flow capacity.
If the cold and hot connections to the heater are reversed,
the heater will not function.
The Aquastar 125BS is provided with two flexible type
connectors that must be connected to the fittings of the
water valve as shown in Fig. 6. The union end of the flexible
connectors should be attached to the rear inlet ports of the
water valve with the supplied washer gaskets. No pipe dope
or thread tape is to be used at these joints.

be Black Iron pipe the entire distance from the outside
meter to the inlet of the Aquastar regulator. 1/2” Black
Iron pipe up to 10 feet, 3/4” Black Iron pipe up to 40 feet
and 1” Black Iron pipe up to 150 feet distances. Flex line
tubing is NOT recommended, but if used then oversize
it.
-It is strongly recommended that the LP Gas pipe be
semi-rigid copper or Black Iron pipe from the outside
regulator to the inlet of the Aquastar regulator. For semi-
rigid copper piping: 5/8” up to 20 feet and 3/4” up to 60
feet distances. For Black Iron piping: 1/2” up to 45 feet
and 3/4” up to 160 feet distances. Flex line tubing is NOT
recommended, but if used then oversize it.
Be certain there are no loose particles or dirt in the piping.
Blow out or flush the lines before connecting to the water
heater. Full port valves should be installed on both the cold
water supply and hot water outlet lines to facilitate servicing
the heater (see Fig. 7). For installation on a private well
system with the use of a pressure tank, the lowest pressure
range setting recommended is 30-50 psi (2.07-3.45 bar).

INFORMATION ABOUT WATER TEMPERATURE
The AquaStar 125B LPS and 125B NGS water heaters
have a gas control that modulates burner output in response
to water flow. Its purpose is to ensure that the hot water
temperature will remain steady, although the water flow
demand might vary (down to 1/2 gal/minute). The AquaStar
125 B”S” will produce a temperature rise of approximately
90°F at flow rates between 0.5 and 1.8 gallons per minute
unless the water has been preheated. If the incoming water
is already hot, the burners will modulate accordingly so the
outlet temperature will not exceed 140°F.

Cold water will have to be mixed in at the faucet to produce
comfortable temperatures. Mixing in cold water will produce
higher flow rates and will reduce risk of scalding. Note: 105°
is the maximum recommended temperature for a hot bath.
Handwashing should not be done in water hotter than 112°
- and cooler for older adults, young children or persons with
sensory loss. Remember that scalding can occur in 20
seconds with 135° water.

TROUBLE SHOOTING (see maintenance table)
Introduction
PILOT LIGHTS BUT FLAME GOES OUT WHEN BUTTON
IS RELEASED
The AquaStar 125 B “S” burners are activated by a water
flow valve. Numerous water related problems can cause
this water valve to malfunction such as: Insufficient water
flow volume to activate the burners at its minimum flow
requirement; Dirt in the water flow valve causing it to
malfunction; Sediment build-up in faucet aerators, or shower
heads; Uneven pressures between cold and hot. (with single

not properly heating the tip of the thermocouple.
The Pilot flame should be a sharp blue flame and aimed at
the tip of the thermocouple so that it envelops 10 mm (3/8
“) of the thermocouple tip. Pilot flame has to be properly
aimed at the thermocouple. See Fig 8.
Problems are stated in upper case, bold face. Most common
causes for the problems follow in order of likelihood. The
suggested solutions require that the cover be taken off. To
do this, remove incandescent particle tray and unscrew the
central screw located at the bottom of the front cover. Pull
main cover out toward you and lift up and out.
3. Poor thermocouple connection at the electromagnet
Note: Electromagnet is part #8707201094 located on the
right side of the gas valve behind the piezo pushbutton
assembly. Check the tightness of the thermocouple
connection nut at the electromagnet: The Electro-magnet
connection is a large aluminum 17mm hex head nut. The
thermocouple end is a 5 mm brass nut which screws into
the 17 mm nut. Tighten the thermocouple nut snugly but not

position ( ).
4. Poor circuit connections at the ECO. (Energy Cut-
Off overheat protection)
C. Gas regulator may be shut or damaged.
Oxidation or looseness of the ECO terminal connections
can result in millivolt current loss through the thermocouple
safety circuit. Clean terminals with very fine sand paper or
an eraser and reconnect ECO leads.
2. In-line AquaStar gas regulator jammed (usually on
LP gas)
Replace or unlock the regulator. Note: The regulator
furnished with the heater is designed for low gas pressure.
Excessive pressure will lock it up (propane only). Locking
usually happens if the gas pressure between the gas tank
(propane) and the water heater’s gas regulator has not been
reduced. See page 2 for recommended correct gas pressure.
To unlock a regulator, consult your gas supplier.
5. Faulty ECO (part #8707206017)
If cleaning the terminals attached to the ECO did not fix the
problem, connect a jumper wire between the two wires and
try to relight the pilot. If the pilot flame now remains on,
replace the ECO. If the flame still goes out when the button
is released, the ECO is not defective. Go to next step.
3. Pilot orifice clogged and/or air screen dirty, or pilot
gas filter is dirty.
Clogging of the pilot burner can be caused by dust and any
suspended matter contained in the ambient air.
Although the filters can lengthen the cleaning intervals, they
can never completely prevent such clogging. In consequence
the gas jet issuing from the pilot orifice is reduced and or
the air mixture is reduced. The pilot flame is weak and thus
can no longer heat the thermocouple sufficiently. For cleaning
purposes, the air filter screen is pulled off, washed and blown
out. The pilot orifice has likewise to be cleaned or exchanged.
Consult a gas service person to clean the pilot.
6. Faulty thermocouple (part #8747202083) or
electromagnet) Unless these 2 parts are at least 8 to
10 years old, it is very unlikely that they are faulty.
Before testing, reconfirm that #2 is absolutely correct,
and that all connections are clean and tight.

Make sure cold water inlet connection is on the right side of

3. Burners are not shutting down immediately when hot
water is turned off
Note: If burners don’t shut down immediately when the hot
water is turned off, the heater will overheat and the ECO
will shut-off the gas. Rebuild the water valve assembly using
the repair kit from CEC (part #8 703 406 204).
4.
Water flow rate at hot water tap is too low.
Note: The AquaStar models 125B”S” require 0.5 gallon per

clean faucet aerators too.
Increase the flow rate.
6. Crossover in household plumbing
2. Not enough cold water mixing at faucet
The AquaStar burner activates when there is sufficient water
pressure drop in the AquaStar water valve assembly — ie.
when a hot water faucet is opened. If there is a crossover in
the plumbing, the necessary pressure drop in the AquaStar
will be insufficient, or totally eliminated. A plumbing crossover
can be caused by a bad washer at a single lever faucet or
incorrect plumbing or a mixing valve in the line, etc. which
permits hot and cold water to mix in the plumbing. The
crossover will create a back pressure in the system preventing
the pressure drop in the Aquastar — i.e. cold water is entering
the water heater from both sides and the burners will not
come on. To confirm there is no crossover in the plumbing,
shut off the cold water supply to the AquaStar. Open your
hot water taps. There should not be any water flowing. If
there is water flowing, there is a crossover in the plumbing.
This is a plumbing problem, not an Aquastar problem. Please
contact your plumber.
Contact your plumber to adjust mixing valves on faucets.
3. The heater’s fixed degree rise is too high for user
The calibration nut for the thermostat assembly at the gas
valve can be adjusted upward to lower the temperature rise.
A seal of paint coats two adjusting nuts there, the thin up-
per one is a lock nut while the lower one is the adjuster.
Loosen the lock nut one first. Tighten the adjuster nut in-
crementally upward and check water temperature, stop when
satisfactory. Then tighten down the lock nut.
Caution:
Never back the adjuster nut downward to the last thread
unless the thermostat is being replaced. This is a gas
seal.
WATER IS NOTHOT ENOUGH
1. Water flow rate is too high.
Decrease the flow rate.
7. Water valve parts may be dirty or components
damaged.
2. Btu input is too low due to insufficient gas pressure
It is extremely important for a tankless instantaneous
water heater to have the right size gas line to obtain
the correct gas pressure
Water valve and component parts must be totally free of
dirt. First check that the venturi is free of dirt particles. In
hard water areas, mineral deposits can eventually (3 to 5
years in hard water areas) corrode the water valve parts to
a point where they will need replacing.

HOT WATER TEMPERATURE FLUCTUATES / UNIT
DEACTIVATED
1. Unbalanced pressure in waterlines
The added restriction caused by the Aquastar in the hot
water system can result in uneven pressures between the
cold and the hot. In such cases when mixing cold water at
the tap, the lower hot water pressure may be overpowered
by a much higher cold water pressure, which may cause the
Aquastar burners to shut down (deactivate). Make sure faucet
aerators or shower heads are free of minerals.
Do not add any flow restrictor to the shower head.
Typically this deactivation symptom is a result of the hot
water being too hot to use comfortably. Warm inlet water
generally causes this. Lowering the control knob setting
and/or reducing the inlet gas supply to the heater should
correct this deactivation symptom.
2. Inlet water pressure is erratic due to inadequate supply
water pressure or saturated pressure tank on well
system
For installation on a private well system with the use of a
pressure tank, the lowest pressure range setting
recommended is 30-50 psi (2.07-3.45 bar). Confirm that
the pressure tank is not water logged.
