sive exterior stucco coating, or with a sealed vapour barrier  
or other similar air sealing technique, will often be sufficient-  
ly airtight so that there is not sufficient air for both combus-  
tion and venting the products of combustion of an oil-fired  
appliance, or for replacing the air vented by other exhaust  
devices within the house.  
Air Requirements  
An adequate supply of combustion and ventilation air is  
required to:  
Ensure proper combustion.  
Reduce risk of property damage, severe bodily injury or  
death from possible flue gas leakage and carbon  
monoxide emissions.  
Outdoor Combustion & Ventilation Air  
(Unconfined space)  
Do not install an exhaust fan in the same room as the water  
heater.  
Satisfactory combustion cannot be sustained in an area that  
is not provided with fresh air. Fresh air contains oxygen that  
is necessary for proper combustion. If the water heater is  
installed in a confined space, sufficient fresh air must be  
drawn in from outside of the enclosure.  
If the water heater is installed in an unconfined space in a  
building having insufficient infiltration, additional air for com-  
bustion and ventilation shall be obtained from outdoors or  
from spaces freely communicating with the outdoors. Under  
these conditions, permanent opening(s) shall be provided so  
that the total air received through these openings will be at  
least as much as would be admitted by openings having a

CAUTION  
Outdoor Combustion & Ventilation Air  
(Confined space)  
IF AN ALL-HOUSE VENTILATION FAN IS USED, A  
SEPARATE OUTSIDE AIR DUCT MUST BE USED AND  
DUCTED TO THE FURNACE ROOM AND/OR ROOM  
WHERE THE WATER HEATER IS LOCATED.  
A heater installed in a confined space that obtains all of its  
air for combustion and ventilation from outside the building  
shall be provided with two permanent openings, one near  
the top of the enclosure and another near the bottom. Each  
opening shall communicate directly or by means of ducts  
with the outdoors or to such spaces (such as a crawl space)  
that freely communicate with the outdoors, and shall be  
sized in accordance with “Air Duct Sizing”.  
In Canada:  
If the water heater is installed in a house built to the require-  
ments of the “National Building Code of Canada, 1985”,  
or a subsequent edition, the space shall be provided with a  
air inlets as outlined below, or have a mechanical air-supply  
system of sufficient equivalent capacity. If a mechanical air-  
supply system is used, it shall be interlocked to the appli-  
ance or equipment.  
NOTE: In unconfined spaces in buildings of conventional  
frame, brick, or stone construction built prior to the require-  
ments of the “National Building Code of Canada, 1985”,  
and not subsequently significantly air-tightened, infiltration is  
normally adequate to provide air for combustion and some  
ventilation; however, there may be notable exceptions.  
Houses built in accordance with the “National Building  
Code of Canada, 1985” (or subsequent edition), with exten-

Air (Confined space)  
An appliance located in a confined space that obtains its  
combustion air from outdoors and ventilation air from within  
the conditioned space of the building shall be provided with  
two permanent openings for ventilation. One located near  
the top of the enclosure and another near the bottom. Each  
opening shall have a free area of not less than 19.5

To prevent downdrafts, extend the chimney at least 1m (3 ft.)  
above highest point where it passes through roof and  
610mm (24 in.) higher than any portion of building within 3m  
(10 ft.). Increase chimney cross-sectional area and height at  
least 4% per 305m (1,000 ft.) above sea level.  
Indoor Combustion & Ventilation Air  
(Confined space)  
A heater installed in a confined space and that obtains all of  
its air for combustion and ventilation from within the condi-  
tioned space of the building shall be provided with two per-  
manent openings, one near the top of the enclosure and  
another near the bottom. Each opening shall have a free

total input rating of all appliances in the enclosure, freely  
communicating with interior areas that have in turn adequate  
infiltration from the outside.  
Long horizontal flue pipes, excessive number of tees and  
elbows or other obstructions restrict flue gas flow, and can  
result in the possibility of condensation, flue gas leakage  
and carbon monoxide emissions. These conditions can lead  
to serious property damage, severe bodily injury or death.  
The flue pipe should be the same size as the breech con-  
nection on the appliance. The sizes generally are 150mm (6  
in.) for burners rated less than 1.00 GPH and 178mm (7 in.)  
for burners rated for 1.00 to 1.50 GPH. The flue pipe should  
be as short as possible and installed so that it has a contin-  
uous rise of 20mm/m (1/4 in./ft.) of horizontal length from the  
breech connection on the appliance to the chimney. Elbows  
should be minimized and the sections of pipe and fittings  
should be joined with sheet metal screws and straps.  
Routing should be made in such a way as to avoid sharp

Vent and Exhaust Connections  
Draft Regulator  
This device is used on conventional chimney venting only. It  
automatically maintains a constant negative pressure in the  
chimney to obtain maximum efficiency. If the chimney does  
not develop sufficient draft, the draft control cannot function  
properly. The heater must be equipped with an approved  
draft regulator of adequate size. Make sure that the draft  
regulator diameter is at least as large as the flue pipe diam-  
eter. Follow manufacturers recommended instructions for  
installation. It must be installed in the flue pipe before it  
enters the chimney and after the Blocked Vent Safety  
Switch, if one is used. Set the draft regulator at -0.03 in. (-  
0.762mm) of water column, as measured in the flue  
(between the heater and the draft regulator). Recommended  
over-fire draft is -0.02 in. (-0.5078mm) of water column.  
General chimney requirements  
For a burner designed for natural draft connect the vent to a  
vertical chimney. Insufficient draft can cause flue gas leak-  
age and carbon monoxide emissions, which can lead to  
severe bodily injury or death. Use vent material approved by  
local codes for oil-fired burners. In the absence of such  
codes, refer to:  
“Installation Code for Oil-Burning Equipment (CSA  
B139-04)” (Canadian installations).  
“Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning  
Equipment (NFPA 31)” (USA).  
“Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and  
Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances (NFPA 211)” (USA).

Water Supply Connections  
Pipes and fittings should be installed in as shown in the  
installation drawing (Figures 7 & 8). Install a shut-off valve in  
the cold water supply line in close proximity to the cold inlet  
of the water heater. This valve is for use only when servic-  
ing the heater and must be kept open during the heater’s  
operation. The water connection fittings (nipples) may con-  
tain a non-metallic lining to minimize corrosion and some  
models include non-metallic heat traps. These appear like  
pink or blue coloured plugs in the fitting. Do not attempt to  
pry these plugs loose or damage them. DO NOT APPLY  
HEAT DIRECTLY TO THE WATER HEATER NIPPLES. If  
copper piping is used, solder a piece of tubing to a threaded  
adaptor before screwing the adaptor to the nipples. Use only  
solder approved for use with potable water systems. Use a  
good grade of pipe joint compound, certified for use with  
potable water, on the threaded fittings. Be sure all fittings are  
drawn up tight.  
NOTE: Rear and Combination flue units must be fitted with  
a T&P Relief Valve WATTS type 40XL-5 or equivalent.  
Failure to install and maintain a new, properly listed  
temperature and pressure relief valve will release the  
manufacturer from any claims which may result from  
excessive temperature or water pressure.  
Closed Water Systems  
During the heating cycle of the water heater the water  
expands creating a pressure build-up in the water system.  
The water supply meter may contain a check valve or back  
flow preventer. This will create a closed water system. A  
Temperature and Pressure (T&P) Relief Valve (150 psi  
(1034 kPa) maximum pressure setting, must be installed in  
the system (see “Temperature and Pressure (T&P) Relief  
Valve” section). To prevent the T&P valve from discharging  
hot water, the loss of energy and reduce the possible build-

Water Temperature Regulation  
WARNING  
Once installed, the operation will be completely automatic.  
The thermostat (aquastat) on the water heater is adjustable  
and will maintain water at the desired temperature.  
Do not attempt to operate this water heater  
with the cold water inlet valve closed.  
Manually operate temperature and pressure  
relief valve at least once a year. Standing  
clear of the outlet, (discharge water will be  
hot), lift and release the lever handle on the  
temperature and pressure relief valve to  
make sure the valve operates freely.  
WARNING  
Never operate the heater if it is not com-  
pletely filled with water. To make sure the  
heater is filled, open the hot faucet of an  
upstairs tap, until there is a full flow of water  
with no air coming through the tap.  
Water temperature over 52°C (125°F) can cause  
severe burns instantly or death from scalds.  
Flue Pipes  
Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of  
being scalded.  
Once a year, inspect the flue pipe leading from the heater to  
the chimney. If corrosion is evident, or discolouration at the  
joints can be seen, replace the flue pipes. This should be  
done by a qualified Oil-Burner Technician. Flue pipes must  
be replaced by the same size flue pipe as the flue collar  
(breech connection) at the heater.  
Feel water before bathing or showering.  
Temperature limiting valves are recommended.

Do not attempt to repair your water heater. Call a qualified  
Oil-Burner Technician for service. Turn “OFF” the electric  
power whenever the water supply is shut off. Before calling  
for service, check that:  
between No. 0 smoke and No. 1 smoke.

1. The heater is properly filled.  
2. The electrical supply has not been interrupted.  
NOTE: For JWF307V also see additional “Installation  
Instructions for Through-the-wall Venting Components",  
63391, that is supplied with the JWF307V.  
Professional Maintenance  
Except for external appearance and area tidiness, the fol-  
lowing steps should be performed only by a qualified Oil-  
Burner Technician.  
General Maintenance (by owner)  
As a precaution against fire, and to maintain an adequate  
flow of combustion air to the heater:  
1. Lift out the flue baffle to clean the flue. (On rear and com-  
bination flue heaters, the top cover, insulation and flue  
top cover must be removed.)  
2. Insert a flue brush down the flue passage way(s) to  
remove soot and dirt. Soot or carbon that falls into the  
combustion chamber will burn up within a very short  
time.  
3. In normal use, there should be no large accumulation of  
soot in the combustion chamber. If there is, remove the  
burner and carefully brush or vacuum the combustion  
chamber.  
Keep the appliance area clear and free from com-  
bustible material, gasoline and other flammable vapors  
and liquids.  
Keep the air ventilation openings unobstructed. If dust  
and lint is seen accumulating around the openings,  
remove it.  
Do not pile cartons, papers, or combustible materials on  
top, or near the heater (see Figure 1).

6. If the heater is to remain empty for an extended period of  
time, it is suggested the drain valve be left open. When  
draining is complete, the hose may be removed.  
7. Perform any other servicing as required.  
8. Close the drain valve and disconnect hose.  
9. Follow instructions for “Filling the Water Heater” and  
“Startup” when heater is ready to be put back into ser-  
vice.  
Manual Relief Valve  
Cathodic Protection  
Discharge line to drain  
Your water heater has been equipped with one or more  
anodes that protect the glass-lined tank from corrosion and  
prolong the life of the water heater. Over time, as the  
anode(s) works, it slowly dissolves, exposing the steel inner  
core. Once the anode(s) is depleted, the tank will start to  
corrode, eventually developing a leak. Depending on water  
conditions, an anode(s) can last from one to ten years. Many  
localities treat their water and this can have a significant  
effect on the life of your heater. Water conditioning, such as  
over-softening, can accelerate the rate at which the  
anode(s) is consumed. As with any water heater, it is good  
practice to check the anode(s) annually to see if it needs  
replacing. Do not remove this anode(s) permanently as it  
will void any warranties, stated or implied. Rapid deple-  
tion or failure to maintain the anode can leave a heater  
unprotected and may result in premature failure of the  
heater due to corrosion and leaks.  
Figure 12 T&P VALVE TEST.  
WARNING! The temperature and pressure relief valve  
must be manually operated at least once a year. Caution  
should be taken to ensure that:  
1. No one is in front of or around the outlet of the temper-  
ature and pressure relief valve discharge line.  
2. The water manually discharged will not cause any bod-  
ily injury or property damage. The water may be  
extremely hot.  
If, after manually operating the valve, it fails to completely  
reset and continues to release water, immediately close the  
cold water supply valve, drain the tank as directed in the  
“Draining and Flushing” section, and replace the tempera-  
ture and pressure relief valve with a new one. Failure to  
install and maintain an approved temperature and pressure  
relief valve will release the manufacturer from any claim that  
might result from excessive temperature or pressure.  
This series of oil fired water heaters are factory equipped  
with 1 or 2 anodes, depending on the model. The JW717/  
JW727 models are equipped with one heavy duty anode.  
Under normal circumstances, these anodes should last the  
life of the tank and need not be replaced.  
Draining, Flushing and Sediment  
Removal  
Some maintenance and service procedures require that the  
heater be drained and empty. The water heater should also  
be drained if being shut down for an extended period of time.  
Water may contain fine particles of soil and sand which set-  
tle to the bottom of a tank and thus form a layer of sediment.  
The action of the anode may also help to form sediment. If  
not removed, the heater could develop a tendency to pound,  
gurgle, or thump when heating up. It is recommended that  
the tank be drained and flushed on a regular basis to  
remove any sediment that may buildup during operation. To  
drain the tank and remove the sediment:  
1. Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the water heater.  
2. Close the cold water supply valve.  
3. Attach a hose to the drain valve and route to an adequate  
drain.  
CAUTION! The water being drained can be extremely  
hot! The drain hose should be rated for at least 93°C  
(200°F). If the drain hose does not have this rating, open the  
cold water supply valve and a nearby hot water faucet  
served by the system until the water flow is no longer hot.  
Close the cold water supply valve and resume.  
4. Open the drain valve using a flat-blade screwdriver. A  
nearby hot water faucet must be opened to allow the tank  
to be fully drained.  
Hot Water Odour  
On occasion, and depending on your location, hot water  
may develop a strong odour. This can be especially prob-  
lematic in regions where the water contains sulphur, which  
results in hot water having a "rotten egg" odour. If this  
occurs, drain the system completely, flush thoroughly and  
refill the tank. If the water odour or discoloration persists, the  
anode(s) may need to be changed from magnesium to one  
made of aluminum. Aluminum anodes may reduce, but not  
eliminate, water odour problems. The water supply system  
may require special filtration equipment from a water condi-  
tioning company to successfully eliminate all water odour  
problems. In certain cases chlorinating and flushing of the  
water heater may be required. Contact your dealer or water  
supplier.  
Discoloured Water  
Water rich in iron or other minerals can produce red or  
brown staining. Heating water generally worsens this sit-  
uation.  
5. Open the cold water supply valve and flush the tank as  
needed to remove sediment and any other foreign mat-

Contact your water supplier for proper filtration or water  
conditioning equipment.  
For bacterial problems contact your local health author-  
ity. See also “Hot Water Odour”.  
A sudden appearance of rust-coloured water may indi-  
cate that the anode(s) has been depleted. Once deplet-  
ed, the anode’s inner steel core becomes exposed

Cleaning Instructions, Flue Passages Of  
The JWF657 Heater  
Refer to Figure 13 for components of the heater.  
1. Remove the casing top and lift if off completely. It is nec-  
essary to disconnect the hot and cold water lines and  
move them out of the way. Do not remove the nipples  
from the tank.  
2. Lift off the flue collector. The flue collector has a lip on  
the outer edge which will allow a hook to grab the edge  
to help lift it up.  
Anode Maintenance  
3. Remove the flue baffles (4).  
A new anode is about 20mm (13/16 in.) to 22mm (7/8 in.)  
diameter and has a steel wire core approximately 3mm (1/8  
in.) diameter in the center. If the anode is less than approx-  
imately 10mm (3/8 in.) in diameter, or the inner steel core is  
exposed, the anode(s) should be replaced. Operating a  
water heater without an actively working anode(s) will void  
the warranty.  
4. With a 76mm (3 in.) diameter wire brush, 1.2m (4 ft.)  
long, remove any soot build-up which may be on the top  
head or inside the flue collector.  
5. Reassemble in reverse order. It may be necessary to  
replace the gaskets around the nipples to seal them at  
the flue collector. Replace the insulation and the casing  
top.  
6. Reconnect the plumbing lines.  
To check/replace the anode:  
1. Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the water heater.  
2. Close the cold water supply valve.

Close the cold water supply valve and resume.  
5. Remove the anode cover, or, on JWF657, Rear and  
Combination flue models, remove top cover, insulation  
and flue top cover.  
NIPPLES  
NOTE: The anode(s) has been factory installed using a  
power tool. It may be necessary for a second person to sta-  
bilize the heater. A few sharp blows on the handle of the  
socket wrench should loosen the anode nut. If an impact  
wrench (power drive) is available, this is an easier way to  
remove an anode.  
6. Using a 1 1/16" socket (certain models require 1-5/16”)  
, remove the anode(s) and inspect it. The surface may be  
rough, full of pits and crevices, but this is normal. If it is  
less than approximately 10mm (3/8 in.) in diameter, or  
the inner steel core exposed, the anode(s) should be  
replaced.

Shut Down For Extended Periods  
ALWAYS KEEP THE FUEL SUPPLY VALVE SHUT OFF IF  
THE BURNER IS SHUT DOWN FOR AN EXTENDED  
PERIOD OF TIME.  
When away for extended periods of time such as vacation,  
and no freezing temperatures are expected:  
7. Apply Teflon tape, or sealing compounds approved for  
use with potable water, to the threads of the anode(s)  
and install into the tank top.  
8. Open the cold water supply valve and open a nearby hot  
water faucet to purge air from the water tank as directed  
in “Filling the Water Heater”.

1. Shut off the oil supply at the tank.  
2. Shut off the cold water supply to the heater.  
3. Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the water heater.  
CAUTION:  
READ BEFORE PROCEEDING  
The following requirements must be met for the installation  
4. Open an upstairs hot water faucet (to relieve any pres- of Combo Heating Systems:  
sure).  
1. All components used for the distribution of water in the  
When freezing temperatures are expected:  
heating loop must be suitable for potable water. These  
include all piping, fittings, solder and fluxes, pumps for  
circulation of water, valves, etc.  
NOTE: It is recommended that all water lines  
in the home be drained. Contact a qualified  
plumber for directions applicable to the  
heater.  
2. The water heater must not be connected to a hydronic  
heating system that has been used previously.  
3. No boiler treatment chemicals of any kind shall be intro-  
duced into the system.  
1. Shut off the oil supply at the tank.  
4. The Combo System components must be selected and  
sized to meet and maintain the total calculated demands  
for both domestic service hot water and space heating  
requirement. The sizing and installation must be per-  
formed in accordance with good engineering practice  
such as ASHRAE Handbooks, HRAI, Hydronics Institute  
Manuals, CGA B149, NFPA 54, ANSI Z223.1, CSA  
F280, National/Provincial Building Codes, CSA C22.1,  
ANSI/NFPA 70, CSA B51 and/or codes having jurisdic-  
tion.  
5. The air handler (fan coil) and/or the circulating pump in  
a heating loop will require a dedicated 120V circuit. This  
must be provided and identified for this purpose.  
6. All piping between the water heater and the air handler  
or heating loop must be adequately insulated to reduce  
heat loss.  
2. Shut off the cold water supply to the heater.  
3. Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the water heater.  
4. Connect a hose to the drain valve and drain as directed  
in “Draining, Flushing and Sediment Removal”.  
5. Leave the drain hose attached as a reminder that the  
tank has no water in it.  
Re-Starting The Heater After Shut-Down  
CAUTION  
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system  
served by this heater that has not been used for a long  
period of time (generally two (2) weeks or more).  
Hydrogen gas is extremely flammable and can ignite  
when exposed to a spark or flame. To reduce the risk of  
injury under these conditions, it is recommended that the  
hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the  
kitchen sink before using any electrical appliance con-  
nected to the hot water system. Use caution in opening  
faucets. When hydrogen is present, there will probably be  
an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe  
as the water begins to flow. There should be no smoking  
or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.  
7. If the local jurisdiction requires a back-flow preventer in  
the cold water line, an expansion tank of adequate size  
must be installed.  
8. To reduce the scald hazard potential, a mixing valve  
must be installed.  
Installation  
The heating mode may be one of the following options:  
1. Follow instructions for “Filling the Water Heater” and 1. A fan coil/air handler (Figure 14).  
“Startup” when heater is ready to be put back into ser- 2. A hydronic baseboard (finned tube) loop (Figure 15).  
vice.  
3. A hydronic in-floor heating loop (Figure 16).  
2. If the heater does not start, check to see if the relay on In order to connect a heating loop to the water heater you  
the burner has tripped. Reset if necessary. Check to see must:  
if the thermostat is set at “Normal” or “High”.  
3. If the heater does not start:  
1. Install shut-off valves and unions so that the water  
heater can be isolated from the heating module should  
servicing of the water heater become necessary.  
2. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the heating  
loop so that water can be drained from the heating mod-  
ule without affecting the water heater.  
a) Turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the water heater.  
b) Shut off the oil supply at the tank.  
c) Call a qualified Oil-Burner Technician.  
VI) COMBINATION HEATING  
If the air handler does not have a venting means, install  
an air bleed at the highest point of the plumbing  
arrangement.  
Combination Potable Water Heating and  
Space Heating (Combo)  
This section serves as a guide for the installation and use of  
“Combo” heating systems utilizing a domestic water heater  
which has been specifically approved for such use. It is writ-  
ten for those knowledgeable in the required trades and pro-  
fessionals involved in the design and installation of Combo  
Heating Systems. It is the responsibility of the installer/  
designer to follow all applicable codes to ensure the effec-  
tiveness and safety of the installation.  
If solenoid valves are used for zone heating applica-  
tions, they must include electrical proof of valve full open  
position and must be connected to the water pump.

or other chemical reactions caused by the potable domestic water sup-  
plied to your home, within the period of time shown in table at the top of  
this page.  
* Residential units installed and used in a commercial application carry a  
warranty period of one (1) year from date of installation; and,  
Any repair or replacement of any part, tank, or Unit under this Warranty  
will not extend the Warranty Period beyond that calculated from the date  
of first installation of the original Unit. The date of first installation will
