Avoid putting heat under toilets, refrigerators, freezers, pantries and
kitchen cabinets. If tubing must go under these areas either insulate the tubing
with foam pipe insulation, or put 2 ins. of high density foam insulation under
the appliance or floor.

CONCRETE FLOORS MUST CURED BEFORE APPLYING ANY FLOOR COVERING
Floor coverings do have an affect on radiant floors. Your system is engineered
to overcome any problems that floor coverings might have on heat output. A
more important consideration, is the effect, that the heating system will have on
the floor coverings.
Installing the tubing under the floor allows a very even heat output and
minimizes potential floor damage. There are four types of floor coverings that
are commonly considered.

Although floor coverings can not change the efficiency of your heating system, they can
greatly affect the ability of the floor to heat your home.
Concrete, tile, brick, and vinyl are very good choices for floors with radiant heat, but most
people will choose carpeting. Carpet and pad by their nature are thermal insulators.
Carpet generally has less effect than the pad does on the ability of the floor to heat the room.
Generally, the R -value of synthetic carpet can be determined by it's thickness. They range from
R -1.0 for 1/4" carpet to R— 2.0 for 1" carpet. If you plan on using wool carpet you need to let
your supplier know first.
Although there are many types of carpet cushion, we only recommend the rubber types for a
radiant floor. The rubber cushions come in two types, slab and ribbed or waffle. The quality of
the rubber is important, the cheaper products use clay fillers and have an oily substance that can
leach out over time, when heat is applied. The result is a pad that will disintegrate over time.
The best combination is a very good cushion and a quality but thin carpet.

INSTALLING HARDWOOD FLOORING
TM
For many builders, the reluctance to install hardwood floors over radiant heat stemmed from
problems associated with the original technology introduced more than forty years ago. Then,
floors were heated excessively to compensate for poor building insulation. Those high tempera-
tures exaggerated expansion and contraction in hardwood flooring, causing irreparable damage
to both the floors and builders' reputations.
Today, modern insulation and building techniques allow a radiant floor to stay cooler than the
floor of the average sun room.
MOISTURE CONTENT
Once the subfloor, tubing and thermostats have been installed, the heating system should be
run for at least 72 hours to balance the house's moisture content.
Now follow the customary procedures for installing any hardwood floor. Be sure to monitor
the moisture content of both the subfloor and the flooring, because this can have a profound ef-
fect on the end result of your installation.
SLABS
The slab should be well aged before installing a hardwood floor. Never install wood flooring
over a concrete floor until you have turned on the floor heating system to remove any residual
moisture from the slab.
MOISTURE TESTING A SLAB
The easiest method to test a slab for moisture is to tape a 4 ft. x 4 ft. section of polyethylene
plastic sheeting to the slab and turn on the heat. If moisture appears under the plastic, heat the
slab another day and test again. Repeat this test until no moisture appears.
If the slab is in contact with the ground and does not have a moisture barrier under it, then you
will need to put a 8 mil polyethylene vapor over it before hardwood can be installed.
PLYWOOD SUBFLOORS
Do not deliver the flooring until, you have turned on the heating system, the plywood is dry
and the room has reached the proper relative humidity.
The moisture content of your hardwood must be between 6 and 9 percent when it is delivered
to the job site. If it is below this it should be returned.
Once the wood and the floor reach the desired moisture content, you are ready to install the
flooring.

UNCOILING THE TUBING
UNCOILING THE TUBE
It is very important that the tube is installed without any twists in it. The best
way, is to use a uncoiler or to roll the tubing out.
You can make a uncoiler by cutting a 4 ft. circle from 3/4" plywood, attach a
lazy -susan bearing assembly, (included in package) to the center bottom and
screw a round plastic garbage can upside clown to the top side ( fit the can to the
inside of the coil).
To install the tubing in a crawlspace leave the uncoiler outside the crawlspace
access hole, keep it out of the dirt, and place it on a hard clean surface.
DO NOT TAKE THE TUBING OFF THE SIDE OF THE COIL!

If you kink the tubing you can repair it by straightening out the kink and heating it with a heat

performing this method, practice on a scrap.
SPLICING; extra couplings should be kept on hand in case the tubing is damaged. Be sure
to cut the tubing square and insert it all the way into the fitting. If the coupling is put in
concrete, sleeves are should be used to protect it from the concrete. Do not leave electrical tape
directly on tubing.

a TUBE TALON
TM
There are several methods of attaching the tubing to the subfloor. Twenty two years ago we
installed our first radiant system by simply driving nails on the side of the floor joists and hang-
ing the tubing on them. Over the years we have used several methods, we have installed over
2,000 systems and have used every thing available including Gyp - crete, tubing half clamps,
hand staplers, air staplers, metal pans, plastic pans and grooved sub - flooring. Here is a list of
the different systems and the advantages and disadvantages.
♦ Lightweight concrete, although we have installed over 100 systems of this type, we have
seen several of them fail.
♦ The air stapler requires a compressor and is hard to get into tight places, also the staples can
damage the tubing.
♦ The metal pans are suppose to spread the heat out more evenly, all the testing we have done
proves this to be untrue, also many people complain of to much noise.
♦ The plastic pans work good but are relatively expensive.
♦ The grooved subfloor is very expensive, causes streaking and can cause extensive damage
to the sub -floor in case of a leak.
♦ The tube talons or half clamps have proven to be a good choice, they are inexpensive, and
you only need a hammer to install them.
♦ The hand operated staple gun has proven to be the favorite choice of the installers, and is
specifically designed for heating applications of PEX.

To receive the best efficiency and comfort from your radiant heating
system some rules need to be followed:
- All exterior rim joists must be insulated.
— The crawl space does not need a vapor barrier installed on the ground
if you tape the seams on the radiant barrier.
— The crawl space ceiling must be insulated.
— Insulation should be stapled to the bottom of joists
— Floors with sheet rock under them need only the exterior rim joists in-
sulated.
Radiant floors will not work properly until the joist space is closed
— Be sure to insulate tubing in areas you do not want heat.
— Ceilings that will get sheet rock do not need to be insulated except for
the exterior rim joists.

Bubble- foil - bubble radiant barrier is manufactured specifically to be installed
under slabs and crawl spaces to cut the heat loss from radiant heating systems.
Actual field testing has shown this product to be superior to fiber glass insula-
tion in crawl spaces.
Bubble- foil - bubble is the best insulation we have seen to put under slabs and
on the outside of concrete walls. By taping the seams, you eliminate the need
for a vapor barrier.
Bubble - foil - bubble is the best insulation we have seen to install in the crawl
space. It reflects 75% more heat than fiber glass. It is very easy to install and
when you tape the seams you eliminate the need for a vapor barrier.
Bubble- foil - bubble is the best insulation we have found to insulate the ends
of the joist spaces, in order to prevent heat loss through the rim joist.

PLACEMENT OF THERMOSTATS
Radiant floor heating systems require that you consider the effect of radiant on
the thermostat. Most thermostats simply measure the air temperature, although the
air temperature is some what related to personal comfort. Floor radiant does
present some unique differences.
One problem that floor radiant can present is solar surge. This is caused when a
large amount of south facing glass allows a large amount of solar energy to enter
the house after a cold night. This causes a rapid rise in temperature. The sooner
that the thermostat can respond to this problem the less effect it will have on your
comfort.
Two things are required to help prevent this problem. Place the thermostat so
that it will heat up from this solar gain and respond quickly.
This applies only to rooms where solar gain is a problem.
In other areas place the thermostat between 4 1/2 to 5 foot high, on the inside
walls, and away from outside doors and heat sources. Do not place a thermostat in
a hallway to control the bedroom or an upstairs area that is open to the downstairs.
EXCEPT FOR LIVING AREAS AND SOLAR GAIN AREAS
THERE 15 NO ADVANTAGE IN TURNING A RADIANT THERMOSTAT DOWN AT NIGHT
YOU WILL BE COMFORTABLE WITH A LOWER SETTING THAN FORCED AIR
NORMALY AROUND 65° TO 67°
TO OPERATE A RADIANT THERMOSTAT: START WITH A SETTING OF 67°,
LEAVE IT THERE FOR AT LEAST 24 HOURS, NOW MOVE THE SETTING UP OR DOWN 1 °,
LEAVE IT THERE FOR ANOTHER 24 HOURS, REPEAT THIS UNTIL YOU REACH YOUR
COMFORT LEVEL. LEAVE IT ALONE!!
IF THE ROOM GETS TO WARM DURING THE DAY DON'T TURN IT DOWN, IT IS ALREADY OFF!

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS
When the thermostat calls for heat the appropriate zone valve opens and the
pump is turned on, the hot water is circulated through the radiant tubing until
the thermostat is satisfied. When the water temperature in the Polaris drops
below the set point it will come on and maintain the desired water tempera-
ture. The anti -scald valve will mix hot and cold water together to provide a
safe domestic water delivery to hot water facets.
The Polaris delivers as much hot water as five normal water heaters.
TM
SPECIAL TURES
Stainless steel tank, combustion chamber, and flue coil assures long life. Ten year limited war-
ranty on tank.
Non -CFC foam insulation with R -16 factor minimizes heat loss, meets California Title 24 re-
quirements.
Submerged stainless steel coiled flue transfers heat from flue gasses to the water, resulting in a
94% recovery efficiency.
Submerged stainless steel combustion chamber reduces heat loss, lime buildup and noise.
Zero clearance to combustible building materials.
Solid state electronic immersion aquastat.
PVC, ABS or CPVC plastic pipe venting for both exhaust and inlet air can be vented up to 120
feet.
Negative pressure gas valve combined with power vent air blower maintains uniform gas /air
mixture for even, efficient and safe combustion with no derate for altitude.
On -board indicator lights for trouble shooting.
Power burner has a two stage combustion air blower which draws combustion in from outside.
A venturi in the blower provides proportional gas and air mixing which automatically adjusts
for different vent pipe lengths and restrictions.
Hot surface igniter lights the burner, senses the flame and eliminates the standing pilot light
for maximum energy efficiency.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Affordable Radiant Heat
POLARIS SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
• GREEN Tight on: indicates power is supplied to unit. Heater is in stand by mode.
0 ?' :1. ,( 1'N light on: indicates a call for heat and the hot surface igniter is warming up for 35 seconds.
• RED light on: indicates power is supplied to gas valve and burner has ignited. Heater runs until satisfied.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURES
WARNING: Do not use a jumper to bypass or check any component; the heater can be completely checked
without jumping. Jumping is dangerous. Remove power when connecting any high voltage test leads or
when removing any internal wiring.
In the troubleshooting procedures the problem is written in bold print followed by an explanation of the possible
cause and the solution.
WATER HEATER DOES NOT START
If the water heater'does not start, it usually indicates a problem with an integral component.
First make certain that the water heater has been installed correctly, then start the unit and observe the indicator
lights. They show the sequence of operation.
Correct polarization of incoming power and proper phasing of the primary to secondary transformer voltage is a
must. This means that the neutral and hot wires must not be reversed. The hot wire (black wire) must read 120
volts between the neutral (white) and also the ground (green). If you are using a flat cord to furnish power to the
heater, the side that has ridges on it is the neutral and the smooth side is the hot or black side. Sometimes the wall
receptacle has the polarity reversed, the black wire should be hooked to the gold screw and the white wire should
be hooked to the sliver screw.
GREEN LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON
If the green light does not come on, it is possible that the transformer needs to be replaced.
To check: Remove the access cover to locate the transformer. Check voltage with a volt -ohm meter. It should read
about 24 volts AC when connected to the low voltage side of the transformer (green and red wires). If the trans-
former has 120 volts going in to it (black and white wires and does not have approximately 24 volts going out, re-
place the transformer.
GREEN LIGHT STILL DOES NOT COME ON
If the voltage and transformer check out and the green light still does not come on , the Energy Cut Off (ECO) has
functioned. On models with a date code before 9602, the ECO is a one time safety device and is not resetable. On
models with a date code after 9602, the ECO automatically resets when the water temperature decreases to a safe
point.
To check: Disconnect power. Disconnect the two red wires from the transformer and terminal block that run to the
ECO. Check for continuity through the wires with an ohm meter. If you read an open circuit through the ECO, re-
place the ECO, circuit board and the aqua -stat.
YELLOW LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON
If the yellow light does not come on the aqua -stat may be faulty.
To check: Remove the access cover to find the aqua -stat circuit board. Remove the two black wires from the circuit
board that run to the sensor. Read resistance with an ohm meter. An open or short circuit indicates a sensor failure.
Resistance in the sensor should correspond with water temperature.
(60 degrees = 15,3000 ohms) (80 degrees= 9,300) (100 degrees = 5,800) (120 degrees= 3,800)
(140 degrees= 2,500)

Yellow light still does not come on
If the aqua -stat is working properly, but the yellow light still does not come on, the aqua -stat dial may be faulty. To
check: Disconnect power. Remove the two orange wires from the aqua -stat circuit board. Read resistance with a
ohm meter. It should read about 20,000 ohms. If the aqua -stat is at the highest setting, it should read 0 ohms.
Yellow light still does not come on
If both the aqua -stat and the aqua -stat dial are operating properly, but the yellow light still does not come on, the
circuit board may be faulty: replace the circuit board.
Red light does not come on
If the red light does not come on 35 seconds after the yellow comes on , and all other components have checked
out, replace the ignition control. When replacing the Fenwall or Robertshaw ignition modules with the UTEC mod-
ule, be sure to leave the revised wiring diagram on the Polaris unit.
Troubleshooting Guide Polaris Electronic Control Board
UTEC Status Indicator LED Error Conditions:
Flashing 1 Time- Control is in lock -out because the inducer pressure switch is stuck closed.
Flashing 2 times- Control board is in lock -out because the pressure switch did not close.
Flashing 3 times- Control board is in lock -out due to a failed ignition lock out.
Flashing 4 times- Control board is in lock -out due to a hardware fault (gas valve sense).
Flashing 5 times- Control board is in lock -out due to a hardware fault (flame sense).
Flashing 6 times- Control board is in lock -out mode due to a false or undesired flame sensed.
An Ll Polarity fault remains a fast flashing code,
Red light comes on and shuts off
If red light comes on and shuts off, the igniter may be faulty. The igniter should draw about 4 amps of current dur-
ing the 35 second heat up cycle. NOTE: Check the current draw during the 35 second heat up cycle.
To check for current draw: (procedure depends on type of test meter).
1. Disconnect power.
2. Put a clamp -on ammeter on one of the white igniter wires. Turn power on and turn the aqua -stat up to call for
heat and check amp draw (you may have to draw hot water to fire unit). If amp draw is not approximately 4
amps, replace igniter.
WARNING: Use care when replacing the igniter. It is fragile and will break if dropped. Do not touch the heating
element of igniter. Do not over tighten igniter nuts.
Red Tight still shuts off
If you check the igniter, and it is still operating properly, but the red light still shuts off the blower relay may be
faulty. (on newer models the blower relay is eliminated). To check if the relay contacts are closing:
1. Disconnect the power and disconnect the two black wires on the high voltage side of relay.
2. Check continuity through the relay contacts with a ohmmeter to see if they close after the 35 second heat up
time when the red light comes on. When the red light comes on, the ignition control is supplying 24 volts AC
to the blower relay. When the relay closes, it should read 1'20 volts across the terminals.
3. Replace the relay if it did not close.
Red light still turns off
If the igniter and relay are working properly, but the red light still turns off, blower is faulty and must be replaced.

RADIANTD1RECTSCOM
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Red light comes on and then shuts off
If the red light comes on and then shuts off, check the gas valve.
The red light comes on because the ignition control is applying 24 volts AC to the gas valve to open it. Make
sure the gas valve knob is turned to ON position and the balance line is attached.
Check the gas supply pressure using a U -tube manometer or other approved gauge. Connect the manometer to
the IN pressure tap on the gas valve. The manometer should read approximately seven inches of water column
pressure with natural gas or eleven inches water column with LP models. If the pressure is too high or too low,
the gas supply must be adjusted or replaced.
Check the supply pressure with the heater off Then check when the red light comes on and the gas valve
opens. A significant variance would indicate a problem in the gas supply system.
Burner/Blower replacement procedure
1. Remove vent line and wiring from gas valve. Remove gas valve.
2. Disconnect all blower wires.
3. Remove 4 nuts securing blower to tank.
4. Remove blower.
5. Remove distribution plate, burner, burner ground wire and all gaskets.
Remove orifice holder and orifice.
1. Install graphite (black or pink) gasket over the four blower studs and two igniter studs at tank bottom.
2. Install burner into chamber and slide it toward igniter opening as far as possible.
3. Place four inch dia. (white) gasket over studs.
Install distribution plate with burr side toward burner and other four inch dia. Gasket to bottom of distribu-
tion plate.
Install orifice and holder into blower housing with 3 wraps of Teflon tape on as valve end only.
Install blower and tighten as shown.

RADIANTDIRECT.COM
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE
Affordable Radiant Heat
1. Look for any blockage in the air inlet and vent outlet pipes or the condensate line.
2. Check the gas valve regulator pressure setting. The gas valve open quickly to the correct pressure setting, it
should not fluctuate.
3. Clock the input rate of the heater. Use the correct input calculation table or correct formula to calculate the
input. If the input differs greatly from the rated input (adjusted for inlet and outlet pipe length), there may be
some hidden restriction in the vent piping, condensate trap and drain, gas orifice, orifice holder, venturi, bal-
ance line, blower, distribution plate or burner. When removing or replacing the blower or burner, new gaskets
must be installed. If a unit with a date code prior to 9630114253 is found to be running rough, and the mani -
fold pressure is set within the range of -0.1" W.C. to —0.3" W.C., install the Polaris upgrade kit. Be sure to
take manifold pressure reading with regulator adjustment cap off.
After the Polaris Upgrade Kit is installed, check the transformer polarity, the negative pressure at the regulator and
ignition characteristics. If the unit still cannot be set within the range of -0.1" W.C. to —0.3" W.C. (cap off) with-
out running or starting rough. Call American Water Heater Company. Have your model and serial number
ready. 1- 800 - 456 -9805
DO NOT START OR SHUTOFF UNIT WITH THE REGULATOR ADJUSTING CAP OFF!
THIS WILL RUPTURE OR DAMAGE THE DIAPHRAGM IN THE GAS VALVE
1. Turn the temperature control dial to the lowest setting.
2. Remove the left access panel.
3. Use a 3/16" Allen wrench to remove the plug from the OUT PRESS tap on the gas valve.
4. Connect a differential pressure gauge (Dwyer Magnehelic or Dwyer Slope) to the OUT PRESS tap (1/8" NPT)
on the gas valve.
5. Start the Polaris water heater by turning the temperature control dial to the highest setting.
6. Close the shutoff valve on your slope gauge during start-up so that the higher pressures will not push the indi-
cating fluid out of the gauge.
7. Wait until the RED burner light comes on and the unit is running.
8. Remove the regulator adjustment cap.
9. Read the pressure on the gauge while the cap is off and unit is running. It should be —0.20" W.C. average set -
ting.
10. Replace the regulator adjustment cap. Tighten the cap snugly.
11. The negative pressure (with cap on) will fall to an average of- 0.30" W. C. to —0.50" W.C. depending upon
vent length and number of elbows.
12. Restart and cycle the unit three times to check for smooth ignition.
13. Re- adjust the negative pressure setting if necessary.
14. Shut off the Polaris heater, disconnect gauge, replace the OUT PRESS plug.
15. Replace access cover and restart the unit.

Determining the gas input
The Polaris uses ABS/PVC or CPVC Schedule 40 plastic pipe for vent outlet and the combustion air inlet. Venting
should be as direct as possible with a minimum of pipe fittings and sloped back to the Polaris 1/4" per foot on hori-
zontal runs. When 2 inch ABS/PVC or CPVC Schedule 40 plastic pipe is used the length of the combustion air
inlet and the exhaust vent affects the gas input rate.
At the maximum vent pipe length the Polaris will be firing at approximately 94,000 BTUH. At the minimum vent
pipe length the Polaris will be firing at approximately 100,000 BTUH.

, states as follows:
1. I have made application for a building permit from the City of Tukwila, Washington.
2. I understand that state law requires that all building construction contractors be registered with the
State of Washington. The exceptions to this requirement are stated under Section 18.27.090 of the
Revised Code Washington, a copy of which is printed on the reverse side of this Affidavit. I have
read or am familiar with RCW 18.27.090.
3. I understand that prior to issuance of a building permit for work which is to be done by any
contractor, the City of Tukwila must verify either that the contractor is registered by the State of
Washington, or that one of the exemptions stated under RCW 18.27.090 applies.
4 In order to provide verification to the City of Tukwila of my compliance with this requirement, I hereby
attest that after reading the exemptions from the registration requirement of RCW 18.27.090, I
consider the work authorized under this building permit to be exempt under No. , and
will therefore not be performed by a registered contractor.
I understand that I may be waiving certain rights that I might otherwise have under state law in any decision to
engage an unregistered contractor to perform construction work.

Dear Permit Holder:
In reviewing our current records the above noted permit has not received a final inspection by the City of
Tukwila Building Division. Per the Uniform Building Code and /or Uniform Mechanical Code, every permit
issued by the Building Official under the provisions of this code shall expire by limitation and become null
and void if the building or work authorized by such permit is not commenced within 180 days from the date
of such permit, or if the building or work authorized by such permit is suspended or abandoned at any time
after the work is commenced for a period of 180 days.
• Call the City Of Tukwila Permit Center at (206) 431 -3670 to schedule a
progress or a final inspection
A progress inspection is intended to determine if substantial work has been accomplished since issuance of
the permit or last inspection; or if the project should be considered abandoned.
If such determination is made, the Building Code does allow the Building Official to approve a one -time
extension up to 180 days. Extension requests must be in writing and provide satisfactory reasons why
circumstances beyond the applicant's control have prevented action from being taken.
In the event you do not call for the above inspection or request and receive an extension prior to May 19,
2002, your permit will become null and void and any further work on the project will require a new permit and
associated fees.
