BEFORE INSTALLATION
Raypak strongly recommends that this manual be re-
viewed thoroughly before installing your MVB heater.
Please review the General Safety information before
installing the heater. Factory warranty does not apply
to heaters that have been improperly installed or oper-
ated. (Refer to the warranty at the back of this
manual.) Installation and service must be performed
by a qualified installer, service agency or gas supplier.
If, after reviewing this manual, you still have questions
which this manual does not answer, please contact
your local Raypak representative or visit our website at
www.raypak.com.
Thank you for purchasing a Raypak product. We hope
you will be satisfied with the high quality and durability
of our equipment.
Product Receipt
On receipt of your heater it is suggested that you visu-
ally check for external damage to the shipping crate. If
the crate is damaged, make a note to that effect on the
Bill of Lading when signing for the shipment. Next,
remove the heater from the shipping packaging.
Report any damage to the carrier immediately.
On occasion, items are shipped loose. Be sure that
you receive the correct number of packages as indi-
cated on the Bill of Lading.
Claims for shortages and damages must be filed with
the carrier by consignee. Permission to return goods
must be received from the factory prior to shipping.
Goods returned to the factory without an authorized
Returned Goods Receipt number will not be accepted.
All returned goods are subject to a restocking charge.
When ordering parts, you must specify the model and
serial number of the heater. When ordering under war-
ranty conditions, you must also specify the date of
installation.
Purchased parts are subject to replacement only
under the manufacturer’s warranty. Debits for defec-
tive replacement parts will not be accepted. Parts will
be replaced in kind only per Raypak’s standard war-
ranties.
Model Identification
The model identification number and heater serial
number are found on the heater rating plate located on
the upper rear jacket panel of the heater. The model
number will have the form H7-2003 or similar depend-
ing on the heater size and configuration. The letter(s)
in the first group of characters identifies the application
(H = Hydronic Heating, WH = Domestic Hot Water
(DHW)). The number which follows identifies the firing
mode (7 = electronic modulation). The second group
of characters identifies the size of the heater (three or
four numbers representing the approximate MBTUH
input), and, where applicable, a letter, indicating the
manufacturing series.
