Installation Manual
Bosch Tronic 6100 C Electric Tankless Water Heaters- BTC 724001301 A (08.2022)
NOTICE: PRODUCT DAMAGE
High heat sources (sources generating heat 100°F / 37°C
or greater, such as stove pipes, space heaters, etc.) may
damage plastic components of the water heater. Such
damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. It is recommended
to keep a minimum clearance of 8” from high heat sources.
Observe heat source manufacturer instructions, as well as
local, state, provincial, and national codes, laws, regulations
and ordinances when installing this water heater and related
components near high heat sources.
2.4 Locating the Water Heater
WARNING: INDOOR INSTALLATION ONLY
DO NOT INSTALL OUTDOORS.This water heater is certified
for indoor installation only. Outdoor installations ARE NOT
covered by warranty. Failure to install the water heater
indoors could result in property damage, severe personal
injury, or death.
NOTICE: PROPERTY DAMAGE
All water heaters eventually leak. Locate the water heater
where any leakage from the relief valve, related piping, tank,
or connections will not result in damage to surrounding
areas or lower floors of the building. Any water heater
should be installed in such a manner that if it should leak
the resulting flow of water will not cause damage to the area
in which it is installed. National Plumbing codes require a
drain pan for any water heater installation. Failure to install
one is the sole responsibility of owner and/or installer.
Reference UPC 2000 (Uniform Plumbing Code) Section
510 - Protection from Damage or IPC 200 (International
Plumbing code) Section 504 - Safety Devices. Leakage
damages ARE NOT covered by warranty. In addition,
water leak detection devices and automatic water shutoff
valves are readily available at plumbing supply houses.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER
TO INSTALL WATER LEAK DETECTION DEVICES AND
AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF VALVES IN ANY WATER HEATER
INSTALLATION WHERE A LEAKAGE OF WATER COULD
RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGES.
2.4.1 Installation Area (Mechanical Room) Operating Conditions
This water heater must be installed upright in the vertical position and on a
plumb surface as described in this manual.
WARNING: IMPROPER OR DANGEROUS OPERATION
DO NOT attempt to install this water heater in any other
orientation than in a upright, vertical position and on a level
surface (see Fig. 5). Doing so will result in improper water
heater operation and property damage, and could result in
serious personal injury or death.
Ensure ambient temperatures are higher than 32°F / 0°C and lower than
104°F / 40°C.
Attic ambient temperatures may frequently exceed 104°F.
WARNING: IMPROPER OR DANGEROUS OPERATION
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the
heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure that
the installation location adheres to the information included
in this manual. Failure to do so could result in property
damage, serious personal injury, or death.
Avoid continuously high levels of humidity, moisture, or dust, or an area
that may be splashed with water or other liquids. DO NOT install under
water pipes or air conditioning lines that might leak or condense onto the
water heater.
When installing in a minimum clearance location, it may not be possible
to read or view some product information.
WARNING: SCALD HAZARD
Keep water heater and hot outlet piping securely out of the
reach of children to prevent tampering with the controls or
contact with an extremely hot pipe.
NOTICE: PRODUCT DAMAGE, PROPERTY DAMAGE
The service life of the water heater’s exposed metallic
surfaces are directly influenced by proximity to damp
and salty marine environments. In such areas higher
concentration levels of chlorides from sea spray coupled
with relative humidity can lead to degradation of water
heater components and cause premature water heater
failure. Such failures ARE NOT covered by warranty.
