34 Installing the Water Heater
3.4.5 System Application - External
Recirculation
The following diagram shows the recirculation
system's basic operation of an NPE-A2/S2 series
water heater system with the Navien NaviCirc and
Navien HotButton kit with or without a dedicated
return line.
Note
●
The NPE-A2/S2 series water heaters
have a built-in Navien HotButton
controller (the push button, wall
plate, and temperature sensor must
be purchased separately).
●
Install the NaviCirc to the faucet
farthest from the water heater. If
installed in close proximity to the
water heater, faucet pipes far away
may not be properly heated.
●
For details, refer to the manual
provided with the NaviCirc kit.
●
The Navien HotButton can be used
ONLY with a water heater system
configured for DHW recirculation.
●
All other recirculation functions will
be disabled.
