7.4.2 Equipment Efficiency
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
All water-heating equipment, hot-water supply boilers used solely for heating potable water, pool heaters, and hot-water storage tanks shall meet the criteria listed in Table 7.8. Where multiple criteria are listed, all criteria shall be met. Omission of minimum performance requirements for certain classes of equipment does not preclude use of such equipment where appropriate. Equipment not listed in Table 7.8 has no minimum performance requirements.
Exceptions to 7.4.2
All water heaters and hot-water supply boilers having more than 140 gal of storage capacity are not required to meet the standby loss (SL) requirements of Table 7.8 when
- the tank surface is thermally insulated to R-12.5,
- a standing pilot light is not installed, and
- gas- or oil-fired storage water heaters have a flue damper or fan-assisted combustion.
