FEEDWATER PIPING

Figure 2

Do not fill the boiler

until the installation is complete and you are ready to fire the burner.

Firing the burner will then boil the water which will drive off the dissolved oxygen in the
water and help maintain the proper boiler water chemical balance.

See the WATER TREATMENT section for important information regarding the proper chem-
ical water treatment required to insure satisfactory service life of the boiler.

On long horizontal runs of piping, it is best to maintain the piping as level as possible.
Avoid high spots that will collect air and lead to erratic pumping. Install a check valve to
prevent the boiler water from back feeding into the service water supply.
