5.1 General
• Install piping in accordance with authority having jurisdiction.
NOTICE
Use two (2) wrenches when tightening and fitting
to pipe boiler's threaded fittings. Boiler's internal
piping can be damaged if subjected to excessive
torque.
• Support system piping and safety relief valve discharge
piping. Boiler's internal piping and wall mount bracket can
be damaged if subjected to excessive weight.
• Size central heating pump (and domestic hot water pump,
if used) for system requirements only. Heat exchanger
pump compensates for pressure drop through boiler
internal piping and heat exchanger.
• Thoroughly clean and flush system before connecting to
boiler.
• If oil is present in system water, use approved detergent to
wash system.
• Flush system to remove any solid objects such as metal
chips, fibers, or Teflon tape, etc.
5.2 Special Conditions
• System piping exposed to freezing conditions: Use
inhibited proplyene glycol solutions certified by fluid
manufacturer for use with closed water heating system.
Do not use automotive or ethylene glycol.
• Boiler installed above radiation level (or as required by
authority having jurisdiction). Integral low water cutoff
provided in boiler. See pages 7 & 9.
• Boiler used in connection with refrigeration system.
Install piping in parallel with boiler, with appropriate
valves to prevent chilled medium from entering boiler.
• System piping connected to heating coils located in air
handling unit exposed to refrigerated air circulation. Install
flow control valves or other automatic means to prevent
gravity circulation of boiler water during cooling cycle.
5.3 Safety Relief Valve and Air Vent
NOTICE
Boiler rated at 150 psig (1.03 MPa) maximum
allowable working pressure. Boiler provided with
30 psig (206 kPa) safety relief valve. Field source
safety relief valve for system pressures greater than
25 psig. Temperature Pressure Gauge satisfactory
for 60 psig operation. Field source temperature
pressure gauge for system pressures greater than
60 psig.
• Install safety relief valve and air vent using pipe fittings
provided with boiler. See figure 5-1
• Install safety relief valve with spindle in vertical position.
• Do not install shutoff valve between boiler and safety
relief valve.
WARNING
• Poison hazard. Ethylene glycol is toxic. Do not
use ethylene glycol.
• Never use automotive or standard glycol antifreeze,
even ethylene glycol made for hydronic systems.
• Ethylene glycol can attack gaskets and seals used
in hydronic systems.
• Use only inhibited proplyene glycol solutions
certified by fluid manufacturer as acceptable for
use with closed water heating system.
• Thoroughly clean and flush any system that used
glycol before installing new Boiler.
• Provide user with Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS) on fluid used.
