NORDIC® “DX” Series  Typical Plumbing & Ductwork  

NOTE: 

If (2) valves are installed on the hot water lines as 
shown in this diagram then a pressure relief valve 
(set at 75 - 100 psig.) must also be installed to pre-
vent the build-up of pressure which may result in 
bursting of the circulator pump housing if the unit 
is operated while both valves are shut. 
(See point “A” marked above) 

Nordic® DX (All Models) 

Hot water lines are 1/2” ID copper. 

Insulate both hot lines and all refrigerant lines. 

Use ball or gate valves on hot water lines. 

Set hot water thermostats in tank to 120°F. 

Use flexible duct collars to eliminate vibration 
and noise.
