Kickspace
Heaters should be connected only to circulating hot water systems where at least 1 gpm water flow
is expected. They are essentially small unit heaters, and will work on one or two pipe systems, or in a series loop
where pressure and temperature drop can be tolerated (see capacity charts and piping diagrams). These units are
not designed for use with steam systems. See bottom paragraph on page 7. These units are not recommended to
be used with a gravity flow system. Series loop systems do not require scoop or venturi tees.

SYSTEM CONSIDERATIONS
NOTE: In an up feed system, unit is located above hot water supply line. In a down feed
system, unit is located below hot water supply line.
For One Pipe System Down Feed, two directional flow tees should be used. They should be spaced 12
to 18" apart. To better understand directional flow tee installation, refer to page 5.
If directional flow tee's are not available, an adjustable screw operated flow control or circuit setter
can be placed between the two standard tee's in a one pipe system.
For consistent response of the reverse acting thermostat, and effective outlet air temperature, the
average water temperature should not be below 120°F (49°C). Blower motor shuts off at 105°F (41°C)
and will not operate until water temperature reaches 120°F (49°C).
If utilizing water temperature below 120°F (49°C), the blower will not operate with the self contained
aquastat. An optional low temperature aquastat, 110° to 95°F (43° to 35°C) is available.
Installation should be done with as few fittings as possible. Multiple fittings may cause too much resistance.
