Examine carton for visible damage that may have occured during shipping. If damage is
visible notify your courier and supplier immediately.
Open carton carefully, pull tape off carton, do not cut tape or you may damage the finish on
the panel.
Remove the panel from the carton, lift panel by base, and do not lift by circulator or other
components.
Locate and verify that the items shown below are packaged in the carton or in the panel.
Before discarding carton, check carefully for any loose components or accessories that may
be located in the box.
It is recommended the piping distance between the RHP and the heater should be no greater
than 20ft. and central to RFH manifolds. In addition, the components on the RHP must be easily
accessible should repair or service be required.
Give careful consideration to the mounting location of your RHP panel. You must ensure you
have adequate room to connect the heat source supply and return as well as the system
supply and return to the panel. To minimize piping, locate the panel as close as possible to the
heat source (max. 20 ft.). The electrical feed into the panel is through a 6 foot factory wired cord
and plug that requires a dedicated 15-amp receptacle. Locate the panel near the receptacle
or in an area where such a receptacle can be easily installed.
Dimension lines are to a pipe velocity between 2 and 5 ft/s. (see chart below). The circulator
supplied with the RHP has differential pressure available for some limited distribution piping.
Exceeding the available differential pressure could cause under-performance. Please refer to
specification sheet or contact NIBCO.
