  Remove the circulator and install a pipe tee between 

the circulator and boiler return along with a second tee 

in the supply piping as shown in Figure 7.  The bypass 

should be the same size as the supply and return lines 

with valves located in the bypass and supply outlet as 

illustrated in Figure 7 in order to regulate water flow 

to maintain higher boiler water temperatures.

  Set the by-pass and boiler supply valves to a half throttle 

position to start.  Operate boiler until the system water 

temperature is at a normal operating range.

  Adjust the valves to provide 180° to 200°F supply 

water temperature.  Opening the boiler supply valve 

will raise the system temperature, while opening the 

by-pass valve will lower the system supply temperature.

6.  If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration 

systems, the boiler must be installed so that the chilled 

medium is piped in parallel with the heating boiler 

using appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium 

from entering the boiler, see Figure 8.  Also consult 

I=B=R ,"Residential Hydronic Heating Installation 

and Design Guide".

7.  If this boiler is connected to heating coils located 

in air handling units where they may be exposed to 

refrigerated air the boiler piping must be equipped with 

flow control valves to prevent gravity circulation of 

boiler water during the operation of the cooling system.

IMPORTANT

8.  A hot water boiler installed above radiation level must 

be provided with a low water cutoff device as part of 

the installation.

  If a low water cut-off is required, it must be mounted 

in the system piping above the boiler.  The minimum 

Figure 8:  Recommended Piping for Combination 

Heating & Cooling (Refrigeration) System

III:  INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (continued)

safe water level of a hot water boiler is just above the 

highest water containing cavity of the boiler; that is, a 

hot water boiler must be full of water to operate safely.  

Refer to Appendix "A" at the rear of this manual.

9.  If it is required to perform a long term pressure test of 

the hydronic system, the boiler should first be isolated 

to avoid a pressure loss due to the escape of air trapped 

in the boiler.

  To perform a long term pressure test including the 

boiler, ALL trapped air must first be removed from 

the boiler.

WARNING

Assure that there is not air left inside boiler 

when checking for leaks.  DO NOT test for leaks 

with pressurized air.

  A loss of pressure during such a test, with no visible 

water leakage, is an indication that the boiler contained 

trapped air.

CONNECT  TANKLESS  HEATER  PIPING  AS 

SHOWN  IN

 Figure 9.  See Table 2 for Tankless Heater 

Ratings.

THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED 

WHEN PIPING THE TANKLESS HEATER:

1.  FLOW REGULATION - If low through the heater is 

greater than its rating, the supply of adequate hot water 

may not be able to keep up with the demand.  For this 

reason  a  flow  regulator  matching  the  heater  rating 

should be installed in the cold water line to the heater.  

The flow regulator should preferably be located below 

the inlet to the heater and a minimum of 3' away from 

the inlet so that the regulator is not subjected to excess 

temperatures that may occur during "off" periods when 

it is possible for heat to be conducted back through the
