Removal of air from the system must occur via use of air
vent(s) in the system supply. To ensure the boiler can be
purged of all air, ensure supply/return water lines do not
contain restrictive piping where air could be trapped.
Low water cut-off
A low water cut-off may be required by local codes. Do
not install an isolation valve between boiler and low water
cutoff (see subsection entitled “Boiler with low water
cutoff” on page 34 in these instructions).
IMPORTANT
WARNING
Do not install an isolation valve between boiler and
pressure relief valve.
The discharge pipe for the pressure relief valve must
be oriented to prevent scalding of attendants.
Pipe pressure relief valve discharge pipe close to floor
drain. Never pipe discharge pipe to the outdoors.
