SECTION IV: INSTALLATION
WATER CONNECTIONS
All piping between the boiler and the indirect heater should be new copper with a
minimum size of 3/4” ID for models 30SK, 40SK, and 50SK. Use 1” minimum copper for
models 80SK and 119SK. Elbows should be minimized. A flow check valve must be
installed on the return line.
All piping to the inlet (cold) and outlet (hot) domestic water connections should be new
copper with a minimum size of 1/2” ID for models 30SK, 40SK, and 50SK. Use 3/4” ID
minimum for models 80SK and 119SK.
All piping should conform to local codes and ordinances. At a minimum, refer to IHLR 84
code if local codes are not in place. It is recommended that all piping be adequately
insulated with approved material to ensure minimum heat loss. If a re-circulation line is
used for domestic water, be certain that all lines are well insulated and the circulator is
temperature controlled. Install isolation valves to permit proper servicing. It is also
recommended to install a union on the domestic outlet to facilitate replacement of the hot
outlet / anode nipple on models 30SK, 40SK, and 50SK.
See Figures 6 and 7 for proper water connection installation.
Note:
Indirect may be connected to a steam
boiler provided that all piping to and from
the boiler are below the water line of the boiler.
Boiler must also be protected by a low water
cut off safety device.
