Hot water outlet

The next step in the installation process is to connect the hot 
water system piping to the hot water outlet port. The hot 
water supply tapping is located on top of the tank.

A manual shutoff valve should be installed downstream on 
the hot water outlet line as an isolation device in case the 
unit must be disconnected from the system. The shutoff 
valve should be in the closed position and remain so until the 
installation is complete.

Mixing valve

Field supplied.  An anti-scald mixing valve is recommended 
when storing domestic hot water above 115°F.

Aquastat bulbwell

Review the controls for the hot water source equipment.  Some 
equipment or systems designs will require an independent 
aquastat (field supplied) to control the equipment. The 
aquastat may be surface mounted onto the jacket of the 
tank or a nearby surface. The water sensing probe may be 
installed in the 3/8" diameter dry bulbwell supplied with all 
Lochinvar Hot Water Storage Tanks. The equipment may 
employ a water sensing thermistor. The thermistor would be 
installed into the dry bulbwell and wired back to the hot water 
equipment.

Installation

 WARNING

Before making any connections of water 
inlet or outlet to the unit, assure that 
all piping is clean and free of foreign 
material or scale.  This can usually be 
accomplished by “blowing out” the pipe.  
Any foreign material or scale entering the 
unit can adversely affect operation and 
performance.

The two (2) tappings on the lower side of the tank shall 
provide recirculation between the tank and the water heating 
source.  See example piping diagram between a storage tank 
and an indirect gas fired water heater (FIG. 2-1).

Connecting the hot water source

 NOTICE

See the Water Heater’s Installation and 
Operation manual for specific piping 
diagrams that match the inlet / outlet 
water tappings on the tank to the inlet / 
outlet water tappings on the water heater.  
Tapping locations on the water heater 
may vary by product or manufacturer.

 NOTICE

For 

all

 piping connections, the use and / 

or type of joint compound or sealer on the 
joint should be determined by referring 
to local codes, accepted practices, or the 
requirements of the installing contractor.

If the cold water supply to the system is equipped with 
an in-line check valve or backflow preventer, a suitable 
expansion tank must be installed in the cold water supply 
line.
