Part 1 - General Safety Information
Part 4 - Water Piping
NOTE:
In piping applications utilizing a single zone, it is recommended
that the installer use flow / check valves with weighted seats at or near
the appliance to prevent gravity circulation.
NOTES:
1. This drawing is meant to show system piping concept only.
Installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by
local codes.
2. Primary / Secondary Loop: All closely spaced tees shall be within 4
pipe diameters center to center spacing.
3. A minimum of 6 pipe diameters of straight pipe shall be installed
upstream and downstream of all closely spaced tees.
4. The minimum pipe size of DHW piping should be ¾” diameter and
CH piping should be 1” in diameter.
5. Circulators are shown with isolation flanges. The alternative is
standard flanges with full port ball valves. Purge valves can be used
with circulator flanges as an alternative.
6. Install a minimum of 12 diameters of straight pipe upstream of all
circulators.
7.
VERY IMPORTANT
– Minimum flow rates outlined in this manual
(2 gpm) must be maintained through the heat exchanger to
minimize short cycling.
8. In a valve-based system, each heating zone has a zone valve which
opens when that zone calls for heat. Each zone thermostat is
wired to its corresponding zone valve. Contacts in the zone valves
provide a signal to the boiler to operate when there is a call for
heat.
9.
Unit is equipped with built-in primary pump.
This pump is sized
to ensure proper flow rate through the boiler heat exchanger and
related piping.
The piping will not support the weight of the circulators. Refer to
the circulator manufacturer’s instructions to properly support the
circulator. Failure to comply with these instructions could result in
property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
Figure illustrates the basic plumbing requirements for a FTVN110C /
FTVN150C / FTVN199C boiler installation utilizing Primary/Secondary
piping when the boiler circulator will not provide adequate flow for the
system. Primary / Secondary is required to provide adequate flow for
the secondary circuits.
