Installation and Operation Instructions
Tft Series

Treatment -
Boiler water that falls outside of the conditions listed above must be treated with a corrosion
inhibitor. For information on performing the treatment, follow the instructions included with the corrosion
inhibitor. See Table 10-1 for a list of recommended boiler system cleaners and corrosion inhibitors.
To maintain protection, the level of corrosion inhibitor must be monitored periodically
for the correct concentration.
Anti-freeze
- For systems requiring freeze protection, use only inhibited propylene glycol, specially formulated
for hydronic heating systems; use of other types of antifreeze may be harmful to the system and will void the
warranty. Note: the use of glycol may reduce the usable output capacity of the boiler, thus requiring the unit
to be “down-fired” by limiting the maximum operating capacity and/or the maximum water temperature.
NTI recommends against exceeding 35% concentration of glycol.
DO NOT use inhibited glycol with non-compatible boiler inhibitors. Non-compatible
inhibitors may counteract each other rendering them ineffective.

Pressure Relief Valve -
A Pressure Relief Valve is factory supplied with each unit. Trinity Tft boilers have a
maximum allowable operating pressure of 30PSI (80PSI for models Tft155-399). The pressure relief valve
must be installed at the boiler outlet and in the vertical position, as shown in Figures 10-1 through 10-3, with
the drain pipe outlet exiting the side of the pressure relief valve horizontally and elbowing downward.
If installed in the incorrect orientation (horizontally with drain pipe out the bottom) the
relief valve may not function properly resulting in property damage or personal injury.
Ensure the discharge of the pressure relief is piped to a location where the steam or water
will not cause property damage or serious injury.
Pressure Gauge –
Trinity Tft units come with a factory supplied Pressure Gauge. The pressure gauge must be
installed at the boiler outlet prior to any circulators. See Figures 10-1 through 10-3.
Auto Air Vent
– Install the factory supplied auto air vent directly above the outlet fitting on the top of the unit;
see Figures 10-1 through 10-3 illustrating the correct location. Failure to install the auto air vent as illustrated
may result in occasional malfunctioning of the incorporated LWCO.
Low Water Cutoff (LWCO)
– Trinity Tft boilers are provided with a factory installed LWCO switch which
incorporates a Test Button and Power and Low Water indicator lights. Perform the following Operational
Test Procedure before placing the boiler in service, and ensure Maintenance is carried out with the following
schedule.
Do not run the boiler unattended until the following procedure is completed. Failure to
follow procedure may lead to unsafe boiler operation resulting in fire, property damage
and loss of life.
Operational Test Procedure (LWCO)
1.
Before introducing water to the boiler, turn the power on; both the green “POWER” LED and amber “LOW
WATER” LED should illuminate. Generate a burner demand; the burner should not fire and “Lockout 67
ILK OFF” should appear on the screen. Contact NTI for assistance if this does not happen.
2.
Fill the boiler with water; the “LOW WATER” LED should turn off. Clear the Lockout from the display
board; burner should fire.
3.
With the burner firing, press the TEST button to simulate a low water condition; the amber “LOW WATER”
LED should illuminate and the burner should turn off.
Maintenance (LWCO)
Every Year – perform Step 3 from the Operational Test Procedure.
Every 5-years – Remove the LWCO and clean all surfaces in contact with water.
