Domestic Piping
SECTION III - Domestic Piping
General Piping Requirements
•
All plumbing must meet or exceed all
local, state and national plumbing codes.
•
Use pipe dope or tape suitable for
potable water.
•
Use isolation valves to isolate system
components.
•
Install unions for easy removal of the
MODULATING DELTA from the sys-
tem piping.
Domestic Supply Pressure
For applications in which the domestic sup-
ply pressure exceeds
70 psig
it is recom-
mended to install a pressure reducing valve
on the cold water supply.
Maintaining the cold water supply at or
below
70 psig
will prevent normal thermal
expansion from repeatedly forcing the T&P
relief valve open.
Thermal Expansion
If the cold water supply to the domestic
inner tank contains a backflow preventer,
check valve and / or a pressure reducing
valve, the installer must install a domestic
thermal expansion tank on the cold water
supply. (See Fig. 2 page 11)
Installing a thermal expansion tank will
prevent normal thermal expansion from
repeatedly forcing the T&P relief valve
open.
When installing a thermal expansion tank
ensure the charge pressure of the tank is
equal to the cold water supply pressure at
the point of installation. Consult the ther-
mal expansion tank manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for further information on installation
and sizing.
The Temperature / Pressure relief valve
is not intended for constant duty, such as
relief of pressure due to normal thermal
expansion.
Water Hammer
Water hammer is the effect of sudden pres-
sure changes occurring in the domestic pip-
ing. These pressure changes are typically
the result of “fast acting” positive shut-off
valves closing. These types of valves can
be typically found on dishwashers and
clothes washers.
The effects of water hammering can cause
damage to system components and tank
welds on the appliance.
Installation of hammer arresters is recom-
mended at these types of appliances, which
incorporate “fast-acting” positive shut-off
valves. Consult the manufacturer of water
hammer arresters for recommendation on
sizing and installation requirements.
Temperature / Pressure Relief Valve
The MODULATING DELTA has a factory
installed Temperature / Pressure Relief
valve.
The installer must install discharge piping onto
the T&P relief valve. The discharge piping
must be:
•
Made of material serviceable for tem-
peratures of 250ºF or greater.
•
Directed so that any hot water dis-
charge flows away from all persons.
•
Directed to a suitable place of drainage.
•
Installed as to allow complete draining
of the T&P relief valve and the dis-
charge piping.
•
Terminated with a plain end, not with
threads.
