Boiler relief valve and discharge piping, installed
per Ultra Boiler Manual

This manual provides general guidelines for piping and installation. Your installation must comply with all applicable local
codes.

When using isolation valves on each boiler, some codes may require providing a low water control and additional
limit for each boiler. If desired, consult the codes to determine if exclusion of the individual boiler isolation valves
may allow the use of a single water level control and additional limit for the entire multiple boiler system.
