REFER TO NATIONAL AND ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES FOR SPECIFIC INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS.
1.
The boiler should be mounted on a solid, level foundation.
2.
The boiler should be located with suitable clearances, refer to page 3 and Code requirements.
NOTE:
Allow minimum of 21 inches clearance in front of door for servicing of heating elements.
Piping
ALL PIPING SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED LICENSED PLUMBER IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES.
3.
1.
When water feed is other than pump type the water
supply pressure must be 10 psig greater than boiler operating pressure to assure water supply maintains proper
water level in the boiler. Insufficient water levels can result
in improper boiler operation. (Keep feed water valves
open at all times during normal operation.)
2.
If pump and boiler are plumbed within 30 feet (pipe
length) a minimum of 2 check valves are required to
avoid damage to pump.
Connect steam line with customer supplied outlet valve
to boiler steam outlet.
4.
Provide for boiler drain connection, a daily blowdown is
required. A "Blowdown Separator Tank" may be necessary, check with local code.
5.
Safety valve shall be plumbed according to local code.
NOTE:
The safety valve shall not be plumbed with a line
sized less than the outlet size of the safety valve.
