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 2 and 3 and Code requirements.

ALL PIPING SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED LICENSED PLUMBER IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES.

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.

3.

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.

6.

SSB Boilers have Stainless Steel all wetted metal parts. SSB boilers shall be operated using only deionized
water, having a maximum conductance of 1 microSiemen per cm (1 µS/cm) [minimum specific resistivity of 1
megohm per cm (1ΜΩ/cm)].

NOTE:

The safety valve shall not be plumbed with a line sized less than the outlet size of the safety valve.
