INSTALLATION –
TOOLS NEEDED:
One (1) pipe wrench and one (1) socket wrench.
STEP 1 - Preparation
Drain the water in the receiving tank to a level
which is below the control opening (A). Allow the
boiler to cool to 80˚F (27˚C) and allow the
pressure to release to 0 psi (0 bar).
Use a socket wrench to secure the feeder (D)
to the receiver tank with the six
3
/8” - 16
bolts through mounting flange (C) and
tighten to 18 ft•lb (24 N•m).
