NOTES:
1. All piping is schedule 40.
2. To prevent condensate from being trapped in header, do not reduce equalizer elbow at header connection.
3. Ball valve preferable, gate valve acceptable alternative (supplied by others).
• Minimum valve size per ASME code is 3/4” NPT
• Increasing the valve size will improve the blowdown operation.
• In all cases, piping connecting blowoff valve to boiler shall be full size to the point of discharge.
4. Header piping may be run over top of the boiler if space does not allow for piping arrangement shown. Increased service requirements will result however.
5. Supply from the boiler header must be connected between the first boiler riser and the header drip (or Hartford Loop). Do not connect supply between risers or opposite end of boiler header.
