4)Fill Valve (Required) – Either a manual or automatic fill valve may be used. The ideal location for the fill is at the expansion tank.

5)Automatic Air Vent (Required) – At least one automatic air vent is required. Manual vents will usually be required in other parts of the system to remove air during initial fill.

6)Low Water Cut-Off (Required in some situations) – A low water cut-off is required when the boiler is installed above radiation. In addition, some codes such as ASME CSD-1 require low water cut-offs. Codes may also require that this low water cut-off have a manual reset function. The low water cut-off may be a float type or probe type but must be designed for use

in a hot-water system. The low water cut-off should be piped into the boiler supply just above the boiler with no intervening valve between it and the boiler.

Use a low water cut-off that breaks the line voltage electrical supply to the boiler.

7)Manual Reset High Limit (Required by some codes) – This control is required by ASME CSD-1 and some other codes. Install the high limit in the boiler supply piping just beyond the boiler with no intervening valves. Set manual reset high limit as far above the operating limit setting as possible, but not over 240F. Wire the control to break the line voltage electrical supply to the boiler.

8)Flow control valve (Required under some conditions) – The flow control valve prevents flow through the system unless the circulator is operating. A flow control valve may be necessary

on converted gravity systems to prevent gravity circulation. Flow control valves are also used to prevent “ghost flows” in circulator zone systems through zones that are not calling for heat.

9)Isolation Valves (Optional) – Isolation valves are useful if the boiler must be drained, as they will eliminate having to drain and refill the entire system.
