NEAR BOILER PIPING

Clean the System First

Before connecting boiler to heating system, clean and flush system thoroughly. Verify system is free of sediment, flux and any residual boiler water additives.

Systems having antifreeze not recommended must be completely flushed to insure no old antifreeze remains. In older systems obviously discolored, murky or dirty water; or pH reading outside acceptable range (between

7.0and 8.0) are indications the system should be cleaned or treated. Thoroughly flush system with clean water to remove any sediment or contaminants. Sludge and iron oxide deposits can cause rapid breakdown of inhibitors.

Flushing with clean water. If chemical cleaners are used, use only those recommended for use with aluminum boilers. Follow chemical cleaner manufacturer’s instructions completely.

DO NOT mix different manufacturer’s products.

•When boiler installation is for new heating system, install all of radiation units (panels, radiators, baseboard, or tubing) and supply and return mains.

•After all heating system piping and components have been installed, make final connection of system piping to boiler. A hot water boiler installed above radiation level, or as required by the Authority having jurisdiction, must be equipped with low water cut off device.

•Periodic inspection is necessary for flushing of float type devices, per low water cut off manufacturers specific instructions.

Supply And Return Lines

•Boiler is set up to receive 1 ¼” NPT supply and return piping from top access.

•Boiler may be piped from left side by turning supply elbow.

•Install furnished dielectric unions at boiler supply and return lines prior to making system piping connections

•Do Not install copper supply and return piping directly into aluminum boiler section casings due to galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals.

•Must use provided dielectric unions between copper system piping and boiler to make final connection to boiler.

•Furnished circulator pump can be installed at installer preferred location.
