Flow switch,reliefvalve and temperature and pressure gauge installation

Basic steps are listed below to guide you through the installation of the flow switch, relief valve, and temperature and pressure gauge provided with the unit.

1.For Models 400 - 501 install the close nipple on the outlet connection of the heat exchanger. Install the tee with the 3/4 inch fitting positioned vertically and on the top as shown in FIG. 6-1. For Models 601 - 801 install the tee directly to the outlet connection of the heat exchanger with the 3/4 inch fitting positioned vertically and on the top (see FIG. 6-2).

2.For Models 701 - 801 install the 3/4 inch close nipple in the tee. Install the relief valve on the 3/4 inch close nipple (FIG. 6-2). For Models 400 - 601 install the relief valve directly into the 3/4 inch fitting on the tee (FIG. 6-1).

3.Install the close nipple on the downstream side of the relief valve tee (FIG. 6-1).

4.Install the tee with the 1 inch fitting positioned vertically and on the top (FIG. 6-1).

5.Attach paddle #3 to the flow switch per the manufacturer’s instructions.

6.Install the assembled flow switch into the 1 inch fitting of the tee installed in Step 4 (see FIG. 6-1).

7.Install a field provided close nipple on the downstream side of the flow switch (see FIG.’s 6-1 and 6-2).

8.Install a field provided tee with the gauge fitting positioned vertically and on the top (FIG.’s 6-1 and 6-2)

9.Install the temperature and pressure gauge provided with the unit into the top fitting of the tee (a bushing may be necessary) installed in Step 8 (FIG.’s 6-1 and 6-2).
