GAS-FIRED HEATER Installation Manual

MUNCHKIN CONTENDER PIPING (CONTINUED)

CAUTION

It is highly recommended that you carefully follow the glycol manufacturer’s recommended concentrations, expansion requirements and maintenance recommendations (pH additive breakdown, inhibitor reduction, etc.). You must carefully figure the additional friction loss in the system as well as the reduction in heat transfer co-efficients.

J.ZONING WITH ZONE VALVES

1.Connect heater to system as shown in 1A and 1B in Piping Details when zoning with zone valves. The primary/secondary piping shown ensures the heater loop will have sufficient flow. It also avoids applying the high head of the heater circulator to the zone valves.

2.Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage water heater as shown.

K.ZONING WITH CIRCULATORS

1.Connect heater to system when circulator zoning as shown in 1C and 1D in Piping Details when zoning with circulators. The heater circulator cannot be used for a zone. It must supply only the heater loop.

2.Install a separate circulator for each zone.

3.Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage water heater as shown.

L.MULTIPLE HEATERS

1.Connect multiple heaters as shown in 1E and 1F in Piping Details.

2.All piping shown is reverse return to assure balanced flow through the connected heaters.

3.Each connected heater must have its own circulator pump to assure adequate flow.

4.Connect DHW (domestic hot water) piping to indirect storage water heater as shown.
