SECTION F: DOMESTIC HOT WATER PIPING
When designing the water piping system for domestic water applications, water hardness should be considered. Table
TABLE
DOMESTIC WATER HEATER
FLOWRATE REQUIREMENTS
* Must use optional Cupronickel tubes.
T = Temperature Rise, Degree F | P = Pressure Drop Ft. thru heat exchanger |
GPM = Gallons/Minute, Flow Rate | SHL = System Head Loss, Ft. |
MPS = Minimum Pipe Size, NPT |
|
System head loss is based on the heater and tank placed no more than 5 feet apart and 25 feet equivalent length of pipe and fittings.
