4.0 Boiler Piping
- Consult heat exchanger for maximum
set point of limit.
- For wiring of the limit, reference Fig. 19,
page 31, using the external manual reset
terminals on the low voltage terminal
strip. This will provide a "hard" lockout
requiring a manual reset of the control.

Backflow Preventer

- Use a backflow preventer valve in the
make-up water supply to the unit as
required by local codes.

Boiler System Piping Applications

BEST PRACTICE
It is recommended on all piping applica-
tions to utilize a primary/secondary pip-
ing arrangement as a means to provide
freeze protection of the boiler, which is an
integral function of the boiler control.
Maintain the minimum boiler flow rate
shown in Graphs 1 through 6 on pages 94
through 96. For other piping arrange-
ments, contact ACV-Triangle Tube
Technical Support or consult other
approved/recognized design arrange-
ments.
BEST PRACTICE
On piping applications utilizing a single
zone or other recognized piping design
arrangements, it is recommended that the
installer uses flow/check valves with
weighted seats at or near the appliance to
prevent gravity circulation.
4.8 Expansion Tank and Makeup
Water
Ensure the expansion tank is properly sized for
the boiler volume (3 gallons [12 L] for the
PRESTIGE Solo 80/110, 5 gallons [19 L] for
the PRESTIGE Solo 155/175/250, 7 gallons
[26 L] for PRESTIGE Solo 299/399) and the
system volume and temperature.
CAUTION
Undersized expansion tanks will cause
system water to be lost through the pres-
sure relief valve and cause additional
makeup water to be added to the system.
Eventual boiler heat exchanger failure
can result due to this excessive makeup
water addition.
The expansion tank must be located as shown
in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 on page 18 when using a
primary/secondary piping arrangement or as
per recognized design methods. Refer to the
expansion tank manufacturer instructions for
additional installation details.
Connect the expansion tank to an air separator
only if the air separator is located on the suc-
tion side (inlet) of the system circulator.
Always locate and install the system fill con-
nection at the same location as the expansion
tank connection to the system.

4.8.1 Diaphragm Expansion Tank

Always install an automatic air vent on the top
of the air separator to remove residual air from
the system.

4.8.2 Closed-Type Expansion Tank

It is recommended to pitch any horizontal piping
upwards toward the expansion tank 1 inch per 5
feet of piping. Use 3/4" piping for the expansion
tank to allow air within the system to rise.
CAUTION
DO NOT install automatic air vents on a
closed-type expansion tank system. Air
must remain in the system and be
returned to the expansion tank to pro-
vide an air cushion. An automatic air
vent would cause air to be vented from
the system resulting in a water-logged
expansion tank.
