WARNING
!
Burn and scald hazard. Safety relief valve could
discharge steam or hot water during operation.
Install discharge piping per these instructions.
Be aware when piping the safety relief valve if system
11.
pressure exceeds safe limit of 30 pounds per square
inch, the safety relief valve will automatically lift
open. Lifting of the safety relief valve can discharge
large quantities of steam and hot water, which may
damage the surroundings. Before installing the safety
relief valve read the manufacturer's instructions and
maintenance section of the manual on safety relief
valves.
Installation and sizing of the expansion tank must
12.
consider heating systems total water volume,
temperature, boiler initial fi ll pressure, and system
arrangement. Improperly installed and sized expansion
tank may result in frequent lifting of the safety
relief valve or other heating system problems. For
proper installation, sizing, and maintenance of the
expansion tank follow guidelines established by tank
manufacturer.
Expansion tank performance and life expectancy can
13.
be hindered by overfi lling the boiler. Recommend initial
fi ll pressure of 10-12 psig. For higher fi ll pressures
expansion tank's air charge will need to be increased to
match fi ll pressure. Consult manufacturer's guidelines
for sizing and selection.
Purging the heating system of air and gases when
14.
fi rst putting boiler into service is critical for proper
circulation and quiet performance. Once air and gases
are purged, for boiler installations using fl oat type
vents, air vents should be closed for normal operation.
If air is heard or noticed by loss of heat, purge system
and open vents for short period of time.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE CRANKCASE DRAININGS
OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.
