  • Page 24: Water Connections

    Measuring inlet gas pressure 1. Turn off all electric power to the micro boiler if service is to be performed. 2. Turn the manual gas valve located on the outside of the unit clockwise to the off position. 3. Failure to follow these steps could lead to a fi re or explosion, resulting in WARNING personal injury or death.
  • Page 25 Pressure relief valve The micro boiler has a high-temperature shutoff switch built in as a standard safety feature (called a Hi-Limit switch) therefore a “pressure only” relief valve is required. • This unit does not come with an approved pressure relief valve. •...
  • Page 26: Condensate Drain

    Condensate Drain Connections Discharge condensate (acidic water) in accordance with all local codes and common safety practices. WARNING The micro boiler is a high effi ciency condensing micro boiler that produces condensate (acidic water). The acidic condensate generated in the secondary heat exchanger can be neutralized by the Neutral- izer accessory.
  • Page 27: Electrical Connections

    • The condensate drain is at atmospheric pressure (non-pressurized) and therefore must be allowed to drain freely with gravity only. Please ensure that there are no blockages along the condensate drain tube. All portions of the WARNING condensate drain (neutralizer and drain tube) must be at a lower eleva- tion than the micro boiler to prevent condensate water from building up inside the heat exchanger.
  • Page 28: Applications

    APPLICATIONS Space Heating Applications • In order to purge air in water pipes within a closed loop system, an air vent, air separator, and expansion tank should be installed in the system. (Hydro- Shark pre-built space heating panels incorporate all of these features). WARNING •...
