7. The water heater is equipped with a temperature and pressure relief valve(s) rated for the input. Pipe the relief valve discharge to a suitable open drain. The drain pipe may not be smaller than the relief valve opening and must be secured to prevent it from lifting out of the drain under discharge pressure.
® QUICKDRAW Steam Heater IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE It takes only 5 seconds of skin contact with 140°F water to cause a second degree burn! You must protect against high water temperatures at all lavatories, tubs, showers and other points of hot water contact. Accidental scalding from high water temperatures is a greater risk in some types of installations.
RELIEF VALVE PIPING The water heater is supplied with a pressure and temperature relief valve, sized in accordance with ASME requirements. Each relief valve should be piped to a suitable floor drain. No reducing coupling or other restriction can be installed in the discharge line.
Drain to atmosphere – (would require constant make-up of boiler water). Inadequate drainage of condensate can adversely affect heat transfer and limit the performance of the water heater. Please note damage to the water heater attributed to poor condensate drainage is not covered in the product warranty.
QUICKDRAW WARNING: Failure to operate the heat exchanger within the design pressure and temperature on the nameplate may result in damage to the heat exchanger and potential injury to adjacent personnel. 5. Open nearby hot water tap to maintain a flow of water through the tank when starting up units. Regulate flow of water through the tank to allow the steam valve(s) to cycle off and on.
