the tank and valve. If the tank is replacing a tankless coil in the boiler, disconnect coil plumbing and use the cold inlet pipe and hot water outlet pipes for the water heater. Do not thread a cap or plug into the relief valve or relief valve line under any circumstances! Explosion and property damage, serious D.
F. Potable Expansion Tank A potable hot water expansion tank may be required to offset heated water expansion. If there is a back flow preventer or any other type of no return or check valve in the system a thermal expansion tank IS MANDATORY.

Upsize pipe accordingly if greater flow is required. 2. A thermal expansion tank suitable for potable water must be sized and installed within this piping system between the backflow preventer and the cold water inlet.

Figure 13 - Steam Boiler Figure 14 - Live Steam Installation NOTE: On Steam Boiler Applications, the indirect heat exchanger supply and return connections must be below the water line from the boiler connection. The internal flow check or spring check must be used to avoid thermal siphoning from the connected boiler. A basket strainer should also be used to avoid sludge and sediment getting into the pump or heat exchanger.
Part 4 - Heater Control and Wiring A. Control Install control element into the control well and tighten into place with screws on the control body. Thermal conductive paste is recommended. Once the control is operational, it is important to make sure the control is maintaining the desired operating temperature. CAUTION NOTE: DO NOT attempt to remove the control well! The control well is welded to the water heater.
