Webstone E-X-P Series Installation Instructions Manual

Webstone® E-X-P ™ Series service valve kits are designed to simplify the installation and
maintenance of tankless water heaters (TWH) or the domestic hot water output of combi
boilers. A variety of models, kits, pressure relief valves (PRV), and accessories are
available to provide solutions for most installation needs.
IMPORTANT: Follow all federal/national, state, and local codes when installing,
testing, or performing work on systems. All parts are covered by a warranty against
manufacturing defects, provided they are installed by a licensed plumber and operated
under normal working conditions. If you have any questions or comments, please
contact us at (800) 225-9529 or visit us on the web at www.webstonevalves.com.
WARNING: Drain valves (if applicable) should remain closed during normal operation.
Do not rely on the drain cap to stop the water from draining. When draining, always
remove drain caps slowly to insure that no pressure exists.
Boiler Hydronic Connections: E-X-P Series service valves may be used for boiler
connections, only when paired with a boiler-specific pressure relief valve with suitable
pressure and BTU specifications (i.e. Webstone Item # H-20733, included in PR3 kits). See
boiler manual for system requirements.
It is recommended that these instructions be stored along with other documents related
to your heating appliance's installation and maintenance.

PRV INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS & MAINTENANCE
WARNING: A suitable pressure relief valve (PRV) is required for all installations, see
heating appliance installation manual for specific system requirements.
The PRV must be installed in Hot Valve
port integrated directly into the heating appliance. Installation must maintain a 3/4"
port size with no shut-off valve or line restriction in-between the appliance and the PRV.
The discharge line from the PRV should pitch downward and terminate 6" above drains,
or per local code height, where discharge will be clearly visible. The discharge end of
the line shall be plain (unthreaded) and a minimum of 3/4" in diameter. The discharge
LET
line material must be suitable for water at least 180°F. The discharge line shall be as
short and straight as possible such that the arrangement does not reduce the relieving
capacity of the pressure relief valve. No valve of any type may be installed in the
discharge line of the pressure relief valve.
It is recommended that the PRV is manually operated once a year. In doing so, it will be
necessary to take precautions with regard to the discharge of potentially scalding hot
A
water under pressure. Ensure discharge has a place to flow. Contact with your body or
COLD VALVE
other property may cause damage or harm.
