Install water piping

Use two wrenches when tightening water piping at
, using one of the wrenches to prevent the boiler
boiler
interior piping from turning. Failure to support the boiler
piping connections to prevent them from turning could
cause damage to boiler components.
The cast iron heat exchanger return temperature must be
kept at or above 140°F during all times of operation to
prevent possibility of corrosion due to condensation. This
is done automatically, using the boiler's internal circula-
tors. DO NOT remove or tamper with these circulators.
Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
General piping information
Minimum pipe size for boiler loop piping
Provide boiler loop piping no smaller than listed

Additional limit controls
Following standard industry practices, if installation is to comply with
ASME or Canadian requirements, an additional
may be needed. Consult local requirements for other codes/
limit
standards to determine if needed. Wire as shown in
• Install a manual reset high temperature limit between the boiler
and the isolation valve.
• Wire the manual reset limit in series with the boiler limit control.
• Set the manual reset limit control at least 20°F above the boiler
limit control setting (maximum setting 220°F).
Low water cut-off
A low water cutoff device
radiation level or by certain state or local codes or insurance compa-
nies. The boiler has a pre-installed water temperature/LWCO sensor.
If boiler is connected to heating coils located in air han-
dling units where they can be exposed to refrigerated
air, use flow control valves or other automatic means to
prevent gravity circulation during cooling cycle. Circu-
lation of cold water through the boiler could result in
damage to the heat exchanger, causing possible severe
personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Backflow preventer
Where required by codes, install a
water fill line, as shown in suggested piping diagrams on following
pages. Install a check valve if a backflow preventer is not installed.

Air separator
Install an air separator
manual. For single-zone systems, install the air separator
in the return piping as shown in Figure 14, page 14. This
allows mounting the automatic air vent and expansion tank
off of the separator.
Install relief valve
1. Install relief valve ONLY as shown in Figure 12.
2. Connect discharge piping to safe disposal location,
following guidelines in Figure 13, page 13.

1 Jacket plug for unused relief valve jacket opening.
2 Jackets are provided with two relief valve open-
ings because each jacket size is used for two boiler
sizes. Cover the unused opening with the plug
provided.
