FIGURE 7.2: INDIRECT WATER HEATER BOILER SIDE PIPING FIGURE 7.3: BOILER BYPASS PIPING Piping for Special Situations Certain types of heating systems have additional requirements. Some of the more common variations follow: 1) Indirect Water Heaters - Figure 7.2 shows typical indirect water heater piping. Boiler piping is the same as for any two- zone system.
Page 20
3) Low Temperature Systems - Some systems, such as radiant tubing systems, require the system water temperature to be limited to a value below the temperature of the water leaving the TWZ. These systems also typically have return temperatures well below the 120°F minimum. Figure 7.4 illustrates the use of a heat exchanger to connect the TWZ boiler to this type of system.
VIII Tankless Heater Piping If the TWZ is installed with an optional tankless heater, pipe the heater as shown in Figure 8.1. The components in this system and their functions are as follows: 1) Mixing Valve (Required) - During the heating season, the water exiting the tankless heater may be 180 degrees or more. The mixing valve blends hot water leaving the tankless heater with cold water so as to maintain the hot water supplied to the fixtures at a fixed temperature.
FIGURE 8.1: TANKLESS HEATER PIPING IX Fuel Line Piping WARNING • Under no circumstances can copper with sweat style connectors be used. • Do not use compression fittings. • Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. •...

FIGURE 9.1: ONE-PIPE GRAVITY SYSTEM Depending on the location of the fuel oil storage tank in relation to an oil burner, there are four types of oil piping systems generally being used: a) ONE-PIPE GRAVITY SYSTEM - used when a fuel oil storage tank is positioned above an oil burner fuel pump. See Figure 9.1.
Page 24
7) Attach required piping between burner fuel pump and fuel oil storage tank. Install one fuel shut-off valve near the storage tank and second fuel shut-off valve near the oil burner fuel pump. Use heavy wall copper tubing in a continuous run. On two-pipe systems, the return line should terminate 3”...
FIGURE 9.4: TWO-PIPE LIFT SYSTEM X Wiring WARNING • All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70). • Disconnect electrical power to the boiler and heating system before servicing. Positively assure that no voltage is present.

XII Operation A. General Information This boiler uses the Hydrolevel Hydrostat® model 3250-Plus control to provide control of boiler water temperature, as well as to manage demands for up to two circulator zones. In addition, this control also provides protection against low water conditions. The 3250-Plus is used on both boilers equipped with tankless heaters and those without.
Page 33
B. Setting the Control NOTE: Settings can be checked using the TEST/SETTINGS button located on the top right of the control. See page 33 for details. 1) Setting the High Limit - The high limit is factory set at 190°F. To adjust, turn the HI TEMP dial A until the desired setting is displayed.
Page 34
NOTE: DHW Priority: During a call from an indirect water heater, the control will de-energize the circulator contacts (C1/C2) to heat only the indirect tank ensuring an adequate supply of domestic hot water. The control will re-energize the circulator when the indirect tank is satisfied or if the boiler temperature reaches 170°F. If the indirect call continues for 45 minutes, the control will override the priority function energizing the circulator to provide space heating.
Page 35
5) Circulator Hold Off (Enhanced Condensing Protection) - To reduce the potential for condensing, on a call for heat the control will allow the boiler to heat to 125°F prior to energizing the circulator. Once energized, the circulator will remain on for the duration of the heating call unless the boiler temperature drops below 115°F.
