Boiler/Plumbing Kit Placement; Installation Requirements - Electro Industries EB-MX-10 Installation & Operating Instructions Manual

BOILER/PLUMBING KIT PLACEMENT

This model series is wall hung and the vessel must be vertical, drawing BX505.
The plumbing kit items are located adjacent to the boiler housing itself as shown on drawing BX501 or
BX505.
For future servicing, the unit itself must be installed 20" or more above the floor, the elements are
screwed in from the bottom.
INFORMATION/WATER FLOW CALCULATIONS
Water flow, GPM, can easily be calculated if the temperature rise across the electric boiler can be
measured.
The formula below can only be used when the temperature rise is stable and the boiler is not hi-limiting.
In other words, verify constant current draw and stable outlet temperatures for at least 15 minutes.
Volts x Amps x 3.4
GPM =
500 x Temp. rise
