SECTION 2 – INSTALLATION

2.6 SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING

2.6.1 BMK 750 – 1000 Supply and Return Piping
Benchmark 750 and 1000 Boiler utilizes 3" (7.62cm) 150# flanges for the water system supply
and return piping connections. The physical location of the supply and return piping connections
are on the rear of the unit as shown in Figure 2-4a. Refer to Appendix A for dimensional data.
When connecting the hot water outlet and cold water inlet to building piping, first make sure the
mating surfaces are thoroughly clean. AERCO recommends using Loctite ® 7649 to prime the
mating surfaces and then Loctite 567 as pipe dope. Do NOT use Teflon tape.
