Near Boiler Piping

• When boiler installation is for new heating system,
install all of radiation units (panels, radiators,
baseboard, or tubing) and supply and return mains.
• After all heating system piping and components
have been installed, make final connection of system
piping to boiler. Hot water boiler installed above
radiation level, or as required by the Authority having
jurisdiction, must be equipped with low water cut off
device.
• Periodic inspection is necessary for flushing of float
type devices, per low water cut off manufacturers
specific instructions.
Clean System First
Before connecting boiler to heating system, clean and flush
system thoroughly. Verify system is free of sediment, flux
and any residual boiler water additives.
Systems having antifreeze not recommended must be
completely flushed to insure no old antifreeze remains.
In older systems obviously discolored, murky or dirty
water; or pH reading outside acceptable range (between
7.0 and 8.0) are indications the system should be cleaned
or treated. Thoroughly flush system with clean water to
remove any sediment or contaminants. Sludge and iron
oxide deposits can cause rapid breakdown of inhibitors.
Flushing with clean water. If chemical cleaners are used,
use only those recommended for use with aluminum
boilers. Follow chemical cleaner manufacturer's instructions
DO NOT
completely. mix different manufacturer's
products.
