INSTALLING CONTROLS AND
ACCESSORIES ON BOILER UNITS
Notes: Jacket must be installed on boiler units prior to installation
of trim.
I. STEAM BOILER TRIM, see page 2 for tapping locations, and
figure 4 for illustration of steam boiler.
A. Steam pressure gauge and pressure cut out, install in tapping
no. 4, figure 4.
B. Gauge glass set use tapping no. 12.
C. Pop safety valve use tapping no. 3, piped full size to boiler; or
pipe full size into a valveless steam header.
D. Combustion safety control
II. WATER BOILER TRIM, see page 2 for tapping locations, and fig
ures 1 and 2 for illustration of water boiler.
A. Pressure temperature altitude gauge
B. High temperature limit
C. Operating control (if used)
D. Water relief valve use tapping no. 3, piped full size
to boiler.
E. Automatic air vent or compression tank tappings
install in tapping no. 2.
F. Combustion safety control
G. A low water cut off may be required by local codes. If the boiler
is installed above the radiation level, a low water cut off device
must be installed in all instances. Do not install an isolation
valve between the boiler and the low water cut off.
Escape pipes, drain pipes from relief valves, blow down
valves and low water cut-offs must be piped to safe place
for discharge according to local codes or the authority
having jurisdiction..
PIPING
IMPORTANT: Boilers are to be used with closed system. Any
application that uses steam or water from system, causes the
introduction of a frequent supply of fresh water into the boiler. This
will cause damage to the boiler. Use of heat exchangers will prevent
this damage.

PIPING FOR STEAM BOILERS

Provide Header and Hartford Loop as suggested. See figures 4
and 5. Local codes apply.

CLEANING PIPING SYSTEM

A. To clean piping system, open all valves at the heating elements.
After getting up a good head of steam, shut the boiler down and
allow the condensate to return to the boiler. The condensate will

carry the oil film with it. Again blow off the boiler. On extremely
fouled systems, it may require several visits over a few days to clean
the system.
B. When steam only (no water) is released through the hand valve, the
boiler will not surge or flood.
C. See page 10 for complete blowing off instructions.
PIPING FOR WATER UNITS
NOTE: On knocked down boiler only, jacket may be installed after
supply and return piping connection, but must be installed prior to
adding trim.
I. CIRCULATING SYSTEM
A. FORCED CIRCULATION hot water heating system: Use the
top tapping as supply tapping, and use the front and/or rear
bottom tappings for the return.
B. A FLOW CONTROL VALVE (See figure 6) will prevent gravity
circulation and usually is required when tankless heater is
installed.
II. AIR CONTROL SYSTEMS
A. DIAPHRAGM TYPE COMPRESSION TANKS are used to con
trol system pressure in an AIR ELIMINATING SYSTEM:
an automatic air vent is used to REMOVE air from the system
water. See figure 6. If system pressure needs further control, add
an additional tank or install a larger capacity tank. The automatic
air vent should be installed in the top of the boiler, as in figure 6.
B. CONVENTIONAL COMPRESSION TANKS (non diaphragm type)
are used to control system pressure in an AIR COLLECTING
SYSTEM. Within the system, after initial start up and venting, air
is collected in the tank and acts in contact with the water to con
trol pressure. Air is not vented from this system.
If system pressure needs further control, add another tank in
parallel with the original tank or install a large capacity tank.
Locate the tank at the inlet end of the pump near the boiler.
