Boiler Operating Requirements:
• Minimum Return Water Temperature = 80°f
• Maximum Delta T = 80°f
• Minimum supply Water Temperature = 130°f
NOTES:
1. All piping is schedule 40.
2. Pipe sizes listed are based on a 20° F
or 40° F Delta T (temperature rise
across the boiler).
Select one to match application.
3. When specified piping size is less than
4”, install appropriate size reducer
directly onto boiler supply and return
manifolds.
4. Drain valve - ball valve preferable,
gate valve acceptable alternative
(supplied by others). Minimum valve
size per ASME code is 3/4” NPT.
5. Swing joints may be piped over the top
of the boiler if space is limited.
6. System design must accommodate the
above Boiler Operating Requirements.
7. Diaphragm expansion tank shown, but
other types of air elimination systems
may be used.
