2.5 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 2-3.

2.6 PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSTALLATION
An ASME rated Pressure Relief Valve is supplied with each Benchmark Boiler. The pressure
rating for the relief valve must be specified on the sales order. Available pressure ratings range
from 30 psi to 160 psi. The relief valve is installed on the hot water outlet of the boiler as shown
in Figure 2-4. A suitable pipe joint compound should be used on the threaded connections. Any
excess should be wiped off to avoid getting any joint compound into the valve body. The relief
valve must be piped to within 12 inches of the floor to prevent injury in the event of a discharge.
