• Install discharge piping from safety relief valve. See
figure 5-2.
• Use ¾" or larger pipe.
• Use pipe suitable for temperatures of 375°F (191°C)
or greater.
• Individual boiler discharge piping shall be independent
of other discharge piping.
• Size and arrange discharge piping to avoid reducing
safety relief valve relieving capacity below minimum
relief valve capacity stated on rating plate.
• Run pipe as short and straight as possible to location
protecting user from scalding and properly drain
piping.
• Install union, if used, close to safety relief valve outlet.
• Install elbow(s), if used, close to safety relief valve
outlet and downstream of union (if used).
• Terminate pipe with plain end (not threaded).
5.4 Trim Piping
• Temperature - Pressure Gauge. Install temperature
pressure gauge using nipple, tee and bushing provided
with boiler. See figure 5-3.
• Drain Valve. Install drain valve using nipple, tee and
bushing provided with boiler. See figure 5-3.
5.5 System Piping
• See Table 3 for basic system piping configurations.
• Systems with automatic fill valves require back flow
prevention device.
• Single boiler system. See figures 5-4, 5-5, 5-6, 5-7A, & B
for general guidance. Additional considerations:
• Boiler control is designed for single central heating
pump. Installer responsible for integration of
multiple central heating pumps.
• Boiler control allows domestic hot water
prioritization. Function could be lost if central
heating pump not directly connected to control
system.
• Multiple boiler system. See figure 5-8A, B & C for general
guidance. Additional considerations:
• Control system requires equivalent water
temperatures entering each boiler to properly
sequence and adjust system supply temperature.
• Install multi boiler sensor kit. See "Parts, Kits &
Optional Accessories" manual for part number.
• Heating system with existing primary loop, close internal
primary loop ball valve.
• Heating system without existing primary loop, leave internal
primary loop ball valve open to use internal primary loop.
