g. If boiler has been ordered with 3/8” try-valve
tapping, install try-cock.
h. Install “Lowest Permissible Water Level Plate”
and “Frequent Water Addition – Caution Label” on
upper left end jacket panel.

a. Temperature Gauge is to be installed with ½”
nippleand½”x¼”reducingcouplingin½”
tapping provided in upper corner of End Section
using wrench applied to square shank on back of
gauge. DO NOT APPLY PRESSURE ON GAUGE
GLASS.
b. Install Temperature Limit Controls as follows:

to¾”andinstallTemperatureLimitControl
furnished following instructions supplied with
control. On boilers without Built-in Tankless
Heater, install second temperature limit control (not
furnished) in Tapped Heater Opening Cover Plate.
On boilers with Built-in Tankless Heater, install

tapping in Second Heater when supplied.
c. On boilers equipped for forced circulation hot
water heating without domestic hot water, a reverse
acting circulator control may be needed to prevent
condensationofuegasesduringperiodsoflow
boiler water temperature. This control can be
installed in the Tapped Heater Opening Cover Plate.
d. TANKLESS HEATER PERFORMANCE
Tankless heater ratings in Series 5B boilers are
basedoncontinuousdraw,temperatureriseof100ºF
FIG. 26

(40-140ºF)andboilerwatertemperatureof200ºF.
Some of the items affecting the coil performance are
as follows:
(1)
FLOWREGULATION–Ifowthroughthe
heater is greater than its rating, the supply of
adequate hot water may not be able to keep
up with the demand. For this reason a FLOW
REGULATOR matching the heater rating should
be installed in the cold water line to the heater.
(2) FLUSHING OF HEATER - All water contains
some sediment which settles on the inside of
the coil. Consequently, the heater should be
periodically back-washed. This is accomplished
by installing hose bibs as illustrated and
allowing water at city pressure to run into hose
bib A, through the heater, and out hose bib B
until the discharge is clear. The tees in which
the hose bibs are located should be the same size
as heater connections to minimize pressure drop.
(3) HARD WATER – This is applicable to some
city water and particularly to well water. This
should not be a deterrent but precautions are
necessary. A water analysis is necessary and an
appropriate water softener installed. This is not
onlybenecialtotheheaterbuttopipingand
xturesplusthemanyotherbenetsderived
from soft water.
NOTE: A hot water boiler installed above radiation
level must be provided with a low water cut-off
device as part of the installation.

can also be installed in return piping, preferably
in leg of tee that is located in line with return
connection on Boiler.
