PIPING
8. Install an Air Elimination Device on the system supply.
9. Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system. Note: The Munchkin can not be drained
completely of water without purging the unit with an air pressure 15 PSI.
10. The Safety Relief Valve is installed at the factory located on the right hand side of Munchkin.
Pipe the discharge of safety relief valve to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Pipe
the discharge to a drain. Provide piping that is the same size as the safety relief valve outlet.
Never block the outlet of safety relief valve.
11. In compliance with ASME CSD-1, a low water cut-off device should be properly connected in
the field, both electrically and mechanically.
See the piping illustrations included in this section, Figs. 5-3 to 5-11 for suggested guidelines in
piping the Munchkin heater with either zone valves or circulator pumps.
*Please note that these illustrations are meant to show system piping concept only, the installer
is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by local codes.
