HEATING SYSTEM PIPING
NOTE: The boiler jacket must be installed before
connecting the heating system piping and controls.
All heating system piping must be installed by a qualified
technician in accordance with the latest revision of the
ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section
IV, and ANSI/ASME CSD-1, Standard for Controls and
Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers. All
applicable local codes and ordinances must also be
followed. A minimum clearance of 1" must be maintained
between heating system pipes and all combustible
construction.
CAUTION: Improper piping of this boiler can cause
flooding and extensive property damage!
Ensure that the boiler is level from front to back and from
side to side. Use metal shims to level the boiler. NEVER
use wood, plastic or other combustible materials as
shims.
If a boiler is installed above any radiation elements it
must be fitted with a low water cutoff device.
WATER BOILER PIPING CONNECTIONS
The supply and return connections should be sized to
suit the system, see Figure 94 & Table 4. Do not pipe
the supply from the bottom port or the return to the top
port, the boiler will not work properly.
