point of discharge.

Discharge Line

Safety Relief Valve

WARNING

Burn or Scald Hazard. Discharge line shall be installed to relief valve outlet connection to avoid burns,

scalding, or water damage due to discharge of steam and/or hot water during operation.

Discharge line shall:

• connect to relief valve outlet and piped down to safe point of disposal. Check local codes for maximum

distance from oor or allowable safe point of discharge.

• be of pipe size equal to or greater than that of the relief valve outlet over the entire length of discharge

line;

• have no intervening shutoff valve between safety relief valve and discharge to atmosphere (do not plug or

place any obstruction in discharge line.

• terminate freely to atmosphere where any discharge will be clearly visible and at no risk of freezing;

• allow complete drainage of the valve and the discharge line;

• be independently supported and securely anchored to avoid applied stress on the relief valve;

• be as short and straight as possible;

• terminate with plain end (not threaded);

• be constructed of material suitable for exposure to temperatures of 375° F (191°C); or greater.

Refer to local codes and appropriate ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code for additional installation

requirements.

Hydronic Piping - General

• Install piping in accordance with authority having

jurisdiction.

• Support system piping and safety relief valve discharge

piping.

Special Conditions

• System piping exposed to freezing conditions: Use

inhibited proplyene glycol solutions certied by uid

manufacturer for use with closed water heating system.

Do not use automotive or ethylene glycol.

• Boiler installed above radiation level (or as required by

authority having jurisdiction). Install low water cutoff.

• Boiler used in connection with refrigeration system.

Install piping in parallel with boiler, with appropriate

valves to prevent chilled medium from entering boiler.

See Figure 2, Page 10.

• System piping connected to heating coils located in air

handling unit exposed to refrigerated air circulation.

Install ow control valves or other automatic means to

prevent gravity circulation of boiler water during cooling

cycle.

Safety Relief Valve

WARNING

Burn and scald hazard. Safety relief valve could

discharge steam or hot water during operation.

Install discharge piping per these instructions.

NOTICE

Boiler rated at 100 psig maximum allowable working

pressure. Boiler provided with 30 psig safety relief

valve. Field source safety relief valve for system

pressures greater than 30 psig. Temperature-

pressure gauge provided with boiler is satisfactory

for 30-50 psig operation. Replace temperature-

pressure gauge for system pressure over 50 psig.

Scale on dial must be graduated to not less than 1½

nor more than 3½ time safety relief valve pressure

settings.

• Do not install shutoff valve between boiler and safety

relief valve.

• Systems with automatic ll valves require back ow

prevention device.

• Install discharge piping from safety relief valve. See

Warning, Page 8.

• When boiler is connected to heating system utilizing

multiple zoned circulators, each circulator must be

supplied with ow control valve to prevent gravity

circulation.

• Hot water boilers and system must be lled with water

and maintained to minimum pressure of 12 psi.

• Bypass piping is an option which gives ability to adjust

the supply boiler water temperature to t the system or

condition of installation. This method of piping, however,

is not typically required for baseboard heating systems.

Typical installations where bypass piping is used are as

follows:

A. This method is used to protect boilers from

condensation forming due to low temperature

return water. Generally noticed in large converted

gravity systems or other large water volume

systems. Figures 3 & 4, Page 11.

B. These methods are used to protect systems using

radiant panels and the material they are encased

in from high temperature supply water from the

boiler and protect boiler from condensation.

NOTE#1: When using bypass piping, adjust valves V1 & V2

until desired system temperature is obtained.

NOTE#2: Bypass loop must be same size piping as the

supply and return piping.

• Installation using circulators and zone valves are shown

in Figures 3-8 . For further piping information refer to

AHRI Installation and Piping Guide.

• For zone controls and indirect hot water, refer to

appropriate manufacturer instructions.

• For Low Water Cutoff, see Dimensions page 5 for

minimum height. Use kit number 550009885. Follow

instructions enclosed with the kit.

• For other LWCO's follow their specic manufacturer

instructions.
