Copper supply and return piping must NOT be installed di-
rectly into aluminum boiler section casings due to galvanic
corrosion between dissimilar metals. Iron or steel bushings
or pipe nipples should be used between copper system pip-
ing and boiler to make nal connection to boiler. Also, the
use of dielectric unions is acceptable. e packaged boiler is
furnished with iron piping in the front boiler section for the
supply and return connections.
When the installation of the boiler is for a new heating system,
rst install all of the radiation units (panels, radiators, base-
board, or tubing) and the supply and return mains. Aer all
heating system piping and components have been installed,
make nal connection of the system piping to the boiler. A hot
water boiler installed above radiation level must be equipped
with a low water cut o device. A periodic inspection is neces-
sary us is ushing of oat type devices, per low water cut o
manufacturers specic instructions.
e packaged boiler unit is set up to receive 1
¼” NPT supply
and return piping from top access. e boiler unit can also
be piped from the le side by turning the supply elbow, and
from the rear of the unit by removing plugs in the rear boiler
section.
NOTE: e circulator pump and isolation valves are fur-
nished within a carton inside the boiler cabinet and can be
installed at the installer preferred location.
