Use and Care Manual

36
NOTES:
1. This drawing is meant to show system piping concept only. Installer is responsible for all equipment and detailing required by local codes.
2. All closely spaced tees shall be within 4 pipe diameters center to center spacing.
3. A minimum of 6 pipe diameters of straight pipe shall be installed upstream and downstream of all closely spaced tees.
4. The minimum pipe size of DHW piping should be ¾" diameter and CH piping should be 1" in diameter.
5. Circulators are shown with isolation anges. The alternative is standard anges with full port ball valves. Purge valves can be used with circulator
anges as an alternative.
6. Piping shown is Primary/Secondary. System ow (secondary loop) must be greater than the appliance’s primary loop ow.
7. Install a minimum of 12 diameters of straight pipe upstream of all circulators.
8. VERY IMPORTANT – Minimum ow rates outlined in this manual must be maintained through the heat exchanger to minimize short cycling.
9. Each heating zone of a pump-based system has its own circulator which turns on when a zone thermostat calls for heat.
10. Unit is equipped with built-in primary pump for the heating loop. This pump is sized to ensure proper flow rate through the appliance heat
exchanger and related piping. On long pipe runs, it is recommended to keep the pump at maximum speed (setting 3). DO NOT lower it from the
factory default.
11. NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL a ow check or a pump with ow check on the return line of the primary loop going to the appliance. This will isolate
the appliance from the expansion tank, causing pressure to build up in the unit and the Pressure Relief Valve to discharge.
