difference between the inlet and outlet water when the
boiler is firing at full rate). For some boilers, the Delta
T is more than 20°F (22°-33°F) at the recommended
flow rates.
Feedwater Regulator
We recommend that a feedwater regulator be installed
and set at 12 PSIG minimum pressure. Install a check
valve or back flow device upstream of the regulator,
with a manual shut-off valve. Leave the valve open.
Piping—Heating Boilers
We recommend that all high points be vented and that
purge valves and a bypass valve be installed. A boiler
installed above radiation level must be provided with a
low water cut-off device. The boiler, when used in con-
junction with a refrigeration system, must be installed
so that the chilled medium is piped in parallel with the
boiler with appropriate valves to prevent the chilled
medium from entering the boiler.
Recommended Purge Manifolds for
Typical Hydronic System Hookups
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating boiler
connected to heating coils located in air handling units
where they may be exposed to refrigerated air circulat-
ing, must be equipped with flow control valves or other
automatic means to prevent gravity circulation of the
boiler water during the cooling cycle.
Temperature & Pressure Gauge
The temperature & pressure gauge is standard equip-
ment on all hydronic heating and hot water supply
boilers. All temperature & pressure gauges are factory
mounted in the in/out header except for residential
boilers, Models 133 and 181-401. On these models
the temperature & pressure gauge is shipped loose for
field installation, and located in the outlet water con-
nection. All fittings required to mount gauge to piping
system are supplied by others.
