PIPING

All piping connections are 5/8" OD copper tubing

(see Fig.4).

The supply and return piping must be adequately

sized to meet the design water flow requirements as

specified for the specific installation. All chilled water

piping must be insulated to prevent condensation. It

is also recommended that all piping be insulated to

prevent freezing when piping is run in an uncondi-

tioned space.

Coil freeze protection is recommended

for applications where the fan coil is

located in ambient air locations (attics,

crawl spaces, etc.) or within structures

that may be unoccupied during freez-

ing conditions. Consult the factory for

additional information.

Piping Precautions

Flush all piping prior to connection to remove

all debris.

Use wet cotton rags to cool valve bodies when

soldering.

Open all valves (midway for hand valves,

manually open on motorized valves) prior to

soldering.

When soldering to bronze or brass, heat the piping

while in the socket/cup and begin introducing the

solder when the flux boils rapidly. Avoid direct

flame into the solder joint.

Heat can only be applied to the cup of the valve

body for a minimal time before damage occurs

(even with the use of wet rags).

Avoid rapid quenching of solder joints, as this

will produce joints of inferior quality.

Connect all piping per accepted industry

standards and observe all regulations governing

installation of piping systems. When all

connections are complete, the system must be

pressure tested. Repair any solder joint leaks and

gently tighten any leaking valve packing nuts

and piping accessories as required. Hydronic

systems are not designed to hold pressurized air

and should only be tested with water.

When connecting piping or valve

kits to fan coil units, do not bend or

reposition the coil header tubing for

alignment purposes. This could cause

a tubing fracture resulting in a water

leak when water pressure is applied

to the system
