1. Assemble the TC-U (the upper Test-N-Check

valve, with the vacuum breaker) into the upper
equalizing line in place of the cross described
in the low water cut-off installation instructions.
NOTE: The vacuum breaker must be on the top
and the long leg must face the boiler. NOTE:
Make sure low water cut-off position is located
in accordance with the boiler manufacturer’s
recommended cut-off level.

2. Assemble the TC-L (the lower Test-N-Check

valve, without the vacuum breaker) into the
lower equalizing line in place of the cross
described in the low water cut-off installation
instructions. NOTE: The brass cap must be
located above the center of the lower equalizing
line, and the long leg must face the boiler.

3. Assemble the blow-down valve into the bottom

port of the TC-L.

4. Assemble 1” NPT pipe plugs into the remaining

open port in both the TC-U and TC-L.

5. Complete the installation as described in the

refill the system with water, turn on all electrical
supply and bring system to operating condi-
tions. After system reaches operating pressure,
inspect to make sure no leaks exist at the
threaded connections. Test valves by opening
blow-down valve while burner is on, to make
sure valves operate correctly and low water cut-
off shuts burner off.
