III. Before Installing
Before installing this product:
Verify that the planned installation will be in accordance with all local codes. In Massachusetts, the BB100C must 1.
be installed by a licensed Plumber.
When using the BB100C, also verify that: 2.
The domestic water output temperature, and response times shown in Table 2.4 will be acceptable. •
The domestic water hardness is less than 200ppm. If it is greater than 200PPM, do not use the BB100C without •
a water softener.
When installing a BB100I, make sure that the indirect water heater has a pressure drop less than that shown in Table 3.
5.4 at the flow rate shown.
IV. Location and Mounting
Select a location for the Bimini Buddy that is as close as possible to the boiler.
The Bimini Buddy can be located further away from the boiler as long as the maximum piping lengths shown in Tables
5.2, 5.3, or 5.5 are not exceeded. Keep in mind, however, that the response time of the BWC100C to a call for DHW
will increase as the length of piping between the boiler and Bimini Buddy is increased.
If possible install the Bimini Buddy slightly above the boiler so that there are no down turns in the supply piping
between the boiler and the Bimini Buddy (Figure 5.0) so as to facilitate air removal. If this is not possible, install a screw
driver vent in the supply piping (Figure 5.1).
Provide the following clearances for servicing the Bimini Buddy:
Front: 24” •
LH Side: 6” •
RH Side 1” •
Top/Bottom: As needed in order to replace the field supplied air vent and expansion tank. •
These clearances can be reduced, however servicing the Bimini Buddy will become increasingly difficult as they are.
Attach the Bimini Buddy to the wall using at last two suitable fasteners capable of supporting both it and the connected
piping using the obround slots in the top and bottom flanges.
CAUTION
Drywall alone will not adequetly support the Bimini Buddy. Attach to studs or other framing.
