NOTES:

1. Optional CWMU & recirculation

line location.

2. Locate the NTV DHW sensor

or remote aquastat well

in lower 1/3 of tank.

3. Back flow preventer may be

required - check local codes.

4. Thermal expansion tank may be

required - check local codes.

5.

Caution: Pump sizing must

be based upon water

hardness at job site.

WARNING: This drawing shows

suggested piping configuration and

valving. Check with local codes and

ordinances for additional requirements.

6B.6 NTV Suggested Pumps

See Table 8 for water flow and head requirements.
Note - The head loss for the piping, fittings, and

accessories must be calculated and added to the

heater head loss to get the total required pump head.

An undersized pump will result in insufficient flow.

The can result in scale buildup and failure of the

heat exchanger.

6B.7 Condensate Drain Trap

A condensate drain trap is included with the

NeoTherm LC and is designed to drain the boiler

of condensate. The vent condensate should be

drained through a drain tee located in the vent line.

This will help prevent excessive condensate from

entering the boiler condensate trap and preventing

the boiler from operating.
Connect a 3/4” PVC pipe between the drain

connection and a floor drain (or condensate pump if

a floor drain is not accessible).
The condensate drain must be installed to prevent

the accumulation of condensate. When a condensate

pump is not used, the tubing must continuously slope

downward toward the drain with no spiraling.
Consult local codes for the disposal method.

Caution

Condensate is mildly acidic (pH=5), and may harm

some floor drains and/or pipes, particularly those

that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe,

and anything that will come in contact with the

condensate can withstand the acidity, or neutralize

the condensate before disposal.

Damage caused by

failure to install a neutralizer kit or to adequately

treat condensate will not be the manufacturer’s

responsibility.
