General
Failure to properly pipe the boiler may result in
improper operation and damage to the boiler or
building.
Steam supply must be on same end as controls.
Return may be from either end.
1. Install the boiler jacket before connecting return piping. (Sup-
ply piping can be connected before or after jacket installation.)
Connect controls after all piping is connected.
2. See Table 7 for recommended pipe sizing.
3. See Figure 5, page 10, for tapping locations.
4. EGH only - install 3/4” system blow-off (drain) valve in lowest
part of return piping close to boiler.
Condensate return —
• Satisfactoryoperationofasteamheatingsystemdepends
on adequate condensate return to boiler to maintain a
steady water level.
• Avoidaddingrawmakeupwater.
• Wherecondensatereturnisnotadequate,installlowwater
cutoff/pump control, condensate receiver and condensate
boiler feed pump. Refer to Table 5, page 16, for sizing.
Connecting to parallel-flow piping
1. See Figure 18 for parallel-flow steam systems.
Connecting to counterflow piping
Whenconnectingtoacounterowsystem,theboilersteamsupply
must connect into the top of the counterflow system header, as
shown in Figure 19, page 18.
