Expansion Tank And Make-Up Water
• Determine required system fill pressure, design 
temperature, and water content. 
• Boiler contains 2.6 gallons (U.S.). Size expansion tank 
accordingly. Consult expansion tank manufacturer for 
proper sizing information. 
• Connect properly sized expansion tank (not furnished) 
See Figure 3, for diaphragm type expansion tank. 
For diaphragm type expansion tanks, adjust tank air 
pressure to match system fill pressure. 
• Install air vent (furnished) as shown for diaphragm type 
expansion tank system only. 
• Install make-up water connections as shown and per 
local codes. 
• If pressure reducing valve is used, adjust to match 
system fill pressure. Verify clean water supply is 
available when  connecting cold make-up water supply 
to boiler. When water supply is from well or pump, 
install sand strainer at pump.
 WARNING
Burn and scald hazard.  Safety relief valve could       
discharge steam or hot water during operation.       
Install discharge piping per these instructions.

Safety Relief Valve / Temperature Pressure Gauge
Boiler is furnished with safety relief valve and temperature 
pressure gauge.
• Install safety relief valve using pipe fittings provided 
with boiler. Figure 2.
• Install safety relief valve with spindle in vertical position.
• Do not install shutoff valve between boiler and safety 
relief valve.
• Install discharge piping from safety relief valve. 
A.  Use ¾” or larger pipe.
B.  Use pipe suitable for temperatures of 375°F 
(191°C) or greater.
C.  Individual boiler discharge piping shall be 
independent of other discharge piping.
D.  Size and arrange discharge piping to avoid 
reducing safety relief valve relieving capacity below 
minimum relief valve capacity stated on rating 
plate.
E.  Run pipe as short and straight as possible to 
location protecting user from scalding and properly 
drain piping.
F.  Install union, if used, close to safety relief valve 
outlet.
G.  Install elbow(s), if used, close to safety relief valve 
outlet and downstream of union (if used).
H.  Terminate pipe with plain end (not threaded).
