Note: The boiler supply and return connections, the return/ 
drain tee and the supply/gauge tee supplied with the 
boiler are 1¼” NPT. One of the circulator flanges sup-
plied with the boiler is 1¼”. The other circulator flange 
is the size of the recommended system piping shown 
above.
General piping information
)F
HIGH
 is needed. Install control in supply piping 
between boiler and isolation valve. Set second control to minimum 20°F 
above setpoint of first control. Maximum allowable setpoint is 240°F.  See 
page 34 or 38, for wiring.
LOW
 is required when boiler is installed above ra-
diation level or by certain state or local codes or insurance companies. Use 
low water cutoff designed for water installations. Electrode probe-type is 
recommended. Purchase and install in tee in supply piping above boiler.
Use
 in cold water supply as required by local 
codes.
Pressure/temperature gauge
Install pressure/temperature gauge in tee on supply piping (as shown in 
drawing on page 3).

Circulator
The circulator is shipped loose (wiring pre-attached to 
boiler) to allow you to locate it either in the return or 
supply piping, as desired. See page 3 for a typical instal-
lation. Pipe the expansion tank to the suction side of the 
circulator whenever possible. Install an air separator in
