Hydronic piping
System water piping methods
The Knight wall mount is designed to function in a closed 
loop pressurized system not less than 12 psi.   A temperature 
and pressure gauge is included to monitor system pressure 
and outlet temperature and should be located on the boiler 
outlet.
It is important to note that the boiler has a minimal 
amount of pressure drop and must be figured in when 
sizing the circulators.  Each boiler installation must have 
an air elimination device, which will remove air from 
the system.  Install the boiler so the gas ignition system 
components are protected from water (dripping, spraying, 
etc.) during appliance operation for basic service of circulator 
replacement, valves, and others.  
Observe  a  minimum  of  a  1/4  inch  clearance  around  all                
un-insulated hot water pipes when openings around the pipes 
are not protected by non-combustible materials.  
Low water cutoff device
On a boiler installed above radiation level, some states and 
local codes require a low water cutoff device at the time of 
installation.  
Chilled water system
If the boiler supplies hot water to heating coils in air handler 
units, flow control valves or other devices must be installed to 
prevent gravity circulation of heater water in the coils during 
the cooling cycle.  A chilled water medium must be piped in 
parallel with the heater.  
Freeze protection
Freeze protection for new or existing systems must use glycol 
that is specially formulated for this purpose.  This includes 
inhibitors, which prevent the glycol from attacking the 
metallic system components.  Make certain to check that 
the system fluid is correct for the glycol concentration and 
inhibitor level.  The system should be tested at least once 
a year and as recommended by the producer of the glycol 
solution.  Allowance should be made for the expansion of the 
glycol solution in the system piping.  
General piping information
Basic steps are listed below along with illustrations on the 
following pages (FIG.’s 6-3 through 6-12), which will guide 
you through the installation of the Knight wall mount boiler 
(reference FIG.’s 6-1A and 6-1B).
1.  Connect the system return marked “Inlet”.  
2.  Connect the system supply marked “Outlet”.  
3.  Install purge and balance valve or shutoff valve and drain 
on system return to purge air out of each zone.
4.  Install a backflow preventer on the cold feed make-up water 
line.
5.  Install a pressure reducing valve on the cold feed make-
up water line, (15 psi nominal).  Check temperature and 
pressure gauge (shipped separately), which should read a 
minimum pressure of 12 psi.
6.  Install a circulator as shown on the piping diagrams in this 
section.  Make sure the circulator is properly sized for the 
system and friction loss.
7.  Install an expansion tank on the system supply.  Consult the 
tank manufacturer’s instruction for specific information 
relating to tank installation.  Size the expansion tank for the 
required system volume and capacity.
8.  Install an air elimination device on the system supply.
9.  Install a drain valve at the lowest point of the system.     
10. This appliance is supplied with a relief valve sized in 
accordance with ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 
Section IV (“Heating Boilers”).  The safety relief valve is 
installed at the factory located on the left-hand side of the 
boiler.  Pipe the discharge of the safety relief valve to prevent 
injury in the event of pressure relief.  Pipe the discharge to a 
drain.  Provide piping that is the same size as the safety relief 
valve outlet.  Never block the outlet of the safety relief valve.
See the *piping illustrations included in this section, FIG.’s 6-3 
through 6-10 for suggested guidelines in piping the Knight wall 
mount boiler with either zone valves or circulator pumps.
*Please note that these illustrations are 
meant to show system piping concept only, 
the installer is responsible for all equipment 
and detailing required by local codes.
Use only inhibited propylene glycol 
solutions, which are specifically formulated 
for hydronic systems.  Ethylene glycol is 
toxic and can attack gaskets and seals used 
in hydronic systems.
