requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z2231
latest edition or CSA B 149.1 latest edition for natural gas
and propane.
This installation must also conform to the additional require-
ments in this Slant/Fin Instruction Book.
NATURAL GAS-FIRED BOILER LOCATION
Provide a level, solid foundation for the boiler. Location
should be as near as possible to chimney or outside wall so
that the flue pipe from boiler is short and direct. (See page
8 for vent terminal location restrictions.) The location should
also be such that all boiler components are protected from
water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during appliance opera-
tion and service (circulator replacement, control replace-
ment, etc.).
BOILER FOUNDATION
A. Provide a solid, level foundation, capable of supporting
the weight of the boiler filled with water, and extending at
least 51 mm (2") past the jacket on all sides. See
dimensions of boilers, page 2.
B. For installation on non-combustible floors only*.
C. If boiler is to be located over buried conduit containing
electric wires or telephone cables, consult local codes or
the National Board of Fire Underwriters for specific
requirements.
*Installation on combustible flooring allowed only with proper Com-
bustible Floor Kit. Kit part number is printed on boiler rating plate.
In no case may the boiler be installed on carpeting.

WARNING
SPECIAL ATTENTION FOR LIQUEFIED
PETROLEUM(L.P.)
PROPANE GAS-FIRED BOILER INSTALLATIONS
LPG appliances (boilers) shall be installed in
accordance with applicable provisions of NFPA 58
(Liquefied Petroleum Gas Code) latest edition for
installations in US and CAN/CGA B149.1 latest
edition for installations in Canada
Liquefied Petroleum (LP) propane gas is heavier than
air therefore Propane gas can accumulate at floor level.
If you suspect a leak, do not attempt to operate boiler.
A spark or flame from the appliance (boiler) or other
sources may ignite the accumulated propane gas
causing an explosion or fire. It is recommended that
inspections for gas leaks be performed periodically by
a licensed professional and that leak detection devices
be installed as a further safety measure.

VENTING APPLICATION
VSPH Series are sealed combustion type boilers, they may be
installed and vented either as direct vent boiler which all air for
combustion is obtained directly from outside or as non-direct
vent boiler which air for combustion is taken from inside the
boiler room.
VSPH boilers must be vented by proper 3" diameter. Stainless
Steel venting system (see “vent material” on this page)
through the roof or sidewall.
BOILER ROOM AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION
An ample supply of air is required for combustion and
ventilation. When buildings are insulated, caulked and
weather-stripped, now or later on, direct openings to outside
may be required and should be provided. If the boiler is not
near an outside wall, air may be ducted to it from outside
wall openings.
Provisions for combustion and ventilation air must be made in
accordance with section 5.3, Air for Combustion and Ventila-
tion, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edi-
tion, or CSA B 149.1 latest edition for natural gas and propane
or applicable provisions of the local building codes. The fol-
lowing recommendation applies to buildings of energy-saving
construction, fully caulked and weatherstripped.
INSTALLATION IN ENCLOSED BOILER ROOM REQUIRES
TWO UNOBSTRUCTED OPENINGS FOR PASSAGE OF AIR
INTO THE BOILER ROOM:
A. NON-DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION
1. Air drawn horizontally from outdoors DIRECTLY
through an outside wall; one louvered opening near the
floor and one louvered opening near the ceiling, each
opening with a minimum FREE air passage area of 550
mm2per kW (1 square inch per 4000 BTUH) of total
appliances’ input.
2. Air drawn horizontally through HORIZONTAL DUCTS;
one opening near the floor and one opening near the ceil-
ing, each opening with a minimum FREE air passage area
of 1100 mm2per kW (1 square inch per 2000 BTUH) of
total appliances’ input.
3. Air drawn VERTICALLY from outdoors; one opening at
the floor and one opening at the ceiling, each opening
with a minimum FREE air passage area of 550 mm2per
kW (1 square inch per 4000 BTUH) of total appliances’
input.
4. Air drawn from inside the building; one opening near
the floor and one opening near the ceiling, each opening
with a minimum FREE air passage area of 2200 mm2per
kW (1 square inch per 1000 BTUH) of total appliances’
input.
IF BOILERS ARE INSTALLED ADJACENT TO OTHER FUEL
BURNING EQUIPMENT, THE AREA OF FREE OPENINGS
MUST BE APPROPRIATELY INCREASED TO ACCOMMO-
DATE THE ADDITIONAL LOAD.
B. DIRECT VENT INSTALLATION
Adequate air supply should be provided to prevent overheat-
ing of the boiler controls and boiler room. Openings for pas-
sage of air into the boiler room for direct-vent installation must
be at least halffof the openings required for the non-direct
vent as mentioned above.
If additional non-direct vent appliances are installed in the
same space and adequate air openings are provided for
them, there are no additional air openings required for the
VSPH boiler.
For both direct and non-direct installation, the following must
be considered:
- Openings must never be reduced or closed. If doors or
windows are used for air supply, they must be locked
open.
- Protect against closure of openings by snow and debris.
Inspect frequently.
- No mechanical draft exhaust or supply fans are to be
used in or near the boiler area.
- Boiler area must never be under negative pressure. The
flow of combustion and ventilating air to the boiler must
not be obstructed.
FLUE GAS VENTING REQUIREMENTS
The Victory VSPH series boiler is a high efficiency, mechani-
cally induced draft boiler and, therefore, requires different
venting arrangements than natural draft, lower efficiency
boilers.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE CAREFULLY
READ AND FOLLOWED IN ORDER TO AVOID ANY HAZ-
ARDOUS CONDITIONS DUE TO IMPROPER INSTALLATION
OF THE AIR INTAKE AND FLUE GAS VENTING SYSTEM.
The vent piping installation MUST be in accordance with these
instructions and with ANSI Z223.1-latest edition NATIONAL
FUEL GAS CODE, Part 7, Venting of Equipment, or CSA B
149.1 latest edition for natural gas and propane. Other local
codes may also apply and must be followed. Where there is a
conflict between these requirements, the more stringent case
shall apply.
The use of a vent damper is NOT permitted on this boiler
series.
VENT MATERIAL
The vent system for direct or non-direct vent installation must
be UL listed single wall 3" diameter AL29-4C* stainless steel
material. The following manufacturers’ systems are approved
for use within a specified minimum and maximum equivalent
vent length for each model. Proper adapter must be used as a
connector between Victory VSPH boilers flue collar and vent-
ing system as shown below:

closely followed to insure proper sealing. All vent connec-
tions must be liquid and pressure tight. Flue vent system
CANNOT be cut to length. Consult manufacturer’s instruc-
tions. For Heat-Fab system, use slip joint connector (Part No.
7324-GC) to adjust pipe lengths dimensions.
DO NOT use plastic or galvanized flue pipe.
HEAT-FAB SAF-T STAINLESS STEEL (AL 29-4C) VENTING MATERIALS
AIR INTAKE PIPE MATERIAL
3" PVC Schedule 40 or galvanized steel materials are
recommended.
All joints must be sealed using appropriate sealants.
FLUE AND AIR INTAKE RESTRICTIONS
1. Maximum allowed equivalent flue and air intake length for
different flue systems at different altitudes are given in
the tables on page 7.
2. Equivalent of flue or air intake length is sum of the
straight pipe lengths and equivalent length of elbows as
shown in the table on this page.
3. The vent termination is in addition to the allowed equiva-
lent lengths.
4. Minimum flue length is 610 mm (24").
5. Flue length restriction is for both direct and non-direct
vent installations.
EXAMPLE: Boiler model VSPH-180 is to be installed at sea
level. The combustion air is provided by air intake piping
directly to the boiler (direct-vent installation). Flue piping
includes 2 elbows and using Heat-Fab system. Air intake is
PVC and includes 3 elbows.
Maximum straight flue length would be
10.0m – .9m x 2 = 8.2m (33 feet – 3 feet x 2 = 27 feet) .
Maximum straight air intake pipe would be
12.2m - 0.9m x 3 = 9.5m (40-3x5=25 feet).
If the air for combustion were taken from the boiler room
(non-direct vent installation), still the maximum straight flue
length would be 7.3 m (24 feet).
6. All Victory VSPH boilers are equipped with a built-in
condensation drain and trap. The trap loop must be
filled with water. DO NOT operate the boiler without
filling the trap with water to prevent flue gas discharge
into space. The drain should extend to a floor drain or
to a container which may require emptying periodically.
7. The horizontal vent pipe must be sloped upward from
the boiler at a pitch of at least 20mm/m (1/4" per 1 foot)
of run, so that the condensate from the vent system
runs to the drain trap.
8. The horizontal vent pipes must be supported with pipe
straps at intervals no greater than indicated by vent
pipe manufacturer’s instructions. The vertical portion
vent pipe also must be supported per manufacturer’s
instructions. Support air intake piping in the same
manner as the vent pipes.
9. Minimum clearances of vent pipes from combustible
constructions must be maintained (see Page 4).
Maintain minimum 25mm (1") clearance between vent
pipes and PVC air intake pipes.
10. Common venting with other appliances or another
VSPH boiler is not allowed.
11. DO NOT install a vent damper or similar devices in
vent system or on the boiler.
12. Do not insulate venting system.

VENTING INSTALLATION
Follow the vent material manufacturer’s instructions in
conjunction with these instructions for venting system
installation.
I. Non-Direct Vent Installation
The air for combustion is taken from the ambient air
surrounding the boiler; therefore, ample supply of air is
required for combustion and ventilation (see page 5.)
DO NOT use this installation method if the surrounding of
the boiler is contaminated. The harmful corrosive
contamination may be from the chlorine-type detergents,
cleaners, bleaches, and fabric softeners used in laundry or
chlorine-based swimming pool chemicals.
A. SIDEWALL VENTING - NON-DIRECT VENT
Figures 5 and 6 show typical horizontal sidewall venting. For
combustible wall passage of vent piping, a UL or CSA listed
thimble must be used, providing the wall thickness from 76
mm (3") minimum up to 305 mm (12") maximum. The vent
piping must terminate with a screened tee or elbow
termination facing down.
CAUTION: Flue gasses existing from the vent terminal will
condense. Building materials in the area of the vent terminal
should be protected from discoloration and degradation.
VENT TERMINATION LOCATION AND CLEARANCES
1. The venting system shall terminate at least 914 mm (36")
above any forced air inlet located within 3048 mm (120").
2. The venting system shall terminate at least 1219 mm
(48") below, 1219 mm (48") horizontally from, or 305 mm
(12") above any door, window or gravity air inlet into any
building. The bottom of the vent terminal or air intake ter-
minal shall be at least 305 mm (12") above grade or the
normal snow level whichever is greater.
3. Through the wall vents shall not terminate over public
walkways or over areas where condensate or vapor
could create a nuisance or hazard or could be detrimen-
tal to the operation of regulators, relief valves or other
equipment. Minimum clearance of 1219 mm (48") hori-
zontal distance is maintained, from electric meters, gas
meters, regulators and relief equipment.
4. Vent termination must not be located in any confined
space (i.e. window wells, alcoves, narrow alleys) or under
any overhang or deck. Vent termination should not allow
flue gas discharge towards neighbor’s windows or where
personal injury or property damages can occur.
B. NON-DIRECT VENT - VERTICAL VENTING
Figure 7 shows typical venting through the roof. The vent
pipe must pass through the ceiling, floor and the roof verti-
cally through a 178 mm (7") minimum diameter cutout. A fire
stop is required for each ceiling and floor penetration. For
roof passage, an appropriate UL listed roof flashing must be
used.
An existing chimney (see Figure 8) may be used as a chase
for vertical venting. Other appliances CANNOT be vented
into the same chimney or vent pipe with in the chimney.
The vertical vent piping must terminate with a screened tee,
or combination of 45° elbow and a 90° screened elbow
termination or a rain cap termination.
II. Direct Vent Installation
Air intake piping from outside to the boiler air intake collar
provides the air for combustion. The boiler surrounding may
be contaminated with chlorine-based products such as laun-
dry detergents.
A. SIDEWALL DIRECT VENTING
Figures 9 and 10 show typical sidewall direct venting.
Slant/Fin vent/air intake termination MUST be used for this
method of installation.
CAUTION: Flue gasses existing from the vent terminal will
condense. Building materials in the area of the terminal
should be protected from discoloration and degradation.
See page 4 for vent termination location and required
clearances.
VENT/AIR INTAKE TERMINATION INSTALLATION
1. Termination must be installed horizontally.
2 Refer to Figure 11 for installation details.
3. Wall thickness should be 76 to305 mm (3" to12") thick
4. Follow instruction for "vent termination location and
clearances" explained on this page.
5. Cut a rectangular opening with following dimensions in the
wall.
Height: 133 mm (51/4")
Width: 324 mm (1213/44")
6. From outside of the wall, install outside termination plate
using 4 screws. Make sure the louvers are at left side.
7. For combustible wall a 4" galvanized pipe must be used as
a wall thimble.
The length of the 4" galvanized pipe should be
approximately 25 mm (1") shorterthan the wall thickness.
8. From inside the building, fit galvanized pipe over4" collar
of the outside plate.
9. From inside, fit 3” diameterair intake pipe over3" collar
located on the air box of the outside plate.

VENTING AND AIR INTAKE SYSTEM REGULAR
INSPECTION
A. Inspect the system regularly for condensation, corrosion
and/or physical damage. A qualified professional should
service the boiler annually and include such an inspection
at that time. The homeowner should look over the system
monthly for damage, water stains, any signs of rust, other
corrosions or separation of the vent and air intake piping (if
direct-vent).
B. Should an inspection turn up signs of condensation, corro-
sion or damage, the boiler should be shut down immediate-
ly and the condition should be corrected by a qualified pro-
fessional.
C. All Victory VSPH boilers are equipped with a built-in con-
densation drain and trap. The trap loop must be filled with
water. DO NOT operate the boiler without filling the trap with
water to prevent flue gas discharge into space. Periodic
inspection should be made of this assembly for deteriora-
tion of the tubing and to insure that the trap is not plugged.
If it is plugged or appears to have excessive sediment in it,
it should be removed from the drain assembly, straightened
out to clear the obstruction, reformed, filled with water and
reinstalled as before.
GAS PIPING
A. Local installation codes apply. The pipe joint compound
used on threads must be resistant to the action of lique-
fied petroleum gases.
B. The gas supply line to the boiler should be run directly
from the meter for natural gas or from the fuel tank for L.P.
propane gas. See page 2 for location of union and manu-
al main shut-off valve that may be specified locally.
Selecting pipe size for natural gas:
1. Measure or estimate the length of piping from the
meter to the installation site.
2. Consult gas supplier for heating value of gas (W/m)
(BTU/cu. ft.).
3. Divide boiler rated input by heating value to find gas
flow in piping (m3/hr.) (cu. ft. per hour).
4. Use table below to select proper pipe size.
Example: Boiler model VSPH-150 is to be installed. Distance
from gas meter to the boilers is 9144 mm (360 in.). Heating
value of natural gas is 10 557 W/m3(1020 BTU/cu. ft.) Select
proper pipe size.
Gas flow = 43 965 W/hr. = 4.16 m3/hr.
10 557 W/m3
(Gas flow = 150,000 BTU/hour = 147 cu. ft. per hour)
1020 BTU/cu. ft.
At 9.1 m (30 ft.) length of pipe, match required capacity from
table on this page (choose higher capacity, in this case 4.3
m3/hr. [152 cu. ft. per hour].) Required pipe size is 3/4".
Improper gas pipe sizing will result in pilot flame outages,
insufficient heat and other installation difficulties. For more
information and also if other appliances are to be attached to
the piping system, see Appendix C of National Fuel Gas
Code ANSI Z2231 latest edition or CSA B 149.1 latest edition
for natural gas and propane.
C. The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested
before placing the boiler in operation. Use liquid soap
solution for all gas leak testing. DO NOT use open flame.
This boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be discon-
nected from the gas supply piping system during any
pressure testing of that system at test pressures in
excess of 3.5 kPa (1/2 PSIG). This boiler must be isolated
from the gas supply piping system by closing its individ-
ual manual shutoff valve during any pressure testing of
the gas supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 3.5 kPa (1/2 PSIG).
D. All gas piping used should be inspected thoroughly for
cleanliness before makeup. A sediment trap must be pro-
vided, as illustrated on page 2.
E. The minimum and maximum gas supply pressure (at the
inlet of gas valve) are shown on the boiler rating plate for
the type of gas used. Gas supply pressure should never
be less than minimum or more than maximum pressure
when the boiler or any other appliance is turned on or off.
ELECTRICAL WIRING
DANGER: Before wiring always turn off electric power supply
otherwise, shock or death can result.
1. Power Supply
A separately fused circuit is recommended. Use standard
15 Amp. fuse or breaker and 14 gauge conductors in BX
cable or conduit.
Provide disconnect means and overload protection as
required. See boiler wiring diagram (Figure 13a) boiler con-
trol (Figure13b) and ladder diagram (Figure 13c).
Boiler must be electrically grounded in accordance with the
requirements of the authority having jurisdiction, or, in the
absence of such requirements, with the Canadian Electrical
Code, CSA-C22-1, Part 1-latest edition.

I. BOILER WATER TEMPERATURE AND ECONOMY LEVEL SETTINGS
SETTING THE CONTROL
At initial start up, with the Economy Feature active, the con-
trol establishes a 63°C (145°F) target temperature. To test the
high limit shut-off function, the Economy Dial must be turned
to OFF. Once tested, restore the Economy setting. If the
heating demand is high, the target will increase over time to
satisfy the heat load. NOTE: To reduce the potential for con-
densing, the control will allow the boiler to heat to 49°C
(120°F) prior to energizing the circulator.
Thermal Targeting technology analyzes thermostat activity
and continually evaluate how much heat the house requires.
When it is very cold outside, the heat demand is high and
the Fuel Smart HydroStat will raise the boiler's Target temper-
ature to provide needed heat to the home. When the outside
temperature is milder, the heat demand is lower. During
these periods, the Fuel Smart HydroStat will lower the boil-
er's Target temperature – saving fuel – while continuing to
provide comfort to the house.
SYSTEM START-UP HOW THERMAL TARGETING WORKS
SETTING THE HIGH LIMIT
The high limit is factory set at 88°C (190°F). To adjust, turn the HI
TEMP Dial (A)until the desired setting is displayed. (Setting
range: 38°C–104°C [100°–220°F])
SETTING THE ECONOMY FEATURE
The Economy Feature is factory set for a 1 zone heating system.
To adjust, turn the ECONOMY Dial (B)until the number dis-
played equals the number of heating zones. Do not include indi-
rect water heaters in the number of heating zones. The
Economy Feature conserves fuel by reducing boiler tempera-
ture (see “How Thermal Targeting Works” below). If the heating
system is unable to supply needed heat to the house, the
ECONOMY Dial should be turned to a lower setting (example: In
a three zone house, turn the dial to 2 or 1). Conversely, if the
boiler provides adequate heat, added fuel savings can be
achieved by selecting a higher setting (example: 4 or 5).
DIFFERENTIALS
Differentials are automatic and will vary based on control set-
tings and boiler temperature.
ACTIVATING THERMAL PRE-PURGE (OPTIONAL)
NOTE: Activation of this feature is not recommended for boilers
with tankless coils.
Fuel Smart HydroStat has a Thermal Pre-Purge feature to maxi-
mize efficiency. When activated, the control will purge higher
boiler temperatures down to 57°C (135°F) at the start of any ther-
mostat call and supply the latent energy in the boiler to the heat-
ing zone that is calling. During the purge cycle, the display will
indicate Pur. If the heat is not sufficient to satisfy the thermostat,
the control will energize the burner. This feature works with sin-
gle- and multi-zone heating systems utilizing circulators or zone
valves. No change in wiring is needed.
To Activate Thermal Pre-Purge
Push and hold the TEST/SETTINGS button for 20 seconds. The
display will read Pur On. To deactivate the feature, push and hold
the button a second time for 20 seconds. The display will read Pur
OFF.
SETTING
OFF Disables economy function. Will allow boiler to fire until hi
limit temp is reached and re-fire with a 10° subtractive
differential.
LO Provides lowest level of fuel savings. Use this setting only
if the house does not stay warm at higher settings.
1 Recommended setting for single zone systems
2 Recommended setting for Two zone systems
3 Recommended setting for Three zone systems
4 Recommended setting for Four zone systems
5 Recommended setting for Five zone systems

(TEMP) HIGH TEMP Illuminates
when the boiler water temperature reach-
es the high limit setting. It will remain lit
until the water temperature falls 10°. The
Fuel Smart HydroStat prevents burnerop-
eration while this LED is on.
(LWCO) ACTIVE Indicates that the low
water cut-off (LWCO) function of the Fuel
Smart HydroStat is active. When the con-
trol is installed with a Hydrolevel Electro-
Well, this LED will be on at all times when
the control is powered.
IMPORTANT: If the control is installed with
a well other than the Electro-Well, this LED
will not illuminate indicating that the control
is not providing low water cut-off function-
ality.
(LWCO) LOW WATER Illuminates if the boiler is in a low
water condition. The Fuel Smart HydroStat will prevent burner
operation during this condition. IMPORTANT:The system must
be checked by a qualified heating professional prior to resuming
operation.
WARNING: DO NOT ADD WATER UNTIL THE BOILER HAS
FULLY COOLED.
(ECONOMY) ACTIVE Indicates that the Thermal Targeting
function is active and the Fuel Smart HydroStat will reduce boil-
er temperature to conserve fuel. The Economy feature is activat-
ed using the ECONOMY dial. (See “How Thermal Targeting
Works” for more information).
(ECONOMY) TARGET When the
Economy feature is active, the Fuel
Smart HydroStat continually sets tar-
get temperatures below the high limit
setting to maximize fuel efficiency.
When the boiler water reaches the
target temperature, the LED illumi-
nates and the burner will shut
down.The boiler water will continue
to circulate and heat the house as
long as the thermostat call contin-
ues. The LED will stay lit until the
boiler temperature drops to the differ-
ential set point (see Differentials) at
which point the boiler will be allowed
to fire again. NOTE: This LED illumi-
nates regularly during normal boiler
operation.
(PURGE) The control is purging latent heat from the boiler
and will not fire until the temperature drops to 135˚F. See Ther-
mal Pre-Purge section.
LWCO TEST BUTTON
To Test Low Water Cut-Off: Press and hold the LWCO TEST
button. The red Low Water light should illuminate and the burner
circuit should de-energize. NOTE: The control must be installed
with a Hydrolevel Electro-Well for low water cut-off functionality.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
This boiler is equipped with a feature that saves energy by reducing the boiler water
temperature as the heating load decreases. This feature is equipped with an override
which is provided primarily to permit the use of an external energy management system
that serves the same function. THIS OVERRIDE MUST NOT BE USED UNLESS AT

2. Power Connection
A. Remove electrical junction box cover.
B. Hot connection lead is black. Neutral connection lead is
white.
Proper polarity is important for VSPH boilers. Reversed
polarity will cause system lockout and the power LED will
flash continuously.
C. Connect ground wire to ground screw inside the junction
box.
D. Replace junction box cover.
THERMOSTAT CONNECTIONS
Install thermostat on an inside wall and away from any heat
sources, sunshine and drafts. Thermostat wires must be
connected to terminals block on boiler. See wiring diagram
Figure 13a.
Thermostat heat anticipator: For a non-zoned system set ther-
mostat heat anticipator to 0.4 Amps, for zoned system set to
match power requirements of zone valves or relays. Refer to
manufacturer’s instructions and specifications. Also see
instructions with thermostat.
MULTI ZONING
For multiple zoning, either zone valves or circulators maybe
used.
For zone valve system see Figure 14.
For pump zoning system see Figure 15 and Figure 16.
DO NOT use boiler transformer to power external accessories
like zone valve and relays, overload and/or burned-out trans-
former and boiler malfunction can result. Use separate trans-
former to power such components. For pump zoning system,
remove boiler circulator wire connector from P5 of electronic
boiler control (See Figure 13b).
WATER PIPING
Always follow good piping practices. Observe minimum 25
mm (1") clearance to combustibles around all uninsulated hot
water pipes or when openings around pipes are not protected
by non-combustible materials.
On a hot water boiler installed above radiation level, the boiler
must be provided with a low water cutoff device at the the
time of installation by the installer (see Figure 17 for piping
arrangement).
The low water cutoff must be wired in the hot leg (L1)
connection to the boiler. See wiring diagram Figure 13a.
1. Supply and Return
For tapping sizes see dimensions on page 2. Shut-off
valves are recommended.
2. Circulating Systems
Some Victory boilers are equipped with a water circulating
pump mounted to the return water connection on the boiler.
This pump location is appropriate for most installations. It
may be desired and proper to locate this pump to the alter-
nate location shown in Figure 17, especially when applied to
larger systems using high-head pumps.
When the pump is removed there is a 11/2" FPT tapping that
the return pipe may be attached to.
At one month intervals after the last call for heat, the circula-
tor will be energized for 30 seconds. Short operation after
long term idle periods prevent damage of the pump from
sedimentation.
3. Radiant Floor, Low Temperature return water
prevention
Some acceptable method to prevent return water to the
boiler below 54°C (130°F) must be used. A boiler by-pass
with three-way mixing valve or a primary/secondary
pumping (with boiler loop) are examples of acceptable
methods.
4. Air control system
Diaphragm type expansion tank is used to control system
pressure. It must be installed at the boiler or between boil-
er and supply main pump(s).
An automatic air vent is used to remove air from the sys-
tem in Figure 17. If system pressure needs further control,
add an additional tank in parallel with original tank or
install a larger capacity tank. Use appropriate size tank for
volume of water in system. See chart for boiler’s volume.
