Boiler PipingSECTION IV - Boiler PipingGeneral Piping Requirements- All plumbing must meet or exceed all local,state and national plumbing codes.- Support all piping using hangers. DO NOTsupport piping by the unit or its components.- Use isolation valves to isolate system com-ponents.- Install unions for easy removal of thePRESTIGE Solo from the system piping.Use a two wrench method when tighten-ing piping onto the boiler connections.Use one wrench to prevent the boilerpiping from turning / twisting. Failureto support the boiler piping and connec-tions in this manner could cause damageto the boiler and its components.Pressure Relief Valve1. The PRESTIGE Solo is supplied with a 30psi pressure relief valve and must be pipedusing the PRV connection as shown in Fig.5 page 15.2. To avoid potential water damage to the sur-rounding area or potential scalding hazarddue to the operation of the relief valve, thedischarge piping:- Must be connected to the discharge out-let of the relief valve and directed to asafe place of disposal.- Length should be as short and direct aspossible. The size of the discharge lineshould not be reduced, maintain thesame size as the outlet of the relief valve.- Should be directed downward towardsthe floor at all times. The piping shouldterminate at least 6 inches [153 mm]above any drain connection to allowclear visibility of the discharge.- Should terminate with a plain end, notwith a threaded end. The material ofthe piping should have a serviceabletemperature rating of 250ºF or greater.- Should not be subject to conditionswhere freezing could occur.- Should not contain any shut-off valvesor obstructions. No shut-off valveshould be piped between the boiler andrelief valve.Failure to comply with the guidelines oninstalling the pressure relief valve anddischarge piping can result in personalinjury, death or substantial propertydamage.Boiler Air VentThis boiler is supplied with a specialautomatic air vent that will provide reli-able operation in purging air from theboiler. The hygroscopic cap suppliedwith the automatic air vent MUSTremain tight at all times on the air ventbody. The hygroscopic cap has a mem-brane which expands upon contact withwater and seals the air vent until themembrane dries up due to new air form-ing in the air vent.1. Make sure to fully tighten the cap on the airvent on initial installation.2. Never loosen the hygroscopic cap to allowair to escape the air vent. Air will exit withthe cap fully tightened in place.3. If the hygroscopic cap is not fully tight-ened, water may leak from the cap. Simplytighten the cap securely.WARNINGWARNINGNOTICE14
