4587%-Efficiency Boilers –Special InstructionsWater PipingAn 87%-efficiency boiler requires a minimum inletwater temperature of 120ºF (49ºC) to prevent exces-sive condensation in the combustion chamber. An87%-efficiency boiler operated with an inlet tempera-ture of less than 120ºF (49ºC) must have a manualbypass or an approved low-temperature operationsystem to prevent problems with condensation. A man-ual bypass, shown in Fig. 15, must be piped into thesystem at the time of installation. This piping is like aprimary/secondary boiler installation with a bypass inthe secondary boiler piping. Raypak strongly recomm-NOTE: The constructions of the 84%- (standard)and 87%-efficiency (optional) boilers are very similar,and they are installed to the same requirements,except as noted in this section.ends that a thermometer be placed into the boiler inletpiping next to the in/out header to facilitate tempera-ture adjustment. Inlet water temperatures below 120ºF(49ºC) can excessively cool the products of combus-tion, resulting in condensation on the heat exchanger.VentingAppliance CategoriesSee Table P for appliance category requirements forthe 87%-efficiency Hi Delta.CAUTION: Proper installation of flue venting is criti-cal for the safe and efficient operation of the boiler.NOTE: For additional information on appliancecategorization, see appropriate code NFGC (U.S.)and B149 (Canada), or applicable local buildingcodes.20°F T 30°F T 40°F T Min.
