INSTALLATION SYSTEM PIPING<br />

! WARNING<br />

Burn or Scald Hazard. Discharge line shall be installed to relief valve outlet connection to avoid burns,<br />

scalding, or water damage due to discharge of steam and/or hot water during operation.<br />

Discharge line shall:<br />

• connect to relief valve outlet and piped down to safe point of disposal. Check local codes for maximum<br />

distance from floor or allowable safe point of discharge.<br />

• be of pipe size equal to or greater than that of the relief valve outlet over the entire length of discharge<br />

line;<br />

• have no intervening shutoff valve between safety relief valve and discharge to atmosphere (do not plug or<br />

place any obstruction in discharge line.<br />

• terminate freely to atmosphere where any discharge will be clearly visible and at no risk of freezing;<br />

• allow complete drainage of the valve and the discharge line;<br />

• be independently supported and securely anchored to avoid applied stress on the relief valve;<br />

• be as short and straight as possible;<br />

• terminate with plain end (not threaded);<br />

• be constructed of material suitable for exposure to temperatures of 375° F; or greater.<br />

Refer to local codes and appropriate ANSI/ASME <strong>Boiler</strong> and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, or <strong>Boiler</strong>,<br />

Pressure Vessel and Pressure Piping Code, CSA B51 for additional installation requirements.<br />

1. Refer to local codes and appropriate ASME <strong>Boiler</strong><br />

and Pressure Vessel Code for additional installation<br />

requirements.<br />

2. Install relief valve on 3/4” pipe nipple in tapped boiler<br />

opening.<br />

A. Pipe discharge line following guidelines in preceding<br />

Warning. See Figure 2.<br />

B. Discharge line pipe size shall be equal or greater<br />

than that of relief valve outlet over entire length<br />

of discharge line with no intervening shutoff valve<br />

between safety relief valve and discharge to<br />

atmosphere.<br />

C. Discharge line shall terminate with plain end to<br />

atmosphere where any discharge will be clearly<br />

visible and is at no risk of freezing.<br />

D. Discharge line shall be independently supported to<br />

avoid applied stress on relief valve.<br />

E. <strong>Installation</strong> shall allow complete drainage of relief<br />

valve and discharge line.<br />

3. Install Drain Valve on lower left side of boiler as<br />

marked.<br />

4. Install Temperature and Pressure Gauge into ¼”<br />

bushing threaded in tee furnished with supply piping.<br />

See Figures 3 and 4.<br />

5. Connect Supply and Return Lines to boiler. Figure 3 &<br />

4. Connections may require certain additional fittings<br />

and parts.<br />
