Sussman ES Installation, Operation And Maintenance Manual - page 8
REFER TO NATIONAL AND ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL CODES FOR SPECIFIC INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS.
1. The boiler should be mounted on a solid, level foundation.
2. The boiler should be located with suitable clearances, refer to page 3 and Code requirements.
NOTE: Allow minimum of 21 inches clearance in front of door for servicing of heating elements.
3. Do not install boiler in any location where water could freeze.
4. Do not install boiler outdoors.
5. Do not install boiler near flammable or corrosive materials.
6. Do not install boiler in a location where leakage from the boiler tank or piping can damage to
adjacent areas or to lower floors of the structure. Provide a floor drain and properly sloped floor
from the boiler towards the drain or install a suitably plumbed drain pan under the boiler.
NOTE: Allow a minimum of 36 inches of clearance in front of door for servicing of heating elements.
ALL PIPING SHOULD BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED LICENSED PLUMBER
IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES.
1. When water feed is other than pump type the water supply pressure must be 10 psig greater than boil-
er operating pressure to assure water supply maintains proper water level in the boiler. Insufficient
water levels can result in improper boiler operation. (Keep feed water valves open at all times during
normal operation.)
2. If pump and boiler are plumbed within 30 feet (pipe length) a minimum of 2 check valves are required
to avoid damage to pump.
3. Connect steam line with customer supplied outlet valve to boiler steam outlet.
NOTE: For best performance, a globe valve rated for steam service higher than the maximum boiler pres-
sure should be plumbed on the steam outlet line; failure to do so can cause heating element breakdown.
See page 1 for steam outlet valve size.
4. Provide for boiler drain connection, a daily blowdown is required. A "Blowdown Separator Tank" may
be necessary, check with local code.
5. Safety valve shall be plumbed according to local code.
NOTE: The safety valve shall not be plumbed with a line sized less than the outlet size of the safety valve.
