PIPING
D. WATER HEATING PIPING
1) Use only the pipe sizes shown and a pump meeting the listed specications in the following tables:
*Note: Individual Appliance Piping pressure drop used in the tables is based on 20 feet of straight pipe,
6 elbows, 2 tees, 2 full port ball valves and 2 unions.
2) The cold water supply to the water heating system should be connected between the heater outlet
and the storage tank or the storage tank directly. This will help minimize unnecessary short cycling
due to small hot water draws.
3) Isolation valves should be installed on each heater and on the cold and hot water system connections.
Upon completion of piping, ll and properly purge of all air. Open all valves and start circulating pump. Consult
Hamilton Engineering for specic piping diagrams for your application at 800.968.5530.
