Heatmor 200X - Initial Filling of HEATMOR Furnace with Water

16
FILLING THE HEATMOR™ OUTDOOR FURNACE INITIALLY
WITH WATER
Before your HEATMOR™ furnace with water, all plumbing connections at the back of the
HEATMOR™ furnace, all electrical hookups, and all heating appliances should be installed
and tested for possible leaks.
HEATMOR™ suggests the use of brass ttings when installing the unit.
NOTE: If you have any questions regarding installation of the furnace or any aspect of
installation, contact your local dealer.
NOTE: Never start a re inside the rebox until the water jacket is full of water and sand
has been added to the base to the correct level.
1. Close the bladder gate valve located at the front of the HEATMOR™ furnace.
2. This valve will ensure no water can enter the bladder.
3. Close the bottom supply line valve at this back of the
HEATMOR™.
4. Open the top return line valve at the back of the
HEATMOR™.
5. Ensure the vent pipe is unobstructed. If equipped with a pop-
off ball on the roof of the furnace, remove it from the relief
vent pipe.
6. Connect the water source to the return line leading to the
HEATMOR™. Use a garden hose to add the water to the
return line.
7. Turn on the source of water.
8. The pressured water will now ow through and remove the
air out of the return line as the wter ows into the
HEATMOR™.
9. Continue adding water until water ows out the relief vent
pipe onto the roof of the HEATMOR™.
10. Turn off the source of water.
The HEATMOR™ is now full of water and the return line is also full of water and air free,
BUT the supply line leading from the HEATMOR™ to the building to be heated is still full
of air.
11. Close the top return line valve at the back of the HEATMOR™.
12. Remove the garden hose that was used to deliver the source of water from the top
return line, BUT leave the garden hose valve open.
13. Open the bottom supply line at the back of the HEATMOR™ (bottom). The pressure
of the water in the HEATMOR™ will now force water from the HEATMOR™ through
the supply line back into the building to be heated. This water will soon discharge
from where the garden hose was connected. When there is a steady stream of water
owing, the air will be removed from that supply line. Usually it requires the removal of
approximately ve gallons of water to ensure the line is air-free.
