☐ When attaching the piping to the coil header, make
the connection only tight enough to prevent leaks.
Maximum recommended torque is 200 foot-
pounds.

Hot Water Heat Units (SLH_)
Hot water heating coils are factory installed inside the
heater section of the unit. Once the unit is set into
place, the hot water piping and the factory provided 3–
way modulating valve must be installed. The valve can
be installed inside the heat section or near the unit. If
the valve is installed in a remote location, use field
supplied wiring to extend the control wires from the
heater section to the valve. Two access holes are
provided in the unit base as illustrated in Figure 53, p.
71.
Use the following guidelines to enhance both the
installation and operation of the “wet heat” system.
Figure 54, p. 72 illustrates the recommended piping
configuration for the hot water coil. Table 28, p. 71 lists
the coil connection sizes.
NNoottee:: The valve actuators are not waterproof. Failure to
protect the valve from moisture may result in the
loss of heating control.
1. Support all field-installed piping independently
from the heating coil.
2. Use swing joints or flexible connectors adjacent to
the heating coil. (These devices will absorb the
strains of expansion and contraction).
3. All return lines and fittings must be equal to the
diameter of the “outlet” connection on the hot
water coil.
4. Install a “Gate” type valve in the supply branch line
as close as possible to the hot water main and
upstream of any other device or takeoff.
5. Install a “Gate” type valve in the return branch line
as close as possible to the return main and down
stream of any other device.
6. Install a strainer in the hot water supply branch as
shown in Figure 54, p. 72.
7. Install the 3-way valve in an upright position, piped
for valve seating against the flow. Ensure that the
valve location lends itself to serviceability.
8. The Type “W” hot water coil is self-venting only
when the tube water velocity exceeds 1.5 feet per
second (fps). If the tube velocity is less than 1.5 feet
per second, either:
a. install an automatic air vent at the top of the
return header, using the tapped pipe connection
or,
b. vent the coil from the top of the return header
down to the return piping. At the vent
connection, size the return piping to provide
sufficient water velocity.
9. Install a “Globe” type valve in the Bypass line as
shown in Figure 54, p. 72.
Steam Heat Units
Steam heating coils are factory installed inside the
heater section of the unit. The coils are pitched within
the units to provide the proper condensate flow from
the coil. To maintain the designed degree of pitch for
the coil, the unit must be level.
Once the unit is set into place, the steam piping and the
factory provided 2–way modulating valve must be
installed. The valve can be installed inside the heater
section or near the unit. If the valve is installed in a
remote location, use field supplied wiring to extend the
control wires from the heater section to the valve. Two
access holes are provided in the unit base as illustrated
in Figure 53, p. 71.
Use the following guidelines to enhance both the
installation and operation of the “wet heat” system.
Figure 55, p. 72 illustrates the recommended piping
configurations for the steam coil.Table 28, p. 71 lists
the coil connection sizes.
NNoottee:: The valve actuators are not waterproof. Failure to
protect the valve from moisture may result in the
loss of heating control.
1. Support all field-installed piping independently
from the heating coil.
2. Use swing joints or flexible connectors adjacent to
the heating coil. (These devices will absorb the
strains of expansion and contraction.)
3. Install the 2-way valve in an upright position.
Ensure that the valve's location lends itself to
serviceability.
4. Pitch the supply and return steam piping downward
1" per 10' of run in the direction of flow.
