FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

(Here we share experiences, knowledge and successful solutions by answering your most asked questions.)

• When is a condensing boiler best applied?  Condensing boilers are best used in low temperature......

• What concerns should I have when venting a condensing boiler?  Know the venting situation before you specify a condensing boiler...

• Do I need to install a drain valve on a copper fin boiler?  YES!  All copper fin boilers have an ASME, NFPA, and local requirement for a drain valve...

• What ASME code applies to where and when to install a drain valve?  More than one, but we'll site the ASME H and HLW requirements..

• Do I need to use an ASME rated expansion tank on a 30 psi?  Here's the ASME code, you decide!

• Do I need to specify a low water cut off on a copper fin boiler?  Not if you install a flow switch, but.....

• What is a freeze protection damper and when should I use it?  Great questions and you should use it just about any time a copper fin boiler is directly connected to outdoor air.  It has very specific control aspects though so you should be sure to write.....
