Relief Valve Piping Hydrostatic Test Unlike many types of heaters, this heater does not re-quire hydrostatic testing prior to being placed inoperation. The heat exchanger has already been fac-tory-tested and is rated for 160 psi operating pressure.However, Raypak does recommend hydrostatic test-ing ...

14 longer needed and the bypass can be shut off. If thebypass is not shut off as the system heats up, the out-let temperature may continue to climb and trip the highlimit, thereby shutting down the heater. Thus an auto-matic valve system, such as a three-way proportionalvalve or a modulating two-way...

16 Domestic Hot Water When designing the water piping system for domestichot water applications, water hardness should be con-sidered. Table G indicates the suggested flow rates forsoft, medium and hard water. Water hardness is ex-pressed in grains per gallon. Potable Water and Space Heating 1. All ...
