Shut Off Valves There are 3 shut off valves required for an system. The drain valve should be near the low integrated combo system as follows: point of the return piping system upstream of the shut off valve and is preferred to be near the water heater. • One valve (a) on the cold water side of the water heater upstream of the heating loop connection. This valve has the ability to isolate the hot water (domestic and space Throttling Valve heating) from the household cold water supply. Thi

Water Heater Thermostat The hot water inlet temperature is typically 140˚F The water heater thermostat is set by the installing contractor to provide the required (60˚C). If this temperature must be increased temperature at the hot water outlet of the water to achieve higher outputs from the furnace heater. It is important that a warning label be an anti-scald valve must be used to prevent domestic hot water temperatures above place near the water heater thermostat telling 140˚F (60˚C).
