These recommendations are calculated on average boiler water volumes and the average water volumes of currently popular types of radiation and piping systems. The industry operating standards of 12 psig fill
pressure and 30 psig relief pressure are used. For boiler sizes or operating conditions other than above, refer to page 8, or consult our technical department for recommendations.
