capable of supporting it.
WARNING
Failure to properly support an MS tank could result in property damage or personal injury.
2) Locate the Mega-Stor in a location where a leak in the tank, the adjacent piping, or an open T&P valve will not damage the
surrounding structure. If the area around the desired tank location is highly susceptible to water damage, install the Mega-
Stor in a pan with a drain.

called for in Table 2.1 through the coil. Also, the further the Mega-Stor is from the boiler, the longer the response of the
boiler will be to a call from the Mega-Stor zone. If long runs exist between the boiler and Mega-Stor it is advisable to
insulate the piping.
