Thank you for choosing Hydro-Core. This valve kit was designed to facilitate installation

and regular maintenance of your boiler. It was not designed for installations exposed to subfreezing

conditions. Drain valves should remain closed during normal operation. Do not rely on the drain

cap to stop the water from draining. When draining, always remove drain caps slowly to ensure that

no pressure exists.

IMPORTANT: Follow all federal/national, state and local codes when installing or performing work on

systems. All parts are covered by a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects provided they

are installed by a licensed plumber and operated under normal working conditions. Disassembling

parts other than the unions, strainer and handle will void this warranty. If you have any questions or

comments, please contact us at (800) 225-9529 or visit us on the web - www.webstonevalves.com.

Secondary System Purging Typically boiler manufacturers want to make sure that any foreign matter (dirt, shavings, PTFE thread tape, etc.) is flushed out of the Hydronic Piping System before fluid begins to flow between the boiler and the piping system. To purge the secondary system the following is needed: • A hose w/ 3⁄4" hose thread connection • A water source • Power to the circulator pump in the secondary loop 1.
PAGE 10
Filling/Power Purging The Hydro-Core and associated NBP offers several beneficial features for a system’s startup and future maintenance. At startup the boiler can be isolated from the remaining hydronic system and the trapped air in the boiler and associated piping can be power purged out.
PAGE 11
Strainer Servicing RETURN SUPPLY 1. Turn the lever handles on both Hydro-Core ball valves so that they are parallel to the flange. The T-Flow handle logo indicates the flow pattern inside the valve. The logo should indicate that flow can go through the purging valve and both the supply and return piped assemblies. 2. Release internal pressure by removing the system return purging valve cap and turning the drain handle on the system return purging valve into the open position (parallel with the flange).
