The PV200 has a cV of 95, meaning you can get 95gpm through the eliminator with 1psi of pressure drop.
PVU - Universal models bottom connections are same as inlet and outlet for vertical riser application.
it is mounted on horizontal piping, the vent should be upright.
I would call the return same as the supply to the boiler, so not sure on your terms. If you mean supply to your loops, one could do this but it would be a waste. I have low pressure in floor heat. I don't think this is certified for high pressure or steam. I put it after the heat exchanger as that part would create the most turbulence and likewise air needing to be captured and released. Also, it is installed before the pump in an attempt to prevent cavitation due to air.
No, it must be installed as pictured. Josh Storer Barefoot Radiant Heating www.barefootradiant.com
Should be installed horizontally for correct operation.
Only vertically. Delmer Martin Replied or Forwarded
The air catcher can only be installed one way that I know of, the small air release valve must always be at the top because air wants to rise in water. If you mount this any other way, I doubt that it will catch air and allow it to automatically release.
This can only be mounted vertically as shown. The air elimination occurs at the top of the item and air will move to that position through gravity.
The bottom of the air eliminator has 1/2" female threads.
It has a 1/2" threaded port on the bottom. You can run 1/2" pipe from here to your expansion tank as long as you install a drain at the expansion tank so that you can fill the 10' section of pipe with water instead of just having air trapped in it.
It was a while ago, but it is the same fitting size as my expansion tank, which threaded right into it without issue. I want to say it is 1/2 inch. My tanks, (I have two, one for the solar hot water and one for my radiant system) both hang below the unit and I have threaded 3/4 inch pipe hangers supporting the unit on both sides. I have no idea on moving the expansion tank away from the eliminator, but I wouldn't think it would matter. I used 3/4 copper for my entire setup. I am not a plumber, so all bets are off! Hope that helps! Regards Paul Naro
I don't remember. You should place a 1/2" tee under the air eliminator and hook up your makeup water there to eliminate air more quickly coming from your supply, then just screw your expansion tank into the tee. 1/2 " type L
