Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure the unit is mounted using the provided 304 stainless steel brackets to prevent stress on the connections. The 1-1/4 inch MNPT ports are compatible with standard plumbing fittings; ensure you use appropriate thread sealant or tape for a leak-free connection. When routing piping, consider installing isolation valves on both sides of the heat exchanger to facilitate future maintenance or flushing. Periodically inspect the unit for mineral buildup, especially if used in hard water environments, as scale can reduce thermal efficiency over time. If performance degrades, a standard acidic flushing solution designed for plate heat exchangers can be circulated through the system to clean the plates.
