Where is the remote disconnect typically located?

The remote disconnect is typically located at the egress, which is the exit point of the building or facility. This placement is crucial for safety reasons, as it allows for immediate access to the disconnect in case of an emergency. If a situation arises that requires shutting off the boiler quickly—such as a fire or gas leak—having the disconnect at the egress ensures that personnel can swiftly cut off power and services without needing to navigate through potentially hazardous areas. This accessibility directly contributes to mitigating risks and enhancing the overall safety of the facility.

In contrast, positioning the disconnect near the main control panel, beside the burner, or on the roof does not afford the same level of safety or accessibility in emergency situations. These locations could impede rapid response when rapid disconnection is essential, making such choices less favorable for remote disconnects in high-pressure boiler systems.
