I. Pre-Installation supplied by Burnham, is used. DO NOT install on carpeting. A. INSPECT SHIPMENT carefully for any signs of damage. 2. FOR BASEMENT INSTALLATION, provide a solid base, such as concrete, if floor is not level, or if water may be encountered on floor around boiler. 1. ALL EQUIPMENT is carefully manufactured, inspected and packed. Our responsibility ceases upon delivery of the crated boiler to the carrier in good condition. 3.
C. PROVIDE AIR SUPPLY AND VENTILATION to than 50 ft3/1000 BTU per hour then the space is considered a confined space. accommodate proper combustion. If natural ventilation is inadequate, provide a screened opening or duct from the boiler room to the outside. The opening or duct must be sized so the boiler input will not exceed 4,000 BTUH/Sq. In. of free area. If other air consuming appliances are near the boiler, the air inlet should be larger. Consult respective manufacturers. D.
II. Knock-Down Boiler Assembly A. REMOVAL OF BOILER. 1. Remove, all boiler to skid, hold down fasteners. Refer to Figure 3. 2. Carefully walk boiler to the edge of skid. Tilt the boiler back, allowing an edge to rest on the floor, and remove the skid. Figure 3: Base on Skid B. TEST HEAT EXCHANGER FOR LEAKS before proceeding with jacket assembly. Heat exchanger, canopy, and base are preassembled. 1. Install pressure gauge supplied, a hose to the city water and a valve in the supply tapping.

III. Water Piping and Trim WARNING Failure to properly pipe boile r may re sult in i mproper ope ration and da mage to boiler or structure . Oxyge n c onta mination of boi ler water will cause corrosion of iron a nd s te el boiler c ompone nts , and can lead to boiler failure. Burnham's Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxy ge n contamination of boiler water or scale (lime ) bui ld-up c aused by freque nt addition of w ater. inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible materials.
Figure 7: Recommended Piping for Combination Heating and Cooling (Refrigeration) System C. Install Drain Valve in return piping. See Figures 8 and 9. B. Install Pressure Relief Valve. See Figures 8 and 9. Pressure Relief Valve must be installed with spindle in the vertical position. Installation of the relief valve must be consistent with ANSI/ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV. D.

F. CONNECT TANKLESS HEATER PIPING AS 2. TEMPERING OF HOT WATER — Installation of an automatic mixing valve will lengthen the delivery of the available hot water by mixing some cold water with the hot. This prevents the possibility of scalding hot water at the fixtures. In addition, savings of hot water will be achieved since the user will not waste as much hot water while seeking a water temperature.

IV. Venting than the boiler being replaced. That probably means that the stack temperature from the new boiler will be lower than that from the old boiler and with less room air being drawn up the chimney to dilute the stack gases. The combination of a large uninsulated chimney, reduced firing rate, reduced firing time, lower stack temperature and less dilution air can, in some cases, contribute to the condensing of small amounts of water vapor in the chimney.

V. Electrical DANGER Positively assure all electrical connecti ons are unpow ered before attempting installation or service of elec tric al components or connections of the boiler or bui lding. Lock out all ele ctrical boxes wi th pa dlock once power is turned off. WARNING Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm. Electrical pow er may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any electrical work.

VI. Oil Piping A. General. B. Single-pipe Oil Lines. 1. Use flexible oil line(s) so that burner can be removed without disconnecting the oil supply. 1. Standard burners are provided with single-stage 3450 rpm fuel units with the bypass plug removed for single-pipe installations. 2. A supply line fuel oil filter is recommended as a minimum for all firing rates but a pleated paper fuel oil filter is recommended for the lowest firing rate application to prevent nozzle fouling. 2.

If this does not stop the dripping, remove cut off valve and seat, and wipe both with a clean cloth until clean. Then replace and readjust oil pressure. If dripping or after burn persist replace fuel pump. instrumentation to obtain a CO2 of 11.5 to 12.5% with draft of -.02” w.c. in fire box. These settings will assure a safe and efficient operating condition.
oil is harder to atomize at the nozzle. Thus, the spray droplets get larger and the flame shape gets longer. An outside fuel tank that is above grade or has fuel lines buried in the ground above the frost line is a good candidate for cold oil. The best solution is to place the tank and oil lines in the ground below the frost line. extreme case may become a fire hazard. d.
4. CHECK LOW WATER CUTOFF (if so equipped). a. Adjust thermostat to highest setting. b. With boiler operating, open drain valve and slowly drain boiler. c. Burner should stop when water level drops below low water cutoff probe. Verify limit, thermostat or other controls have not shut off boiler. a. Simulate flame failure: • • • • Follow the starting procedure to turn on the burner. Close the hand valve in the oil supply line. Safety switch should lock out in approximately 15 seconds.

VIII. Service and Cleaning 1. CLEAN THE FIRETUBES NOTICE a. Disconnect electric to burner and remove stack. b. For access to the firetubes, pull top jacket panel off. Loosen wing nuts, that hold canopy down. Without taking wing nuts off carriage bolts, disengage bolts from slots on tubesheet. Pull canopy off.
