USING THIS MANUAL USING THIS MANUAL A. INSTALLATION CLEARANCE Follow the installation instructions provided in this manual in the order shown. The order of these instructions has been set in order to provide the installer with a logical sequence of steps that will minimize potential interferences and maximize safety during boiler installation. DANGER Indicates a condition or hazard which will cause severe personal injury, death or major property damage.
PREINSTALLATION 1. PREINSTALLATION Read carefully, study these instructions before beginning work. It will save time. Study the included drawings. Save these instructions for reference. This boiler must be installed by a qualified contractor. The boiler warranty can be voided if the boiler is not installed, maintained and serviced correctly.
PREINSTALLATION C. CHIMNEY / VENT AND DRAFT CONTROL CAUTION An oil-fired unit shall be connected to a flue having sufficient draft at all times, to assure safe proper operation of the unit. 1. Draft Requirement – Minimum draft required in the vent system is -.03" to -.05" W.C. depending on boiler model, see Table 7.1 (Section 7). This draft is necessary to provide the necessary draft over fire of -.01" to -.02" W.C. See discussion in paragraph 5 below regarding draft. 2.
BOILER PLACEMENT AND ASSEMBLY 2. BOILER PLACEMENT AND ASSEMBLY A. SETTING THE BOILER 1. Provide a level foundation, located as close as possible to the center of the heating system. NOTICE Be sure rubber gasket is in place between cover plate or water heater plate and boiler section. E. JACKET ASSEMBLY 2. Refer to Figure 2.2 for exploded view of boiler while checking and/or assembling parts of the boiler. 3. See clearance information in Section 1, "Preinstallation." 4.
BOILER PLACEMENT AND ASSEMBLY Figure 2.2: Boiler Exploded View (See Table 8.1 in Section 8 for parts identification).
PIPING AND CONTROLS 3. PIPING AND CONTROLS NOTICE Do not pipe boiler before jacket is installed. EQUALIZER A. PRESSURE TEST BLOCK ASSEMBLY 1. Make up cold water supply connection to the boiler. 2. Install pressure gauge or pressure-temperature gauge in tapping provided. See Boiler Dimensional drawing, Figure 7.1 (Section 7). 3. Plug all open tappings in the boiler and fill with water. Apply approximately thirty (30) psig pressure. Check to make certain that all joints and fittings are water tight. 4.
PIPING AND CONTROLS D. WATER BOILER PIPING 1. Refer to the Water Installation Survey and Hydronics Institute Residential Hydronic Heating Installation/Design Guide for Guidance. 2. The supply and return connections should be sized to suit the system. 3. Pipe the supply and return in one of two ways as shown in Figure 3.3: a. Pipe the supply from the top of the rear section and return to the bottom of the front section. Use the 3/4" tapping in the top of the back section for air elimination. b.
PIPING AND CONTROLS E. TANKLESS HEATER OR COVERPLATE 1. If a tankless coil is used (item 13 or 17), install as pictured. On water boilers, install in opening in front section. On steam boilers, install in opening in rear section. For suggested piping of tankless water heaters refer to Figures 3.6 and 3.7. 2. If not using a tankless coil, cover the heater opening with cover plate (item 12 or 16). NOTICE Be sure rubber gasket is in place between cover plate or water heater plate and boiler section. 3.
PIPING AND CONTROLS F. CONTROLS CAUTION Pipe the discharge of the safety valve or relief valve to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief. Pipe the discharge to a drain. Provide piping that is the same size as the relief valve. 1. Water Boiler Controls: Install the limit / operating control, pressuretemperature gauge and safety relief valve. See Figure 7.1 (Section 7) for proper location.
ELECTRICAL 4. ELECTRICAL 3. Install burner harness located in the burner carton. A. GENERAL All electrical wiring shall be done in accordance with the National Electrical Code and Local Requirements. Single pole switches including those of safety controls or protective devices shall not be wired in a grounded line. B. BURNER WIRING Beckett or Carlin – EC7022 Harness (21" conduit) Riello – EC7023 Harness (28" conduit) 4.

BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION 5. BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION CAUTION Burn only #2 Fuel Oil in this appliance. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings or any oil containing gasoline. A. BURNER INSTALLATION 1. The oil burner is supplied with a mounting flange fixed in position. 2. Mount the burner to the Burner Mounting Plate (item 3) with four (4) 5/16" studs and nuts provided. NOTICE Be sure hi temp gasket is between the burner mounting flange and the Burner Mounting Plate. 3.
BURNER SETUP & BOILER OPERATION E. CLEAN THE BOILER (STEAM BOILERS ONLY) 1. Clean the boiler within one week after initial start-up. Cleaning will be more effective if boiler operates a day or two to loosen sediment and impurities in system. 2. Boiler must be cleaned to remove any accumulation of oil, grease, sludge, etc. in the system. These substances can cause foaming and surging of boiler water, producing an unstable water line and water carryover to system.

MAINTENANCE 6. MAINTENANCE WARNING Product Safety Information Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product This appliance contains materials made from refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). Airborne RCF, when inhaled, have been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), as a possible carcinogen to humans. After the RCF materials have been exposed to temperatures above 1800°F, they can change into crystalline silica, which has been classified by the IARC as carcinogenic to humans.
MAINTENANCE A. GENERAL 1. Check pipes adjacent to cold walls or in unheated spaces. Insulate and tape them if necessary to be sure they can't freeze up. Keeping the water moving at all times will reduce the likelihood of freezing. 2. If there is considerable foreign matter in the boiler water, the boiler should be shut down and allowed to cool, then drained and thoroughly flushed out. Drain the boiler at the drain cock. Pipe the drain cock to a suitable drain or containment device (if antifreeze is used).
MAINTENANCE 3. Remove any scale or soot from the combustion chamber area by vacuum cleaning or any other available means. NOTICE Burner mounting plate must be opened to facilitate this operation. 4. Replace flue collector and close burner mounting plate, making sure all gaskets are in place. 5. Replace jacket top panel. NOTICE All cover plates, enclosures, and guards must be maintained in place at all times, except during maintenance and servicing. G. IF A LONG SHUTDOWN IS REQUIRED 1.
