WARNING

This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained

in this manual.

Improper installation, adjustment, alteration, service or maintenance can cause property damage, personal

injury or loss of life. Read and understand the entire manual before attempting installation, start-up

operation, or service. Installation and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled, and

knowledgeable installer or service agency.

This boiler must be properly vented.

This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate

combustion and ventilation air.

The interior of the venting system must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season

and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions. A clean and

unobstructed venting system is necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss of life

to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler’s efciency.

Installation is not complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the tapping located on top of

appliance. - See the Water Piping and Trim Section of this manual for details.

This boiler is supplied with safety devices which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start

without service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left

unattended in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating

system to prevent damage if the boiler is inoperative.

This boiler contains very hot water under high pressure. Do not unscrew any pipe ttings nor attempt

to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no

pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this

boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the

temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when

the boiler is operating. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.

Boiler materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy metals,

carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which can cause

death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects and

other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when servicing

or working nearby the appliance.

Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or death. Read all instruc-

tions, including all those contained in component manufacturers manuals which are provided with the

boiler before installing, starting up, operating, maintaining or servicing.

Keep boiler area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline and other ammable vapors or

liquids.

All cover plates, enclosures and guards must be in place at all times.

WARNING

If you do not follow these instructions exactly,

a re or explosion may result causing property

damage or personal injury.

DANGER

Do not install boiler where gasoline or other

ammable vapors or liquids, or sources of

hydrocarbons (i.e. bleaches, cleaners, chemicals,

sprays, paint removers, fabric softeners, etc.) are

used or stored.

NOTICE

Due to the low water content of the boiler, mis-

sizing of the boiler with regard to the heating

system load will result in excessive boiler cycling

and accelerated component failure. Burnham

DOES NOT warrant failures caused by mis-sized

boiler applications. DO NOT oversize the boiler to

the system. Modular boiler installations greatly

reduce the likelihood of boiler oversizing.

A. Installation must conform to the requirements of the

authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such

requirements, installation must conform to the National

Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1, and/or CAN/

CSA B149.1 Installation Codes.

B. Appliance is design certied for installation on

combustible ooring. Do not install boiler on

carpeting.

C. Provide clearance between boiler jacket and

combustible material in accordance with local re

ordinance. Refer to Figure 1 for minimum listed

clearance from combustible material. Recommended

service clearance is 24 inches from left side, right

side and front. Service clearances may be reduced to

minimum clearances to combustible materials.

D. Install on level oor. For basement installation provide

solid base such as concrete, if oor is not level or if

water may be encountered on oor around boiler. Floor

must be able to support weight of boiler, water and all

additional system components.

E. Protect gas ignition system components from water

(dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during boiler operation

and service (circulator replacement, condensate trap,

control replacement, etc.).

I. Pre-Installation

F. Provide combustion and ventilation air in accordance

with applicable provisions of local building codes,

or: USA - National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI

Z223.1, Air for Combustion and Ventilation;

Canada - Natural Gas or Propane Installation Code,

CAN/CSA-B149.1.

WARNING

Adequate combustion and ventilation air must

be provided to assure proper combustion.

The following guideline is based on the National Fuel Gas

Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

1. Determine volume of space (boiler room). Rooms

communicating directly with space (through

openings not furnished with doors) are considered

part of space.

Volume [ft³] = Length [ft] x Width [ft] x Height [ft]

2. Determine Total Input of all appliances in space.

Round result to nearest 1,000 Btu per hour (Btuh).

3. Determine type of space. Divide Volume by Total

Input.

a. If result is greater than or equal to 50 ft³ per

1,000 Btuh, space is considered an unconned

space.

b. If result is less than 50 ft³ per 1,000 Btuh, space

is considered a conned space.

4. Determine building type. A building of unusually

tight construction has the following characteristics:

a. Walls and ceiling exposed to outside atmosphere

have a continuous water vapor retarder with a

rating of 1 perm or less with openings gasketed

and sealed, and;

b. Weather-stripping has been added on openable

windows and doors, and;

c. Caulking or sealants applied in joints around

window and door frames, between sill plates and

oors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall

panels, at plumbing and electrical penetrations,

and at other openings.

5. For boiler located in an unconned space in a

building of other than unusually tight construction,

adequate combustion and ventilation air is normally

provided by fresh air inltration through cracks

around windows and doors.

6. For boiler located within unconned space in

building of unusually tight construction or within

conned space, provide outdoor air through two

permanent openings which communicate directly or

space(s) of sufcient volume such that combined

volume of all spaces meet criteria for unconned

space. Size each opening for minimum free area

of one (1) square inch per 1,000 Btu per hour

input of all equipment in spaces, but not less than

100 square inches.

7. Combustion Air/Ventilation Duct Louvers and

Grilles. Equip outside openings with louvers to

prevent entrance of rain and snow, and screens to

prevent entrance of insects and rodents. Louvers and

grilles must be xed in open position or interlocked

with equipment to open automatically before burner

operation. Screens must not be smaller than ¼ inch

mesh.

Consider the blocking effect of louvers, grilles and

screens when calculating the opening size to provide

the required free area. If free area of louver or grille

is not known, assume wood louvers have 20-25

percent free area and metal louvers and grilles have

60-75 percent free area.

II. Unpack Boiler

CAUTION

Do not drop boiler. Do not bump boiler jacket

against oor.

A. Move boiler to approximate installed position.

B. Remove all crate fasteners.

C. Lift and remove outside container. Save two of the

wooden slats from the container sleeve for use in Steps

E and F.

D. Remove all boiler hold-down fasteners.

WARNING

Installation of this boiler should be undertaken

only by trained and skilled personnel from a

qualied service agency.

E. Tilt the boiler to its front side or back side and slide a

wooden slat under the three raised feet.

F. Tilt the boiler in the opposite direction and slide

another wooden slat under the three raised feet.

G. Slide the boiler left or right off the skid using the two

wooden slats as runners.

H. Move boiler to its permanent location.

by duct with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic)

freely communicating with the outdoors. Locate one

opening within twelve (12) inches of top of space.

Locate remaining opening within twelve (12) inches

of bottom of space. Minimum dimension of air

opening is three (3) inches. Size each opening per

following:

a. Direct communication with outdoors. Minimum

free area of one (1) square inch per 4,000 Btu per

hour input of all equipment in space.

b. Vertical ducts. Minimum free area of one (1)

square inch per 4,000 Btu per hour input of all

equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional area

shall be same as opening free area.

c. Horizontal ducts. Minimum free area of one (1)

square inch per 2,000 Btu per hour input of all

equipment in space. Duct cross-sectional area

shall be same as opening free area.

Alternate method for boiler located within

conned space. Use indoor air if two permanent

openings communicate directly with additional

CAUTION

Avoid operating this boiler in an environment where saw dust, loose insulation bers, dry wall dust, etc.

are present. If boiler is operated under these conditions, the burner interior and ports must be cleaned and

inspected daily to insure proper operation.

A. Vent Guidelines Due to Removal of an Existing

Boiler

For installations not involving the replacement of an

existing boiler, proceed to Step B.

When an existing boiler is removed from a common

venting system, the common venting system is likely

to be too large for proper venting of the remaining

appliances. At the time of removal of an existing

boiler, the following steps shall be followed with each

appliance remaining connected to the common venting

system placed in operation, while the other appliances

remaining connected to the common venting system are

not in operation:

1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting

system.

2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper

size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no

blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion, and other

deciencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

3. Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and

windows and all doors between the space in which

the appliances remaining connected to the common

venting system are located and other spaces of the

building. Turn on clothes dryers and any appliance

not connected to the common venting system.

Turn on any exhaust fans, such as range-hoods and

bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum

speed. Do not operate a summer exhaust fan. Close

replace dampers.

4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.

Follow the Lighting (or Operating) Instructions.

Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate

continuously.

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening

after ve (5) minutes of main burner operation. Use

the ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a

cigarette, cigar or pipe.

6. After it has been determined that each appliance

remaining connected to the common venting system

properly vents when tested as outlined above, return

doors, windows, exhaust fans, replace dampers and

any other gas burning appliance to their previous

conditions of use.

7. Any improper operation of the common venting

system should be corrected so the installation

conforms with the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA

54/ANSI Z223.1. When resizing any portion of the

common venting system, the common venting

system should be resized to approach the minimum

size as determined using the appropriate tables in

Part II in the National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/

ANSI Z223.1.

B. General Guidelines

1. Vent system installation must be in accordance

with National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI

Z221.3 or applicable provisions of local building

codes. Contact local building or re ofcials about

restrictions and installation inspection in your area.

2. Refer to the appropriate drawings in this section of

this manual to determine the proper conguration of

venting system. See Table 1.

3. This appliance requires a Special Gas Vent. The

product is designed to use Burnham supplied AL29-4C®

Stainless Steel vent system components. The following

manufacturers offer similar AL 29-4C® components

and are approved for use with this product. Heat-Fab

Inc. - Saf-T-Vent (800-772-0739); Flex-L International

Inc. - Star-34 (800-561-1980); Z-Flex U. S., Inc.

- Z-Vent (800-654-5600); and Protech Systems, Inc.-

FasNSeal™ (800-766-3473) or equivalent. The use

of these alternate manufacturer’s venting systems will

require adapters to connect to the Burnham supplied

vent connector and vent terminal. These adapters are

not supplied with this unit and should be obtained from

the supplier of the alternate manufacturer’s venting

system. See Table 3 for complete list of Burnham

Vent System Components.

4. Horizontal vent pipe must maintain a minimum ¼

inch per foot slope away from boiler.

5. Use noncombustible ¾ inch pipe strap to support

horizontal runs and maintain vent location and

slope while preventing sags in pipe. Do not restrict

thermal expansion or movement of vent system.

Maximum support spacing is ve (5) feet. Do not

penetrate any part of the vent system with fasteners.

6. Vent length restrictions are based on equivalent

length of vent pipe (total length of straight pipe

plus equivalent length of ttings). Maximum

vent lengths are listed in Table 4. Do not exceed

maximum vent lengths. Table 3 lists equivalent

lengths for ttings. Do not include vent terminals in

equivalent feet calculations.

7. Provide and maintain vent pipe minimum clearances

to combustible materials. Vent pipe minimum

clearance to combustible material is four (4) inches

when vent is installed in a fully enclosed (chase)

application or three (3) inches when vent is installed

with at least one side open, similar to a joist bay

application. Use double wall thimble [Burnham

Part No. 8116115 (3”), 100185-01 (4”)] when

penetrating a combustible wall.

8. Do not install venting system components on

the exterior of the building except as specically

required by these instructions. The vent termination

location is restricted as follows:

a. Minimum twelve (12) inches above grade plus

normally expected snow accumulation level, or

seven (7) feet above grade if located adjacent

to public walkway. Do not install over public

walkway where local experience indicates

appliance ue gas vapor or condensate creates a

nuisance or hazard.

b. Minimum three (3) feet above any forced air

inlet located within ten (10) feet.

c. Minimum four (4) feet below, four (4) feet

horizontally from, or four (4) feet above any

door, window, or gravity air inlet.

d. Minimum four (4) feet horizontally from electric

meters, gas meters, regulators, and relief valves.

This distance may be reduced if equipment is

protected from damage due to condensation or

vapor by enclosure, overhangs, etc.

e. Minimum twelve (12) inches from overhang or

corner of building.

9. Enclose vent passing through occupied or

unoccupied spaces above the boiler with material

having a re resistance rating of at least equal to the

rating of the adjoining oor or ceiling. Maintain

minimum clearances to combustible materials. See

Figure 1.

Note: For one or two family dwellings, re

resistance rating requirement may not need to be

met, but is recommended.

10. Plan venting system to avoid possible contact with

plumbing or electrical wires. Start at vent connector

on top of boiler and work towards vent terminal.

11. Once a vent pipe manufacturer and system is chosen

never mix and match vent systems.

12. If a non-standard length pipe is required:

Gasketed Vent System: The use of the adjustable

length pipe (P/N 8116319U) is recommended to

complete a non-standard pipe length. This pipe

requires a minimum installed length of 12¾ inch

and can adjust across a 7 inch gap up to a maximum

of 19¾ inch long. (Note for the adjustable pipe

the installed length should be measured from the

centerline of the bead on the male end of the rst

pipe to the end of the female pipe excluding the

locking band of the second pipe with a single

gasket.) Only in the event the adjustable length pipe

is not sufcient a standard length pipe may be cut

using the procedure outlined below for the Gasket-

Less Vent System.

WARNING

Never exceed maximum installed length of 19¾

inches for adjustable length pipe.

Risk of ue gas leakage is possible.

NOTICE

Cut must be square with pipe and led or

sanded smooth before joining. Carefully ensure

roundness of cut pipe by hand with gloves before

installing. Seal joint with RTV specied in this

manual.

A low water cutoff is required to protect a hot water

boiler when any connected heat distributor (radiation)

is installed below the top of the hot water boiler (i.e.

baseboard on the same oor level as the boiler). In

addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a LWCO

with a hot water boiler.

IV. Water Piping and Trim

Where

The universal location for a LWCO on both gas and oil

hot water boilers is above the boiler, in either the supply

or return piping. The minimum safe water level of a

water boiler is at the uppermost top of the boiler; that is,

it must be full of water to operate safely.

What Kind

The PVG boiler is designed to accept the wiring of the

Safgard Model 1100-H4 LWCO (P/N 100592-01). This

is a probe type LWCO. The factory wiring is designed

to allow simple “Plug-in” installation of the wiring.

How to Pipe

A “tee” is commonly used to connect the probe LWCO

to the supply or return piping, as shown below.

LWCO Location

Select the appropriate size tee using the LWCO

manufacturer’s instructions. Often, the branch

connection must have a minimum diameter to prevent

bridging between the probe and the tee. Also, the run

of the tee must have a minimum diameter to prevent

the end of the probe from touching or being located too

close to the inside wall of the run of the tee.

Ideally, manual shutoff valves should be located

above the LWCO and the boiler to allow for servicing.

This will allow probe removal for inspection without

draining the heating system. Many probe LWCO

manufacturers recommend an annual inspection of the

probe.

WARNING

Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper operation and damage to boiler or structure.

Oxygen contamination of boiler water will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler components, and

can lead to boiler failure. Burnham’s Standard Warranty does not cover problems caused by oxygen

contamination of boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent addition of water.

How to Wire

Ensure power is turned off to boiler.

Locate the LWCO jumper wire in the factory wiring

harness. Remove the jumper wire and install

the LWCO wiring from LWCO Model 1100-H4

(P/N 100592-01) into the plug of the PVG factory

wiring.

How to Test

Shut off fuel supply. Lower water level until water

level is BELOW the LWCO. Generate a boiler demand

by turning up thermostat. Boiler should not attempt to

operate. Increase the water level by lling the system.

The boiler should attempt to operate once the water

level is above the LWCO.

NOTICE

Ensure the location of the LWCO in the piping will

allow for connection of the LWCO wiring harness

to the factory wiring of the PVG.

C. Connect system supply and return piping to

boiler. See Figures 11 and 12. Maintain minimum ½

inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible

materials.

NOTICE

Burnham recommends sizing the system

circulator to supply sufcient ow (GPM) to allow a

20°F temperature differential in the system. When

sizing the system circulator, the pressure drop of

all radiators, baseboard and radiant tubing and all

connecting piping must be considered.

D. Install circulator with anges, gaskets and bolts

provided. Circulator harness allows circulator to be

mounted on supply or return. Connect harness to

circulator and secure any excess conduit.

E. Install supply manifold, pressure/temperature gauge

and pressure relief valve.

See Figure 10A. Pressure Relief Valve must be installed

with spindle in vertical position. Installation of the

relief valve must comply with the ASME Boiler and

Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV.

Figure 10: Recommended Piping for Combination

Heating & Cooling (Refrigeration) System

WARNING

Pressure relief valve discharge piping must be

piped such that the potential of severe burns

is eliminated. DO NOT pipe in any area where

freezing could occur. DO NOT install any shut-off

valves, plugs or caps. Consult Local Codes for

proper discharge piping arrangement.

F. Space heating and domestic water heating with

Alliance™ water heater. Install Alliance water heater as

a separate heating zone. Refer to Alliance Installation,

Operating and Service Instructions for additional

information.

G. If boiler is used in connection with refrigeration

systems, boiler must be installed with chilled medium

piped in parallel with the heating boiler using

appropriate valves to prevent chilled medium from

entering boiler, see Figure 10.

H. If boiler is connected to heating coils located in

air handling units where they may be exposed to

refrigerated air, boiler piping must be equipped with

ow control valves to prevent gravity circulation of

boiler water during operation of cooling system.

I. Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be operated

in a system which has a large volume or excessive

radiation where low boiler water temperatures may be

encountered (i.e. converted gravity circulation system,

etc.).

Install pipe tee between circulator and boiler return

along with second tee in supply piping as shown in

Figure 11 or 12. Bypass should be same size as the

supply and return lines with valves located in bypass

and supply outlet as illustrated in Figure 11 or 12 in

order to regulate water ow to maintain higher boiler

water temperatures.

After the boiler is operational (reference Section VIII.

System Start-Up) set by-pass and boiler supply valves

to half throttle position to start. Operate boiler until

system water temperature reaches normal operating

range.

Adjust valves to provide 180° to 200°F supply water

temperature. Opening the boiler supply valve will raise

system temperature, while opening the by-pass valve

will lower system supply temperature.

J. After the boiler and system have been cleaned and

ushed, and before relling the entire system add

appropriate water treatment chemicals, if necessary, to

bring the pH between 7 and 11.

K. If it is required to perform a long term pressure

test of the hydronic system, the boiler should rst be

isolated to avoid a pressure loss due to the escape of air

trapped in the boiler.

To perform a long term pressure test including the

boiler, ALL trapped air must rst be removed from the

boiler.

A loss of pressure during such a test, with no visible

water leakage, is an indication that the boiler contained

trapped air.

For materials or conditions other than those listed

above, refer to National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA54/ANSI

Z223.1, or size system using standard engineering

methods acceptable to authority having jurisdiction.

Table 6: Specic Gravity Correction Factors for

Natural Gas

WARNING

Failure to properly pipe gas supply to boiler may

result in improper operation and damage to the

boiler or structure. Always assure gas piping is

absolutely leak free and of the proper size and

type for the connected load.

An additional gas pressure regulator may be

needed. Consult gas supplier.

A. Size gas piping. Design system to provide adequate gas

supply to boiler. Consider these factors:

1. Allowable pressure drop from point of delivery to

boiler. Maximum allowable system pressure is ½

psig. Actual point of delivery pressure may be less;

contact gas supplier for additional information.

Minimum gas valve inlet pressure is stamped on

the rating label located in the boiler’s vestibule

compartment.

2. Maximum gas demand. Refer to the boiler’s input as

printed on its rating label. Also consider existing and

expected future gas utilization equipment (i.e. water

heater, cooking equipment).

3. Length of piping and number of ttings. Refer to

Table 7 for maximum capacity of Schedule 40 pipe.

Table 8 lists equivalent pipe length for standard

ttings.

4. Corrections for the specic gravity of natural gas

can be found in Table 6.

NOTICE

PVG boilers built for altitudes greater than 4,999 feet above sea level need to be specially oriced to adjust for

changes in atmospheric conditions. The PVG boiler “H” Model has been certied to operate in atmospheric

conditions from 5,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level. Input is derated by 10% for applications at 5,000 feet

above sea level, and 20% for applications at 10,000 feet above sea levels. Derate is based on 2% reduction

per 1000 feet.

The PVG boiler is available in two (2) altitude Models: The “S” Model 0 to 4,999 feet above sea level, and the

“H” Model 5,000 to 10,000 feet above sea level.

For applications above 10,000 feet, consult the manufacturer.

4. All above ground gas piping upstream from manual

shut-off valve must be electrically continuous and

bonded to a grounding electrode. Do not use gas

piping as grounding electrode. Refer to National

Electrical Code, NFPA 70.

C. Pressure test. The boiler and its gas connection must

be leak tested before placing boiler in operation.

1. Protect boiler gas control valve. For all testing over

½ psig, boiler and its individual shutoff valve must

be disconnected from gas supply piping. For testing

at ½ psig or less, isolate boiler from gas supply

piping by closing boiler’s individual manual shutoff

valve.

2. Locate leaks using approved combustible gas

detector, soap and water, or similar nonammable

solution.

DANGER

Do not use matches, candles, open ames or

other ignition source to check for leaks.

VI. Electrical

A. General. Install wiring and electrically ground boiler

in accordance with authority having jurisdiction or, in

the absence of such requirements, follow the National

Electrical Code, NFPA 70, and/or CSA C22.1 Electrical

Code.

B. A separate electrical circuit must be run from

the main electrical service with an over-current

device/disconnect in the circuit. A service switch is

recommended and may be required by some local

jurisdictions. Install the service switch in the line

voltage “Hot” leg of the power supply. Locate the

service switch such that the boiler can be shut-off

without exposing personnel to danger in the event of

an emergency. Connect the main power supply and

ground to the three (3) boiler wires (black, white and

green) located in the junction box at the inside top of

the boiler jacket. If a low water cutoff is to be used,

connect the low water cutoff so that all 120V power

to boiler is interrupted if the low water cutoff’s switch

opens.

C. Refer to Figures 14 and 15 for details on the internal

boiler wiring.

DANGER

Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or service of

electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical boxes with padlock

once power is turned off.

WARNING

Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm.

Electrical power may be from more than one source. Make sure all power is off before attempting any

electrical work.

Each boiler must be protected with a properly sized over-current device.

Never jump out or make inoperative any safety or operating controls.

The wiring diagrams contained in this manual are for reference purposes only. Each boiler is shipped with

a wiring diagram attached to the front door. Refer to this diagram and the wiring diagram of any controls

used with the boiler. Read, understand and follow all wiring instructions supplied with the controls.

NOTICE

This boiler is equipped with a high water temperature limit located inside the internal wiring of the boiler.

This limit provides boiler shutdown in the event the boiler water temperature exceeds the set point of the

limit control. Certain Local Codes require an additional water temperature limit. In addition, certain types

of systems may operate at temperatures below the minimum set point of the limit contained in the boiler.

If this occurs, install an additional water temperature limit (Honeywell L4006 Aquastat) located in the system

piping as shown in the Water Piping and Trim Section of this manual. Wire as indicated in the Electrical

Section of this manual.

NOTICE

All wire, wire nuts, controls etc. are installer supplied unless otherwise noted.

Figure 14: Internal Boiler Wiring Schematic Diagram

NOTICE

If an additional system limit is used, install in series with the auxiliary limit jumper shown in the drawing

below.

D. System Controls and Wiring

1. Refer to National Electric Code or Local Electric Codes for proper size and type of wire required. Follow Code.

2. Use anti-short bushings on all wiring passing through boiler jacket, junction boxes and/or control boxes.

3. Use armored cable (BX) over all exposed line voltage wiring.

4. If an Alliance™ indirect water heater is used, use priority zoning except for Hydro-Air Systems.

5. Single Zone Heating System – Refer to Figure 16 of this manual for the electrical diagram for this type of system.

Set the thermostat heat anticipator to 0.60 amps.

6. Single Zone Heating System with Alliance™ Water Heater - Refer to Figure 17 of this manual for the electrical diagram

for this type of system.

Set the thermostat heat anticipator to 0.60 amps.

7. Conventional Circulator Zoned System – Refer to Figure 18 of this manual for the electrical diagram for this type of

system.

Read, understand and follow all of the instructions provided with the Honeywell R8888 control.

Connect the thermostat of each zone and the circulator for that zone to R8888 panel. If an Alliance™ indirect water

heater is used, connect the Alliance™ thermostat and circulator to the Zone 1 terminals of the R8888.

Set the thermostat heat anticipator to 0.12 amps.

NOTICE

The Honeywell R8888 Control is available in a three (3) zone Model (R8888A) and a four (4) zone Model

(R8888B). Up to four (4) R8888’s may be used together to provide control for up to twelve (12) individual

zones. Only one (1) zone, the rst zone of the main control, will provide priority circulation. If more than

four (4) zones are required, connect additional R8888’s by wiring the A, B, and C terminals of each control

together. Each R8888 requires a 120 volt power supply. If more than one (1) R8888 is used, set the panel

type switch to “main” on the rst R8888 and set the panel type switch to “expansion” on the second, third

or fourth R8888.

8. Conventional Zone Valve Zoned System – Refer to Figure 19. Wiring to the most popular models of zone valves is given

in Figure 20.

Connect the thermostat of each zone and the zone valve for that zone to the R8889 control. If an Alliance™ indirect water

heater is used, connect the Alliance™ thermostat and zone valve to the “zone 1” terminals of the R8889.

Set the thermostat heat anticipator to 0.12 amps.

NOTICE

The Honeywell R8889 Control is available in two three (3) zone models and two four (4) zone models.

Burnham recommends using Model R8889A for three (3) zone systems and Model R8889B for four (4) zone

systems. Models R8889C and R8889D have less load capacity and may not operate with certain types of

zone valves. Up to four (4) R8889’s may be used together to provide up to sixteen (16) individual zones.

Only one (1) zone, the rst zone of the main control will provide priority zoning for the Alliance indirect

water heater. If more than four (4) zones are required, connect additional R8889’s by wiring the A, B and

C terminals of each control together. Each R8889 requires a 120 volt power supply. If more than one (1)

R8889 is used, set the panel type switch to “main” on the rst R8889 and set the panel type switch to

“expansion” on the second, third or fourth R8889.

A. General Guidelines

1. Read and follow all venting, combustion air,

water piping, gas piping and electrical instructions

contained in this manual unless otherwise instructed

in this section.

2. Consult Local Building Codes or National Fuel Gas

Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z222.3 for restrictions and

instructions on modular boiler installations.

B. Module Sizing

Burnham recommends sizing each boiler in a modular

system to provide 20 % of the combined heating load

where ever possible.

C. Venting

1. Each boiler must have an individual vent pipe.

Refer to Venting Section of this manual for venting

guidelines and options.

WARNING

Do not manifold vent pipes together.

2. The maximum vent length for each boiler is fty

(50) equivalent feet.

3. The minimum horizontal distance between vent

terminations is one (1) foot. Additional horizontal

distance is desirable to avoid frost damage to the

building. Vent terminations must be at least twelve

(12) inches above the ground plus the expected

snow accumulation.

CAUTION

Installing multiple vent terminations close

together promotes frost buildup on buildings.

To minimize this possibility, extend the distance

from the building to the end of the vent

termination and increase the horizontal distance

between terminations.

4. Multiple vertical vent pipes may be piped through

a common conduit or chase so that one roof

penetration may be made. Each vent termination

must be one (1) foot from other terminations.

D. Water Piping (See Table 9 and Figure 21)

Installing a low water cutoff in the system piping of

modular systems is strongly recommended and may be

required by Local Codes.

E. Gas Piping

1. Refer to National Fuel Gas Code, Local Codes and

Tables 7 and 8 for gas pipe sizing.

VII. Modular Installation

Table 9: Modular Boiler Water Manifold Sizing

2. Each boiler must be piped as shown in Figure 13.

WARNING

If gas pressure in the building is above ½ psig,

an additional gas pressure regulator is required.

Using one additional regulator for multiple

boilers may result in unsafe boiler operation.

The additional regulator must be able to properly

regulate gas pressure at the input of the smallest

boiler. If the regulator cannot do this, two or

more additional regulators are required. Consult

regulator manufacturer and/or local gas supplier

for instructions and equipment ratings.

F. Electrical

1. Each boiler must be provided with a fused

disconnect and service switch.

2. Install wiring in accordance with requirements of

authority having jurisdiction. In the absence of such

requirements, follow the National Electric Code,

NFPA 70 and/or CSA C22.1 Electric Code.

G. Modular Boiler Control Systems

Contact a controls manufacturer such as Honeywell or

Tekmar to properly apply a modular control system.

Common systems may use outdoor temperature, return

water temperature or both to stage the boilers.

E. Fill entire heating system with water and vent air

from system. Use the following procedure on a Series

Loop or multi-zoned system installed as per Figure 11

or 12 to remove air from system when lling.

WARNING

The maximum operating pressure of this boiler

is 30 psig. Never exceed this pressure. Do not

plug or change pressure relief valve.

NOTICE

If it is required to perform a long term pressure

test of the hydronic system, the boiler should

rst be isolated to avoid a pressure loss due to

the escape of air trapped in the boiler.

To perform a long term pressure test including

the boiler, ALL trapped air must rst be removed

from the boiler.

A loss of pressure during such a test, with no

visible water leakage, is an indication that the

boiler contained trapped air.

1. Close full port ball valve in boiler supply piping.

2. Isolate all zones by closing zone valves or shut-off

valves in supply and return of each zone(s).

3. Attach a hose to the vertical hose bib located prior to

the full port ball valve in the system supply piping.

(Note - Terminate hose in ve gallon bucket at a

suitable oor drain or outdoor area).

VIII. System Start-up

4. Starting with one circuit at a time, open zone valve

or shut-off valve in system supply and return piping.

5. Open hose bib.

6. Open ll valve (Make-up water line should be

located directly after full port ball valve in system

supply piping between air scoop and expansion

tank).

7. Allow water to overow from bucket until discharge

from hose is bubble free for 30 seconds.

8. Close the opened zone valve or shut-off valve for

the zone being purged of air, then open the zone

valve or shut-off valve for the next zone to be

purged. Repeat this step until all zones have been

purged. At completion, open all zone valves or

shut-off valves.

9. Close hose bib, continue lling the system until the

pressure gauge reads 12 psi. Close ll valve.

(Note - If make-up water line is equipped with

pressure reducing valve, system will automatically

ll to 12 psi. Follow ll valve manufacturer’s

instructions).

10. Open isolation valve in boiler supply piping.

11. Remove hose from hose bib.

F. Conrm that the boiler and system have no water

leaks.

G. Prepare to check operation.

1. Obtain gas heating value (in Btu per cubic foot)

from gas supplier.

2. Connect manometer to pressure tap on gas valve.

Use 1/8 NPT tapping provided.

3. Temporarily turn off all other gas-red appliances.

4. Turn on gas supply to the boiler gas piping.

5. Conrm that the supply pressure to the gas valve is

14 in. w.c. or less. Refer to Table 5 for minimum

supply pressure.

6. Open the eld installed manual gas shut-off valve

located upstream of the gas valve on the boiler.

7. Using soap solution, or similar non-combustible

solution, electronic leak detector or other approved

method. Check that boiler gas piping valves, and

all other components are leak free. Eliminate any

leaks.

Figure 25: Sequence of Operation

L. Check thermostat operation. Raise and lower

temperature setting to start and stop boiler operation.

M. Check ignition control module shut-off. Disconnect

pilot lead wires from gas valve. If burners do not

shutdown, determine cause of malfunction. Replace

necessary items and check operation.

N. Check low water cutoff (if so equipped).

1. Adjust thermostat to highest setting.

2. With boiler operating, open drain valve and slowly

drain boiler.

3. Main burners and pilot burner will extinguish and

blower will stop when water level drops below low

water cutoff probe. Verify limit, thermostat or other

controls have not shut off boiler.

4. Adjust thermostat to lowest setting. Rell boiler.

O. Check limit.

1. Adjust thermostat to highest setting.

2. Observe temperature gauge. When temperature is

indicated, adjust limit to setting below observed

Table 13: Gas Flow Rate in Cubic Feet

Per Hour

temperature. Main burners and pilot burner should

extinguish, and blower should stop.

3. Adjust limit to setting above observed temperature.

Ignition sequence should begin.

4. Adjust thermostat to lowest setting. Adjust limit to

desired setting.

P. Adjust gas input rate to boiler.

1. Adjust thermostat to highest setting.

2. Check manifold gas pressure. See Table 5 or rating

label located in the boiler’s vestibule compartment.

Adjust gas valve pressure regulator as necessary

(turn adjustment screw counterclockwise to

decrease manifold pressure, or clockwise to increase

manifold pressure). If pressure cannot be attained,

check gas valve inlet pressure. If less than minimum

indicated in Table 5 or boiler’s rating label, contact

gas supplier for assistance.

3. Clock gas meter for at least 30 seconds. Use Table

13 to determine gas ow rate in Cubic Feet per

Hour.

WARNING

Failure to properly adjust gas input rate will result

in over ring or under ring of the appliance.

Improper and unsafe boiler operation may result.

4. Determine Input Rate. Multiply gas ow rate by gas

heating value.

5. Compare measured input rate to input rate stated on

rating plate.

a. Boiler must not be over red. Reduce input rate

by decreasing manifold pressure. Do not reduce

more than 0.3 inch w.c. If boiler is still overred,

contact your Burnham distributor or Regional

Ofce for replacement Gas Orice.

b. Increase input rate if less than 98% of rating

plate input. Increase manifold gas pressure no

more than 0.3 inch w.c. If measured input rate is

still less than 98% of rated input:

i. Remove Main Burners per procedure in

Section IX: Service.

ii. Remove gas orices. Drill one (1) drill size

larger (drill size is stamped on orice, or see

Section X: Repair Parts).

iii. Reinstall gas orices and main burners.

Measure input rate.

6. Recheck Main Burner Flame.

7. Return other gas-red appliances to previous

conditions of use.

Q. Review User’s Information Manual and system

operation with owner or operator.

Important Product Safety Information

Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product

Warning:

The Repair Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers

(RCF). RCF has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When

exposed to temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact,

RCF changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen. When disturbed as a

result of servicing or repair, these substances become airborne and, if inhaled,

may be hazardous to your health.

AVOID Breathing Fiber Particulates and Dust

Precautionary Measures:

Do not remove or replace RCF parts or attempt any service or repair work

involving RCF without wearing the following protective gear:

1. A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

approved respirator

2. Long sleeved, loose fitting clothing

3. Gloves

4. Eye Protection

• Take steps to assure adequate ventilation.

• Wash all exposed body areas gently with soap and water after contact.

• Wash work clothes separately from other laundry and rinse washing

machine after use to avoid contaminating other clothes.

• Discard used RCF components by sealing in an airtight plastic bag. RCF

and crystalline silica are not classified as hazardous wastes in the United

States and Canada.

First Aid Procedures:

• If contact with eyes: Flush with water for at least 15 minutes. Seek

immediate medical attention if irritation persists.

• If contact with skin: Wash affected area gently with soap and water.

Seek immediate medical attention if irritation persists.

notify the installer, who will in turn notify the distributor. If this action is

not possible or does not produce a prompt response, the owner should

Lancaster, PA 17604, giving full particulars in support of the claim.

The owner is required to make available for inspection by U.S. Boiler

requested by U.S. Boiler Co., Inc. to ship these parts prepaid to U.S.

Boiler Co., Inc. at the above address for inspection or repair. In addition,

the owner agrees to make all reasonable efforts to settle any disagree-

ment arising in connection with a claim before resorting to legal remedies
