III Before Installing

1) Safe, reliable operation of this boiler depends upon installation by a professional heating contractor in strict accordance

with this manual and the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction.

•In the absence of an authority having jurisdiction, installation must be in accordance with this manual and the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-latest edition.

•Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, this installation must conform to the Standard for Controls and

Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Boilers (ANSI/ASME CSD-1)-latest edition.

2) Make sure that a properly sized chimney is available which is in good condition. Consult the authority having jurisdiction,

Part VI of this manual, and the National Fuel Gas Code for additional information on venting requirements.

3) Make sure that the boiler is correctly sized. Use an industry accepted sizing method such as the I=B=R Installation

Guide for Residential Hydronic Heating Systems (Pub. #200) and I=B=R Heat Loss Calculation Guide (Pub. #H21 or

#H22) published by the Hydronics Institute in Berkeley Heights NJ.

4) Make sure that the boiler received is configured for the correct gas (natural or LP). The BSI345 and BSI379 may only be

used with natural gas.

5) Boilers installed at altitudes above 2000 ft. require different burners and main burner orifice than those at sea level. Make

sure that the boiler is configured for use at the correct altitude.

6) If this boiler was received as a knockdown boiler, follow the instructions in Appendix A to assemble the boiler.

IV Locating the Boiler

1) Clearances:

•Observe the minimum clearances shown below. These clearances apply to all combustible construction, as well as

noncombustible walls, ceilings and doors. Also see Figure 2.

Front – 18”

Right Side – 18”

Left Side – 6”

Rear – 6”

Top – 17”

•A 24” service clearance from the jacket is recommended on the left, right, and front of the boiler. These clearances

may be reduced to those shown in Figure 2, however servicing the boiler will become increasingly difficult as these

service clearances are reduced.

•If the right side 24” service clearance is reduced, adequate clearance must be maintained to easily read and access the

controls. Alternatively, access may be provided using a door

2) This boiler may be installed directly over a non-carpeted combustible floor.

3) The boiler must be installed on a hard level surface.

Warning

This Product Must be Installed By A Licensed Plumber Or Gas Fitter

when Installed Within The Commonwealth Of Massachusetts

4) Do not install this boiler in a location where gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids will be stored or used. Do not

install this boiler in an area where large amounts of airborne dust will be present, such as a workshop.

5) The boiler should be located as close to the chimney as possible.

6) Do not install this boiler directly on a surface that may get wet. Raise the boiler on a pad.

V Air for Combustion and Ventilation

Sufficient fresh air must be supplied for combustion, ventilation and flue gas dilution. Provisions for combustion, ventilation

and flue gas dilution air for gas utilization equipment vented by natural draft must be made in accordance with local building

codes or, in absence of such codes, in accordance with sections 5.3.3 and 5.3.4 (“Air for Combustion and Ventilation”) of the

National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z223.1.

To ensure an adequate supply of combustion, ventilation and flue gas dilution air supply, start by determining whether the

boiler is to be installed in a building of unusually tight construction. A good definition of a building of unusually tight

construction is one which has all of the following features:

•Walls and ceilings exposed to outside atmosphere have a continuous water vapor retarder with a rating of 1 perm or

less with openings gasketed and sealed

•Weather stripping has been added on openable windows and doors

•Caulking and sealants are applied to areas such as joints around window and door frames, between sole plates and

floors, between wall-ceiling joints, between wall panels, at penetrations for plumbing, electrical, and gas lines, and at

other openings.

FIGURE 2: BSI BOILERS - CLEARANCES TO ALL

TYPES OF COMBUSTIBLE CONSTRUCTION AND

NONCOMBUSTIBLE CEILINGS, WALLS, AND

DOORS.

For Buildings of Other than Unusually Tight Construction

1) Determine whether the boiler is to be installed in a confined space - A confined space is defined by the National Fuel

Gas Code as having a volume less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr input of all appliances installed in that space. To

determine whether the boiler room is a confined space:

a. Total the input of all appliances in the boiler room in thousands of BTU/hr. Round the result to the next highest 1000

BTU/hr.

b. Find the volume of the room in cubic feet. The volume of the room in cubic feet is:

Length (ft) x width (ft) x ceiling height (ft)

In calculating the volume of the boiler room, consider the volume of adjoining spaces only if no doors are installed

between them. If doors are installed between the boiler room and an adjoining space, do not consider the volume of the

adjoining space, even if the door is normally left open.

c. Divide the volume of the boiler room by the input in thousands of BTU/hr. If the result is less than 50, the boiler room is a

confined space.

Example:

A BSI172EN and a water heater are to be installed in a room measuring 6 ft - 3 in x 7 ft with an 8 ft ceiling. The water heater

has an input of 30000 BTU/hr:

Total input in thousands of BTU/hr = (172000 BTU/hr + 30000 BTU/hr)/1000 = 202

Volume of room = 6.25 ft x 7 ft x 8 ft = 350 ft3

350/202 = 1.73. Since 1.73 is less than 50, the boiler room is a confined space.

2) Unconfined Space - Natural infiltration into the boiler room will normally provide adequate air for combustion and

ventilation without additional louvers or openings into boiler room.

3) Confined Space - Provide two openings into the boiler room, one near the floor and one near the ceiling. The top edge of

the upper opening must be within 12” of the ceiling and the bottom edge of the lower opening must be within 12” of the

floor (Figure 3).

•Each opening must have a free area of 1 square inch per 1000 BTU/hr input of all gas burning appliances in the boiler

room. The minimum opening dimension is 3 inches. Minimum opening free area is 100 square inches per opening.

•If the total volume of both the boiler room and the room to which the openings connect is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000

BTU/hr of total appliance input, install a pair of identical openings into a third room. Connect additional rooms with

openings until the total volume of all rooms is at least 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU/hr of input.

•The “free area” of an opening takes into account the blocking effect of mesh, grills, and louvers. Where screens are used,

they must be no finer than ¼” (4 x 4) mesh.

•If providing openings into adjacent rooms is undesirable, combustion and ventilation air can be brought into the boiler

room from outdoors. See the instructions under “For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction”.

For Buildings of Unusually Tight Construction

1) Openings must be installed between the boiler room and the outdoors or a ventilated space, such as an attic or crawl

space, which communicates directly with the outdoors.

2) Two openings are required. The top edge of the upper opening must be within 12 inches of the ceiling. The bottom edge

of the lower opening must be within 12 inches of the floor.

3) Size openings and ducts as follows:

•Vertical ducts or openings directly outdoors (Figure 4, Figure 5, and Figure 6) - Each opening must have a free cross

sectional area of 1 square inch per 4000 BTU/hr of the total input of all gas-fired appliances in the boiler room but not less

than 100 square inches. Minimum opening size is 3 inches.

•Openings to outdoors via horizontal ducts (Figure 7) - Each opening must have a free cross sectional area of 1 square

inch per 2000 BTU/hr of the total input of all gas fired appliances in the boiler room but not less than 100 square inches.

Minimum opening size is 3 inches.

•The “free area” of an opening takes into account the blocking effect of mesh, grills, and louvers. Where screens are used,

they must be no finer than ¼” (4 x 4) mesh.

VI Venting

Vent installation must be in accordance with local building codes, or the local authority having jurisdiction, or the National

Fuel Gas Code, NFPA 54/ANSI Z 223.1.

A typical vent installation is illustrated by Figure 8. The components of vent installation are the vent damper (if used), vent

connector and chimney.

1) Acceptable Chimneys - The following chimneys may be used to vent BSI series boilers:

•Listed Type B or L gas vent - Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, the terms of its listing, and

applicable codes.

•Masonry Chimney - The masonry chimney must be constructed in accordance with the Standard for Chimneys,

Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances (NFPA 211) and lined with a clay liner or other listed lining

system. Do not vent a BSI series boiler into an unlined chimney.

2) Acceptable Vent Connectors - The following may be used for vent connectors:

•Listed type B or L Gas Vent

•Single Wall Galvanized Pipe - Use 0.018” (26 gauge or heavier). The size and location of the chimney may not permit

the use of a single wall connector in some cases. See the National Fuel Gas Code. Do not use single wall pipe for

vent connectors in attics.

•Other Vent Connectors Permitted by the National Fuel Gas Code.

3) Chimney and Vent Connector Sizing - Size the chimney and vent connector in accordance with the National Fuel Gas

Code.

4) Exterior Chimneys - An exterior chimney has one or more sides exposed to the outdoors below the roof line. There are two

conditions under which an exterior chimney may be used:

•In some very restrictive cases, BSI series boilers may be vented into an exterior ceramic lined masonry chimney. See

the National Fuel Gas Code for information on when exterior chimneys may be used.

•An exterior masonry chimney may be used if it is lined with B vent or a listed chimney lining system.

5) This boiler may be vented using a listed power venter. The power venter must be sized and installed in accordance with

the power venter manufacturer’s instructions, the terms of the power venter listing, and applicable codes. The boiler must

be electrically interlocked with the power venter to prevent boiler operation if the power venter fails to operate. Before

deciding to use a power venter, make certain that the flue gas exiting the power venter will not damage adjacent

construction or other structures. Also make certain that the power venter terminal will not be subjected to winds which

could effect power venter operation.

6) Do not connect the vent of this appliance into any portion of a mechanical vent system operating under positive

pressure.

7) Do not connect the boiler into a chimney flue serving an open fireplace or other solid fuel appliance.

8) Prior to boiler installation, inspect chimney for obstructions or other defects and correct as required. Clean chimney as

necessary.

9) Vent pipe should slope upward from draft diverter not less than one inch in four feet. No portion of vent pipe should run

downward or have sags. Vent pipe must be securely supported.

10) The vertical section of vent pipe coming off the boiler should be as tall as possible, while still maintaining the proper

clearance from the horizontal vent connector to combustibles and the proper pitch called for in (9) above.

11) Vent pipe should be installed above the bottom of the chimney to prevent blockage.

12) Vent pipe must be inserted flush with inside face of the chimney liner and the space between vent pipe and chimney

sealed tight.

13) Do not install the vent damper in any portion of the vent system which is used by appliances other than the boiler being

installed.

14) Vent damper installation is mandatory on all sizes from the BSI069 to BSI276. The BSI310 through BSI379 may be ordered

with or without vent damper. If supplied, install vent damper (see Figure 9) as follows:

a) Open vent damper carton and remove installation instructions. Read the instructions thoroughly before proceeding.

Verify that vent damper is same size as draft diverter outlet. See Figure 1. Unpack vent damper carefully. Do not force

closed damper blade. Forcing vent damper closed may result in damaged gear train and void warranty.

b) Vent damper is factory shipped having approximately ¾” diameter hole in the vent damper blade, which must be left

open for boilers equipped with standing pilot, and should be plugged on boilers with an intermittent pilot system,

using the plug supplied with the damper.

Mount the vent damper on the flue collar without modification to either and secure with sheet metal screws. Make

sure screws do not interfere with damper blade operation. Vent damper blade position indicator must be visible to

users.

c) The damper wire harness is shipped wired into the boiler junction box. Plug the loose end of this harness into the

damper and secure the flexible conduit to the damper using a connector nut provided.

d) Install vent connector pipe and vent fittings from vent damper outlet to chimney or gas vent. Secure with sheet metal

screws and support as required.

Removing an Existing Boiler from a Common Chimney

In some cases, when an existing boiler is removed from a common chimney, the common venting system may be too large for

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.

a) Seal any unused opening in the common venting system.

b) Visually inspect the venting system for proper size and horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or

restriction, leakage, corrosion and other deficiencies which could cause an unsafe condition.

c) Insofar as practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which all 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

fireplace dampers.

d) Place in operation the appliance being inspected. Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat so the appliance

will operate continuously.

e) Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after five (5) minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a

match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar, or pipe.

f) 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, fireplace dampers and any other gas-burning

appliances to their previous condition of use.

g) Any improper operation of the common venting system should be corrected so the installation conforms with the

National Fuel Gas Code, 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 the

National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1.

VII Gas Piping

Gas piping to the boiler must be sized to deliver adequate gas for the boiler to fire at the nameplate input at a line pressure

between the minimum and maximum values shown on the rating plate. For more information on gas line sizing, consult the

utility or Chapter 2 of the National Fuel Gas Code.

Figure 10 shows typical gas piping connection to the BSI boiler. A sediment trap must be installed upstream of all gas

controls. Install a manual shut-off valve outside the jacket and ground joint union as shown.

The boiler and its gas connection must be leak tested before placing the boiler in operation. When doing this, the boiler

and its individual shut-off must be disconnected from the rest of the system during any pressure testing of that system at

pressures in excess of 1/2 psi. When pressure testing the gas system at pressures of 1/2 psi or less, isolate the boiler from the

gas supply system by closing its individual manual shut-off valve.

CAUTION

• INSTALL BOILER SO THAT THE GAS IGNITION SYSTEM COMPONENTS ARE PROTECTED

FROM WATER (DRIPPING, SPRAYING, RAIN, ETC.) DURING APPLIANCE OPERATION AND SERVICE

(CIRCULATOR REPLACEMENT, ETC.).

• OPERATION OF THIS BOILER IN A SYSTEM HAVING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DISSOLVED OXYGEN

CAN CAUSE SEVERE HEAT EXCHANGER CORROSION DAMAGE.

VIII System Piping

General Piping Notes

Figure 11 shows recommended near boiler piping for most common types of gravity return steam systems. Additional

information on steam system design may be found in Installation Guide for Residential Hydronic Heating Systems (Pub.

#200) published by the Hydronics Institute in Berkeley Heights NJ.

One of the primary purposes of this near boiler piping is to separate tiny water droplets from the steam exiting the boiler so

that “dry” steam is sent to the system. If the near boiler piping is not correct, wet steam will enter the system and the

following problems may occur:

•Short cycling on low water

•Boiler or system Flooding

•Hammering

•Failure to heat one or more radiators

Avoid the three common piping mistakes shown in Figure 12. This applies even if the existing boiler has one of the piping

mistakes shown in Figure 12 and appears to be working. If two or more steam mains must be connected to the boiler, connect a

separate take-off for each main into the header between the riser(s) and equalizer. Also note the following points:

1) A size reduction must be made to connect the header to the equalizer. This reduction must be made in the equalizer line. Do

not make this size reduction in the horizontal header.

2) One pipe steam systems require air vents on each radiator, as well as at the end of each main. For the system to work

properly, these vents must be properly installed, sized, and be in good condition. Inspect and replace any defective vents. If

there are no vents at the ends of the mains, install them.

3) Do not attempt to manifold multiple BSIs with gravity returns.

4) For installations with condensate or boiler feed pumps, follow the pump manufacturer’s piping instructions. Such systems

generally do not require Hartford loops.

5) Do not use a check valve in place of, or in addition to, a Hartford loop on a gravity return system.

6) Pipe the fill connection from a clean source of cold water. When the water supply is from a well, make sure that a strainer is

installed in the well system.

7) Piping with a Chiller - If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler in parallel with chiller. Use isolation

valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler.

Piping Installation

1) Remove parts bag from boiler crate.

2) Install safety valve (spindle must be in vertical position) into tapping on boiler left side (see Figure 1) using the 3/4” NPT

nipples and elbow supplied.

3) Pipe the discharge of the safety relief valve to a location where water or steam will not create a hazard or cause property

damage if the valve opens. The end of the discharge pipe must terminate in an unthreaded pipe. If the safety valve

discharge is not piped to a drain it must terminate at least 6 inches above the floor. The termination of the safety valve

discharge piping must be in an area where it is not likely to become plugged by debris or subjected to freezing.

4) Install drain valve into tapping on boiler left side using the 2 x 3/4 bushing provided (see Figure 1).

5) Connect system supply and return to boiler. See Figure 11. The BSI069 - BSI172 require only one supply riser. Two supply

risers are required on the BSI207 and larger sizes.

6) Piping with a Chiller - If the boiler is used in conjunction with a chiller, pipe the boiler in parallel with chiller. Use isolation

valves to prevent chilled water from entering the boiler.

DANGER

•PIPE SAFETY VALVE DISCHARGE TO A SAFE LOCATION.

•DO NOT INSTALL A VALVE IN THE SAFETY VALVE DISCHARGE LINE.

•DO NOT MOVE SAFETY VALVE FROM FACTORY LOCATION.

•DO NOT PLUG SAFETY VALVE DISCHARGE.

•DO NOT INSTALL A SAFETY VALVE WITH A SETTING GREATER THAN 15 PSI.

IX Indirect Water Heater Piping

All BSI series boilers are equipped with tappings to permit the connection of a Crown Mega-Stor, or other indirect water

heater. In this type of system, hot boiler water is drawn from below the water line and passed through the heat exchanger in

the indirect water heater. This section describes boiler-side piping only. Refer to the indirect water heater instruction manual

for domestic water piping. The components in this system and their functions are as follows:

1) Circulator - Mount the circulator as shown in Figure 13. The circulator should be located as low and as close to the boiler

as practical. Do not install valves, or other devices having a significant pressure drop, between the boiler and the circulator

inlet. All piping between the boiler and the circulator inlet should be 1”, regardless of the size of the piping required in the

rest of the system. See Figure 15 in Part X for wiring information.

2) “Y” Strainer - Install a “Y” strainer to prevent sediment from accumulating inside the indirect water heater.

3) Check Valve - Prevents gravity circulation through the indirect water heater when the boiler is responding to a call for

heat.

4) Boiler Limit Control - Use a SPST break-on-rise temperature limit control such as the Honeywell L4006A. Do not set the

limit above 180F as doing so may cause the boiler to steam when there is no call for heat. See Figure 15 for wiring

information.

5) Valves and Unions - Install shut-off valves, drain valves, and unions in locations that will facilitate maintenance of the

system. Do not install any valves between the boiler and circulator inlet.

IMPORTANT

•Some indirect water heaters may not be suitable for use with a steam boiler. Consult the water heater

manufacturer’s guidelines before installing it in this type of system.

•Boiler water temperatures and flow rates in this type of system may be considerably lower than those upon which the

water heater manufacturer’s ratings are based. This may result in substantially longer water heater recovery times.

FIGURE 13: INDIRECT WATER HEATER BOILER-SIDE PIPING

X Wiring

1) 120 Volt Wiring - The boiler should be provided with its own 15A branch circuit with fused disconnect. All 120 volt

connections are made inside the junction box on the left side of the boiler. Remove the transformer to gain access to this

box (also see Figures 16 through 19):

•Hot (“black”) - Wire nut to black transformer lead

•Neutral (“white”) - Wire nut to white transformer lead

•Ground (“green” or bare) - Ground screw inside junction box.

2) Thermostat Wiring - Follow thermostat manufacturer instructions. To insure proper thermostat operation, avoid installation

in areas of poor air circulation, hot spots (near any heat source or in direct sunlight), cold spots (outside walls, walls

adjacent to unheated areas, locations subject to drafts). Provide Class II circuit between thermostat and boiler. Connect

thermostat wire leads to the blue transformer lead and brown relay lead inside the junction box. Set the heat anticipator to

0.2A.

Feeder Wiring for Boilers Equipped with Hydrolevel CG400A Low Water Cut-offs

1) Using Hydrolevel VXT-24 TWO-WIRE feeder - Do not alter factory boiler wiring. Connect VXT-24 to CG400A as follows:

•Connect the BLACK lead on the feeder to terminal A on the LWCO

•Connect the WHITE lead on the feeder to terminal 2 on the LWCO

2) Using Hydrolevel VXT-24 THREE-WIRE feeder - Do not alter factory boiler wiring. Connect VXT-24 to CG400A as follows:

•Connect the BLACK lead on the feeder to terminal 1 on the LWCO

•Connect the WHITE lead on the feeder to terminal 2 on the LWCO

•Connect the RED lead on the feeder to terminal A on the LWCO

3) Using McDonnell & Miller WF2-U-24 feeder - Do not alter factory boiler wiring. Connect WF2-U-24 to CG400A as follows:

•Connect terminal W on the feeder to terminal A on the LWCO

•Connect terminal N on the feeder to terminal 2 on the LWCO

•Connect terminal H on the feeder to terminal 1 on the LWCO

CAUTION

Do not attempt to connect a McDonnell & Miller model #101A feeder, or other feeder without a delay, to a BSI boiler

equipped with a Hydrolevel CG400 low water cutoff. Doing so could destroy the boiler transformer and/or flood the system.

WARNING

All wiring and grounding must be done in accordance with the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such

requirements, with the National Electrical Code (ANSI/NFPA 70)

Feeder Wiring for Boilers Equipped with McDonnell & Miller #67 Low Water Cut-offs

Figures 14a and 14b show feeder wiring for McDonnell & Miller #101A, McDonnell & Miller WF2-U-24 and Hydrolevel VXT-

24 feeders on boilers equipped with #67 low water cutoffs. The following points apply to all feeder wiring to #67 low water

cut-offs:

•Use a separate transformer to power the feeder. Do not use the transformer on the boiler.

•It is not necessary to touch any of the 24 volt factory boiler wiring when connecting a feeder to a #67 equipped

boiler.

•Do NOT install a jumper between terminals 2 and 3 on the #67 low water cutoff.

Indirect Water Heater Wiring

Figure 15 shows field wiring for an indirect water heater. A Honeywell R845A or equivalent DPST relay and transformer is

required. The high limit described in Part IX must also be supplied by the installer. A call for heat from the indirect water

heater thermostat will energize the relay making both sets of contacts. One set of these contacts then energizes the circulator.

The other set of contacts will make the “T” and “T” contacts on the burner primary control, firing the burner. If the boiler

water temperature exceeds the high limit setting of 180F, the high limit will open the “T” - “T” circuit and the burner will shut

down.

If there is a call for space heat, the heating thermostat will make the “T”-”T” circuit and the boiler will fire without regard to

the status of the indirect water heater. The low water cut-off and pressure limit control will interrupt 120 volt power to the

burner in the event of a low water or excessive pressure condition.

BSI Control System – Sequence of Operation

(Refer to Figures 16 through 19 for ladder and connection diagrams)

Sequence of Operation, Standing Pilot

1) When the boiler is energized, 24 volts is immediately applied to terminals “1” (blue) and “4” (yellow) on the vent

damper. Assuming that there is no call for heat, and that the damper switch is in the “automatic” position, the damper will

close. On boilers equipped with Hydrolevel CG400A probe type low water cut-offs, voltage is also always applied to

terminals “1” (blue) and “2” (yellow) on the low water cut-off to power the water level sensing circuit. On boilers equipped

with #67 float type low water cut-offs, power is always applied to terminal “2” on the #67 LWCO.

2) Assuming that water is above the cut-off level, power will appear at terminal “3” on the CG400 LWCO or terminal “1” on the

#67 LWCO.

3) Assuming that steam pressure is below the pressure limit setting, power will appear on one side of relay contact 1R1

(Gray lead). Relay 1R is the R8225 mounted under the junction box.

4) A call for heat from the thermostat energizes relay coil 1R causing contacts 1R1 to make. Current then flows through

contacts 1R1 to pin terminal “2” (orange) at the vent damper and the damper opens.

5) Once the vent damper is fully open, an end switch inside the damper will make, energizing pin “3” (red) at the damper.

6) Current passes from terminal “3” on the vent damper though the flame rollout and blocked vent (“spill”) switches.

Under normal conditions, both of these switches are made and voltage will therefore immediately appear across the combi-

nation gas control (“gas valve”) terminals “TH” and “TR”.

7) When the boiler is first placed into operation, the pilot must be lit. The pilot heats a thermocouple which generates a small

amount of electricity sufficient to hold open the safety shut-off valve in the combination gas control. The circuit connecting

the thermocouple and the safety shut-off valve is self contained and completely independent of all other wiring on the boiler.

This safety shut-off valve is upstream of the 24 volt valves in the gas control which open in response to a call for heat. If the

pilot is not lit, the safety shut-off valve will remain closed and gas will not reach the 24 volt valves.

8) Assuming that the pilot is established and proven by the thermocouple, the application of 24 volts across the combina-

tion gas valve terminals energizes the redundant 24 volt solenoid valves in the combination gas control, resulting in gas

flow through the control and burner operation.

Sequence of Operation, Intermittent Ignition

1) When the boiler is energized, 24 volts is immediately applied to terminals “1” (blue) and “4” (yellow) on the vent

damper. Assuming that there is no call for heat, and that the damper switch is in the “automatic” position, the damper will

close. On boilers equipped with Hydrolevel CG400A probe type low water cut-offs, voltage is also always applied to

terminals “1” (blue) and “2” (yellow) on the low water cut-off to power the water level sensing circuit. On boilers equipped

with #67 float type low water cut-offs, power is always applied to terminal “2” on the #67 LWCO.

2) Assuming that water is above the cut-off level, power will appear at terminal “3” on the CG400 LWCO or terminal “1” on the

#67 LWCO.

3) Assuming that steam pressure is below the pressure limit setting, power will appear on one side of relay contact 1R1

(Gray lead). Relay 1R is the R8225 mounted under the junction box.

4) A call for heat from the thermostat energizes relay coil 1R causing contacts 1R1 to make. Current then flows through

contacts 1R1 to pin terminal “2” (orange) at the vent damper and the damper opens.

5) Once the vent damper is fully open, an end switch inside the damper will make, energizing pin “3” (red) at the damper.

6) Current passes from terminal “3” on the vent damper though the flame rollout and blocked vent (“spill”) switches.

Under normal conditions, both of these switches are made and voltage will therefore immediately appear across terminals

“24V” and “24V (GND)” on the ignition module.

7) Upon application of voltage across the “24V” and “24V (GND)” terminals, the ignition module will start an ignition spark

at the pilot and apply 24 volts across the pilot valve (terminals “PV” and “MV/PV”).

8) Once the pilot is established, the pilot flame will act as a diode, converting the AC current at the electrode to a half

wave DC current at the pilot’s ground strap. This DC current flows through the boiler to the “GND (BURNER)” connection

on the ignition module. For the ignition module to recognize that a pilot flame is present, the DC current flowing into this

terminal must be in excess of approximately 1.0 uA.

9) Once the ignition module detects the presence of a pilot flame, voltage is applied across the main valve (terminals “MV”

and “MV/PV”), opening the valve and establishing main flame.

10) The way in which the ignition module handles failure to establish pilot or the loss of an already established pilot

depends upon the exact ignition module supplied with the boiler. For more information on module operation, consult the

ignition module instructions supplied with the boiler or the local Crown representative.

Safety Control Operation - Standing Pilot and Intermittent Ignition

Hydrolevel CG400A Low Water Cut-off - Interrupts burner operation if the water in the boiler drops below a safe level. As the

water drops past the cut-off point, the amber lamp on the CG400 will glow. The CG400 will interrupt power to the burners 15

seconds after the water level drops past the cut-off point. This feature prevents short cycling of the burners due to a bouncing

water line. The burners will then remain off until 30 seconds after the water level has been raised above the cut-off point.

The CG400 is also equipped with a feature which will shut down the burners after they have been firing for 10 minutes, regardless

of the water level status. The CG400 then keeps the burners off for 90 seconds, allowing the water level and any foam which is

present to settle. During this 90 second interval, the green LED on the CG400 will glow. If the water level is still above the cut-off

line at the end of this 90 second interval, the CG400 will restart the burners.

The vent damper will close when the low water cut-off interrupts burner operation.

McDonnell & Miller #67 Low Water Cut-off - Interrupts burner operation if the water in the boiler drops below a safe level.

Burner operation is restored when the water level in the boiler is raised above the cut-off point.

The vent damper will close when the low water cut-off interrupts burner operation.

Pressure Limit Control - Interrupts burner operation when the pressure in the boiler exceeds the “Cut-in” setting plus the

differential setting. The “Cut-in” setting is shown on the outside of the control and is adjusted using the screw on the top of the

control. The differential is adjusted using the white thumb wheel on the inside of the control. Burner operation is restored when

the pressure in the boiler drops to the “Cut-in” pressure.

The vent damper will close when the pressure limit control interrupts burner operation.

Blocked Vent (“Spill”) Switch - Automatically interrupts burner operation in the event that flue gas spills from the draft diverter

opening. This switch is equipped with a reset button which must be pressed to restore normal burner operation. An open blocked

vent switch is indicative of a problem with the vent system. If the blocked vent switch opens, the cause of the venting problem

must be found and corrected by a qualified gas service technician before the blocked vent switch is reset.

Flame Roll-out Switch - Automatically interrupts burner operation when flames or excessive heat are present in vestibule. The flame

roll-out switch is a single use device which must be replaced by an identical switch in order to restore normal operation. An open

flame roll-out switch is usually indicative of a plugged heat exchanger. The cause of the flame roll-out must be found and

corrected by a qualified gas service technician, and the switch replaced with an identical one, before the boiler is returned to

operation.

XI Start-up and Checkout

Use the following procedure for initial start-up of the boiler:

1) Make sure that the boiler is filled with water to the normal water line (28 3/4 inches above the floor or pad on which the

boiler is installed)

2) Check all new gas piping for leaks and purge piping sections that are filled with air. See Part 4 of the National Fuel Gas

Code for additional information on testing and purging gas lines.

3) Verify that vent system is complete and free of obstructions before attempting to fire boiler.

4) Inspect all wiring for loose or uninsulated connections.

5) Make sure the main burners are seated properly in the rear of burner tray and on orifices.

6) Adjust steam pressure limit control for a cut-in pressure of 0.5 psi and a differential pressure of 1 psi.

7) Adjust thermostat to the highest setting.

8) Start the boiler using the appropriate lighting instructions for the gas valve on the boiler on pages 25-28.

9) Upon initial start-up, the gas train will be filled with air. Even if the gas line has been completely purged of air, it may take

several tries for ignition before a flame is established. Once a flame has been established for the first time, subsequent

calls for burner operation should result in a flame on the first try.

10) Observe pilot burner flame:

•See Figure 20 for standing pilot. Pilot burner should produce single steady medium blue flame covering around 3/8”

to ½” of thermocouple tip.

•See Figure 21 for intermittent ignition. Pilot burner produces three flames. The center one should be a steady medium

blue flame covering around 3/8” to ½” of spark electrode/flame rod.

12) Make sure vent damper is in open position when main burners are firing.

13) Inspect the main burner flames visible through the observation port in burner access panel. The flame should be stable

and mostly blue (see Figure 22). No yellow tipping should be present; however, intermittent flecks of yellow and orange in

the flame are normal.

14) Check entire gas train for leaks using soap and water or other approved leak detection method while boiler is firing. Fix

any leaks found immediately.

15) Run gas valve safety shutdown test:

•For standing pilot boiler models, disconnect the thermocouple from gas valve. Both pilot burner and main burners

should stop firing.

•For intermittent ignition boiler models, with main burners firing, disconnect ignition cable from ignition module. Both

pilot burner and main burners should stop firing.

NOTE

SAFE LIGHTING AND OTHER PERFORMANCE CRITERIA WERE MET WITH THE GAS MANIFOLD AND

CONTROL ASSEMBLY PROVIDED ON THE BOILER WHEN THE BOILER UNDERWENT THE TESTS

SPECIFIED IN Z21.13.

WARNING

•NEVER USE A FLAME TO CHECK FOR GAS LEAKS.

•MAKE SURE THAT THE AREA AROUND THE BOILER IS CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE

MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

•DAMPER MUST BE IN OPEN POSITION WHEN APPLIANCE MAIN BURNER IS OPERATING.

16) Check the manifold pressure and adjust if necessary. To do this, use the following procedure:

a) Connect a manometer to the inlet pressure tap on the gas valve (see Figures 23 and 24).

b) Check the inlet pressure with all gas appliances on and off. The inlet pressure at the boiler must be within the

following limits regardless of what combination of appliances is firing:

Inlet Press (inches w.c.) Natural Gas LP Gas

Min. 5.0 11.0

Max. 14.0 13.0

If the inlet pressure falls outside of these limits, find and correct the cause of the problem before proceeding further.

c) Connect a manometer to the manifold (outlet) pressure tap on the gas valve (see Figures 23 and 24).

d) Read the manifold pressure. It should be set at:

Natural Gas LP Gas

Manifold Press. (inches w.c.) 3.5 10.0

e) If a manifold pressure adjustment is needed, make the adjustment by turning the pressure regulator (see Figures 23

and 24) screw clockwise to raise the pressure and counter clockwise to reduce the pressure. If a manifold pressure

adjustment is made, recheck the line pressure to be certain that it is still within acceptable limits. Replace the cover

screw on the regulator.

WARNING

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE EXACTLY COULD RESULT IN OVER-FIRING OF

THE BOILER AND A CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD.

17) Test thermostat operation while the boiler is running. Turn the thermostat to the lowest setting. For standing pilot boiler

models, pilot burner should remain lit but the main burners should stop firing. For intermittent ignition boiler models both pilot

burner and main burners should stop firing. Raise the thermostat back to the highest setting. The main burners (for standing

pilot boiler models) or pilot burner and main burners (for intermittent ignition boiler models) should relight.

18) Verify low water cutoff operation while the boiler is running. Slowly open drain valve and drain boiler until the water level

drops below low water cutoff line. Water still should be visible in the gauge glass when the low water cutoff shuts down the

main burners. For standing pilot boiler models, pilot burner should remain lit when the main burners stop firing. For

intermittent ignition boiler models both pilot burner and main burners should stop firing. Make sure pressure limit, thermostat

or other controls have not shut off the boiler. Upon test completion refill the boiler to the normal water level.

19) Check pressure limit control operation. When steam pressure is registered on pressure gauge, lower pressure limit setting

below gauge reading. For standing pilot boiler models, pilot burner should remain lit when the main burners stop firing. For

intermittent ignition boiler models, both pilot burner and main burners should stop firing. Raise pressure limit setting above

gauge reading. The main burners( for standing pilot boiler models) or pilot burner and main burners ( for intermittent ignition

boiler models) should relight.

20) After the boiler has operated for approximately 30 minutes, check the boiler and heating system piping for leaks. Repair any

leaks found at once.

21) Inspect the vent system for flue gas leaks. Repair any leaks found before leaving the boiler in operation.

22) Replacement of a steam boiler tends to break loose accumulated scale from the system. During the first week of operation,

blow down the #67 low water cut-off at least three times following the blow down instructions on the yellow sticker adjacent

to the low water cut-off.

23) After new boiler has been installed and put into continuous operation for several days, clean the boiler of oil, grease,

sludge, and other contaminants that may have been present in existing piping. This will prevent unsteady water line and

water carry over into supply main. The boiler boil-out should be done as follows:

a) Turn off gas supply to boiler per the appropriate Lighting and Operating instructions on page 25 - 28.

b) Drain water from boiler until about one inch of water is visible in gauge glass.

c) Run a hose or temporary piping from the boiler drain valve to a location where hot water can be safely discharged.

Drain approximately five gallons of water from the boiler and mix-in an appropriate amount of an approved boil-out

compound. Remove safety valve and refill the boiler with prepared solution through funnel inserted into elbow under

the safety valve. Run a hose or temporary piping from safety valve tapping to a location where hot water can be

safely discharged. DO NOT INSTALL ANY VALVES IN THIS LINE.

d) Light off the boiler per the appropriate instructions on page 25 - 28. Run boiler for several hours, boiling the water,

without generating steam pressure. Open the water feed valve sufficiently to allow a slight overflow of water through

the safety valve tapping drain line. Continue boiling until water coming out is clear.

XII Service and Maintenance

On a continuous basis:

1) Keep the area around the boiler free and clear from combustible materials, gasoline, and other flammable vapors and

liquids.

2) Keep the area around the boiler and boiler room ventilation openings clear of objects which might obstruct the flow of

combustion and ventilation air.

On at least a weekly basis:

For boilers equipped with a #67 low water cut-off, blow down the low water cut-off following the instructions on the yellow

sticker adjacent to the low water cut-off. During this blow down, the low water cutoff should shut down the burners. If it does

not the low water cut-off should be replaced immediately.

On an annual basis:

1) Turn off electrical power and gas supply to the boiler

2) Inspect the flue passages for signs of blockage. If there is any carbon in the combustion chamber or the flue passages,

clean the heat exchanger before proceeding further. See the cleaning procedure below.

3) Remove any debris found in the combustion chamber, being careful not to disturb combustion chamber insulation.

4) Remove all burners, noting the location of the pilot main burner. If burners show signs of deterioration, they should be

replaced (some discoloration around the burner ports is normal). Clean the burners by first brushing the ports with a soft

bristle brush and then vacuuming out any debris through the venturi opening.

5) Inspect the pilot assembly:

•Standing Pilots - Check the thermocouple for deterioration (some discoloration of the thermocouple is normal). If any

deterioration is present, replace the thermocouple. Inspect the pilot assembly for deposits and deterioration. Clean or

replace the pilot assembly as necessary.

•Intermittent Pilots - Clean any deposits found on the electrode and grounding strap. The ideal gap between the

electrode and the ground strap is 1/8”. Inspect the porcelain for cracks or other deterioration. Replace pilot assembly

if deterioration is found.

6) Inspect the combustion chamber insulation for deterioration.

7) (Intermittent Pilot Boilers) - Inspect the ignition cable insulation for cracks or other deterioration. If deterioration is found,

CAUTION

LABEL ALL WIRES PRIOR TO DISCONNECTION WHEN SERVICING CONTROLS. WIRING ERRORS CAN CAUSE

IMPROPER AND DANGEROUS OPERATION. VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING

NOTE

When substantial amount of make-up water is used due to lost condensate, or when make-up water is hard or corrosive,

water treatment is required. Contact qualified water treatment company for recommended water treatment compounds

and procedures.

e) Turn off gas supply to boiler per the appropriate Lighting and Operating instructions on pages 25 - 28. Drain hot

water from boiler through boiler drain valve to a location where hot water can be safely discharged. Refill the boiler

to normal water line level. If water in the gauge glass does not look clear, repeat above boil-out procedure again until

water is clears.

f) Reinstall safety valve and related piping.

g) Conduct pH and Alkalinity test of water in the system. The pH reading should be in 7 to 11 range.

replace cable.

8) Reinstall burners, being careful to put the pilot main burner in its original location.

9) Inspect all boiler wiring for loose connections or deterioration.

10) Inspect the vent system:

•Make sure that the vent system is free of obstructions.

•Make sure that all vent system supports are intact.

•Inspect joints for signs of condensate or flue gas leakage.

•Inspect venting components for corrosion or other deterioration. Replace any defective vent components.

11) Inspect the boiler and system for leaks.

12) Inspect the low water cut-off:

•For Hydrolevel CG400A low water cut-offs - Remove and inspect the probe for scale and sediment buildup. Clean any

sediment or scale from the probe with a scouring pad or steel wool. Consult the Hydrolevel CG400 manual for any

additional maintenance information. Test the low water cut-off before placing the boiler back into service.

•For McDonnell & Miller #67 low water cut-offs - Remove and inspect switch and float mechanism. Inspect float bowl

for mud accumulation. Clean as required. Replace the switch and float mechanism every five years or 100,000 cycles.

Consult the McDonnell and Miller #67 manual for any additional maintenance information. Test the low water cut-off

before placing the boiler back into service.

13) Allow the boiler to cool to room temperature. Remove the drain valve and 2 x 3/4 bushing on the left side of the boiler. Use

a flashlight to inspect the bottom row of pushnipples for accumulated scale or mud. If a significant amount is present, use the

following procedure to clean the inside of the heat exchanger:

a) Temporarily install a 1 1/4 inch or larger full port ball valve in place of the boiler drain. Temporarily pipe the outlet

of this valve to a location where hot water and steam can be safely discharged.

b) Make sure that this valve is closed and that the water level is at the normal water line.

c) If a king valve is present in the steam main takeoff, close it. Alternatively, temporarily replace enough of the

vents on the mains and/or radiators with plugs so that 2-5 psi can be developed when the boiler is fired.

d) Fire the boiler and allow it to steam until 2-5 psi is registered on the gauge.

e) Turn off the burners and immediately fully open the 1-1/4 valve.

f) Allow the boiler to blow down until either the water runs clear or the water level reaches the bottom of the gauge

glass.

g) Allow all parts of the boiler to cool to room temperature. Drain the boiler completely and remove the 1-1/4 valve.

h) If significant mud or scale is still present in the bottom of the boiler, repeat steps (b) through (g) until all mud or

scale is removed.

i) Once all mud or scale is removed, replace the 1-1/4 valve and temporary blow-down piping with the standard drain

valve. After all parts of the boiler are at room temperature, refill the boiler to the normal water line.

14) Place the boiler back in operation using the procedure outlined in “Start-up”. Check the pilot line and any other gas piping

NOTE

A large accumulation of mud or scale in the bottom of the heat exchanger is usually a sign of excessive feedwater make-up.

Such accumulations can cause severe heat exchanger damage. If mud or scale accumulations are found:

•Make sure that all vents are in working order. Vents should not permit any passage of steam or water.

•Check all steam and return piping for leaks. Be aware that buried return piping can leak and go undetected

during normal operation.

disturbed during the inspection process for leaks.

Heat Exchanger Cleaning Procedure

1) Turn off electrical power and gas supply to the boiler

2) Disconnect the damper and vent connector from the boiler.

3) Remove the upper front and top jacket panels. If possible, remove the rear and left side jacket panels

4) Remove the burners.

5) Remove the blocked vent (“spill”) switch

6) Remove the ¼-20 nuts and washers holding the flue collector onto the heat exchanger.

7) Carefully remove the flue collector gasket strips and set them aside.

8) Remove the flue collector from the heat exchanger.

9) Clean the flue passageways using a stiff bristle brush. Be certain that all foreign material is removed from the gaps

between the pins

10) Clean the bottom surfaces of the heat exchanger

11) Put a light in the combustion chamber and look through the flue passages from the top to verify that they have been

thoroughly cleaned.

12) Replace the flue collector gasket strips. If desired, RTV silicone sealant with a 500F intermittent duty temperature may be

substituted for this rope gasket. The flue collector must be thoroughly sealed to the heat exchanger.

13) Replace the ¼-20 nuts and washers that hold down the flue collector

14) Reattach all the jacket components.

15) Reinstall burners, being careful to put the pilot main burner in its original location.

16) Replace the blocked vent switch.

17) Reconnect the damper and vent system.

WARNING

SOOT DEPOSITS IN THE FLUE PASSAGES ARE A SIGN THAT THE BOILER MAY BE OPERATING AT HIGH

CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) LEVELS. AFTER CLEANING THE BOILER OF SOOT DEPOSITS, CHECK THE CO

LEVEL IN THE FLUE GAS TO INSURE THAT THE BOILER IS OPERATING PROPERLY.

If it is necessary to check CO, use a combustion analyzer, or other instrument which is designed to measure CO in flue gas.

A CO “sniffer” designed for testing CO levels in ambient air cannot be used to check boiler combustion. Take a flue gas

sample by inserting a sample probe through the draft diverter opening and into the flue collector so that the sample is taken

in the area directly over the heat exchanger. Do not take a sample until the boiler has been firing for at least five minutes.

A normal CO reading for a BSI series boiler is less than 50ppm (0.005%). A reading of more than 100ppm (0.01%) is indica-

tive of a combustion problem.

Some causes of excessive CO include:

•Incorrectly sized main burner orifice for the altitude at which boiler is installed

•Crooked or out-of-round orifice holes (never attempt to drill orifice for this boiler in the field)

•Partially plugged flue passages

•Improper manifold pressure

•Foreign material in burner venturis or burner ports

•Leak in seal between flue collector and heat exchanger

•Inadequate supply of combustion air

XIII Troubleshooting

The following pages contain troubleshooting charts for use in diagnosing control problems. To use these charts, go to the

box marked “Start” at the top of the chart on page 35 or 37 and follow the appropriate path though the chart until a box with a

list of possible causes is reached. If the problem is known to be within the ignition system, go directly to the appropriate

troubleshooting guide for the boiler (standing pilot on page 39 or intermittent ignition on page 40). In using these charts, the

following should be kept in mind:

1) These charts are only meant to be used by a professional heating technician as an aid in diagnosing control problems.

2) Where applicable, follow all precautions outlined in the appropriate lighting instructions on pages 25 - 28.

3) In general, these charts assume that there are no loose or miswired electrical connections. Before using these charts,

inspect all electrical connections on the boiler to make sure that they are tight. Also, check the wiring on the boiler

against the appropriate wiring diagram in Figures 16 - 19.

4) The possible causes at the end of each branch in these charts are not listed in order of likelihood. All controls on the BSI

are tested at least once in the manufacturing process and a defective control or component is generally the least likely

cause. Before replacing a component, try to rule out all other possible causes.

5) These troubleshooting charts assume that the vent damper is closed at the beginning of the troubleshooting process.

With the 120 volts applied to the boiler and no call for heat, the damper should go to the closed position. If it does not,

do the following:

•Confirm that 120 volts is applied to the boiler and that there is no call for heat.

•Make sure that the switch on the damper is in the “automatic” position.

•Unplug the harness from the damper and check for 24 volts across pin #1 (blue) and pin #4 (yellow).

•If voltage is present, the damper is defective or there is an obstruction in the path of the damper blade.

•If no voltage is present, there is either a loose connection in the damper harness or the transformer is defective.

6) If the charts indicate that the transformer is defective, it is possible that this transformer has been destroyed by a short

circuit in the boiler wiring. Before replacing the transformer, carefully inspect all low voltage wiring on the boiler for

places where it is touching the frame of the boiler or wiring on the other side of the transformer.

7) If the charts indicate that the R8225 relay is defective, there is a good chance that a second transformer is present in the

thermostat circuit, resulting in the application of 48 volts across the relay coil. In older buildings, this transformer may be

hidden in a location far from the boiler. If this second transformer exists, it must be found and removed before the R8225 is

replaced.

8) When checking voltage across damper harness pins, be careful not to insert the meter probes into the pins. Doing so may

damage the pin, resulting in a loose connection when the harness is reconnected.

A. Before Installing

1) Thoroughly inspect the cast iron heat exchanger for any shipping damage, i.e. cracks in the castings, broken lugs or

punctures due to mishandling.

2) Do not use the heat exchanger if there is any damage to it.

3) Inspect the joints between the sections for openings. Reseal any openings with high temperature silicone sealant..

4) Keep the base in the shipping carton until it is time to perform the assembly. This keeps foreign material from

contaminating the burners or creating other hazards. Do not use the base assembly if there are any signs of visible

damage.

5) Review all of the installation requirements in this installation manual.

B. Base Assembly Preparation

1) The combination base-burner-manifold is shipped assembled from the factory. (The combination gas valve is

shipped assembled and can be found in the "Base Box".)

2) Smear a thin layer of silicone in several places across the top of the base to adhere the fiber gasket strip.

3) Install the fiber gasket strip, which was shipped in the "Base Box" (Figure A1).

4) Place the base assembly in the location where the boiler is to be installed. Refer to Section III and IV in the installa-

tion manual for additional information on placement.

C. Heat Exchanger and Flue Collector Installation

1) Position the heat exchanger above the base with the return connection located toward the front of the boiler and the

lugs, located on each end of the boiler, centered over the studs, which are on each end of the base (Figure A1).

Lower the heat exchanger over the studs, taking care not to disturb the studs which may push out if the heat

exchanger comes in contact with them. Also, take care not to disturb the ceramic fiber gasket.

2) Once the heat exchanger has been placed on the base, inspect the gasket for proper seal. Repair or replace gasket if

necessary.

3) Secure the heat exchanger with 5/16" lock nuts with nylon inserts and washers from the hardware bag.

4) Loosen nuts on tie rods until they are finger tight.

5) Fiber gasket strips are used to seal the flue collector to the heat exchanger (this is the same material used between

the heat exchanger and base). Install this gasketing on the top of the heat exchanger (Figure A1). A few dabs of

silicone may be used to keep this gasketing from shifting when the flue collector is installed.

6) Install the flue collector as shown in Figure A1. Secure with the 1/4-20 carriage bolt, nuts, and washers provided.

7) Carefully inspect the joint between the flue collector and the heat exchanger to verify that the gasket is properly

positioned.

8) Install the blocked vent switch using the #8 sheet metal screw provided as shown in Figure A1.

Appendix A: Knockdown Boiler Assembly Instructions

D. Jacket Installation

1) Attach the diverter Panel to the vestibule panel using two #10 sheet metal screws. Install these screws in the

outside holes.

2) Slip this diverter/vestibule panel assembly behind the draft diverter opening in the draft diverter assembly (Figure

A2). Attach to the diverter assembly using #10 sheet metal screws.

3) Attach the right side panel to the base and vestibule panel using four #10 sheet metal screws.

4) Orient the rear jacket panel so that the two notches are up. Slip the rear panel under the flange on the rear of the

side panel installed in the previous step and secure with three #10 sheet metal screws.

NOTE

Before installing the jacket, make sure to plug any tappings which are not going to be used. Also make sure that no tappings

are plugged which will be needed. See Figure A3 of this appendix, as well as Parts XIII and IX of the installation manual.

FIGURE A1: BASE, HEAT EXCHANGER, FLUE COLLECTOR ASSEMBLY

5) Install the left side panel in the same manner as the right side.

6) Attach the front corners of the diverter panel to the side jacket panels using #10 sheet metal screws.

7) Install the horizontal (angle) jacket clips in the front edge of the side jacket panels. Slide this clip through the

rectangular slot that is about halfway up the front edge of the side jacket panels and secure with the 8-32 self

tapping screws provided.

8) Slip the Vertical Jacket Clip through the rectangular slot that is near the bottom of the front edge of the side jacket

panels. Secure with the 8-32 sheet metal screws provided.

9) Install the top jacket panel. Use #10 sheet metal screws to attach it to the rear jacket panel and the top-front corners

of the side panels.

10) Install the upper-front jacket panel. Insert the flange on the top of this panel under the top panel. Run two #10 sheet

metal screws into the horizontal jacket clips through the holes in the bottom of this panel.

11) Attach the door knobs to the Lower-Front Panel using 8-32 x 1/2 machine screws.

12) The labels have been applied at the factory. Verify the location of the labels according to the list below:

a) Clearance Label - Located on the top jacket panel.

b) Lighting Instructions - Located on the lower left corner of the right side panel next to the gas manifold

c) Lowest Permissible Water Level Plate - Located next to the bottom water gauge tapping.

d) Blow Down Card - Located just above the "Lowest Permissible" Water Level Plate

e) Wiring Diagram - Located on the inside of the removable door

f) "CROWN" Nameplate - Located on the top center of the outside of the removable door

g) Rating Plate - Located on the upper left of the right side panel

D. Gas Valve Installation

1) The gas valve assembly has been pre-piped with one half of a piping union and is to be connected to the other half of

the union located on the gas manifold.

2) Connect the pilot tubing from the pilot burner to the gas valve pilot tapping.

3) Connect the thermocouple lead to the gas valve (standing pilot boilers only).

E. Control and Trim Installation

(Refer to Figure A3 for Tapping Locations)

1) Install the pressure limit control into tapping “H” with the siphon. A ¾” x ¼” bushing has been factory installed. Do

not twist or otherwise bend the control upon installation.

2) Install the pressure gauge into tapping “B”. A ¾” x ¼” bushing has been factory installed. Tighten with wrench

applied to the square shank on the back of the gauge. Do not apply pressure on the gauge case since this may ruin the

calibration of the gauge.

3) Steam boiler with McDonnell Miller #67 float Low Water Cutoff

a) Install the low water cutoff per the instructions packed with the control.

b) Screw brass nipples with one side of the brass union into tappings “C”.

c) Attach the gauge glass / low water cutoff assembly to the other side of the brass union.

d) If not already present on the jacket, attach the blow-down card to the left side jacket panel, just above the “Lowest

Permissible Water Level” plate.

e) Provide blow down discharge piping.

4) Steam Boiler with Probe Low Water Cutoff

a) Install low water cutoff probe into tapping “B”. Handle probe with care.

b) Attach low water cutoff control to probe per the instructions packed with the control.

c) Install the gauge glass fittings and ½” extensions into tappings “C”. The lower fitting has a small drain cock.

d) Install gauge glass and protective rods in fittings.

5) Install safety valve (spindle must be in vertical position) into tapping “H” on the boiler left side (See Figure 1 in the

installation manual) using the ¾” NPT nipples and elbow supplied. Pipe the discharge of the safety relief valve to a

location where water or steam will not create a hazard or cause property damage if the valve opens. The end of the

discharge pipe must terminate in an unthreaded pipe. The safety valve discharge piping must be in an area where it is

not likely to become plugged by debris or subjected to freezing.

6) Install drain valve into tapping “J” on the boiler left side using 2 x ¾ bushing provided. (See Figure 1 in the installation

manual).

7) See Section VIII System Piping in the installation manual for instructions on completing the piping of this boiler

including the safety valve and drain valve provided by the factory.

a) Route the black wire marked “10” through the bushing located on the left jacket panel and connect it to one side of the

flame roll-out switch.

b) Route the red wire marked “7” through the bushing located on the left jacket panel and connect it to the other side of the

flame roll-out switch.

7) McDonnell Miller Series 67 Low Water Cutoff:

a) Route the black wire numbered “1” and the black wire with the white trace numbered “2” through the fitting on the end

of the low water cutoff.

b) Connect lead numbers “1” and “2” to the low water cutoff terminals marked “1” and “2” respectively.

8) Hydrolevel CG-400 Probe Low Water Cutoff:

a) Mount the end of the BX cable containing the 3-wire Molex plug and the single red wire to the control box with the BX

cable fitting nut supplied.

b) Insert the Molex plug into the receptacle mounted on the CG400 terminal board.
