Boilers are equipped for altitudes up to 2,000 feet only
U.S.A. Only - For altitudes above 2,000 feet, ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4% for each 1,000 feet above sea level.
Canada Only - Boilers may be used at high altitude by using a certified field conversion kit, resulting in a 10% derate.
+ Heating Capacity based on D.O.E. (Department of Energy) test procedure. Add 5½" to height when vent damper is used.
2 section boilers are equipped with a 3" diameter flue collar on the draft diverter, and use a furnished 3" x 4" increaser fitting to install
the furnished 4" vent damper.
New York City MEA Number 39-86=E Vol. IV.
The Ratings marked "Net 1=B=R Ratings" indicate the amount
of remaining heat input that can be used to heat the radiation
or terminal units. The Net I=B=R Ratings shown are based on
an allowance of 1.15 in accordance with the factors shown on
the 1=B=R Standard as published by The Hydronics Institute.
Selection of boiler size should be based upon "Net I=B=R
Rating" being equal to or greater than the calculated heat loss
of the building.
The manufacturer should be consulted bet'orcselecting a boiler
for installations having unusual piping and pickup requirements.
These boilers must stand on a non-combustible floor. If in
stalled on a combustible floor, use Combustible Floor Base
Number 42135-1 or 146-14-031 (2-6 section boilers) or
42135-2 or 146-14-032 (7-9 section boilers).
BOILERS FOR USE AT HIGH ALTITUDE
This boiler is factory equipped for use at altitudes of 0-2,000
feet above sea level. For use at altitudes above 2,000 feet
above sea level, the input ratings are reduced by a change in
main burner orifice size.
U.S.A. Only - For altitudes above 2,000 feet above sea
level, input ratings should be reduced at the rate of 4% for
each 1,000 feet above sea level. Consult the National Fuel
Gas Code (NFPA54/ANSI Z223.1-1atest edition), or the
manufacturer for correct orifice sizing information. High
altitude orifices are available from the boiler manufacturer.
Canada Only - For altitudes in the range of 2,000-4,500
feet above sea level, boilers may be field equipped for use
at high altitude by using a certified field conversion kit. The
change in main burner orifice size results in the boiler's
input rating being reduced by 10%. The conversion shall
be carried out by a manufacturer's authorized
representative, in accordance with the requirements of the
manufacturer, provincial or territorial authorities having
jurisdiction and in accordance with the requirements of the
CSA-B149.1 and CSA-B149.2 Installation Codes. The
certified field conversion kit includes a conversion data
plate, which must be attached to the boiler adjacent to the
rating plate, indicating that the boiler has been converted
for high altitude use. The conversion data plate must be
filled in with the correct conversion information.
Check to be sure you have the right size boiler before starting
the installation. _ See rating and capacity table on previous
page. Also be sure the new boiler is or the type of gas you are
using. Check the rating plate on the right side of the boiler.
You must see that the boiler is supplied with the correct type
of gas, fresh air for combustion, and a suitable electrical supply.
Also, the boiler must be connected to a suitable venting system
and an adequate piping system. Finally, a thermostat, properly
located, is needed for control of the heating system. If you
have any doubts as to the various requirements, check with
local authorities and obtain professional help where needed.
Take the time to complete all of the steps for SAFE and
PROPER operation of the heating system.
If this boiler is installed in a building under construction,
special care must be taken to insure a clean combustion
air supply during the construction process. Airborne
particulates such as from drywall dust and from fiberglass
insulation can clog the burner ports and cause incomplete
combustion and sooting.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction, the
installation must conform to American Society of Mechanical
Engineers Safety Code for Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, No. CSD-1.
The installation must conform to the requirements of the
authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1-
latest revision.
In Canada, the boiler shall be installed according to CSA-
13149.1 and .2, Installation Code for Gas Burning
Appliances and Equipment.

EXAMPLE1: BoilerLocatedinUnconfinedSpace
An unconfined space is defined as a space whose volume isnot less
than 50 cubic feet per 1,000 Btu per hour of the total input rating of all
appliances installed inthat space.
If your boiler is in an open area (unpartitioned basement) in a
conventionalhouse,the air that leaksthroughthe cracksarounddoors
and windows will usually be adequate to provide air for combustion.
The doors should not fit tightly. Do not caulk the cracks around the
windows.
Equipmentlocated in buildings of unusuallytight construction shall be
provided with air for combustion,ventilation, and dilution of flue gases
using the methods described in example 2B or shall be specially
engineered. The authority having jurisdiction must approve specially

FOR USE WITH COOLING UNITS
A. This boiler, when used in connection with chilled water
systems, must be installed so that the chilled water is piped
in parallel with the heating boiler. Appropriate valves must
be used to prevent the chilled water from entering the heating
boiler (Fig. 6).
B. When this boiler is connected to heating coils located in air
handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated
air circulation, the piping system shall be equipped with flow
control valves or other automatic means to prevent gravity
circulation of the boiler water during the cooling cycle.
LOW DESIGN WATER TEMPERATURE
SYSTEMS (BELOW 140 °)
If the boiler is to be used in a heating system where design
water temperatures below 140° F are desired (e.g. radiant floor
heating), a 3-way or 4-way mixing valve or suitable alternative
is required to prevent low temperature return water from
entering the boiler. Follow the mixing valve manufacturer's
installation instructions.
The minimum design return water temperature to the boiler to

CHECK YOUR CHIMNEY
This is a very important part of your heating system. It must be
clean, the right size, properly constructed and in GOOD
CONDITION. No boiler can function properly with a bad
chimney. Fig. 7 gives typical chimney sizes. Fig. 8 gives you
an idea how a boiler might be vented to a chimney. Note that
the height (HT) is measured from the vent pipe to the top.
CHIMNEY SIZING
Chimney sizing, and all other aspects of the vent installation
must be in accordance with Part 7 of the National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1 latest revision, and applicable provisions
of the local building codes.
In Canada, follow CAN/CGA B149.1 and B149.2, Installation
Codes for Gas Burning Appliances and Equipment.
CONNECTING THE VENT DAMPER AND VENT
CONNECTOR
Refer to Fig. 1 flue diagram for the size and location of the vent
(flue opening). Use a 28 gauge (minimum) galvanized pipe to
connect to the chimney.
IMPORTANT - The damper blade on the furnished vent damper
has a 1/2 square inch hole (approximately3/4 diameter). On
boilers equipped with standing pilot, the hole must be left open.
On boilers equipped with intermittent ignition, the hole should
be plugged by using the plug supplied with the vent damper.
1. Position furnished vent damper on top of flue outlet collar.
Fasten damper securely to flue outlet collar with sheet
metal screws. Make sure damper blade has clearance to
operate inside of diverter.
On 2 section boilers equipped with vent damper, the
supplied 4-inch vent damper is equipped with a 3- to 4-
inch adapter so that the 4-inch vent damper may be
installed on the boiler's 3-inch flue outlet collar. Fasten all
fittings securely.
As An Option (U.S.A. Only)
The damper may be installed in any horizontal or vertical
position, closer to the flue outlet collar preferred. Follow
the diagrams - Figures 9, 10 and 11.
2. Install the vent damper to service only the single boiler for
which it is intended. The damper position indicator shall
be in a visible location following installation. Locate the
damper so that it is accessible for servicing.
3. The damper must be in the open position when appliance
main burners are operating.
4. The boiler is equipped with a factory wired harness that
plugs into the vent damper.
5. Vent pipe must be same size as the flue outlet collar, except
2 section boilers with vent damper as noted above.
6. Slope pipe up from boilerto chimney not less than 1/4" perfoot.
7. Run pipe as directly as possible with as few elbows as
possible.
8. Do not connect to fireplace flue.
9. End of vent pipe must be flush with inside face of chimney
flue. Use a sealed-in thimble for the chimney connection.
10. Horizontal run should not be longer than s/4 the
chimney height (HT) (Fig, 8).
The sections of vent pipe should be fastened with sheet metal
screws to make the piping rigid. Horizontal portions of the vent
system must be supported to prevent sagging. Use stovepipe
wires every 5' to support the pipe from above If the vent pipe
must go through a crawl space, double wall vent pipe should
be used Where vent pipe passes through a combustible wall
or partition, use a ventilated metal thimble. The thimble should
be 4 inches larger in diameter than the vent pipe.

REMOVING EXiSTiNG BOILER FROM
COMMON VENTING SYSTEM
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 appliances remaining connected to it.
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 deficiencies which
could cause an unsafe condition.

NOT CAUTION AND FOOTNOTES
1. Install the vent damper to service only the single
appliance for which it is intended. If improperly
installed, a hazardous condition, such as an explosion
or carbon monoxide poisoning, could result.
2. Do not install the vent damper on pipe curve.
3. Do not run wires near high temperature surfaces. Use
stand-off brackets if necessary.
For safe, efficient operation, the vent damper and all flue product
carrying areas of the appliance must be checked annually by
you, with particular attention given to deterioration from
corrosion or other sources. If you see corrosion or other
deterioration, contact yourheating contractorfor repairs. Check
vent damper operation as follows:
1. When the boiler is off, check that the vent damper positions
indicator points to the closed position, Fig. 11.
2. Turn the thermostat or controller up to call for heat and
check the vent damper indicator points to the open
position, Fig. 11.
3. Turn the thermostat or controller down again and check
that the damper position indicator returns to the closed
position.
MANUAL OPERATION OF THE VENT DAMPER
The vent damper may be placed in the open position to permit
burner operation by using the "HOLD DAMPER OPEN" switch,
located on the damper controller. The thermostat will control
the burner firing as before, while the damper will remain open.
DO NOT turn damper open manually or motor damage will
result. Set switch to "AUTOMATIC OPERATION" to close vent
damper during burner off cycle.
For further information, and for a vent damper troubleshooting
guide, refer to the manual that was packaged with the vent

NOTES FOR CANADA ONLY
1. Canadian Standard CAN1-2.28-M81 prohibits the use of
vent dampers on propane fired appliances equipped with
intermittent ignition.
2. In Canada, the vent damper must be attached directly to
the flue outlet collar, with the exception of the 2 section
boiler, where the 3- to 4-inch adapter is supplied with the
vent damper.
,
No other interconnectng pieces are allowed between the
boiler and the vent damper.
In Canada, vent dampers are not an option. Boilers are
either factory built for use with a vent damper and the vent
damper is supplied with the boiler, or they are factory built
for use without a vent damper. In the second case a vent
damper cannot be installed later.
CHECK GAS SUPPLY
The gas pipe to your boiler must be the correct size for the
length of the run and for the total Btu per hour input of all gas
utilization equipment connected to it. See Fig. 12 for the proper
size. Be sure your gas line complies with local codes and gas
company requirements.
The boiler and its individual shutoff valve must be disconnected
from the gas supply piping system during any pressure testing
of that system at test pressures in excess of 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
The boiler must be isolated from the gas supply piping system
by closing its individual manual shutoff valve during any pres-
sure testing of the gas supply piping system at test pressures
equal to or less than 1/2 psig (3.5 kPa).
CONNECTING THE GAS PiPiNG
Refer to Fig. 13 for the general layout at the boiler. It shows
the basic fittings you will need. The gas line enters the boiler
from the right side.
The following rules apply:
1. Use only those piping materials and joining methods listed
as acceptable by the authority having jurisdiction, or in
the absence of such requirements, by the National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI 223.I-latest revision. In Canada, follow
the CAN/CGA B149.1 and .2 Installation Codes for Gas
Burning Appliances and Equipment.
2. Use pipe joint compound suitable for LP gas on male
threads only.
3. Use ground joint unions.
4. Install a sediment trap upstream of gas controls.
5. Use two pipe wrenches when making the connection to
the gas valve to keep it from turning.
6. Install a manual shut-off valve in vertical pipe about 5
feet above floor.
7. Tighten all joints securely.
8. Propane gas connections should only be made by a
licensed propane installer.
9. Two-stage regulation should be used by the propane
installer.
10. Propane gas piping should be checked out by the
propane installer.
CHECKING THE GAS PiPiNG
Upon completion of piping, check immediately for gas leaks.
Open the manual shut-off valve. Test for leaks by applying soap
suds (or a liquid detergent) to each joint. Bubbles forming indicate
a leak. CORRECT EVEN THE SMALLEST LEAK AT ONCE.

RELIEF VALVE
You must have a relief valve on your boiler. Water expands as
it is heated. If there is no place for the water to expand into,
water pressurewilJbuild up inside the boiler and system. Should
this happen, the relief valve will automaticalJy open at a
predetermined pressure. This will relieve the strain on the boiler
and system. Run a pipe from the relief valve outlet (pipe must
be same size as outlet and the open end must not be threaded)
to an open drain, tub or sink, or other suitable drainage point
not subject to freezing. Failure to do so may cause water
damage or injury should relief valve release.
EXPANSION TANK
In a properly assembled system, the expanding water flows
into a expansion tank. This tank should be of the correct size.
The tank is filled with air. As the water expands it compresses
the air in the tank to form an air pressure cushion. This "spring-
like" cushion serves to maintain correct operating water
pressure regardless of water temperature. This assures a "full
measure" of a water, even in the highest radiation unit of the
system. It also prevents blowing off of the relief valve.
The air in the tank in the beginning (with system filled with cold
water) is sufficient for proper operation. The tank also serves
as a trap for excess air in the system. The air would cause
gurgling in the pipes and inefficient circulation in the radiators
if left in the system .It is possible for a tank to become
"waterlogged" (filled with water). It can also become overfilled
with air. This can happen after filling the system with new water.
Fittings provided on the tank and in the line to the tank are for
bleeding off excess water or air.
When installing this tank, it is important:
1) That the tank be higher than the boiler top.
2) That the pipe to the tank continuously rises up to the tank
(so that air can "bubble" up to it).
DIAPHRAGM TYPE EXPANSION TANK
The diaphragm type expansion tank (EX-TROL) takes the place
of the conventional expansion tank. Carefully read the
instructions packed with your EX-TROL tank assembly.
The EX-TROL tank comes to you with a 10-12 pounds per square
inch air charge. This is the same as the pressure produced in
the system by the automatic fill valve. When the system is first
filled, the EX TROL tank will contain little or no water.
As the water is heated its pressure increases. It expands into
the EX-TROL tank, compressing the air in the tank. This
compressed air cushion permits the water in the system to
expand as the temperature changes.
The diaphragm type tank can be mounted on the air purger
fitting or at any convenient place in the supply or return line.
AIR ELIMINATING FITTING (AIR PURGER)
An air purger is used to remove excess air from the system. It
is installed in the supply line. It will eliminate air from the water
before it reaches the radiators and bleed off this air.
MAiN AiR VENT FOR DOWN FLOW SYSTEMS
OR DIAPHRAGM TYPE EXPANSION TANK
Before a system is filled with water, there is air in the pipes and
radiation units. Some of it will be trapped as the system is filled.
It is possible to eliminate most of this air through the air vents
on the radiation units. A main air vent will speed and simplify
this. It should be installed on the highest point in the supply
main when all radiation is below top of boiler.
AUTOMATIC FILL VALVE
For safe, efficient operation, a hot water system must be
completely filled with water. Adding new water, when needed
can be done manually (by use of a hand valve in the water
supply line). This requires regular attention to the system's
needs. An automatic fill valve accomplishes this without
attention. It is installed in the supply line on hot water boilers
only. The valve operates through water pressure differentials.
It does not require an electrical connection.
DRAIN VALVE
This manual valve Provides a means of draining all water from
the boiler and system. It is often installed in the 3/4" tapping at
the bottom of the end boiler section. Or it can be installed in a
tee where the return line enters the boiler.
WATER TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The water temperature limit control in the relay is adjustable
and may be set as necessary. It may be set as low as 140°F,
or as high as 240°F. This depends on the type and amount of
radiation involved and weather conditions.
CIRCULATING PUMP
Every forced hot-water system requires a circulating pump. A
separate pump or zone valve is required for each zone, if you
have a two or more zone system. This pump must have the
capacity to provide the circulation required by your system.
VENT DAMPER
This product is an automatic, motorized stack damper that has
been developed to increase the efficiency of heating system
by reducing standby losses from the heating apparatus and
the conditioned air space. The damper closes the chimney
vent when the burner is off and fully opens it when combustion
is required.
14
ROLLOUT SWITCH
(FLAME ROLLOUT SAFETY SHUTOFF)
The rollout switch is a temperature-sensitive fuse link device.
It is located on the boiler base just outside the fire box. In the
event of heat exchanger flueway blockage causing flame to
roll out of the fire box, the fuse will blow, shutting clown the flow
of gas to the main burners. The fuse does not change in
appearance when blown.
If the rollout switch blows, it must be replaced with an exact
replacement. Check heat exchanger flueways for blockage
when restoring system to operating condition. DO NOT operate
system without a rollout switch.
SPILL SWITCH
(BLOCKED VENT SAFETY SHUTOFF)
The spill switch isa manual reset discthermostat with a fixed setpoint
(340°F), and normally closed contacts. It is located at the relief
opening of the integral draft diverter. In the event of chimney or
venting system blockage causing products of combustion to spill
out of the relief opening, the spill switch disc heats up and the spill
switch contacts open, shutting down the flow of gas to the main
burners by removing power to the gas valve.
In the event that the spill switch contacts open, the reset button
on the back of the switch will pop up. The spill switch must be
reset manually, after the switch has cooled off, by pushing the
reset button down. Check the venting system and chimney for
blockage when restoring the system to operating condition. DO
NOT operate the boiler without a spill switch.
HOW AHOT-WATER SYSTEM OPERATES
Your entire heating system (boiler, piping and radiation units)is
filled with water. As the water in the boiler is heated, it is pumped
from the top of the boiler through the supply main to the radia-
tion units. The cooler water in them flows back through the re-
turn main to the boiler. This provides positive and rapid response
to the thermostat.
FILLING SYSTEM WITH WATER
Close the air vents on all radiation units. Open the valves to
these units. Make sure the boiler and expansion tank drain
cocks are closed. The air bleed screw on the tank drain fitting
should be closed. Open the valve in the line from the boiler to
the expansion tank. Open the water inlet to your boiler and
leave it open. Start with the lowest radiation unit. Open the air
vent on this unit. When all the air has escaped and water starts
to flow from the vent, close it. Go to the next radiation unit, and
repeat this process. Repeat until you have covered every
radiation unit in the system (ending up at the highest unit in the
system). If your units have automatic vents, this manual venting
is unnecessary but it will speed up the proper filling of your
system.
If your system is a closed expansion tank system, you may
leave it open to refill the system automatically as needed. Check
the temperature pressure gauge. Not the position of the hand
indicating pressure. This should be between 10 and 15 Ibs.
Any lowering of this movable hand below 10 Ibs. Will indicate
loss of water due to leakage. The automatic fill valve should
compensate for this. Instructions are packages with the valve.
WARNING
Never run water into a hot empty boiler.

AUTOMATIC GAS VALVE
The Automatic Gas Valve opens or closes according to the
heat requirements of the thermostat and temperature limit
control. It closes if the pilot goes out. Each individual control
must be operating correctly before any gas can pass to the
burners. Any one control can hold the gas supply from burner
regardless of the demand of any other control.
SAFETY PILOT
Safety Pilot prevents the flow of gas to burner if the pilot goes
out, or will not ignite.
GAS VALVE SAFETY SHUTDOWN TEST
1. For boilers equipped with continuous pilot, with main burners
firing, disconnect the thermocouple from the gas valve. The
gas valve should immediately shut off the main burners and
the pilot.
2. For boilers equipped with intermittent ignition, with main
burners firing, disconnect the ignition cable from the
intermittent pilot control box. The gas valve should shut off
the main burners.
TURN OFF ELECTRIC POWER to boiler before
reconnecting ignition cable, to prevent electric shock.
RELIGHT
The electric and gas shall be offfor 5 minutes before relighting.
THERMOSTAT
Keep it set at a desired room temperature. If windows are to
be opened or heat is not needed, move thermostat pointer to a
lower setting.
NOTE
In the event of failure of any component, the system will not
operate or will go into safety lockout. The system is
completely self-checking. On every call for heat, each
component must be functioning properly to permit operation.
On safety lockout the system has to be reset by turning the
thermostat to the lowest setting for one minute, then back
to the normal setting.
Safe lighting and other performance criteria were met with
the gas manifold and control assembly provided on the boiler
when the boiler underwent tests specified in ANSI Z21.13 -
latest revision.

Pilot flame should surround 3/8" to 1/2" of the pilot sensor.
Refer to Fig. 18. If flame needs adjusting, do it as follows:
1. Remove screw cover over pilot adjusting screw.
2. Insert small screwdriver and adjustflame as needed. Turn screw
counterclockwise to increase flame, clock-wise to decrease.
3. Replace screw cover over pilot adjusting screw.
MAiN BURNER(S)
The main burners do not require primary air adjustment and
are not equipped with primary air shutters. Main burner flames
should form sharp blue inner cones in a softer blue outer mantel,
with no yellow. Puffs of air from blowing on the flame or
stamping on the floor will cause the flames to turn orange
momentarily. This is not unusual. Remain still when observing
the main burner flames. If the flame appearance is not correct,
check main burner orifices and the burner throat and flame
ports for dust and lint obstruction. It may be necessary to
remove the rollout shield to observe the main burner flames.
Replace rollout shield after observation. Refer to Figure 17.

idea how the system works. Example: If your system does not
give quite enough heat in very cold weather, you can raise the
limit setting to 220 ° F Use the boiler gauge to check your
settings. Make the adjustments according to its readings. Check
thermostat operation. When set above temperature indicated
on the thermometer, boiler should ignite. Make certain the
thermostat turns off the boiler when room temperature reaches
the selected setting and starts the boiler operating when room
temperature falls a few degrees.
After setting limit control to limit setting, check to see if it shuts
off the gas supply to the burners. Turn your thermostat up to call
for heat and let your boiler run until the temperature of the water
reaches the limit setting. The gas valve should shut off and the
circulator keep running until the thermostat is satisfied, or the
water cools enough to restart the burners through the limit control.
Finally, set the thermostat for the desired temperature. Special
conditions in your home and the location of the thermostat will
govern this setting.
18
BURNERS
A visual check of the pilot end main burner flames should be
made at least once each year, preferably at the beginning of
the heating season. See page 21
RELIEF VALVE
This valve should open automatically if the system pressure
exceeds the pressure rating (usually 30 psi) of the relief valve.
Should it ever fail to open under this condition, shut down your
system. Drain the system until system pressure is reduced
below the relief valve pressure rating. If valve discharge oc-
curs, or if valve fails to open as described above, contact an
authorized contractor or qualified service technician to replace
the relief valve and inspect the heating system to determine
the cause, as this may indicate an equipment malfunction.
This valve should be tested every month during periods of boiler
operation, and at the beginning and end of any extended non-
service period. Prior to testing, make certain discharge pipe is
properly connected to valve outlet and arranged so as to con-
tain and safely dispose of boiler discharge. Test at normal sys-
tem operating pressure. Hold the trip lever fully open for at
least five seconds in order to flush free any sediment that may
lodge on the valve seat. Then permit the valve to snap shut.
EXPANSION TANK
As previously noted, this tank may become waterlogged, or
may receive an excess of air. Frequent automatic opening of
the relief valve indicates water logging. A high boiler tempera-
ture accompanied by unusually low radiation unit temperature
(and "knocking") indicates excess air in tank.
To correct either condition, close the valve between the boiler
and the tank. Drain the tank until it is empty. Check all the tank
plugs and fittings. Tighten as necessary. Open the valve be-
tween the boiler and tank. Water will rise to the normal height
in the tank if you have an automatic fill valve (otherwise, manu-
ally refill the system).
BOILER FLUE PASSAGES
Under normal operating conditions, with the burners properly
adjusted, it should not be necessary to clean the boiler flue
gas passages. However, to assure trouble-flee operation, we
recommend that you have the flue passages, burner
adjustment, and operation of the controls checked once each
year by a competent Service Technician.
Before the start of each season (or whenever system has
been shut down for some time) recheck the whole system for
leaks.., and recheck the boiler and vent pipe for leaks. Replace
or patch any boiler seals that are faulty.
VENT PIPE
The venting of this unit is very important and the piping
should be checked at least once aseason, if the vent piping
shows any sign of leaking, replace it immediately.
WATER SYSTEM
If system is to remain out of service during freezing weather,
always drain it completely (water left in to freeze will crack the
pipes and/or boiler).
CLEANING YOUR BOILER AND BURNERS
Flue passages between sections should be examined yearly
and cleaned if necessary. To clean, remove burners, pilot, and
vent pipe, Remove top and front jacket panels. Remove the
two screws attaching the intermediate front panel to the left
and right side jacket panels. Remove the draft diverter and
intermediate front panel as a unit. Carefully remove the cerafelt
gasket strips. Clean passageways between sections with a
flexible handle wire brush. Remove dirt from bottom of boiler
and from between sections by vacuuming. Make sure all flame
ports in burners are open and clear. Shake out or blow out all
loose dirt in burners. Reseal seams between adjacent sections
as necessary with 400 F RTV silicone sealant. Reassemble
all parts. Be sure to check tightness of pilot connections and
condition of burner flames after reassembly (see Figures 17
and 18). Be sure vent pipe connections to chimney are secure
and no obstructions are present.
CIRCULATOR PUMP ISOLATION VALVES
The isolation valves in the circulator pump flanges should be
operated manually once or twice per year to prevent the valves
from becoming stuck in the open position Rotate the valves
from the open position to the closed position and back to the
open position.
