Inspection, cleaning, repair—

Chimney, flue pipe and boiler

Your boiler and heating system will last an indefinitely

long time at full efficiency, if it is inspected regularly

and is kept in good repair and adjustment.You, the user,

should make regular inspections, and report any prob-

lems to your service agency. At regular intervals, you

should have that agency inspect the system, and clean

the boiler and make repairs and adjustments as neces-

sary. What you and the service agency should do are

listed below.

Contact your gas supplier for a list of qualified service

and repair agencies.

User inspection

At least once each month during the heating season

and once just before cold weather starts:

(1) Look closely at the smokepipe and draft hood (see

Figure 18, 19 & 20). Make sure pipe joints are snug

and are fastened with screws. Cement at the chim-

ney joint should fill the joint and should not leak air.

There should be no visible signs of rust (corrosion)

or salts from water evaporation.

(2) Look at all water (or steam) piping. There should be

no leaks or signs of leaks at any pipe joints or

around the boiler. Drain valves, other valves, and

the relief valve (or steam safety valve) should not

drip or leak.

(3A) On water boilers:

The temperature and pressure gauge indicates the

pressure in the boiler at each water temperature.

For most installations, it should indicate about 12 to

15 psi pressure when temperature is about 70 to

100 degrees F, and from 15 psi to 25 psi when tem-

perature is up to 240 degrees F. FOR YOUR SYS-

TEM, there is one correct pressure for each temper-

ature.ASK YOUR INSTALLER OR SERVICEPER-

SON TO EXPLAIN AND SHOW YOU. Learn what

normal pressures to look for. If pressure decreases

from normal, your system is losing water.If pres-

sure rises from normal, the relief valve will open to

relieve the pressure. Call your service organization

if pressures are higher or lower than normal, and if

the relief valve spills water. Repair or adjustment is

needed.

(3B) On steam boilers:

(a) The water level in the gauge glass must be kept

constant. You must have your installer or service

organization explain to you how water is added to

maintain water level.

(b) Most boiler models are equipped with float type low

water cutoff.

You must be familiar with this LOW WATER CUT-

OFF, how it works and HOW TO BLOW IT DOWN.

Instructions are supplied with it. Ask your service

organization to explain and show you blowdown.

The cutoff should be blown down three times the

first week and should be blown down weekly there-

after. Maintenance of the low water cutoff is vital in

protecting your steam boiler against breakage due

to loss of water.

If your boiler is equipped with an electronic probe

type low water cutoff, it requires periodic testing.

Ask your service agency to test this low water cutoff

twice a year.

(4) Study the labels attached to your boiler, especially

the LIGHTING AND SHUTDOWN instructions. Have

your installer or service organization show you how

to start and shut down the boiler following those

instructions. The lighting instructions on your boiler

are also reproduced, with pictures, in this manual.

(5) Stand near the boiler, look and listen. As the burners

start and shut off, there should be no unusual noise.

No fire should be visible coming out of the front

when the burners start or run.

(6) Ample air is required for your boiler to burn fuel

cleanly and safely. Check to make sure the open-

ings provided in your house are not closed and are

not obstructed. This is most important in colder

weather, when most air is needed.

5

Figure 18. (Galaxy GG, GX, GXH,

Sentinel SE, Sentry SX boilers) Figure 19. Figure 20.

Your gas boiler must be installed and serviced by a qualified service agency or

gas supplier. The lack of proper service can result in a dangerous condition.

(7) If equipped with vent damper, which can ONLY be

installed on boilers equipped with 24 volt gas valve:

(a) Your vent damper must be OPEN when the boiler is

operating (BURNERS ARE ON). Ask your installer

or serviceperson to show you the vent damper posi-

tion indicator, indicating the open and closed

damper positions. Inspect for proper operation

monthly. If damper position indicator indicates that

the damper is closed when the boiler is operating,

SHUTDOWN the boiler immediately and call your

service agency.

(b) This device must be installed and inspected annually

by a qualified installer in accordance with the

Slant/Fin vent damper installation instructions. If

improperly installed, a hazardous condition such as

explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning could

result. If installed improperly, all vent damper and

boiler warranties shall be voided.

SERVICE INSPECTION

The selected service organization should make these

inspections,preferably once each year, before the cold

weather begins:

(1) Make the checks for leaks, corrosion, noise, flame,

heat and outside air supply described under User’s

Inspection.

(2) Check safety operation of the HIGH LIMIT CON-

TROL (and, for steam boilers, the LOW WATER

CUTOFF) and GAS VALVE. If the boiler is equipped

with an automatic vent damper, check this device for

safeand automatic operation.

(3) Check gas input rate, by clocking the gas meter.

Inspect burner flame. Clean and adjust burners and

adjust gas rate as required.

(4) Disconnect flue pipe from draft hood. Remove draft

hood and inspect boiler heating surface below. If any

soot, scale or rust is visible, clean the boiler as

described in the next section.

(5) Replace anycorroded smokepipe. Repair or re-

place other devices as found necessary. Check and

adjust for normal operation. Explain to the user

what was done and what to look for to prevent fu-

ture problems.

CLEANING—BOILER, SMOKEPIPE,

CHIMNEY (See Figure 21). If necessary as indicated

in (4) of Service Inspection section, the selected service

organization should clean the boiler as follows:

(1) Shut off electric power and gas supply.

(2) Disconnect smokepipe and remove draft hood.

(3) Remove jacket top panel. Remove flue cover

from boiler.

(4) Remove access door and remove burners, or place

cover over burners for dirt protection.

(5) Brush down boiler flues to bare metal. Clean all

debris from bottom of boiler after brushing.

Clean burner slots, if necessary.

(6) Replace flue cover and seal with furnace cement.

Replace burners if removed. Replace access door.

(7) Inspect draft hood and smokepipe. If corroded,

replace. If soot or deposits from condensation are

found, clean out, and inspect inside of chimney for

soot or other deposits. Clean if necessary.

(8) Reconnect hood and flue pipe and fasten and seal

all joints. Turn on gas and electric power.

(9) Check boiler performance after cleaning, and adjust

as necessary.

NOTE: Condensate (water), rust, scale and soot are not

found in the boiler or smokepipe of normally operating

system. If any of these is found, eliminate the cause.

The most likely cause of condensate and corrosion or

soot is (a) restricted air supply, or (b) a faulty chimney.

Your gas boiler must be installed and serviced by a qualified service agency or

gas supplier. The lack of proper service can result in a dangerous condition.

If you find during your inspection any unusual

noise, water leak, corroded smokepipe, abnor-

mal water pressure or flame rollout, call for

service immediately.
