Installation
1. For use with LGB-6 through 12 boilers.
2. LOCAL INSPECTOR MUST CERTIFY BOILER FOR IRI COMPLIANCE.
3. Assemble pilot burner and flame sensor to main burners with pilot brackets. See Figures 2
and 3. Install ground wiring as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
4. Reinstall burner assemblies. See Table 1 for pilot burner and flame sensor locations.
5. Assemble control panel to boiler. See Figure 1.
6. Install gas controls as shown in Figure 4, page 4.
7. IRI installations require manual reset controls. Weil-McLain recommends installing manual
controls in addition to standard as required by local inspector. Refer to the LGB Boiler
Manual, “Boiler Controls” section.

Gas piping
1. Size gas piping considering:
a. Diameter and length of gas supply piping.
b. Number of fittings.
c. Maximum gas consumption (including any possible future expansion).
d. Allowable pressure drop from gas meter outlet to boiler. For pressure drops, see ANSI-Z223.1 – latest
edition.
2. Size natural gas piping from table below. Size piping to provide proper inlet pressure to gas valve when operating
at rated input.
a. Inlet gas pressure to manual main shutoff gas valve minimum 7” W.C. standard (5½” on special order) –
maximum 13” W.C.
b. If pressure to gas valve exceeds 13” W.C., install positive dead-end lockup gas pressure regulator up stream of
hand valve.
c. To obtain approximate cubic feet per hour, divide input (BTU/HR) by 1000.
3. Remove gas supply knockout disc from jacket panel.
4. Follow good piping practices.
5. Pipe joint compound (pipe dope) must be resistant to corrosive action of liquefied petroleum gases. Apply
sparingly only to male threads of pipe joints.
6. Install drip leg at inlet of gas connection to boiler. Where local utility requires, extend drip leg to floor.
7. Install ground joint union when required for servicing.
8. Support piping by hangers, not by boiler or its accessories.
9. Purge all air from supply piping.
10. Check all connections for leaks.
Do not check for gas leaks with an open flame – BUBBLE TEST. Failure to use bubble test or test for leaks can cause
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
a. Close manual main shutoff valve during any pressure testing at less than 14.0 inches water column.
b. Disconnect boiler and gas controls from gas supply piping during any pressure test greater than 14.0 inches
water column.
11. Set gas pressure switches as follows or to local inspector’s requirements:
a. Low – 3.0” W.C.
b. High – 14.0” W.C

Wiring
For your safety, turn off electrical power supply before making any electrical connections to avoid possible electrical
shock hazard.
1. All wiring must be installed in accordance with the requirements of the National Electrical Code and any additional
national, state or local code requirements having jurisdiction. All wiring must be N.E.C. Class 1.
2. The boiler must be electrically grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70latest edition. Use 105 °C. thermoplastic wire, or equivalent, if any of the original wire must be replaced (except
for pilot spark, sense and ground wires).
3. Supply wiring to the boiler must be No. 14 gauge or heavier. Install in conduit.
4. A separate electrical circuit with a fused disconnect switch (15 amp. recommended) should be used for the boiler.

Start-up
Turn off electrical power supply and gas supply to boiler before making the following connections
and adjustment. Failure to do so can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
1. Disable high fire by disconnecting the blue wire in the two-stage gas valve.
2. Connect manometer to gas manifold (manometer must be capable of measuring 0” to 14”
W.C.).
3. Turn on electrical power supply and gas supply to boiler.
4. Fire boiler, which will light off and remain on low fire.
5. While reading manometer, turn low fire adjustment screw clockwise (Figure 5) until pressure
reading is 1.2” W.C.
6. Turn off boiler.
Turn off electrical power supply and gas supply to boiler before the following steps. Failure to
do so can cause severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
7.
8.
9.
10.

Remove manometer from manifold and plug the tapping.
Reconnect the blue wire in the two-stage gas valve junction box.
Turn on electrical power supply and gas supply to boiler.
Follow operating instructions label on boiler to set boiler in operation.

control, when used):
a. Main burners operate at high fire.
b. Main burners operate at low fire when water temperature or pressure reaches setting of
firing rate control, when used.
8. Boiler shuts down when operating control satisfied.
9. Flame safeguard control lockout circuit energized if pilot is not proved during start-up or if
main flame is not proved during run sequence.
a. Flame safeguard control locks out on safety.
