To Clean the Boiler Flueways | Utica PEG-C guide

TO CLEAN THE BOILER FLUEWAYS:

1.Remove the burners from the combustion chamber by raising the burners upward from the manifold orifices and pulling toward the front of the boiler. To remove the burner with the pilot burner attached, first disconnect the pilot line tubing and thermocouple or pilot generator leads at the main electric gas valve. Do not remove the pilot line tubing at the pilot as the pilot burner orifice may drop out and become damaged or lost.

2.Disconnect the vent pipe from the draft hood.

3.Remove the draft hood. The draft hood is attached to the flue collector at the top by sheet metal screw(s).

4.Remove the top jacket panel. It is attached to the jacket by sheet metal screws.

5.Remove the flue collector from the boiler casting by loosening the nuts on the “J” bolts at either side of the flue collector.

6.Place a sheet of heavy paper or similar material over the bottom of the combustion chamber and brush down the flue passageways. The soot and scale will collect on the paper and is easily removed with the paper.

7.With the paper still in place in the combustion chamber, clean the top of the boiler castings of the boiler putty or silicone used to seal between the castings and the flue collector. Make certain chips are not lodged in the flueways.

When the cleaning process is completed, restore the boiler components to their original position. Use boiler putty or GE IS-808 silicone to seal around the flue collector and castings. Make certain the burner ends are inserted in the slots at the back of the combustion chamber and well down in position over the burner orifices. Follow the lighting instructions on the boiler to put the burners back in operation.

CHECK SAFETY CONTROL CIRCUIT, after burner adjustments are made, for satisfactory operation.

CAUTION:

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing

controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and dangerous operation.

Verify proper operation after service.

1.Pilot: with main burner operating turn the pilot gas adjusting screw clockwise until pilot gas is turned off. See figures 11 and 12 on pages 12 & 13. Within 90 seconds the main gas control should close, shutting off the gas to the main burner. After, check pilot operation. Relight following lighting instructions on pages 10-12.

2.Pressure control - on steam boilers - remove cover and note pressure setting. With the boiler operating, decrease the setting. When setting is lower than boiler pressure, the control will open, closing the automatic main gas valve. After checking pressure control, reset control to original setting.

3.Mechanical Low water cut-off: Operation may checked by opening the blow-off valve located in the lower portion of the body. This will drain water quickly from the cut-off body and break circuit to automatic main gas valve. Owner should blow off this control at least once each month of the heating season.

WARNING:

WATER WILL BE BOILING HOT.
