SECTION 1.
General Information
1.1 Introduction
This manual provides information necessary for the installation, operation, and maintenance of Model BJV copper tube hydronic boilers.
All application and installation procedures should be reviewed completely before proceeding with the installation. Consult the factory, or local factory representative, with any problems or questions regarding this equipment. Experience has shown that most operating problems are caused by improper installation.
These boilers are available in two configurations; the BJVT has a thermocouple/continuous burning pilot, and the BJVS has an electronic intermittent ignition device (I.I.D.). Look for the model designation on the rating plate, which can be found on top of the boiler in the right rear corner.
The automatic vent dampers are standard on all U.S. and Canadian models. The side wall power venters can be used on both BJVS and BJVT models. Special instructions for their installation are included in the vent damper and power venter package. Read them carefully before installation.

Some accessory items are shipped in separate packages. Verify receipt of all packages listed on the packing slip. Inspect everything for damage immediately upon delivery, and advise the carrier of any shortages or damage. Any such claims should be filed with the carrier. The carrier, not the shipper, is responsible for shortages and damage to the shipment whether visible or concealed.
The warranty does not cover damage caused by improper assembly installation, operation or field modification.
