Burnham FM01FD00B manual Lower Tie Bar Installation

Figure 22: Lower Tie Bar Installation

Repeat operation until all vertical channels have been installed. Using an open end wrench and ratchet with socket, tighten all 5/8” bolts and nuts to secure frame brackets to casting legs.

13.Locate Jacket Carton(s), marked ‘JC-2’ and remove contents. Install lower tie bars into slotted ‘I’ openings on lower frame brackets to provide proper spacing between frame channels, refer to Figure 22. Determine proper location of tie bar by comparing it’s length to the distance between brackets. Lay each tie bar on the floor at that location along both sides of boiler.

Step a. Starting at the rear and working to the front, hold the first tie bar on a slight angle and pass the end through ’I’ opening in rear bracket as shown in Figure 22.

Step b. Lower the tie bar between brackets as shown in Figure 22.

Step c. Pull tie bar back and engage opposite end through ‘I’ opening in front or center section bracket as shown in Figure 22.

Step d. Engage slotted end of hook over lip of ‘I’ opening and push downward to lock position. If necessary, spread brackets by pushing or pulling vertical channels until tie bar drops into locking position, see Detail ‘A’ in Figure 22. For multiple tie bars, each consecutive bar must be rotated end for end so the top flanges oppose each other, for entry into ‘I’ opening, see Detail ‘B’ in Figure 22. Complete process to front bracket and repeat on opposite side.
