How to Wire

Ensure power is turned off to boiler.

Locate the LWCO jumper wire in the factory wiring harness. Remove the jumper wire and install

the LWCO wiring from LWCO Model 1100-H4 (P/N 100592-01) into the plug of the PVG factory wiring.

How to Test

Shut off fuel supply. Lower water level until water level is BELOW the LWCO. Generate a boiler demand by turning up thermostat. Boiler should not attempt to operate. Increase the water level by filling the system. The boiler should attempt to operate once the water level is above the LWCO.

NOTICE

Ensure the location of the LWCO in the piping will allow for connection of the LWCO wiring harness to the factory wiring of the PVG.

C.Connect system supply and return piping to boiler. See Figures 11 and 12. Maintain minimum ½ inch clearance from hot water piping to combustible materials.

NOTICE

Burnham recommends sizing the system circulator to supply sufficient flow (GPM) to allow a 20°F temperature differential in the system. When sizing the system circulator, the pressure drop of all radiators, baseboard and radiant tubing and all connecting piping must be considered.

D.Install circulator with flanges, gaskets and bolts provided. Circulator harness allows circulator to be mounted on supply or return. Connect harness to circulator and secure any excess conduit.

E.Install supply manifold, pressure/temperature gauge and pressure relief valve.

See Figure 10A. Pressure Relief Valve must be installed with spindle in vertical position. Installation of the relief valve must comply with the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV.

WARNING

Pressure relief valve discharge piping must be piped such that the potential of severe burns is eliminated. DO NOT pipe in any area where freezing could occur. DO NOT install any shut-off valves, plugs or caps. Consult Local Codes for proper discharge piping arrangement.

F.Space heating and domestic water heating with Alliance™ water heater. Install Alliance water heater as a separate heating zone. Refer to Alliance Installation, Operating and Service Instructions for additional information.

G.If boiler is used in connection with refrigeration systems, boiler must be installed with chilled medium piped in parallel with the heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent chilled medium from entering boiler, see Figure 10.

H.If boiler is connected to heating coils located in air handling units where they may be exposed to refrigerated air, boiler piping must be equipped with flow control valves to prevent gravity circulation of boiler water during operation of cooling system.

Figure 10: Recommended Piping for Combination

Heating & Cooling (Refrigeration) System

I.Use a boiler bypass if the boiler is to be operated in a system which has a large volume or excessive radiation where low boiler water temperatures may be encountered (i.e. converted gravity circulation system, etc.).

PVG specifications

Burnham PVG, an innovative leader in the heating industry, presents a range of high-efficiency gas boilers that are designed specifically for residential applications. Burnham has established a solid reputation for producing reliable and durable heating solutions, with the PVG series exemplifying their commitment to quality and performance.

One of the standout features of the Burnham PVG is its advanced stainless steel heat exchanger. This design not only ensures superior heat transfer but also enhances durability and resistance to corrosion compared to traditional cast iron counterparts. The use of stainless steel contributes to the longevity of the system, allowing homeowners to enjoy efficient heating for years with less risk of breakdown.

The PVG series incorporates cutting-edge modulating technology, which adjusts the boiler’s output to match the heating demand. This modulating feature allows for more precise temperature control, optimizing energy consumption and minimizing fuel costs. Unlike conventional boilers that operate at a fixed output, the ability to modulate enables the PVG to deliver precisely the right amount of energy when needed, thus enhancing overall system efficiency.

In addition to its efficiency and performance capabilities, the Burnham PVG is designed with ease of installation and maintenance in mind. The compact design enables versatile installation options, even in tight spaces or retrofit applications. Furthermore, the accessible panel layout simplifies service and maintenance tasks, allowing HVAC professionals to perform routine checks and repairs with ease.

The PVG series also emphasizes user-friendly operations, featuring intuitive controls that allow for straightforward adjustments and monitoring. With options for direct vent and conventional venting systems, homeowners can select the best installation method for their specific needs and living environment.

Additionally, the Burnham PVG aligns with environmental considerations by meeting stringent emissions standards, contributing to reduced greenhouse gas outputs. With its energy-efficient operation and commitment to sustainability, the PVG series represents a forward-thinking choice for those looking to reduce their carbon footprint while enhancing home comfort.

In summary, Burnham PVG is characterized by its durable stainless steel construction, modulating technology, compact design, user-friendly controls, and eco-conscious performance. This series exemplifies what modern residential heating solutions should aspire to achieve: efficiency, reliability, and sustainability, making it an excellent choice for intelligent energy management in the home.
