J.BURNER INSTALLATION

Refer to burner manufacturer’s installation manual for proper installation, fuel piping, wiring, burner adjustment, burner start-up and service instructions. Consult Section VI of this manual for burner specifications and burner settings.

K.PACKAGED BOILER

1.The packaged boiler comes on it’s own shipping skid (see Figure 25) and the assembled block is hydrostatically tested at the factory. Once the boiler is in it’s final position, perform another hydrostatic test at 1½ times the working pressure of the boiler. Before boiler is put into service, all draw up rod nuts should be loosened and then retighten to finger tight plus 1/2 turn. The shipping skid can be used as a housekeeping pad unless local codes say otherwise. All controls are pre-wired down to the burner. If burner is equipped with a lead lag panel, lead lag controls will be shipped loose for header mounting. The power can be supplied to the burner if equipped

with a control panel. If burner has no panel, the power is supplied to the J-box on the front jacket.

2.SUPPLY CONNECTIONS - Removal of top jacket is not required to connect the supply riser(s), however one may find it easier. Refer to Figure

26 or 27 for water boilers and Figure 32 for steam boilers.

3.RETURN CONNECTIONS - The boiler is secured to the shipping skid with U bolts and 3” shipping nipples. Remove the bolts and nipples. Using

3” plugs and an appropriate pipe sealant, plug the unused return connections according to the minimum piping recommendations. Refer to Figure 26 or 27 for water boilers and Figure 32 for steam boilers.

4.If the boiler burner unit was factory fire tested, the burner was adjusted to approximately 10% CO2

(gas) or 12% CO2 (oil) with an over fire pressure as listed in the Burner Specifications, Section VI of this manual. Final adjustments should be made once the unit is installed and adjusted.
