*Width can vary with gas train configuration.

If the V9A packaged boiler must pass through a 36” doorway, please specify.

**Add 6-1/2” to dimension C when equipped with optional top outlet.

***Varies slightly with burner and gas train configuration and with or without RTC.

1.Do not tilt. Exercise caution when lifting to avoid damage.

2.This boiler can be lifted by fork truck. Do not truck from front.

3.When lifting from rear, forks must extend beyond center of gravity and second skid cross bar.

4.When lifting from side, forks must extend to opposite skid rail and straddle center of gravity.

5.Cable spreader is to prevent jacket damage. Spreader width should equal B (width of skid) + 12”. Adjust cable lengths to lift at approximate center of gravity per chart.

L.BOILER PIPING - HEATING APPLICATIONS CONNECT SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING TO HEATING SYSTEM

Connect supply and return piping to heating system (see Figures 26 through 32). Flow direction for hot water boilers must be from the rear return out through the top front supply. Steam boilers can pipe return to the front as an alternate location. Some boiler sizes may require the use of additional supply and return tappings. Check Figure 24 and applicable piping diagram for the boiler size you are installing.

WARNING

Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in improper, unsafe system operation and void manufacturer’s warranty.

DO NOT improperly pipe boiler.

WARNING

All steam and hot water pipes must have clearances of at least 1/2” from all combustible construction.

WARNING

A hot water boiler installed above radiation level must be provided with a low water cutoff device as part of the installation.

1.HOT WATER HEATING - This boiler must be installed in strict accordance with this installation manual Deviations from these installation instructions may void manufacturer’s warranty. Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.

WARNING

Continued boiler operation for prolonged periods of time under conditions when temperature differential across the system exceeds 40°F and/ or, return water temperature stays below 135°F, may result in premature boiler failure due to flue gas condensation and/or thermal shock.

a.If the boiler is used in connection with refrigeration systems, boiler must be installed with chilled medium piped in parallel with heating boiler using appropriate valves to prevent chilled medium from entering boiler. See Figure 35.

b.If the 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 cooling system operation.

c.Burnham Commercial recommends maintaining temperature differential (drop) across the system at 40°F or less, and return water temperature at minimum of 135°F for optimum operation and long-term reliability.
