d)4” galvanized smoke pipe will fit inside the inlet collar on the BWC boiler. Depending upon the exact OD of the pipe used, it may be necessary to crimp this pipe. Secure with a single #10 sheet metal screw through the hole in the inlet collar and seal the outside of the joint with silicone. If PVC is used for the intake system, use a short piece of 4” galvanized pipe to connect the PVC to the boiler. Silicone the outside of the joint between the PVC and galvanized pipe.

e)Two 90-degree elbows may be used to make the 180-degree air intake termination elbow used on vertical direct vent installations.

7)Rodent Screens - A rodent screen is provided with the BWC boiler for installation in the air inlet terminal.

8)Condensate Drain Line - All condensate which forms in the boiler or vent system collects in the sump under the heat exchanger and leaves the boiler through the condensate trap. This trap allows condensate to drain from the sump while retaining flue gases in the boiler. A length of drain hose is supplied with the boiler and is connected to the trap as shown in Figure 6.11. This hose may be routed through the back of the boiler or to either side through the knockouts provided. Route this hose to a drain or other suitable point for disposal. Note the following when disposing of the condensate:

a)If the condensate drain line must be extended, construct the extension from PVC or CPVC pipe. Insert the hose provided with the boiler into the end of the extension as shown in Figure 6.11.

b)Condensate is slightly acidic. Do not use metallic pipe or fittings in the condensate drain line. Do not route the drain line through areas that could be damaged by leaking condensate.

c)Some jurisdictions may require that the condensate be neutralized before being disposed of. Dispose of condensate in accordance with local codes.

d)Do not route, or terminate, the condensate drain line in areas subjected to freezing temperatures.

e)If the point of condensate disposal is above the trap, it will be necessary to use a condensate pump to move the condensate to the drain. In such cases, select a condensate pump that is approved for use with condensing furnaces. If overflow from this pump would result in property damage, select a pump with an overflow switch and use this switch to shut down the boiler. Alternatively, if heat is a necessity, use the overflow switch to trigger an alarm.

f)Do not attempt to move the trap from the location shown in Figure 6.11. Do not attempt to substitute another trap for the one provided with the boiler.

g)The vent shown in Figure 6.11 must be left open for the trap to work properly.

WARNING

BOILER CONDENSATE IS CORROSIVE. ROUTE CONDENSATE DRAIN LINE IN A MANNER SUCH THAT ANY CONDENSATE LEAKAGE WILL NOT CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS MAY REQUIRE THAT CONDENSATE BE NEUTRALIZED PRIOR TO DISPOSAL.

BWC Series specifications

The Crown Boiler BWC Series is a modern choice for heating needs, renowned for its efficiency and robust design. This series offers a range of residential and light commercial heating applicabilities, ensuring both comfort and reliability for users.

One of the standout features of the BWC Series is its efficiency. Crown Boilers utilize advanced technologies to maximize energy output while minimizing fuel consumption. With an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating often exceeding 90%, users can expect significant cost savings on their energy bills over time.

The BWC Series employs a high-quality, stainless steel heat exchanger, which not only enhances performance but also extends the lifespan of the boiler. This heat exchanger is designed to transfer heat efficiently, ensuring that the maximum amount of energy from the fuel is converted into usable heat. Additionally, the design helps to prevent corrosion and maintain system integrity over years of usage.

For technological advancements, the BWC Series incorporates a modulating gas valve which allows for precise control over the boiler's operation. This feature enables the system to adjust its output based on the heating demands of the home, resulting in improved energy efficiency and consistent comfort levels. Moreover, this modulating technology reduces the frequency of cycling, thereby prolonging the lifespan of the unit and minimizing wear and tear.

Another characteristic of the Crown Boiler BWC Series is its user-friendly interface. The boiler is equipped with a simple control panel that allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of settings. This accessibility is essential for users who want to manage their heating system without the need for extensive technical knowledge.

In terms of installation and maintenance, the BWC Series is designed with convenience in mind. Its compact footprint allows it to fit comfortably in a variety of spaces, making it an ideal choice for homes with limited installation areas. Additionally, Crown Boiler's commitment to high manufacturing standards ensures that the units require minimal maintenance, providing peace of mind to homeowners.

Overall, the Crown Boiler BWC Series is an excellent solution for those seeking efficient, reliable heating. Its combination of advanced technology, quality construction, and user-friendly design makes it an attractive option for any residential or light commercial application. Whether replacing an old system or installing a new one, the BWC Series delivers comfort and performance that can be depended upon.
