BOILER PLACEMENT AND ASSEMBLY

2. BOILER PLACEMENT AND ASSEMBLY

A.SETTING THE BOILER

1.Provide a level foundation, located as close as possible to the center of the heating system.

2.Refer to Figure 2.2 for exploded view of boiler while checking and/or assembling parts of the boiler.

3.See clearance information in Section 1, "Preinstallation."

4.On packaged boilers, open burner mounting plate (Item 3) at this time to make certain the target wall

(Item 2) is seated in the back of the combustion chamber. Ceramic fiber blanket base liner (Item 28) should be lying flat on bottom of combustion chamber between target wall and burner.

B.OBSERVATION COVER ASSEMBLY (KNOCKDOWN BOILERS)

1.Remove observation door (Item 4) from inside burner mounting plate. Attach the observation door to the outside of the mounting plate.

C.INSTALLATION OF FLUE COLLECTOR & COVERPLATES (KNOCKDOWN BOILERS)

1.Open flue collector carton. Remove flue collector (Item 9) and high temperature rope. Lay rope (Item

8)on top of boiler against bead provided. Place flue collector on top of rope and attach to boiler with 1/4"-20 x 1-3/4" studs with nuts through flue collector brackets into the tapped lugs provided in the top of the boiler end sections. Draw nuts down snugly.

2.Remove clean-out cover plates and insulation (Item

25).Each clean-out cover plate is attached to the boiler by using two carriage bolts, nuts and washers (Item 24). Install the carriage bolts into the notch at the top and bottom of each clean-out opening, then secure them with a flat washer and steel nut as shown in Figure 2.1 locking them in place. Press the clean-out plate with insulation over the protruding carriage bolts until the bolts punch through the insulation so flat washer and brass nut can be installed. Tighten down nuts snugly compressing the insulation to form a good seal around the clean-out opening.

Be sure rubber gasket is in place NOTICE between cover plate or water heater

plate and boiler section.

E.JACKET ASSEMBLY

1.Refer to Figure 2.2 for exploded view.

2.Attach the back panel (Item 19) to bosses on middle of back section with two 1/4" x 3/8" truss head machine screws (Item 20) provided. The back panel has two 5/16" diameter holes close to the center of the panel.

3.Lift off the burner mounting plate.

4.Remove the (2) knock-outs in the front jacket panel (Item 23) which allow clearance for the hinge. Place the front jacket panel on the block and replace the burner mounting plate.

5.Attach right side jacket panel (Item 22) to the front and back panels with sheet metal screws.

6.On steam boilers, if a tankless heater is used, remove the knock out in upper left side jacket panel (Item 21) and back jacket panel (Item 19) before installing. Attach left side jacket panels in the same manner as the right side panel.

7.Attach the top panel (Item 26). Secure top panel to front and back panel with sheet metal screws.

D.TANKLESS HEATER OR COVERPLATE

If an ECT steam boiler is to be installed with a tankless heater coil, the coil must be installed before the left side jacket panels are attached. When a tankless heater is not employed, cover the heater opening with cover plate (Item 12 or 16).

See Section 3, Piping and Controls, for piping information.
