Install steam boiler controls

Install controls:
	Figure 39 Steam control locations

1. Install controls where shown in Figure 38 and Figure 39.

Failure to properly install, pipe and wire boiler controls can result in severe damage to boiler, building and per- sonnel; and is not covered by boiler warranty.

a.Install steam pressure operating and high limit controls and pressure gauge. See Figure 38, Figure 39 and Figure 40, page 28. Pressure limit control settings:

•Low – set according to design requirements.

•High – set at least 2 psi higher than low limit, 15 psi maxi- mum.

b.Relief valve must be installed with spindle in vertical position. Use fittings provided with boiler. Do not make any other con- nection in that piping.

Pipe relief valve discharge through vertical piping to at- mosphere. Use rigid material suitable for 375°F, threaded one end only. Install drain pan elbow to drain condensate. Pipe near floor close to floor drain to eliminate potential of severe burns. Do not pipe to any area where freezing could occur. Do not plug, valve or place any obstruction in discharge line.

c.Install water level controls and gauge glass per Figure 38, Figure 39 and Figure 42, page 28.

•Fittings for controls to be furnished by others.

•If water level control is not shown in Figure 41, page 28, locate casting mark on control and install per manufac- turer's instructions.

Do not use water level controls with quick hook-up fit- tings. Nuisance shutdowns will occur.
