Install boiler controls

Failure to properly install, pipe and wire boiler controls may result in severe damage to the boiler, building and personnel.

Water boiler

1.Install controls as shown on Control Tapping Table and Figure 3, page 6. Limit control and supply piping must be on the same end of EGH boiler.

2.Low water cut off for water boilers:

a)Must be installed if boiler is located above radiation level.

b)Must be installed on all EGH 105-125 water boilers to meet ASME specifications (low water cut-off not supplied by Weil-McLain).

c)May be required on water boilers by certain state, local or territorial codes or insurance companies. If a low water cut-off is used on a water boiler, use a control designed especially for water installations. An electrode probe type may be located in a tee in the supply line above boiler, also see Control Tapping Table, page 6.

3.If system is to be ASME inspected and approved, an additional high temperature limit is needed. Purchase and install in supply line above boiler.

Steam boiler

1.For steam boilers furnished with probe-type low water cut-offs, install as shown in Figure 17.

2.For steam boilers furnished with float type low water cut-off, install controls as illustrated in Figure 18.

Install blowdown line in bottom of cutoff. See Figure 19 and control manufacturer’s instructions for details.

Pipe blowdown line near floor close to floor drain to eliminate potential of severe burns. Do not plug, valve or place any obstruction in blowdown line.

a)Other float-type water-level controls for EGH steam boilers are shown in Figure 19. (Use 1 inch I.P.S. connections).

b)Water feeders are not recommended for primary control. A low-water cut-off with pump controller is recommended with a condensate receiver and feed pump.

3.Install remaining controls as shown in Control Tapping Table and Figure 3, page 6.

NOTE: Water line dimension measured from bottom of boiler section leg where it rests on the boiler room floor or boiler foundation.
