NOTICE  
This boiler has a limited warranty, a copy of which is printed on the back of this manual.  
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and are operating  
properly when the installation is complete. The warranty for this boiler is valid only if the boiler has been  
installed, maintained and operated in accordance with these instructions.  
DANGER  
DO NOT store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or any other  
appliance.  
WARNING  
Improperinstallation,adjustment,alteration,serviceormaintenancecancausepropertydamage,personal  
injury or loss of life. Failure to follow all instructions in the proper order can cause personal injury or  
death. Read and understand all instructions, including all those contained in component manufacturers  
manuals which are provided with the appliance before installing, starting-up, operating, maintaining or  
servicing this appliance. Keep this manual and literature in legible condition and posted near appliance  
for reference by owner and service technician.  
This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained  
in this manual. Installation, maintenance, and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled  
and knowledgeable installer or service agency. All heating systems should be designed by competent  
contractors and only persons knowledgeable in the layout and installation of hydronic heating systems  
should attempt installation of any boiler. It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all  
controls are correctly installed and are operating properly when the installation is completed. Installation  
is not complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the specified tapping located at the rear of  
appliance - See Section III of this manual for details.  
This boiler is suitable for installation on combustible flooring. Do not install boiler on carpeting. Do not  
operate on floors where heat affected material is below.  
Do not tamper with or alter the boiler or controls. Retain your contractor or a competent serviceman to  
assure that the unit is properly adjusted and maintained.  
Clean boiler at least once a year - preferably at the start of the heating season to remove soot and scale.  
The inside of combustion chamber should also be cleaned and inspected at the same time.  
Have Burner and Controls must be checked at least once a year or as may be necessitated.  
Do not operate unit with jumpered or absent controls or safety devices.  
Do not operate unit if any control, switch, component, or device has been subject to water.  
Returnwatercannotbelowerthanꢁ5°Fforprolongedperiodsoftime. Operationundertheseconditionswill  
result in sustained condensing within the combustion chamber and potentially reduce boiler longevity.  
In addition, the return water cannot be introduced into the boiler if it is more than 40°F less than the idle  
boiler temperature. Continued operation under these conditions may result in premature boiler failure  
through thermal shock.  
Example: A boiler that has been idle for some time since the last heat demand cycle may have it’s boiler  
water temperature reduced to ꢀ50°F. The return temperature from the next zone activation cannot be  
less than ꢀꢀ0°F.  
If the above conditions exist, an RTC (or similar type of control) system must be installed to protect  
the boiler from sustained condensing operation and thermal shock. See separate RTC Manual, P/N  
8ꢀ46ꢁ82.

WARNING  
Appliance materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy  
metals, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which  
can cause death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth  
defects and other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when  
servicing or working nearby the appliance.  
This boiler contains very hot water under high pressures. Do not unscrew any pipe fittings nor attempt  
to disconnect any components of this boiler without positively assuring the water is cool and has no  
pressure. Always wear protective clothing and equipment when installing, starting up or servicing this  
boiler to prevent scald injuries. Do not rely on the pressure and temperature gauges to determine the  
temperature and pressure of the boiler. This boiler contains components which become very hot when  
the boiler is operating. Do not touch any components unless they are cool.  
This appliance must be properly vented and connected to an approved vent system in good condition.  
Do not operate boiler with the absence of an approved vent system.  
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate  
combustion and ventilation air.  
The interior of the venting and air intake systems must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the  
heating season and should be inspected periodically throughout the heating season for any obstructions.  
Clean and unobstructed venting and air intake systems are necessary to allow noxious fumes that could  
cause injury or loss of life to vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's efficiency.  
This boiler is supplied with controls which may cause the boiler to shut down and not re-start without  
service. If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the heating system should not be left unattended in  
cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and alarms should be installed on the heating system to prevent  
damage if the boiler is inoperative.  
This boiler is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil, natural and/or LP gas only. Do not use gasoline, crankcase  
drainings, or any oil containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. Do not convert to  
any solid fuel (i.e. wood, coal). Do not convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All flammable  
debris, rags, paper, wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area  
clean and free of fire hazards.  
Always keep the oil supply valve shut off if the burner is shut down for an extended period of time.  
Probe and float type low water cutoff devices require annual inspection and maintenance. Refer to  
instructions in Section V, Paragraph C for inspection and cleaning instructions.  
NOTICE  
All V9A Series cast iron boilers are designed, built, marked and tested in accordance with the ASME Boiler  
and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV, Heating Boilers. An ASME Data Label is factory applied to each V9A  
jacket, which indicates the boiler Maximum Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP). Each cast iron section is  
permanently marked with the MAWP listed on the boiler’s ASME Data Label. Those values for the V9A are as  
follows:  
MAWP, Steam - ꢀ5 psi  
MAWP, Water (USA) - 80 psi  
MAWP, Water (Canada) - 45 psi  
It is common and acceptable practice to install these boilers in lower pressure systems, below the boiler  
MAWP. Therefore, Burnham offers safety relief valves set at or below the MAWP of the boiler. See Table ꢀ for  
available safety relief valve set pressures.

NOTICE  
When a V9A gas fired boiler is connected to  
a venting system that is designed so that it  
will operate under a negative pressure, the  
use of Type C, B, or other manufactured vent  
systems designed for negative pressure is  
acceptable.  
For boiler rooms not adjacent to outside walls, the  
combustion air shall be supplied in a manner acceptable  
to the authority having jurisdiction.  
When a V9A oil fired or combination gas/oil  
fired boiler is connected to a venting system  
that is designed so that it will operate under  
a negative pressure, the use of Type C, L or  
other manufactured vent systems designed  
for negative pressure is acceptable.

WARNING  
When a V9A gas fired boiler is connected  
to a venting system that is designed so that  
it will operate under a positive pressure,  
manufactured vent systems, designed and  
approved for positive pressure application per  
ULꢀꢂꢁ8,mustbeused(forexample,Van-Packer  
model CS, Protech Model FasNSeal / FasNSeal  
W2, Heatfab Saf-T-Vent or equivalent).  
When a V9A oil fired or combination gas/oil  
fired boiler is connected to a venting system  
that is designed so that it will operate un-  
der a positive pressure, manufactured vent  
systems, designed and approved for posi-  
tive pressure application, must be used (for  
example, Selkirk Metalbestos Model PS / IPS,  
Van-Packer Model ES or equivalent).  
Figure ꢁa: Typical Arrangement for Stub Vent  
If the venting system is designed for positive or forced  
draft venting, the boiler, vent connector and stack will  
operate under positive pressure. Gas tight vent systems  
designed for pressure systems must be used to prevent  
flue by-product leakage. The vent height is usually  
limited to prevent negative draft, typically three (3)  
feet above the roof line (see Figure 3a). The damper  
shall be adjusted to maintain a positive pressure of  
0.1” W.C. in the vent connector box during burner high  
fire operation (see breeching pressure sensing port in  
Figure 1).  
The V9A Series boiler is designed for forced draft  
firing and may be used with a conventional natural draft  
stack (15’ minimum height) or a stub vent, sometimes  
called a diesel stack (see Figure 3a). See Table I for  
the proper vent outlet size. For low silhouette vent  
terminations, see Figure 3b. Draft controls are not  
normally required, although they may be used on  
installations where a natural draft stack is used or on  
multiple boiler installations with a common stack. The  
boiler is provided with a breeching damper, which  
should be adjusted to maintain a positive pressure of  
0.1” W.C. in the vent connector box during burner high  
fire operation (see breeching pressure sensing port in  
Figure 1).  
If the venting system is designed for negative pressure  
(natural draft), the boiler still operates with positive  
pressure in the chamber and up to the fixed damper on  
the flue collar. However, if the venting system is larger  
than what is required, the stack will provide a surplus  
draft (or negative pressure) that may require the use of  
a barometric damper to maintain the positive 0.1” W.C.  
pressure at the flue outlet. Multiple forced draft boiler  
stacks should always be designed as negative to ensure  
the products of combustion do not exit a boiler that is  
not firing.  
WARNING  
Venting instructions are recommendations only. Consult a venting expert on the design of a specific  
vent system for your application. The ASHRAE Venting Guide and The National Fuel Gas Code, NFPA  
54 should be considered in all venting systems.  
Conventional vent material may not be suitable for the application. Flue gases can leak carbon  
monoxide from the joints on these materials and can result in severe personal injury or death.  
Installations having long horizontal runs or an excessive amount of tees or elbows will restrict the flow  
of combustion gases and can result in condensation, flue gas leakage of carbon monoxide, resulting in  
severe personal injury or death.

FAULTY BOILER BURNER OPERATION  
1. If improper vent is suspected, remove pipe at breeching and operate boiler. This will determine if excessive down draft,  
blocked or restricted flue, etc. is causing the problem.  
2. If using type shown in A above, be sure cap is raised sufficiently above main pipe to allow flue gases to vent unimpeded.  
3. A popular type cap is shown in B.  
4. The tee is frequently used as shown in C.  
5. D and E should not be used due to possible fluctuations in back pressure.

SECTION II - CAST IRON BLOCK ASSEMBLY  
A. FACTORY ASSEMBLED SECTIONS — If the  
boiler was ordered with factory assembled sections,  
the assembly should be set in the proper location as  
outlined in Section I. Lifting arrangement and weights  
are given in Figure 4.  
1. Proceed to Paragraph C of this Section,  
“HYDROSTATIC TEST”.  
CAUTION  
Boiler sections must be drawn-up on perfectly  
level surface or improper assembly may result.  
B. FIELD ASSEMBLED SECTIONS — If the boiler  
was ordered to be field assembled, follow the assembly  
procedure outlined on the following pages.  
1. ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (MANUAL DRAW-  
UP)  
These sections are designed to be drawn together,  
one section at a time, using the 9¾” long draw-up  
rods (provided) and ordinary hand tools.  
Figure 5: Positioning of Back Section  
Tools required:  
(1) ¾” Drive Ratchet  
(1) 1-1/16” Socket  
b. On size V903A only— Open target wall carton,  
apply Silastic to back of target wall and secure  
target wall to rear section.  
(1) 1-1/16” Combination or Open End Wrench  
(1) Container of grease, oil or other appropriate  
lubricant.  
c. Clean the groove in the ground joint along the  
edge of the section with the wire brush.  
d. Open the Boiler Assembly Carton(s) and remove  
the bottle of adhesive. Using the dauber supplied  
in the bottle, apply the adhesive to the groove.  
Be sure to use enough adhesive to sufficiently  
coat the entire groove surface. If so desired,  
a multi-purpose spray adhesive (supplied by  
others) may be used instead. HOWEVER,  
GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO  
ENSURE THAT THE ADHESIVE DOES  
NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE  
NIPPLES OR NIPPLE PORTS.  
CAUTION  
When assembling sections without hydraulic  
draw-up equipment, never assemble more than  
one section at a time.  
a. Place the rear section in its approximate final  
position, as outlined in Section I, and support it  
with a suitable prop and wedges. See Figure 5.  
e. While the adhesive is becoming tacky, clean  
nipples and nipple ports thoroughly with a de-  
greasing solvent. Use the Loctite #592 provided  
to lubricate the nipples and nipple ports. Apply  
the lubricant to the nipples and nipple ports,  
then use a brush to disperse it evenly around the  
nipples and the nipple ports. Use approximately  
25 ml of Loctite #592 per flueway [(1) 7” and  
(2) 3” nipples and their (6) corresponding nipple  
ports].  
f. Drive nipples squarely into section using  
block of wood and hammer, or preferably, an  
aluminum head hammer. (Burnham offers a  
Polyethylene Block for setting the nipples, part  
number 8052601). Place block over entire  
nipple edge and hit the wood with the hammer.  
Figure 4: Lifting Instruction  
ꢀ4  
WARNING  
Nipples must be driven in evenly and to the  
proper depth to assure tight joints. Most  
nipple leaks are caused by tilted or cocked  
nipples.  
DO NOT use steel/iron head hammer to drive  
nipples without using a wood block. Nipple  
damage may result.  
g. A special nipple setting gauge is provided for the  
nipples. Gauge nipple at 90° angles to insure  
that it is driven to the proper depth into the  
nipple opening (nipple port). Cut-out in gauge  
must rest on nipple, with legs of gauge touching  
finished face of section, when nipple is properly  
driven. See Figure 6.  
Figure 7: Affixing the Fiberglass Rope  
NOTICE  
The sections must be assembled according to the  
arrangement shown to ensure proper operation,  
proper assembly of canopy, jacket and alignment  
of piping and tankless heaters with jacket  
knockouts. Start with the back section and work  
towards the front.  
i. From the “Section Arrangement” chart, select  
the next section according to the “Identification  
Code” at the top of the chart. See Figure 8. Use  
a wire brush to clean the groove in the face  
of the next section. Then, using a cartridge of  
RTV 6500 or RTV 736 sealant in a caulking gun,  
fill the groove in this section with silastic sealant.  
Touch-up any missed spots before draw-up.  
Touch-up after draw-up has no value.  
Figure 6: Setting of Nipples  
h. Remove a 96” length of fiberglass rope from  
the assembly carton. Starting with the area  
around the upper 7” nipple port, firmly press  
the rope into the groove, so that the adhesive  
holds it in place. (If more than 25 minutes have  
passed since the adhesive was applied, it may  
be necessary to reapply.) Continue to affix the  
rope to the groove in this fashion around the  
perimeter of the section. Make sure that the rope  
does not droop or hang outside of the groove.  
When the end of the groove is reached, cut off  
the excess rope. Push the length of excess rope  
into the groove at the top corner of the section  
face (opposite of the 7” nipple port.) Cut off and  
discard any remaining rope after groove is filled.  
See Figure 7.  
WARNING  
Sections must be drawn-up tight immediately  
afterproperlyapplyingsealantforbestresults.  
Although sections may be joined within two  
(2) hours of applying sealant, humidity and  
temperature affect cure time. If a “thick skin”  
has been formed on the sealant bead, remove  
and re-apply sealant.  
SealantmustbeproperlyappliedtoALLboiler

ꢀ5  
NOTES: FOR BOILERS LESS TANKLESS HEATER, REPLACE THE "CT" SECTIONS WITH "C" SECTIONS.  
Figure 8: V9A Section Arrangement  
j. Clean and lubricate nipple ports on next section  
to be assembled and place on nipples previously  
installed in rear section. To facilitate assembly,  
it is advisable to enter the upper nipple first in  
its port. Then enter the lower nipples in their  
respective ports. If necessary, place a lifting bar  
(crowbar) under the center of the section and lift  
the nipple port onto the upper nipple.  
m. DRAW UP SECTION SLOWLY AND  
EVENLY using an alternating pattern starting  
with the upper right lug (closest to the 7” port)  
and proceeding to the lower left , lower right  
and finishing with upper left lug. When you  
start, grind surfaces between adjoining sections  
should be approximately 3/8” apart. Use  
three (3) or four (4) passes at tightening the  
four (4) draw-up rods a little at a time so that  
sections are pulled up evenly. During the last  
pass, pay close attention to the silastic sealant  
as it squeezes when the sections come in close  
contact. The silastic sealant should continue  
to squeeze out wafer thin until the sections are  
connected metal to metal. If the silastic has  
stopped squeezing out from the connection and  
the sections still do not appear to be drawn metal  
to metal, use a feeler gauge to measure any gaps  
at the locations identified in Figure 9. (Unless  
specified otherwise, gaps should be measured at  
these locations on both sides of the sections.) A  
maximum gap of .025” is acceptable. Measure  
gaps at the outer edge of the connection only,  
making sure not to puncture the gasket created  
by the silastic and rope.  
k. Drive sections in place with a heavy block of  
wood, striking blows as squarely as possible over  
nipple port.  
l. The large draw-up rod lugs with dual holes  
are cast in the four (4) corners of each casting.  
STARTING WITH THE UPPER HOLES,  
install four (4) 5/8” x 9¾” long draw-up rods  
along with washers and nuts (see Figure 9).  
CAUTION  
To avoid damage to the draw-up rod threads while  
drawing up sections, apply oil or other lubricant  
to tie rod threads while assembling sections to  
prevent stripping of threads on rod and to make  
assembling easier.  
ꢀ6  
p. EXCESS LENGTH OF DRAW-UP RODS must  
not extend beyond front and rear section to  
ensure proper fit of jacket, adjust accordingly.  
q. After all sections have been drawn up, the  
draw-up rod nuts should be loosened until  
finger tight and then tightened ½ turn with a  
wrench.  
r. Now Proceed to Paragraph C of this Section,  
Hydrostatic Test.  
2. ASSEMBLY OF SECTIONS (HYDRAULIC  
DRAW-UP)  
The entire boiler assembly may be drawn up at one  
time using hydraulic draw-up equipment providing  
the operation is completed within two (2) hours after  
application of the sealant.  
a. Repeat steps 1a through 1k under “Field  
Assembled Sections (Manual Draw-Up).”  
b. Continue driving sections in place (in their  
respective order) until all sections are in the  
assembly. Ground surfaces between adjoining  
sections should be spaced 1/4” to 3/8” apart.  
Spacing of more than 3/8” will limit number of  
sections that can be drawn up in one unit and  
could indicate cocked nipples.  
Figure 9: Connection Inspection Locations and  
Manual Draw-Up Tie Rod Pattern  
WARNING  
When tightening the draw-up nuts, DO NOT  
EXCEED ꢀ50 FT-LB OF TORQUE. If the maximum  
torque limit has been reached and a gap greater  
than .025” still exists between the sections,  
consult the regional office.  
WARNING  
Sealant must be properly applied to ALL boiler  
joints. Failure to properly seal the boiler joints  
will result in combustion gas leaks through to  
joint. DO NOT operate boiler with combustion  
gas leaks. The sealant should be applied before  
each section is placed on the assembly.  
KEEP NIPPLES ALIGNED WITH NIPPLE  
PORTS. If necessary, tap edge of nipples lightly  
with a blunt tool or rod to keep nipples from  
cocking while sections are being drawn-up. DO  
NOT DRAW UP SECTION WHEN NIPPLES  
ARE COCKED. If the torque required becomes  
excessive, periodically place a heavy block of  
wood over each nipple port and strike as squarely  
as possible with several blows to relieve tension  
on the draw-up rods.  
On long boiler assemblies, it may be necessary to  
draw-up a partial block if the entire boiler is not  
ready to be drawn-up tight within two (2) hours  
of the first application of Silastic. If the block  
assembly time extends overnight, the partial  
block completed must be drawn-up tight before  
leaving the boiler overnight. If a joint springs  
out, it must be redrawn tight within four (4)  
hours of first application of Silastic to the joint.  
n. CONTINUE ASSEMBLING SECTIONS IN  
THEIR RESPECTIVE ORDER alternating  
draw-up rods from the upper to lower set of  
holes in draw-up lugs (see Figure 13). Be certain  
that all sections are drawn up iron-to-iron at all  
three (3) nipple ports.  
c. Insert the three (3) ¾” draw-up rods (and  
couplings, if appropriate) through the tapped  
holes in the rear section extending them through  
the tapped holes in the front section. Be sure to  
screw draw-up rods into couplings far enough to  
prevent stripping threads.  
BE SURE TO APPLY THE SEALANT to  
the groove in the ground joints between  
adjacent sections as the boiler operates with a  
positive pressure in the firebox and products of  
combustion will escape between sections unless  
the sections are properly sealed. The sealant  
should be applied before each section is placed  
on the assembly.  
d. Place a 3” x 12” lg. steel channel on each end of  
the upper draw-up rod and a 3” x 8½” lg. steel  
channel on each end of the lower draw-up rods.  
Refer to Figures 10 and 11 for proper placement  
of channel block during assembly procedures.  
Install nuts and washers on one end of the draw-  
up rods and the hydraulic rams, washers and  
o. If a joint springs apart it must be redrawn tight  
within four (4) hours of the time of application of  
Silastic to that joint.  
ꢀꢂ  
draw-up rod clamps on the other. These items  
are all located in the Draw-Up Kit.  
See Figure 12.  
CAUTION  
Do not apply pressure directly on threaded  
tappings on front and rear sections with draw-up  
channels during assembly procedures.  
Rods should be approximately centered in  
openings so that rods and couplings (when  
used) do not drag on pipe thread in end section  
tappings.  
WARNING  
READ THE STATEMENTS BELOW BEFORE  
ATTEMPTING TO USE HYDRAULIC EQUIPMENT.  
• Release pressure in ram pumps before  
attempting to remove clamps.  
• Do not stand in line with draw-up rods at either  
end when hydraulic pressure is being applied.  
As a safety measure, ends of draw-up rods  
should be covered while sections are being  
drawn in case rods should snap while under  
tension.  
Figure ꢀꢀ: Center Section Channel Block Position  
(Partial Block Draw-Up)  
The large draw-up rod lugs with dual holes cast  
in the four (4) corners of each casting. Starting  
with the upper holes in the back section, install  
four (4) 5/8” x 9¾” long tie rods along with  
washers and nuts. Continue installing the tie  
rods alternating from the upper to lower set  
of holes in draw-up lugs until front section is  
secured. Be certain that all sections are drawn  
up IRON TO IRON at all three nipple ports.  
• Do not operate ram against draw-up coupling.  
• Do not operate pump after ram has reached  
stroke limit.  
h. Excess length of draw-up rods must not extend  
beyond front and rear section to ensure proper fit  
of jacket, adjust accordingly. Tighten all tie rod  
nuts until finger tight. Then tighten them an  
additional ½ turn with a wrench.  
C. HYDROSTATIC TEST — After the boiler sections  
have been assembled, it is essential that the boiler be  
hydrostatically tested before the canopy, flue cover  
plates, jacket, or piping is installed.  
1. Tankless Heater Installation  
If boiler is ordered with tankless heaters, install  
heaters with the gaskets provided. Table IV gives  
the maximum number of heaters permissible per  
assembly and the heater ratings.  
Figure ꢀ0: Front and Rear Section Channel  
Block Positions (Hydraulic Draw-Up)  
e. Draw-Up Sections  
2. Plug all boiler tappings and fill boiler completely  
Use hydraulic rams to draw up sections by  
applying pressure alternately on the draw-up  
rods. When rams reach stroke limit, release  
pressure in ram pumps and then move clamps to  
new position.  
with cold water.  
CAUTION  
DO NOT install gauge until after hydrostatic  
testing the boiler. Gauge failure may result.  
f. Continue to draw-up until all sections make  
contact at the ground joints.  
3. All completed boilers must satisfactorily pass the  
prescribed hydrostatic test.  
g. After all sections have been drawn up, but before  
removing the hydraulic rams and draw-up rods,  
the 9¾” long tie rods must be installed.  
ꢀ8  
Figure ꢀ2: Hydraulic Draw-Up Sections  
a. STEAM BOILERS: The assembled boiler must  
be subjected to a hydrostatic test of 45 psig to 55  
psig.  
b. HOT WATER BOILERS: The assembled boiler  
must be subjected to a hydrostatic test of not less  
than 1½ times the maximum allowable working  
pressure, as established by the relief valve  
provided with the boiler. For example, a boiler  
with a 50 psi relief valve must be subjected to a  
test pressure of 75 psig to 85 psig.  
WARNING  
Failure to properly hydrotest all boilers at the  
correct pressure may result in section assembly  
failure in operation.  
4. EXAMINE BOILER CAREFULLY, INSIDE AND  
OUTSIDE, to insure against leaks from cocked  
nipples or through concealed breakage caused in  
shipping and handling. This precaution is for your  
protection and will simplify handling of necessary  
replacements and adjustment claims.  
5. After making certain that there are no leaks, drain  
boiler and remove plugs for boiler trim and other  
connections.

instructions may void manufacturer’s warranty.  
Also consult I=B=R Installation and Piping Guides.  
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  
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 ꢀꢁ5°F,  
may result in premature boiler failure due to flue  
gas condensation and/or thermal shock.  
WARNING  
Failure to properly pipe boiler may result in  
improper, unsafe system operation and void  
manufacturer’s warranty.  
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.  
DO NOT improperly pipe boiler.  
WARNING  
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.  
All steam and hot water pipes must have  
clearances of at least ꢀ/2” from all combustible  
construction.  
WARNING  
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.  
A hot water boiler installed above radiation level  
must be provided with a low water cutoff device  
as part of the installation.

be maintained at 135°F and temperature  
differential across the system is at 40°F

f. Glycol Antifreeze Solutions - Many systems  
today use ethylene or propylene glycol antifreeze  
solutions as a measure for freeze protection, as  
well as a pump lubricator and corrosion inhibitor.  
The properties of the glycol mixture have an  
impact on valve and pump sizing. All glycol  
solutions have a lower specific heat than water.  
This means that the glycol solution cannot  
transfer heat as well as pure water, resulting in  
the need for higher flow rates. In addition, the  
viscosity of the glycol solution is usually higher  
than water, requiring a higher pump head for the  
same given flow. Consult factory for specific  
applications, pump selection and flow rate.  
recommended minimum boiler piping  
details.  
ii. If minimum return water temperature cannot  
be maintained at 135°F or the temperature  
differential across the system varies, a blend  
pump is recommended as a minimum to help  
protect the boiler from flue gas condensation  
and/or thermal shock. See piping details in  
Figure 28. Primary secondary piping with  
a by-pass is an alternate to the blend pump  
method and is shown in Figure 29.  
d. If conditions exist where the boiler is subjected  
to prolonged periods of operating conditions  
below 135°F, other mixing methods such as three  
or four way valves or variable speed injection  
should be used. Burnham Commercial offers an  
RTC Return Temperature Control kit to protect  
the boiler. See separate RTC manual.  
WARNING  
A properly constructed Hartford Loop must be  
installed on all gravity return steam systems.  
Hartford Loop is not required on pumped return  
systems.  
e. Multiple Boilers - Recommended minimum  
multiple boiler piping is shown in Figure 30 as  
primary secondary with a by-pass. The boiler  
circulator will maintain a constant flow through  
the boiler during every heat demand while the  
by-pass diverts a portion of hot water back to  
the return. Alternate minimum multiple boiler  
piping is shown in Figure 31. The blend pump

applications, such as hotel showers and laundries.  
See Figure 37b for recommended piping and wiring  
details for this type of application. The tempering  
valve and recirculation loop are advantageous in  
these applications, because they provide both high  
temperature and tempered domestic hot water to  
the system, eliminating the need to purge and waste  
water until it reaches the desired temperature. In  
the case where the boiler is used for domestic  
production only, and there is no space heating  
involved, a destratification pump is utilized to  
provide flow within the boiler. This flow acts as a  
means of preventing the hot water from stratifying  
at the top of the boiler. Destratification pump flow  
rates are given in the table in Figure 37b.  
M. BOILER PIPING, DOMESTIC HOT WATER  
(DHW) APPLICATION – The V9A boiler can be  
used in many different piping applications to produce  
Domestic Hot Water (DHW). In some applications,  
depending on the control strategy (outdoor reset,  
setpoint operation, etc.) and size of boiler, it is  
recommended to isolate the space heating load from  
the DHW load. For example, if the domestic load is  
more than the space heating load, it is beneficial to  
dedicate one or more boilers solely to DHW production  
and one or more other boilers to solely space heating,  
since during mild weather conditions, the boiler(s)  
will have more capacity than is required. Piped in the  
recommended manner, the space heating boiler(s) can  
be shut down during the summer months to conserve  
energy and to avoid short cycling. This section  
will address four methods of piping and controlling  
domestic hot water generation.  
3. Hot Water Boiler/Indirect Water Heater - The use  
of indirect water heaters for domestic hot water  
generation is common and somewhat advantageous  
over tankless coils alone, since they also provide  
DHW storage. A tempering valve and recirculating  
pump are again recommended for a dual temperature  
system, to provide a constant temperature to the  
fixtures without waiting for cooler water to warm  
up. Figure 37c shows a typical indirect heater  
piping application with no space heating. Indirect  
pump flow rates are calculated based on a 20°F DT.  
1. Hot Water Boiler/Tankless Coil(s) - Tankless  
coils, mounted into the side of the boiler, have  
been used successfully for many years and may  
be used in single and multiple boiler applications.  
When a boiler is arranged with tankless coils, it  
is not recommended that outdoor reset be used,  
unless there are control systems in place to prevent  
overheating of the space heating zones.  
Figure 37a depicts the addition of an automatic  
mixing valve to the tankless heater piping to obtain  
a dual temperature domestic system. The mixing  
valve provides tempered water to the fixtures,  
while the branch prior to the valve provides high  
temperature water for dishwashing, washing  
machines and other appliances.  
NOTICE  
DO NOT use the boiler circulator as an indirect  
domestic hot water system circulator.  
4. Steam Boiler/Indirect Water Heater – Consult  
I=B=R Installation and Piping Guide No. 200. Use  
the Indirect Water Supply tapping, “R” (Special  
Order Only – see Figure 24) when connecting an  
Indirect Water Heater directly to the boiler.  
2. Hot Water Boiler/Tankless Coils/Storage Tank - This  
application involves the use of several tankless coils  
piped in parallel, emptying into a large storage tank,  
and is typically used in larger DHW production  
NOTICE  
When possible, domestic hot water production should utilize a dedicated boiler(s). This will allow the other  
boiler(s) to be shut down and isolated during the summer months. If the boiler load is shared between  
heating and domestic hot water, then one needs to determine if a hot water priority is required. If a priority  
is not selected, erratic domestic hot water production may result during the beginning and end of every  
heating season. Conversely, a priority for domestic hot water production may cause a significant heating  
zone activation delay, in an improperly balanced system. Parallel piping conversions may require isolation  
from the heating system to prevent system flow influence on DHW performance. Consult a qualified system  
heating professional to design for the proper application.  
ꢁ9  
N. CONNECT TANKLESS HEATER PIPING as  
shown in Figure 37a. See Table IV for Tankless Heater  
Ratings.  
NOTICE  
The following guidelines should be followed when  
piping the tankless heater:  
1. Install Flow Regulator  
If flow through the heater is greater than its rating,  
the supply of adequate hot water may not be able to  
keep up with the demand. For this reason a FLOW  
REGULATOR matching the heater rating should be  
installed in the cold water line to the heater. Refer  
to Figure 37a for piping recommendations. Locate  
the flow regulator below the inlet (cold water side)  
of the heater and a minimum of 36” away from the  
inlet so that the regulator is not subjected to excess  
temperatures during “off” periods when it is possible  
for heat to be conducted back through the supply  
line. The flow regulator will limit the flow of supply  
water regardless of inlet pressure variations ranging  
from 20 to 125 psi.  
Figure ꢁ5: Recommended Piping for Combination  
Heating & Cooling (Refrigeration) Systems  
Water Boilers  
water will be achieved since the user will not waste  
as much hot water while seeking desired water  
temperature. Higher temperature hot water required  
by dishwashers and automatic washers is possible  
by piping the hot water from the heater prior to  
entering the mixing valve. An electric hot water  
booster can also be used. The mixing valve should  
be “trapped” by installing it below the cold water  
inlet to heater to prevent lime formation in the valve.  
2. Install Water Temperature Mixing Valve  
WARNING  
Install a mixing valve at the tankless heater  
outlet to avoid risk of burns or scalding due to  
excessively hot water at fixtures. Do not operate  
the boiler when equipped with a tankless heater  
unless mixing valve is operating properly.  
3. Flushing of Heater  
All water contains some sediment which settles  
on the inside of the coil. Consequently, the heater  
should be periodically backwashed. This is  
accomplished by installing hose bibs as illustrated  
in Figure 37a and allowing water at city pressure to  
run into hose bib A, through the heater, and out hose  
bib B until the discharge is clear. The tees in which  
the hose bibs are located should be the same size as  
heater connections to minimize pressure drop.  
Refer to Figure 37a for piping recommendations.  
Adjust and maintain the mixing valve in accordance  
with manufacturers instructions.  
Installation of a mixing valve will also lengthen the  
delivery of the available hot water by mixing some  
cold water with the hot. In addition, savings of hot  
4. Hard Water  
A water analysis is necessary to determine the  
hardness of your potable water. This is applicable  
to some city water and particularly to well water.  
An appropriate water softener should be installed  
based on the analysis and dealer’s recommendation.  
This is not only beneficial to the tankless heater but  
to piping and fixtures plus the many other benefits  
derived from soft water.  
CAUTION  
Do not operate tankless heater with hard water.  
Tankless failure will result. Install water softener  
if hard water is present.

CLEAN HEATING SYSTEM IF boiler water or  
condensate return water is dirty or if erratic water lines  
or surging exist after a few days of boiler operation.  
Refer to Paragraph (F) for proper cleaning instructions  
for steam and water boilers.  
1. STEAM BOILERS - Fill boiler to normal water  
line. As shown in Figure 1, the normal water line  
is 41½” from the floor or bottom of casting. At  
the start of each heating season and once or twice  
during the season try SAFETY VALVE to be sure it  
is in working condition. To do this, fasten wire or  
cord to lever of valve and pull lever — standing safe  
distance away from valve.  
C. SET CONTROLS with burner service switch turned  
“OFF”.  
1. PRESS RESET BUTTON on primary control and  
release.  
2. On STEAM BOILERS set cut-in pressure on  
L404A Pressuretrol for three (3) PSI and differential  
pressure for two (2) PSI. These pressures may be  
varied to suit individual requirements of installation.  
2. HOT WATER BOILERS - Fill entire Heating  
System with water and vent air from system. Use  
the following procedure on a Series Loop or Multi-  
zoned System to remove air from system when  
filling:  
3. On STEAM BOILERS WITH TANKLESS  
DOMESTIC WATER HEATERS, set boiler water  
temperature dial on low limit operating control at  
190°F (max.). Set differential at 10°.  
45  
4. ON WATER BOILERS WITHOUT TANKLESS  
HEATERS, set high limit dial on L4006A at 210°F.  
This temperature may be varied to suit requirements  
of installation.  
CAUTION  
Probe and float type low water cutoff devices  
require annual inspection and maintenance.  
5. ON WATER BOILERS WITH TANKLESS  
HEATERS, set low limit operating control dial at  
190°F and high limit dial 210°F. Operating control  
must be a minimum of 20° below high limit setting.  
Set differential at 25°.  
4. CHECK OPERATING CONTROL on boiler  
equipped with tankless heaters. With burner off,  
draw hot water until burner starts, then turn off hot  
water and check burner shutdown.  
F. BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING - STEAM  
BOILER  
D. ADJUST BURNER according to the Burner Manual.  
1. FLAME FAILURE  
The V9A boiler controls operate the burner  
automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner  
ceases to fire and the reset button on the primary  
control is tripped, the burner has experienced  
ignition failure. Before pressing the reset button,  
call your serviceman immediately.  
NOTICE  
A qualified water treatment chemical specialist  
should be consulted for recommendations  
regarding appropriate chemical compounds and  
concentrations which are compatible with local  
environmental regulations.  
WARNING  
Do not attempt to start the burner when excess  
oil or gas has accumulated in the combustion  
chamber, when the unit is full of vapor, or when  
the combustion chamber is very hot.  
WARNING  
Chemicals used in treating boiler water are  
toxic and/or harmful. Always use protective  
clothing and equipment when working with/  
near chemicals. Contact local authorities  
to determine if treated boiler water can be  
discharged into local waste water system.  
E. TEST CONTROLS  
WARNING  
1. Oil, greases & sediments which accumulate in a  
new boiler and piping must be removed in order  
to prevent an unsteady water line and carry over  
of the water into the supply main above boiler.  
Operate the boiler with steam in the entire system  
for a few days allowing the condensate to return  
to the boiler. If the condensate can temporarily be  
wasted, operate boiler only for the length of time  
it takes for condensate to run clear. If the latter  
cannot be achieved or if the condensate is returned  
to the boiler, boil out the boiler using the SURFACE  
BLOWOFF connection. See Figure 38a.  
Before installation of the boiler is considered  
complete, the operation of the boiler controls  
should be checked, particularly the low water  
cutoff and the high limit control.  
All controls must be checked prior to putting the boiler  
in service.  
1. CHECK OPERATING CONTROL OPERATION.  
Raise and lower operating control setting as required  
to start and stop burner.  
2. CHECK OPERATION OF HIGH LIMIT  
CONTROL —  
a. Drain boiler until water is just visible in gauge  
glass. Run temporarily 1½” pipe line from the  
surface blowoff connection to an open drain or  
some other location where hot water may be  
discharged safely. Do not install valve in this  
line.  
Jumper Operating Control Terminals. Allow burner  
to operate until shutdown by limit. Installation is  
not considered complete until this check has been  
made. REMOVE JUMPER.  
3. CHECK LOW WATER CUTOFF control with water  
level at normal water line (see Figure 1). Raise  
operating control setting to allow burner to operate.  
Open boiler drain to allow water level to drop to  
bottom of sight glass until burner operation is shut  
down by low water cutoff.  
b. Add an appropriate amount of recommended  
boilout compounds.  
c. Start burner and operate sufficiently to boil  
the water without producing steam pressure.  
Boil for about 5 hours. Open boiler feed pipe  
sufficiently to permit a steady trickle of water  
from the surface blowoff pipe. Continue this  
slow boiling and trickle of overflow for several  
hours until the water coming from the overflow  
is clear.  
Close boiler drain and refill to normal water line.  
Burner should automatically restart during fill.  
RESET OPERATING CONTROL.  
46  
d. Stop burner and drain boiler in a manner and to  
a location that hot water can be discharged with  
safety.  
if this sample is not clear, repeat the cycle of  
draining the boiler and return main and refilling  
the boiler until sample is clear.  
e. Refill boiler to normal water line. If water in  
gauge glass does not appear to be clear, repeat  
steps (a. thru e.), and boil out the boiler for a  
longer time.  
f. If the boiler water becomes dirty again at a later  
date due to additional sediment loosened up in  
the piping, close gate valve in Hartford Loop,  
open drain valve in return main, turn on burner  
and allow condensate to flow to drain until it has  
run clear for at least 30 minutes while feeding  
water to boiler so as to maintain normal water  
level. Turn off burner, drain boiler, open gate  
valve in Hartford Loop, then repeat step (1)  
above.  
2. Low pressure steam boilers such as the V9A Series  
should be maintained with appropriate water  
treatment compounds. After cleaning process has  
been completed, add water treatment compounds  
as recommended by your local qualified water  
treatment company.  
5. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.  
3. Remove temporary surface blowoff piping and  
replug tapping. Boil or bring water temperature to  
180°F promptly in order to drive off the dissolved  
gases in the fresh water.  
After boiler and system have been cleaned and  
refilled as previously described, test the pH of the  
water in the system. This can easily be done by  
drawing a small sample of boiler water and testing  
hydrion paper which is used in the same manner  
as litmus paper, except it gives specific readings.  
A color chart on the side of the small hydrion  
dispenser gives the reading in pH. Hydrion paper  
is inexpensive and obtainable from any chemical  
supply house or through your local druggist. The  
pH should be higher than 7, but lower than 11. Add  
some appropriate water treatment chemicals, if  
necessary to bring the pH within the specified range.  
4. If unsteady water line, foaming or priming persist,  
install gate valve in Hartford Loop and drain valves  
in return main and at boiler and proceed as follows:  
a. Connect hoses from drain cocks to floor drain.  
Close gate valve in Hartford Loop and open  
drain valve in return main. Fill boiler to normal  
water level, turn on burner and operate boiler  
at this water level for at least 30 minutes after  
the condensate begins to run hot, then turn off  
burner.  
6. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.  
Close all radiator valves. Remove all supply  
main air valves and plug the openings in supply  
main.  
G. BOILER AND SYSTEM CLEANING - WATER  
BOILERS  
b. Draw about 5 gallons of hot water from boiler  
into a container and dissolve into it appropriate  
amount of a recommended boilout compound.  
Remove surface blowoff plug and pour this  
solution into boiler, then reinstall plug.  
1. Filling of Boiler and System --- General --- In a hot  
water heating system, the boiler and entire system  
(other than the expansion tank) must be full of water  
for satisfactory operation. Water should be added to  
the system until the boiler pressure gauge registers  
normal system design operating pressure. To insure  
that the system is full, water should come out of all  
air vents when opened.  
c. Turn on burner and keep operating while feeding  
water to boiler slowly. This will raise water level  
in boiler slowly so that water will be boiling hot  
and will rise slowly into supply main and back  
through return main, flowing from drain hose  
at about 180°F. Continue until water runs clear  
from drain hose for at least 30 minutes.  
2. Boiling Out of Boiler and System. The oil and  
grease which accumulate in a new hot water boiler  
can be washed out in the following manner.  
a. Remove safety relief valve using extreme care to  
avoid damaging it.  
d. Stop feeding water to boiler but continue  
operating burner until excess water in boiler  
flows out through supply main and water lowers  
(by steaming) until it reaches normal level in  
boiler. Turn off burner. Drain boiler. Open all  
radiator valves. Reinstall all supply main air  
valves. Open gate valve in Hartford Loop.  
b. Add an appropriate amount of recommended  
boilout compound.  
c. Reinstall safety relief valve.  
d. Fill the entire system with water.  
e. Start firing the boiler.  
e. When boiler has cooled down sufficiently (crown  
sheet of sections are not too hot to touch), close  
the drain cocks at boiler and in return main and  
feed water slowly up to normal level in boiler.  
Turn on burner and allow boiler to steam for  
10 minutes then turn off burner. Draw off one  
quart of water from bottom gauge glass fitting  
and discard. Draw off another quart sample and  
f. Circulate the water through the entire system.  
g. Vent the system, including the radiation.  
h. Allow boiler water to reach operating  
temperature, if possible.  
i. Continue to circulate the water for a few hours.  
j. Stop firing the boiler.  
4ꢂ  
k. Drain the system in a manner and to a location  
that hot water can be discharged with safety.  
water are dissolved minerals and oxygen. When the  
fresh, cool make-up water is heated in the boiler the  
minerals fall out as sediment and the oxygen escapes  
as a gas. Both can result in reduced boiler life. The  
accumulation of sediment can eventually isolate  
the water from contacting the cast iron. When this  
happens the cast iron in that area gets extremely hot  
and eventually cracks. The presence of free oxygen  
in the boiler creates a corrosive atmosphere which, if  
the concentration becomes high enough, can corrode  
the cast iron through from the inside. Since neither of  
these failure types are the result of a casting defect, the  
warranty does not apply. The maintenance of system  
integrity is the best method to prevent these types of  
failure.  
l. Remove plugs from all available returns and  
wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as  
possible, using a high-pressure water stream.  
m. Refill the system with fresh water.  
3. Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds  
as recommended by your local qualified water  
treatment company.  
4. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.  
After boiler and system have been cleaned and  
refilled as previously described, test the pH of the  
water in the system. This can easily be done by  
drawing a small sample of boiler water and testing  
with hydrion paper which is used in the same  
manner as litmus paper, except it gives specific  
readings. A color chart on the side of the small  
hydrion dispenser gives the reading in pH. Hydrion  
paper is inexpensive and obtainable from any  
chemical supply house or thru your local druggist.  
The pH should be higher than 7 but lower than 11.  
Add some appropriate water treatment chemicals, if  
necessary to bring the pH within the specified range.  
With this lower level of protection, care must be  
exercised to eliminate all of the free oxygen in the  
system.  
I. OXYGEN CORROSION:  
WARNING  
Oxygen contamination of the boiler water  
will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler  
components, and can lead to boiler failure.  
Burnham’s standard warranty does not cover  
problems caused by oxygen contamination of  
boiler water or scale (lime) build-up caused by  
frequent addition of water.  
5. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.  
There are many possible causes of oxygen  
contamination such as:  
IMPORTANT  
a. Addition of excessive make-up water as a result  
of system leaks.  
IF, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS  
NECESSARY TO ADD MORE WATER PER  
MONTH THAN INDICATED BELOW, CONSULT A  
QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO CHECK  
YOUR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS.  
b. Absorption through open tanks and fittings.  
c. Oxygen permeable materials in the distribution  
system.  
In order to insure long product life, oxygen sources  
must be eliminated. This can be accomplished  
by taking the following measures:  
EXCESSIVE WATER ADDITION:  
(Gal/Month)  
a. Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need for  
addition of make-up water.

SECTION V - SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS  
DANGER  
This boiler uses flammable gas, high voltage electricity, moving parts, and very hot water under high  
pressure. Assure that all gas and electric power supplies are off and that the water temperature is cool  
before attempting any disassembly or service.  
More than one gas shut-off valve and electrical disconnect switch are used on the boiler. Assure that  
all gas valves and electrical disconnect switches are off before attempting any disassembly or service.  
Do not attempt any service work if gas is present in the air in the vicinity of the boiler. Never modify,  
remove or tamper with any control device.  
WARNING  
This boiler must only be serviced and repaired by skilled and experienced service technicians.  
If any controls are replaced, they must be replaced with identical models.  
Read, understand and follow all the instructions and warnings contained in all the sections of this  
manual.  
If any electrical wires are disconnected during service, clearly label the wires and assure that the wires  
are reconnected properly.  
NEVER operate boiler without all sight glasses and brackets in place and securely fastened and sealed.  
Very HOT combustion gas may cause burn injury.  
Read, understand and follow all the instructions and warnings contained in ALL of the component  
instruction manuals.  
Assure that all safety and operating controls and components are operating properly before placing the  
boiler back in service.  
b. Loosen nuts securing the flue cleanout plates  
and remove the plates. The insulation should  
be removed with the plates taking care not to  
damage the insulation.  
A. GENERAL — Inspection should be conducted  
annually. Service as frequently as specified in  
paragraphs below. While service or maintenance is  
being done, electrical power to the boiler must be “off”.  
c. Using a 1¼” diameter wire or fibre bristle brush  
(36” handle) clean the flueways. Start at the top  
of each flueway opening and work down the pin  
rows using two or three horizontal strokes per  
row for best results.  
B. CLEAN THE BOILER HEATING SURFACES  
& FLUE at least once each year, preferably at the end  
of the heating season.  
1. CLEAN THE VENT SYSTEM — Vent system  
should be checked annually for:  
3. CLEAN TOP OF BOILER SECTIONS  
a. Obstructions.  
Remove the jacket top panel. Remove the top flue  
canopy cover or outlet assembly. Use a flashlight to  
inspect the upper portion of the flueways and top of  
castings for soot and debris. Heavy accumulations  
over 1/16” thick must be removed. Remove the  
canopy being careful not to damage the cerafelt  
strips. Brush and vacuum the upper flueways and  
tops of castings.  
b. Accumulations of soot.  
c. Deterioration of vent pipe or vent accessories  
due to condensation or other reasons.  
d. Proper support — no sags, particularly in  
horizontal runs.  
e. Tightness of joints.  
f. Remove the smoke pipe. Remove all  
accumulations of soot with wire brush and  
vacuum. Remove all obstructions. Replace all  
deteriorated parts and support properly. Seal all  
joints.  
4. CLEAN THE FIREBOX  
a. Disconnect fuel line(s) and remove burner and  
burner mounting plate.  
b. Using wire or fibre bristle brush clean crown of  
boiler and inside of water legs.  
2. CLEAN THE BOILER FLUEWAYS  
a. Remove the jacket left side panels.  
c. Inspect target wall (V903A only) for damage or  
deterioration. If target wall is damaged, replace.  
49  
5. REASSEMBLE BOILER  
c. Disconnect wiring connections between the low  
water cutoff control and the probe.  
CAUTION  
d. Dismount the low water cutoff control from the  
probe.  
Do not start the burner unless canopy, smokepipe,  
burner mounting plate and all flue plates are  
secured in place.  
e. Unscrew the probe from the boiler tapping.  
f. Inspect that portion of the probe that is exposed  
to the boiler water for a scale or sediment  
buildup.  
a. If removed, install the canopy taking care to  
align the cerafelt strips. If strips are damaged  
replace as needed.  
g. Light deposits may be removed by wiping the  
probe with a damp cloth. Wiping the probe  
with a cloth soaked in vinegar will remove more  
tenacious lime deposits. The most stubborn  
deposits may be removed from the probe by  
using a diluted amount (three 3 parts of water to  
one (1) part) of phosphoric acid (H2PO4).  
b. Reinstall burner mounting plate to front section  
making sure 3/16” diameter rope gasket is in  
place and forms gas tight seal. If gasket is  
damaged, replace.  
c. Bolt burner to burner mounting plate. Inspect  
gasket to assure adequate seal. Replace if  
damaged. Connect oil line(s) and/or gas line(s).  
WARNING  
d. Reinstall flue plates making sure gasket on each  
plate is in place and forms gas tight seal. If  
damaged, all edges of the cleanout plates should  
be sealed with Silastic sealant when reinstalled  
until insulation can be replaced.  
Exercise caution when handling phosphoric acid  
and follow the instructions on container label.  
Always use protective clothing and equipment  
when working with/near chemicals.  
e. If removed, reinstall jacket top.  
f. Reinstall left side panels.  
g. Reinstall smokepipe.  
h. Wire brushing of the probe is not recommended  
as the soft platinum guard ring sandwiched  
between the ceramic insulators may be damaged.  
Care must be taken not to damage this ring in  
any way or the useful life of the probe may be  
shortened.  
C. MAINTENANCE OF LOW WATER CUTOFF  
DEVICES.  
i. Clean the pipe threads of the probe to remove  
old, hardened pipe dope and other foreign matter.  
NOTICE  
j. Apply a moderate amount of good quality pipe  
dope to the pipe threads on the probe. Leaving  
the two end threads bare. Do not use PTFE  
(Teflon) tape.  
Probe and float type low water cutoff devices  
require annual inspection and maintenance.  
1. PROBE TYPE LOW WATER CUTOFF  
k. Screw the probe into the boiler tapping.  
l. Mount the low water cutoff control on the probe.  
m. Reconnect the control to probe wiring.  
n. Fill the boiler to its normal waterline.  
Although these devices are solid state in their  
operation, the probe is exposed to possible  
contamination in the boiler water and subject to  
fouling.  
It is important to physically remove the probe from  
the boiler tapping annually and inspect that probe  
for accumulation of scale or sediment.  
o. Add boiler water treatment compound as needed.  
p. Restore electric service to the boiler.  
q. Fire burner to bring the water in the boiler to a  
boil to drive off free oxygen.  
Follow these steps to inspect, clean and/or replace  
the probe:  
r. BEFORE RETURNING BOILER TO  
SERVICE Follow the low water cutoff checkout  
procedure in Section IV, Paragraph E, Step 3.  
a. Turn off electric service to the boiler.  
b. Drain boiler water to a level below the tapping  
for the probe.  
2. FLOAT TYPE LOW WATER CUTOFF  
During the heating season, if an external low water  
cutoff is on the boiler, the blow off valve should  
be opened once a month (use greater frequency  
where conditions warrant), to flush out the sediment  
chamber so the device will be free to function  
properly.  
DANGER  
Assure that the boiler is at zero pressure before  
removing the LWCO probe. Do not rely on the  
pressure gauge to indicate that the boiler is at  
zero pressure. Open the safety valve to relieve  
all internal pressure prior to proceeding. Safety  
valve discharge piping must be piped such that  
the potential for burns is eliminated.  
Low water cutoffs and water feeders should be  
dismantled annually by qualified personnel, to the  
extent necessary to insure freedom from obstructions  
50  
and proper functioning of the working parts. Inspect  
connecting lines to boiler for accumulation of  
mud, scale, etc., and clean as required. Examine  
all visible wiring for brittle or worn insulation and  
make sure electrical contacts are clean and that they  
function properly. Give special attention to solder  
joints on bellows and float when this type of control  
is used. Check float for evidence of collapse and  
check mercury bulb (where applicable) for mercury  
separation or discoloration. DO NOT ATTEMPT  
TO REPAIR MECHANISMS IN THE FIELD.  
Complete replacement mechanisms, including  
necessary gaskets and installation instructions, are  
available from the manufacturer.  
This will make less venting necessary during the  
winter.  
4. Where an expansion tank is used, make sure that  
neither the tank nor its drain pipe is exposed to  
freezing temperatures. Never place valves in piping  
leading to or from expansion tank.  
5. Boiler and system cleaning will help assure  
trouble free operation. See Section IV - Operating  
Instructions, Paragraphs F or G for procedure.  
G. ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN  
OPERATION  
WARNING  
D. CHECK BURNER AND CONTROLS at least  
once a year. See Section IV - Operating Instructions,  
Paragraph E for control checks. See Burner Manual for  
burner tests and adjustments.  
If boiler is not used during winter time, it must be  
fully drained to prevent freeze damage.  
1. Spray inside surfaces with light lubricating or  
crankcase oil using gun with extended stem so as to  
reach all corners.  
E. LUBRICATE BOILER COMPONENTS according  
to manufacturer’s instructions. Generally, this involves  
the oil burner and circulator. This includes the type of  
lubricant to use, frequency of lubrication, and points to  
lubricate.  
2. With steam boilers, at end of season add sufficient  
water to fill boiler to top of water column and leave  
it that way until fall when water should be drained  
again to proper level. If at this time boiler water is  
dirty, drain water, flush out boiler, and refill with  
clean water to prescribed water level.  
F. GENERAL MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS  
1. Keep radiators and convectors clean.  
3. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off  
when the burner is shut down for an extended period  
of time.  
2. If a hot water radiator is hot at the bottom but not at  
the top, it indicates that air has accumulated inside  
and should be vented. To vent radiator, hold small  
cup under air vent (located near top of radiator),  
open vent until water escapes and then close.  
4. To recondition the heating system in the fall season  
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions  
outlined in Section IV - Operating Instructions,  
Paragraphs B through G.  
3. If much water is added to system, it is advisable to  
heat system to a high temperature and vent again.
