HANDLING CERAMIC FIBER
MATERIALS
REMOVAL OF SIGHT GLASS GASKET
The sight glass gasket in this product
contains ceramic fiber materials that have
been identified as carcinogenic, or pos-
sibly carcinogenic, to humans. Ceramic
fibers can be converted to cristobalite in
very high temperature applications. The
International Agency for Research on
Cancer (IARC) has concluded, "Crystal-
line silica inhaled in the form of quartz or
cristobalite from occupational sources is
carcinogenic to humans (Group 1).":
❏ Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
Use NIOSH certified dust respirator (N95).
This type of respirator is based on the OSHA
requirements for cristobalite at the time this
document was written. Other types of respira-
tors may be needed depending on the job site
conditions. Current NIOSH recommendations
can be found on the NIOSH web site at http://
www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html. NIOSH
approved respirators, manufacturers, and
phone numbers are also listed on this web site.
Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing,
gloves, and eye protection.
❏ Apply enough water to the sight glass gasket to
prevent airborne dust.
❏ Remove sight glass gasket from the boiler and place
it in a plastic bag for disposal.
❏ Wash potentially contaminated clothes separately
from other clothing. Rinse clothes washer thor-
oughly.
NIOSH stated First Aid
❏ Eye: Irrigate immediately
❏ Breathing: Fresh air.

FIRED WATER BOILER
FIRST-YEAR SPECIAL INSPECTION
1.
stalled, perform a first-year inspection of the boiler.
This must include the following
a. Remove the heat exchanger cover plate. Inspect
the heat exchanger and clean if necessary. See
instructions for removing and replacing the
heat exchanger cover plate, and for cleaning
the heat exchanger, in the Maintenance section
of this manual.
b. Make sure the burner is clean.
c. Make sure the burner gasket is in good condi-
tion. Replace if necessary.
d. Disconnect condensate trap and drain lines.
Inspect, then flush thoroughly.
2. Determine follow-up maintenance and service
needs based on the condition of the heat exchanger
and condensate lines.
a. If the heat exchanger shows substantial fouling,
or if condensate lines show accumulation of
sediment, schedule a follow-up service call to
perform the first-year inspection again, sooner
than the normal twelve months between.
b. Heavy fouling of the exchanger or condensate
lines indicates possible combustion air contami-
nation. Inspect the air intake area carefully, and
remove possible contaminants. See " Corrosive
contaminants and sources," Figure 12, page 22,
for products to avoid.
You must eliminate causes of corrosion
and contamination to ensure reliable
operation of the boiler and system.
