General Guidelines

General guidelines
Installation, maintenance and service of this boiler must only be carried out by a qualified contractor.
The assembly sequence is essential to reliable operation of the boiler and associated heating system. The
boiler can be assembled, hydrostatically tested and operated without boiler insulation and jacket panels.
These items can be installed at a later date without disrupting boiler operation.
NOTE
: A minimum supply temperature of 122° F must be maintained during burner operation. Controls
must be provided that will shut off circulation through the boiler when the supply temperature
drops below 122° F. This requirement applies only during burner operation. There is no
minimum return water temperature requirement.
All work shall be performed in strict accordance with the requirements of state and local regulating agencies
and codes dealing with boiler installations. Initial start-up must be performed by qualified personnel.
After start-up the owner or its representative should be instructed about the boiler operation and be given
the assembly and maintenance manual.
Boiler cleaning and maintenance must be carried out once annually. This includes an overall check of the
heating system. Any discrepancies must be corrected immediately.
NOTE:
To perform the hydrostatic pressure test after the boiler is assembled, 2 - 2" or 3" caps, 3/4", 1"
and 2" plugs and a 3/4" air vent may be needed. These items are not furnished with the boiler.
NOTE:
This manual is for reference only. The manual does NOT purport to address all design,

determine the applicability and safety of each individual application and ensure its compliance
with local building codes.
It is expected that the user/installer is a licensed heating contractor with knowledge of accepted
industry practices for the installation and maintenance of the equipment and various applications
of the equipment involved.
