fired boilers.
The installation must conform to the requirements of
the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of
such requirements, to the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1-latest edition. The installation must also
conform to the additional requirements in this Slant/Fin
Instruction Book.
In addition where required by the authority having juris-
diction, the installation must conform to American Soci-
ety of Mechanical Engineers Safety Code for
Controls and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired
Boilers. No. CSD-1.
This manual must be left with owner and should be
hung on or adjacent to the boiler for reference.
This boiler, gas piping and accessories must be
installed, connected, serviced and repaired by a
trained, experienced service technician, familiar with all
precautions required for gas fired equipment and
licensed or otherwise qualified, in compliance with the
authority having jurisdiction.

    III. ANNUAL INSPECTION AND CLEANING: A. It is important that this boiler be inspected by a competent serviceperson to help insure safe and reliable operation.
  • Page 15: Safety Check For Control Systems

    With the main burners firing, remove hose from pressure switch, the one toward front of boiler, see figure 14. (Model V-180 has a single sensing hose.) Gas valve should shut off the main burners. If the main burners do not shut down, shut off the power to the boiler and check for continuity across the pressure switch contacts.

    5. Check manufacturer's recommendations. 6. Check air supply and venting system. 7. Adjust gas input to that shown on boiler rating plate. REMEDY 1. Increase firing rate to that shown on rating plate. 2. Set low limit controls to maintain a higher water tempera- ture.
  • Page 20: Piping A Heating-Cooling System

    If the boiler is used to supply hot water to heating coils in air handling units, flow control valves or other devices must be installed to prevent gravity circulation of water in the coils dur- ing the cooling cycle.
