  • Page 2 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.
  • Page 3 This boiler is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil 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.
  • Page 4 This appliance must be properly vented and connected to an approved vent system in good condition. Serious property damage could result if the boiler is connected to 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.

    1. Listed clearances comply with American National Standard ANSI/NFPA 31, Installation of Oil Burning Equipment. 2. RSA™ boilers can be installed in rooms with clearances from combustible material as listed above. Listed clearances can not be reduced for alcove or closet installations.
  • Page 8 50 ft /1000 BTU per hour then the space is considered a confined space. 4. For boiler located in an unconfined space of a conventionally constructed building, the fresh air infiltration through cracks around windows and doors normally provides adequate air for combustion and ventilation.

    Plug remainder of tappings. 2. Fill boiler with water and apply a pressure of at least 10 psig but no more than 30 psig. Do not apply more than 30 psig to boiler.
  • Page 10 2. Bend jacket according to Figure 28. Starting from the front, wrap the jacket around the boiler. Make sure that return pipe, observation port and shell extension fit proper into there corresponding clearance holes. Continue bending jacket around until front panels meet.

  • Page 12: Water Piping And Trim

    Oxygen contamination of 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.
  • Page 13 The minimum safe water level of a hot water boiler is just above the highest water containing cavity of the boiler; that is, a hot water boiler must be full of water to operate safely. . Install Safety Relief Valve. See Figures 8 and 9.

    Contact local building or fire officials about restrictions and installation inspection in your area. 2. The RSA Series is designed to be vented into a fireclay tile-lined masonry chimney or chimney constructed from type-L vent or a factory built chimney that complies with the type HT requirements of UL103.

  • Page 20 V. Electrical Positively assure all electrical connections are unpowered before attempting installation or service of electrical components or connections of the boiler or building. Lock out all electrical boxes with padlock once power is turned off. Failure to properly wire electrical connections to the boiler may result in serious physical harm.
  • Page 21 If burner ignites within approximately 45 seconds and the cad cell sees flame the burner will continue to operate until the call for heat is satisfied. The circulator will also operate when the thermostat calls for heat if the boiler water temperature is up to the setting of the low limit in the L8124C control.
  • Page 24 NOTICE The Honeywell R8889 Control is available in two three (3) zone models and two four (4) zone models. Burnham recommends using Model R8889A for three (3) zone systems and Model R8889B for four (4) zone systems. Models R888C and R888D have less load capacity and may not operate with certain types of zone valves.
  • Page 25 The Burnham EC5000 Control includes a water temperature sensor. Mount this sensor to the system supply piping. 8. Burnham EC5000 Circulator Zoned System – Refer to Figure 18 of this manual for the electrical diagram for this type of system. Wire the system as indicated in that diagram.
  • Page 28: Oil Piping

    VI. Oil Piping . General. 1. Use flexible oil line(s) so that burner can be removed without disconnecting the oil supply. 2. A supply line fuel oil filter is recommended as a minimum for all firing rates but a pleated paper fuel oil filter is recommended for the lowest firing rate application to prevent nozzle fouling.
