GENERAL

The 8 Series boiler-burner unit is a wet-base, vertical fl ue,
low pressure, sectional, cast iron steam or hot water
heating boiler. It is rated for natural draft firing with
-0.02" W.C. over the fi re draft. Boilers are available as
either factory assembled in blocks from three to six
sections in length with burner and controls supplied for
fi eld assembly or as a completely packaged boiler.
The ports between sections are provided with a special
hydronic seal which is resistant to petroleum products.
The fl ue gas seal between sections is accomplished by
the use of fi berglass rope rated at 1000°F.
Both packaged units and assembled blocks of sections
are hydrostatically tested for the maximum working
pressures. The assembled blocks also include the
special hydronic seals, the glass fi ber rope joint seal, a
precast fi ber target wall, the insulated burner mounting
plate and cleanout covers.
An insulated metal jacket is furnished to both enhance
the units looks and to minimize any heat loss. A
full access cleanout cover for cleaning vertical fl ue
passages is on the left hand side of the boiler and is
accessible by removing the left hand cleanout access
jacket panel.
